CHAPTER 18

WILL LOSE SANITY

(EVELYN HAVEN'S POV)

I woke up feeling thirsty and hungry. Mabigat ang pakiramdam ko pero pinilit kong bumangon.

There I saw my face on the vanity mirror. I look pale and all pawis na pawis din ako at may bimpo sa ulo ko.

Pinakiramdaman ko ang sarili ko kung kaya ko na and I stand up and walk towards the vanity mirror.

I touch my face mas pumutla ako kaysa dati. Nabawasan ang timbang ko at mas lalo akong nagmukhang may sakit. I started coughing suddenly probably because of the open window.

Nilapitan ko ang binata at isinara iyon. I am still coughing and my breathing hitch. Hindi ko na iyon pinansin.

Dumiretso ako sa aparador doon. Pakiramdam ko ang lagkit lagkit ko kaya naisipan kong maligo muna.

Matapos kong maligo I felt light kahit papaano pero nandoon pa rin ang sakit ng ulo ko. I don't have a fever anymore at sinat na lang ang pakiramdam ko.

Matapos magbihis lumapit ulit ako sa vanity mirror and started brushing my hair. And then tears started to fall.

'Ligtas ka na Evelyn you don't have to worry anymore'

But my tears won't stop. Lalong bumigat ang pakiramdam ko as I put some foundation and lipstick on my face.

Matapos tinitigan ko ang sarili ko. My face is back but my emotion isn't. Kahit tumigil na ako sa pag-iyak my inside emotions won't stop from aching so I tried my best and practice my smile.

Nagpasya akong bumaba wala akong choice lalo na at gutom na ako. I don't know how much did I sleep siguro weeks? And the fact that wala akong swero ang dahilan ng pagkagutom ko.

As I get closer to the kitchen I can hear voices. Pamilyar ang mga boses but I cannot pinpoint who is who. Madami sila na nasa kusina.

As I step on the kitchen my jaw dropped as I saw 5 familiar faces na hindi ko akalain  na makikita ko pa.

"Gising ka na pala?" I didn't hear any words they said as everything turns black.

(EDWARD DASHIELL'S POV)

"Aalis muna ako mga hijo at hija ha? Kayo muna ang bahala sa mga bata at ako yayaon sa bayan at mamimili" ani Madam Merly and we all nodded in unison.

Naiwan kami sa kusina noong una tahimik pa but I know they want to cut each others head kanina pa.

And the fight starts. Pilit inaagaw ni Maisie kay Warren ang jar of cookies na hawak nito kanina pa hindi kasi siya nito binibigyan.

"Pahinge!!! Warren!!!" Tili ni Maisie and they started running around the kitchen.

"Sa akin nga yan Leia!!! Gumawa ka ng iyo!!!!" Sigaw naman ni Melvin na inaagaw ang sandwich na ginawa niya.

I just look at them running around and remember Haven. She doesn't wake up for the last few days I think 5?

Wala na siyang swero kahapon pa dahil naubusan ng stocks yung doktor. But I didn't show myself on her room again. Pinanindigan ko na hindi siya lapitan until she is well and all.

"Gising ka na pala?" Natigil ang lahat when we hear Maisie's voice. Nag-angat ako ng tingin and saw her closing her eyes before she fall on the ground I catch her immidiately.

I lift her up at agad iniakyat sa kwarto niya. Pagdating doon as I lay her down doon ko napansin ang pag-gaan niya.

"She maybe in shock. Kayo kasi!" Pagtuturo ni Leia kina Maisie at Melvin.

"Wala naman kaming ginawang masama sakanya." Pagtangi naman ni Maisie sinamaan ko sila ng tingin.

"Bumaba muna kayo at asikasuhin yung mga bata ang ingay nyo!" sita ko sakanila and they follow as I say.

There as silence eat us I can't stop myself staring at her. Every detail of her face look precious. Her eyes that is like a mirror of her hidden emotions.

'She is not happy even if she is smiling'

How could a beautiful girl like her go on so much struggle in her life. She should be treated like a princess not a person who is like holding the world in her back.

Her pointed nose that compliment her features. Her pinkish cheeks that compliment her milky pale skin and lastly her lips.

'That lips that make me like this'

I know hindi sinasadya ang mga pagkakataon that we kissed. Sometimes it is on emergency situation but I cannot hide the fact that her lips touch mine.

Hindi ko kinaya ang pagpipigil and kiss her this time not because she needs to but because I want and have to.

(EVELYN HAVEN'S POV)

Nagising ako when I felt something touch my lips. As I open my eyes I saw Edward close and for I don't know reason I didn't stop him from doing so.

I close my eyes ng humiwalay ang mga labi sa akin. My heart is beating fast that I unconciously hold tightly on the bed sheets.

'What the hell is happening to me?'

I open my eyes again just to see him staring at me. Hindi ko alam kung mali ba na nagmulat ako ng mata I thought he leave already.

"Are you okay? Anong nararamdaman mo?" Tanong niya with so much worry.

'I guess I just pretend I didn't know what happen kanina'

"I'm o-o-okay" sagot ko I can't help but stutter as I absorb his stare.

'Is he going to melt me with his eyes'

Nagulat ako ng yakapin niya ako. Ramdam ko kung paano niya sinubsob ang mukha niya sa balikat ko.

"You startled me." aniya and I don't know if I heard him right.

"Why?" I cannot help but ask. Gusto kong malaman ang reason why is he acting like this.

But he move away and left me in my room. Napanga-nga ako sa ginawa niya. Did he just left me hanging?

Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi bumangon ng maramdaman kong okay na ako. As I walk on the mirror and I just find myself applying lipstick on my lips.

Nabitawan ko iyon realizing what am I doing. Hindi ko makapaniwalang tinignan ang sarili sa vanity mirror. My cheeks heated ng mapadako ang tingin sa sariling labi.

'His lips felt soft'

Napailing ako sa mga iniisip ko. I should get a hold of myself to avoid losing conciousness kapag nagugulat ako.

Pagbaba ko wala sila sa kusina then I heard laughs coming from the outside. Doon ko nakita sila na nakikipaglaro sa mga bata.

'Those kid who is left by their own parents'

I don't know but I just found myself searching for someone. That guy what is he doing to me.

And then I felt some arms encircling around my waist. Nanigas ako ng maamoy ang pamilyar na pabango.

'What the hell?! Get yourself together Evelyn!'

So I decided na humarap na wrong move. Because I just make myself face him more. Pigil hininga ako ng lumapit pa siya lalo sa akin. We are I think inch away from each other?

'My mind can't function well!'

"You make me worried. I will lose my sanity Haven if you will fall asleep and never woke again" said by Edward and then kiss my temple.
