The moment I got a glimpse of him, I can see the bruises on his hands. And probably, he have some bruises on his legs too.

His face lit up as soon as he saw me. The sides of his lips curved, smiling at me.

"Keila, ang tagal mo naman along binisita."

"Sorry. My dad won't allow me for some reasons."

Lumapit ako mesa at pinatong doon ang basket saka ako umupo sa isang upuan na nasa gilid ng hospital bed.

"Are you... okay?"

He stared at me for a second and averted his gaze on me. He's now looking at the window, and the crease on his forehead is telling me that he's probably thinking about something right now.

"Okay lang ako Kei." he said. He then looked at me again, and slowly directing his eyes at my back and when I turned to look at what he was looking, it's the basket of fruits.

"Pero mas magiging okay ako kung kakainin ko na ang prutas ngayon." he said and laughed loudly. I chuckled as I stood up and get some fruits from the basket.

"May knife ba dito?"

"Ah, wala eh. Yung apple nalang kakainin ko."

"Okay."

I got two apples from the basket and washed it at the sink. Nang bumalik na ako sa tabi niya ay ibinigay ko ito saka ulit umupo.

He was just silently eating the apple, while I was just staring at him.

Keith, you were such a good friend to me, to us. But unexpected things always happen, so we won't know if we'll be always happy. But then, I wondered, if we'll stay as friends even after highschool?

"Hindi ka kakain?"

"Hindi na. Kumain na ako kanina."

It was a moment of silence after that. He was just eating some apples while I was either looking at him or looking at the window.

I took my cellphone as I opened the camera and quickly took a pic of him eating the apples.

"Aba! Kinuhanan mo ako ng picture no?"

"Yes. You look so innocent here in the pic." I said and chuckled.

"Sana sinabihan mo ako agad para makapag pose ako." he said, frowning.

"Okay fine. Do some pose." He then made some funny poses while holding the apple. I was just busy taking pictures of him, until he said to take some selfies of us.

And since I kinda hate selfies, he grabbed my phone and he was the one taking pics of us with my grumpy face.

"Bakit ba ayaw mo ng selfies?" he asked while scrolling at my gallery. He was laughing as he noticed that I was really grumpy at our pics.

"Then let's ask someone to take some pics of us." he said.

"But there's no one here."

"Then let's find some way."

Gosh. He really looks so cute right now.

He made a frown face as he was looking at the pictures. Just how bad does he really want some pics of us?

Wait.

I know someone.

"I'll ask my Dad. He's just outside."

"Ano?!"

I stood up and walked towards the door and when I opened it, I saw Dad sitting at the chair near here while reading some newspaper.
