[Chapter Song: Alone Together by Fall Out Boys]

Day 3:

The sun lights hit my face causing me to wake up. I forgot to close my curtains because I enjoyed watching the night sky. My eyes laid on the wall clock and I almost jump in my bed when I saw the time. It was 10am! Yes, 10 in the morning!! It was my first time waking up at this hour, if I'm in the hospital I'll probably doing garden walk right now.

I run at the kitchen when I feel my hangry stomach, yes hangry! It means hungry and angry. After heating some leftovers, I made myself a milk and started eating.

Matapos kumain ay naligo na din ako dahil nakakaramdam na ako ng banas. I wear an oversized shirt with a printed statement 'hoping..' and partnered it with my maroon short. It really feels good wearing different kinds of clothes everyday unlike in the hospital.

"Ohmygosh!" Napahawak ako sa dibdib ko dahil sa gulat ng marinig ang kalabog galing sa kabilang kwarto. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay doon yun sa kwarto ng lalaki kagabi.

Pumunta muli ako sa kusina at kumuha ng tinapay habang pinalamanan ko ito ng chocolate jam. Lumabas ako habang dala dala ang plato na may lamang tinapay.

Ilang beses akong kumatok sa pinto nya pero hindi pa din nya ako pinagbubuksan. Aalis na sana ako nang marinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto kaya agad akong humarap dito.

"Hi! Goodmorning!" Masigla kong bati sa kanya.

"What do you want?" Walang sigla nyang tugon, ilang naman akong ngumiti sa kanya.

"Uhm do you want some...foods?" Tanong ko habang inangat ang hawak kong plato.

"I don't want food, I want to die." Papasok na sana sya ngunit napatigil sya ng marinig ang sinabi ko.

"I'm also dying!"

"What!?" Galit nyang tanong at lumapit sakin.

"I said, I am also dying."

"I have no time for your fucking jokes."

"But its true! I have a cancer and I'm dying." Tinalikudan nya ako, susunod pa sana ako sa kanya kaso ay pinagsaraduhan nya na ako ng pinto.

Kinagat ko nalamang ang tinapay na dala ko at bumalik sa aking kwarto.

People who's drown with their dark thoughts tends to push other people away because they think that they'll just add burdens to them. They want to seek for help but they're afraid to call for help. I understand him, I really understand. I can't stop myself from thinking that we're alike, we are actually both dying. He's dying inside while I'm dying literally.

My phone rang and I answer the call immediately when auntie's name pop up.

"Hello?"

"Hello sweetie, how's your stay there? Is everything okay?"

"Yes auntie, everything here is just so fine."

"Good to know, mang noel is on his way to fetch you pinadala ko na din ang credit cards mo at nagpadala din ng allowance for emergency. Buy everything you want okay?"

"Yes auntie, thank you very much. I love you."

"You are always welcome, I love you too."

Napangiti naman ako ng ibaba ko ang tawag. We are so blessed for having auntie kirsten with us. Ibang iba sya sa nababasa ko sa libro, sa libro ay kapag namatay ang mayaman na may ari ng kumpanya gagawin ng kapatid nito ang lahat para makuha at mapa-sakanya ang kumpanya. Auntie kirsten is so selfless, mas inuuna nya ang kapakanan namin kasya sa kanya. Political Science and natapos nya pero mas pinili nyang tulungan si daddy sa kumpanya ng mawala ang mommy ko. Hindi sya nawala sa tabi ng daddy ko at laging isinasalba ang kumpanya. napakaresponsable nyang ate para kay daddy at hindi nya hinayaan na malubog lahat ng pinaghirapan ni daddy. She treated me as her own daughter, she never failed to visit me every saturday when I'm in the hospital. Kahit nasa ibang bansa sya ay pipilitin nyang makauwi para lang dalawin ako. She was like a mother to me, hindi ko sinasabi na kinalimutan ko na si mommy but auntie is always there for me, she never let me feel alone. That's I am really thankful to her and I don't know what to do without her.
