PART 1 OF 15

"Calyx, we're sorry about that." I heard Steffi said after Calyx asked her to be sensitive enough in talking. I really assume that he heard everything but only interrupted when he felt that our argument will lead into chaos.

Lestina and Heisha dragged me to the nearest chair, away from the cousins. Both my friends helped me in calming down before talking. Steffi's best friends also left after Calyx asked them to. Most of them are really afraid to Calyx that's why they always follow him.

"Sana naman turuan ng leksyon ang babaeng 'yan. So insensitive, masyadong papansin." Lestina still can't move on.

"Tama na, Les. Hayaan nating matuto siya sa sariling ginawa. She's not in the right place to dragged and accused Alexa. I think she just wants our attention," Heisha added. I shook my head and didn't reply from what they are saying.

I've been feeling something that is not cause by our argument. It is something weird that I've been feeling towards Calyx. His simple defending gestures makes my heart to beat fast. I hate him before but after those hatred, it was replaced by something I didn't expect.

Ever since that dream, I realized that a part of him was important to me. He appeared without any signs and he just changed the whole plot of my life. The life that I thought that will always stay the same.

"You can leave now. I won't let you visit Keila until I told you so," kahit medyo distansya ay narinig ko ang sinabi ni Calyx kay Steffi. Steffi understood what just Calyx said and left the place without saying any goodbye, or even an apology to us.

Nagulat ako sa biglaang paglingon ni Calyx saaking direksyon kaya napa-iwas kaagad ako ng tingin. Napa-upo din ako ng maayos at umaktong hindi siya nakitang lumingon saakin.

"You can now get inside," I heard him said without going near on us. He just stood there and told us.

"Okay, thank you Calyx." Heisha answered. Gusto ko ding sumagot pero hindi ko ginawa. Para akong nawalan ng boses at parang naubusan na ng mga salita.

"If you have any concerns, just let me know." Calyx added.

Dahil napatayo na ang dalawang kaibigan ay tumayo na rin ako. Nauna ako sa paglapit sa pinto kaya abot langit ang kaba ko. I am not ready to talk to Keila especially that most people thought that I am behind this. And if Keila see me, I think she will also look at me the same.

Calyx didn't join us in getting inside the room kaya kaming tatlo lang ang pumasok.

The room is not small and not also big. It was just enough for 5 visitors, I think. The coldness touches my skin that made me also feel cold.

"Hey," Keila's voice surprised me as she suddenly talked while sitting on the hospital bed.

"Hello?" hindi ko siguradong sagot. Nasa magandang mood ba si Keila ngayon?

Lestina and Heisha quietly stood beside me. Napansin kong medyo haggard si Keila at namamaga rin ang kanyang mga mata. It seems like she cried all night.
