Maybe A Drizzle Of Love [Weather Series 1]

Drizzling 18

When I woke up, I was facing a white ceiling in a white room. I was on a hospital bed. On my side was a side table with a small decorative plant that was made out of plastic. There was a small altar at the side then a sofa.

I looked at myself that was still wearing my uniform. My hand has an IV with transparent fluid which was connected to my vain. The room was silent. The air was just enough, I won't sweat.

I tried to sit up, but the door suddenly opened.

Napanganga ako sa nakita. My eyes watered instantly just by the sight of them. I gulped a lump into my throat, then looked at the ceiling trying to stop these stupid tears, but I heard noisy steps then in split second, my small frame was engulfed by a warm embrace.

Nag-unahang tumulo ang mga luha ko kasabay ng hikbing lumalabas sa aking bibig.

He was hugging me so tight like I will disappear any moment.

"You're so stupid. Why aren't you taking care of yourself?" may diing tanong niya kaya lalo akong naiyak.

"Sorry... Sorry 'di ko na uulitin..." I whispered between my sobs and hugged him tighter. "Sorry... s-sorry."

I looked passed Rencey's shoulder and noticed Zyle looking at us.

I reached out my hands and he held it. Giving him an apologizing look as I squeezed his hand.

"Sorry," I said staring at him, while tears are still flowing on my cheeks.

It was weird how I felt electricity when our fingers touched but I chose to ignore it. I was just saying my apology all the time while crying. Terrence caressing my head at times.

I missed them. Ilang araw ko lang silang hindi nakasama pero parang sobrang tagal ko silang hindi nakita.

Pero kasalanan ko rin naman kasi talaga. I admit it that I'm at fault. I was too busy trying to ignore the pain dad caused me. I was too afraid I'll sulk that I tried to entertain myself in a way I thought will make me forget the pain.

"Hush, now. Your eyes are still swollen. Stop crying already."

"S-orry..." I still apologized.

Alam ko naman na dapat sarili ko ang sinusunod ko pero kaya nga may kaibigan, para sabihin nila ang tama at maling ginagawa ko. I knew that they were just worried for me that's why they didn't approve what I'm doing. Pinagbigyan pa nga nila ako ng una, siguro sumobra lang talaga ako...

A knocked interrupted us, making him turn and Zyle let go of my hand. Agad naman siyang bumitaw sa akin saka pinunasan ang mga luha ko saka nila kinausap ang doctor.

I haven't understood anything because my mind was focusing on the fact that they are here. For me. Even though it looked like that I abandoned them before. Still, they care...

"Thanks, Doc," Zyle said at tumango naman ang doctor.

I saw Terrence sighed while Zyle sat on the sofa. I didn't know but I felt like they were tensed earlier and just calmed now.

"Anything wrong?" I asked them. My voice was a little different from crying.

"We thought... maybe you're pregnant. So we asked the doctor to check..."

Nanlaki ang mga mata kong napatingin sa kanila. Terrence sat beside Zyle.

"You what?!"

"Well," Zyle looked away. "You passed out..."

"And knowing what you've been into these past few weeks..." Terrence continued.

Ibinuka ko ang mga bibig ko para sana magsalita pero parang ayaw lumabas ng boses ko kaya itinikom ko na lang ulit ang bibig.
