Marcus POV
Nandito ako sa labas ng office ni Doktora Galvez.

Doktora ni Emma

I don't know what I'm doing or if it's right or wrong but I am friend, and I'll always be there.

Sa totoo lang, hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko ngayon pero cge lang, bearable naman siya,

Narinig ko ang pag open ng door, it's her.

Nagulat siya nang makita niya ako.

"Oh Marcus, what are you doing here?", tanong niya.

Hindi paba obvious?

"Just wanted to... you know, be there", I hesitated to say that kasi nga nandyan mama niya baka ano-ano pang iisipin ni Mrs. Dela Cruz

"Is he your new friend?", tanong ng mama niya,

"Hi po Mrs. Dela Cruz, ako po si Marcus, Marcus Valenzona po", nag mano ako sa kanya.

I saw Emma awkwardly smiled at her mother.

"Oh please call me tita, okay?", she suggested and she turned to face Emma, "Honey, why didn't you tell me?"

Sinubukan kong hindi mangi-alam sa pag uusapan nila

"I thought it's not important for you to know", Emma responded

Ngumiti ako, the thought of her not telling her mom that she got a new friend is a different kind.

May tinatago ba itong si Emma?

Tumawa nalang si Tita.

"Well okay", she paused and looked at me, "do you wanna spend time with her iho?", tinatanong ako ni tita.

"If okay lang tita", she mouthed that it's okay.

"Eh sayo Ems, okay lang ba sayo?", tanong ko sa kanya.

"Oo naman, tara na!", sabi niya habang hinihila niya ako papalayo sa mama niya.

"Ma! Salamat sa pagsama sa'kin, una na kami", sigaw niya habang papalayo na kami.

"O---okay honey, mag ingat kayo!", dali-daling sabi ni tita

Eto naman kasi si Emma, ano ba naman kasing meron, hindi ko tuloy napigilang ngumiti.

Nang tuluyan na kaming nakalayo.

"Hoy, anong nginingiti-ngiti mo dyan? sa susunod kasi, mag paalam ka", sabi niya

Tumawa nalang ako, "Eh ano namang meron? Mama mo lang yun"

Sometimes, magwo-wonder nalang ako kung bat ang casual ko nang kumausap sa kanya eh it's only been the second day na magkasama kami

Pero clear naman sa'min na hindi na kailangang mahiya, kapag kailangan namin ng company, we'll be there for eachother

Just considering the fact that we're both ill, and we both really know what we feel.

"Hindi madaling ma convince si Mama pag sinabihan ko siyang kaibigan lang kita," she paused as she was catching her breath, "Eh ewan ko ba sa kanya bat ganyan siya", she laughed.

"She'll understand", I assured her, she gave me a -whatever- face

Sunod sunod yung ubo ko.
