"Anak, are you okay?" My mom taps my shoulders, I cried so so much tears last night, that now I can't breathe properly. Para akong napugutan ng hininga sa sobrang emosyon na nararamdaman ko. It's like my chest is going to explode any moment now. "Mom–i need. To...meet...mark." kinaya kong huminga ng maayos pero masakit pa 'rin ang dib dib ko. "Anak, uminom ka Muna ng tubig." My mom hands me the glass of water, but I pushed it away. "Ma, si mark."

Breath in. Breath out.

Hanggang sa nawalan ako ng malay.
Isinadib-dib ko lahat ng problema ko for the past few weeks that now I'm suffering to the extent na lagi akong namumutla that slowly everyday I'm becoming vulnerable. I was becoming weak and weak as days goes by.

Nagmulat ang aking mata at nakita na nasa isang puting silid ako, may oxygen na naka kabit sa ilalim ng ilong ko at may mga nakasabit na mga IV dextrose sa katawan ko. I glanced at my right where the door was located, I saw my mother crying and the doctor explaining something to my mother. From here in my bed I could hear their conversation's

"Her poor emotional health can weaken her immune system and to her entire body. Also when she is stressed and anxious or even upset, she's not taking care of her health as well as she should." I heard the sighs and sobs of my mother. I know na Hindi ito magandang balita para sa 'kanya.

"What are you trying to say doc??" My mom looked so hopeless, "I'm portraying to the sickness she has that ngayon lang natin nalaman." My eyes widen in shock, I was not ready to hear what the doctor was going to say. But bahala na si Batman pag malaman ko man.

"She's over fatigue already." Mom utters.

"At dahil diyan lumala ang sakit niya..." At doon gumuho ang Mundo ko...

May sakit ako?

"Doc, please do everything to save her without her knowing her sickness. Please doc." My mom pleaded, she was crying and crying. "We'll try our best Mdm." The doctor dismisses himself at si mama ay tulala pa 'rin, she walked closer to where I was lying down. "Ma." My voice was very base, I can't even move my body. Masyadong Mabigat ang pakiramdam ko.

"Anak, magpahinga ka–"

"Ma ano ang sakit ko?" I avoided her gaze. "Anak." She was trying her best to make up words to tell me, but i was eager to know the truth. I deserve to know the truth, I own my body and I should know whatever sickness is conquering my body.

It took her awhile to answer....

"May heart failure ka." My world went crushing down, my eyes were teary.  My whole body was trembling. "Ho–how could this happen to me." I was stuttering. Di 'to pwede mangyari sa 'kin, di ako pwedeng mawala. Na ngayon ay magkasama na kami ni Mark. "Anak, hahanap kami ng paraan ng dad mo." I started crying again, then my head was stinging.

Ano na ang mangyayari sa 'kin ngayon? Am I just waiting for my last breath now?

No, I have to. I have to fight...lalaban ako! I'll keep my words. I promised to fight for our love, kahit kamatayan ang kadigma ko.

kinabukasan ay tulala pa 'rin ako sa kwarto, I was considering the thought of calling mark and explaining everything to him. Since uuwi na siya sa Pilipinas bukas na bukas. I will really miss him.

And I called him.
