-insomnia

13

there's a lot of beads of sweat crowding in my forehead as a call rung in my ears.

agad akong napabangon sa biglaang tawag. kahit na pagod galing sa date namin ni christian, i lazily looked for my phone. it might be something important. kahit gustong-gusto ko pang matulog, sinagot ko. it was an unfamiliar number.

“hello?”

“hello, are you a family relative or friend of mr. christian sandoval?”

it felt like bad news, and i don't know why.

“y-yes? i'm his girlfriend. bakit?”

“can you please come to the hospital? i'm his nurse. he's too critical to survive tonight.”
