Kiss the Rain

chapter 25

Chapter 25

Cassy

It was like a nightmare. Fighting alone in a place where no one is there but me and my fears. It's like they are all choking me to death but I'm fighting them out. There are familiar voices of the people I love but even if how hard I tried look for them, I just couldn't seem to find them.

I cried but I still fight.

Until one day, nakayanan ko ang magmulat.

"Let's go, Sofia." Rain snatch my waist as I'm standing near the window looking at rain falling outside the condo building of New Jersey.

It's been months since I got out from the hospital. The tragedy visits me at night. It feels like it was just yesterday. And thought my world cramped down knowing I got a lot of damage in my body. I won't be able to draw again. My fingers were broken, at Kahit maayos ito gamit ang stainless na ipapalit sa mga butong hindi na talaga pwede ay hindi parin ako makakapagdesenyo ulit. My head isn't stable anymore, sometimes I got memory lost in a sudden. Mahigit isang oras, at babalik din naman ako sa normal. Madalas sasakit ang ulo ko, and the tragedy would haunt me again.

Even if I'm awake I'm still fighting my battle.

But, thanks to God. My family didn't left me. Mommy would cry along with my pain. Her words are my strength  and there love is my armour. They expect that I would have amnesia, but I did not. Siguro nga mas mabuti kung nagka amnesia nalang ako para hindi ko na naramdaman ang mga ito. But on the other side mas mabuti ring hindi na, magsisinungaling lang sila.

As days passes by, mas pinili ko ang maging positibo. Tinanggap ko ang mga bagay na natira sa akin. Mga bagay na mas ipagpapasalamat ko sa maykapal. Ang aking pangalawang buhay. Iyun ang pinakaimportante.

I will have my therapy schedule now. Bago ako ooperahan sa mga daliri ay dadaan muna sa therapy. Since nandito ang espesiyalista nito kaya nandito kami ni Rain. He got me all the way. He never leaves my side since the tragedy, he usually holds my hands until I fall asleep.

Hindi niya pinaramdam sa akin na may kulang sa akin, he even love me more each day. Hindi niya nakakaligtaan ang pagsasabi kung gaano niya ako ka mahal. Na Kahit pa didilat nalang ako ay ipagpapasalamat niya. He treasures every second of our lives, my life. He never let me doubt myself. He has the most largest patients in me.

We live in Singapore after I hospitalized. Noong una, kasama ko pa sina mommy at daddy. Until dad decide to go home after two months to apply his early retirement,and then mom followed him after six months. Kuya and ate Chicky are visiting me every now and then. He's parents also came to visit too.

His huge house there or his mansion we called has became our home. He hired a private nurse for me and a numbers of househelps. The bodyguards became our friends because it's too lonely kung kami lang noong umuwi na sila daddy. They trusted the doctors and hospital there that's why we stay. And for almost a year, I almost regain myself. Nakakapaglakad na akong muli at hindi na nawawalan ng alaala. Normal na muli ang liver ko at wala na ang mga matitinding sugat.

"Your thinking again." he hug me from the back. He sniff my neck.

I sigh. I should not think back the bad ones.

"I can't help it."

Pinagsalikop niya ang mga kamay namin. Napatingin ako doon.

"I love you..." he whispers.

Ganoon siya palage, kapag nag-iisip ako ng kung ano-ano ay binabara niya ito ng 'I love you'.

I chuckled softly.
