Just Too Sick To Function

16

Emma's POV

Mom texted me that she'll be here later, which is a great thing actually

I finished my painting today, it's a beautiful flower girl alone in a garden

Every new painting is my new favorite, although I don't really get the confidence to flex my works, I love 'em

I'm on my phone now, hindi ko pa rin pinansin ang mga messages ni Marcus

Pero sa totoo lang, pwede naman akong masasaktan dba? Feelings ko 'to

Pero past niya 'yon tapos nasaktan siya, hindi naman niya balikan ang nanakit sa kanya dba?

Pero hindi nga imposible, sa picture pa lang, ma fefeel mo talagang nagmamahalan silang dalawa noon.

Pumasok si Rosa sa room ko, dala-dala yung pagkain ko for lunch

"San galing mga snacks na yan?", she asked

"Kay Clent, he gave it to me yesterday, pwede naman ako nito dba?"

She just smiled and placed the plates beside my works

"May bagong estudyante dito sa floor niyo", sabi niya

"Oh...she or he?"

"Si Meryl Loe Padilla, kanina lang nag move in"

Linigpit ko ang mga gamit ko para kumain na ako

"Ahh...anong meron sa kanya?", I asked

"Cancer, galing siya sa ibang hospital. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sila nag change ng hospital. She's not really looking good out there"

I just smiled

"Nagbabakasakaling lang baka gusto mong makipag friends sa kanya"

I didn't looked at her, she knew the pain

"Honey..", she draw herself near me

"No, its okay Rosa, subukan ko", sabi ko

"Thanks ", ngumiti siya at lumabas sa room ko

Yeah, we are not getting better kaya minessage ko kaagad si Marcus

Ngunit offline

Convo: Marcus Valenzona

Emma: Wanna check on the new resident?

Nag online siya kaagad

Marcus: Saw her, marami siyang dala
: pero salamat ha, pinansin mo na ako, ano ba kasi ang nangyari

I sent him a rolling eyes emoji

Emma: wala, see you laters

I smiled as I turned off my phone

Namimiss ko nga si Marcus sa totoo lang, hindi rin naging madali sa'kin ang pag-iiwas sa kanya

Eh bat naman kasi iniiwasan ko siya

Hindi ko na talaga maintindihan sarili ko
-------------------------

Ang gwapo ni Marcus ngayon, nag suot siya ng isang grey beannie, white plain tshirt with black jacket and black shorts and his oxygen tube, holding his dextrose

"Hey"

Simple lang naman sa'kin, cute pink v-neck tshirt with black shorts

"Hey, good to see you again my friend", Marcus uttered

I rolled my eyes at him, "what?", he asked

"What room is she in?"

"325"
