"Ano? Ayah! Sagutin mo ako!" My voice starts to shake..

"Ate.." She covered her mouth.. "S-sorry.."

"B-bakit? Bakit hindi niyo agad sinabi? Gusto kong malaman.. Pero hindi mo sinabi? Niyo!" Mangiyak-ngiyak kong sabi..

"Ate, sorry.."

She cried.. Chase is just silent.. "Kailan pa?" I sobbed..

"Kahapon l-lang.. Ngayon kang kami tinawagan.. Na.. Nahuli na daw.."

"Sino?" I asked still crying..

"H-hindi ko kilala ate, pero siya daw.."

"Gusto kong malaman!" I shouted.

"Not now ate please.." She begged..

"Gusto ko ngang malaman!" I shouted again..

"Ate, kumalma ka muna.."

"Paano ako kakalma!"

Their eyes widened nang makita yung ginawa ko.. "Oh my gosh.." She covered her mouth..

Tinanggal ko yung suwero ko, tumulo yung dugo galing sa kamay ko.. Tumayo ako, kaya bigla akong natumba..

"Ate, please.." She begged..

Lumapit si Chase para alalayan akong tumayo pero sinanggi ko 'yon.. "Don't touch me!"

He stepped backwards and left the room.. "Ate, hindi ko nga kilala! Makinig ka naman!" She shouted..

I cried and put my head down.. "I-i'm sorry.." I cried even more, I was so dumb.. Pinilit ko siyang sabihin pero--- Ugh!

Pagkatingala ko may pumasok na nurse na may dalang injection.. Inalalayan na ako ni Chase na tumayo, kaya sumunod na ako.. Pinaupo niya ako sa kama..

When the needle is near to my skin bigla akong umiwas.. "I-i don't want that.." I said to the nurse..

"Pero ma'am kailangan niyo ito.." She said..

"I don't want.." Umiling ako..

"Nurse, s-she's afraid of needles.." Ayah said..

Oh, right! I almost forgot.. I have Trypanophobia, people who is afraid of needles..

"She can just take pills na lang po.." The nurse said..

"Pills is fine.." Ayah said..

"What's that ba?" I asked kung ano yung gamot na nilagay nila sa injection..

"Benzodiazepines po, yung---"

"I can calm my self.." I cut her words, I already know that benzodiazepines is a calming drug..

The nurse nodded.. "Okay po.." Kinuha niya yung swero sa sahig..

Tton! It's also a needle.. The nurse puts her gloves at kinuha yung kamay ko, nakalimutan niya ba na takot ako sa karayom?

Magsasalita sana si Ayah but my eyes widened when someone grabbed my face.. "Look at me.." Chase said, I was facing him, I'm looking straight to his brown almond shaped eyes, my face heated..

"Tapos na po.." The the nurse leaves..

He released my face at napatingin sa kamay ko.. Omg! Nakabit na! Bakit wala akong naramdamang sakit? I looked at Chase again with widened eyes.. When he sees my reaction he smirked..

"Just sleep.."

My body froze, bakit kaya hindi ko naramdaman yung sakit? Manhid na ba ako? Omg! I'm so crazy!

"Ate, pahinga ka na.. Sa labas muna kami.." Lumapit si Ayah..

I'm starting to tear up again.. "Ayah, I'm sorry.." I smiled and hugged her, saka ko siya binitawan..

"May balak ka bang tignan kung sino yung--"

"I don't want.." Umiling ako "Basta mabubulok siya sa kulungan.."

She nodded saka lumabas, sumunod den si Chase.. Nahiga na ako sa bed ko, nakipagtitigan ako sa kisame.. Paano kaya yung grades ko? Ilang weeks na kaya akong absent? Graduating pa naman ako..

Natulog na lang ako, I just don't want to overthink today..

One week passed by I was discharge sa hospital.. Nang makalabas, I inhaled a fresh air and let it out..

"Let's go?" Chase asked, I nodded..

Ayah wasn't here because she was doing her homework.. Kapag weekends lang siya pumupunta pero kung may important things to do nasa bahay lang siya at si Chase yung nagbabantay sa akin..

Sumakay na ako sa front seat at nag seat belt, hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog pala ako.. Pagkapasok ko sa bahay namin sinalubong ako ni Ayah..

"Welcome home!" She said..

"Hoy! Hindi ako nag-abroad!" I rolled my eyes..

"Mauuna na ako.." Chase said..

"Ay! Dito ka muna! Pinaglutuan ko kayo ng pagkain!" Ayah shouted..

"You can cook?" I asked.. "Alam ko nasusunog mo lagi yung nilu--" She covered my mouth..

"Wag ka nang maingay.." She whispered at me while smiling.. "Sasakalin-- Aray!" I bit her hand.. "Masakit yun ah!"

Chase chuckled "Where is it?" He asked..

"Seryoso ka?" I asked back.. "Hindi naman marunong magluto yan eh!" I rolled my eyes..

"Then who?" He asked..

"Siya!" Tinuro ako ni Ayah with her five fingers..

"You will cook then.." He said..

"Aba!" Pagtataray ko.. "Kakagaling ko lang hosp--"

"Dali! Carbonara gusto ko!" Tinulak ako ni Ayah sa kusina, saka siya pumuntang sala..

I prepare the foods and things na dapat lutuin.. First nagpakulo muna ako ng tubig saka ko nilagay yung pasta, habang hinihintay kong kumulo I cut some ham and mushrooms.. Gumawa na din ako ng sauce, I wait more minutes para maluto yung pasta. Hinalo ko na yung sauce, ham, mushrooms, and meat, siyempre luto na yon..

Nilagay ko na den sa plate saka sinerve sa kanila, Chase smelled the aroma of my carbonara.. "Smells good.."

"Galing niya magluto noh?" Ayah looked at Chase saka niya siniko.. "Puwede na mag-asawa.." Ayah raised her eyebrows up and down..

"You mean, puwede ko na maging asawa?" Chase said while looking at me..
