My Hopeless Wish (COMPLETED)

17

I was 17
While he's 20

When my mother left me because of her breasts cancer. He's always there to comfort me, even it's worse.

-

I was busy reading something in the library when my phone suddenly rangs.

Naririnig kona agad ang maingay na heels ni Ms. Marquez. Naiimagine ko narin ang mukha niyang nagusot ng dahil sa akin.

Napapikit na lamang ako at hinintay ang sermon niya.

"Ms. Angeles you deeply know that phones are strictly banned in the library!"

Ramdam ko ang titig ng lahat. Naiinis narin ako sa patuloy na pag-ring ng cellphone ko.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Ms. Marquez.

"Ms. may I leave the library?"

"Sure!" Pasigaw nitong sagot.

I grabbed the books and my backpack. I run towards the library's door and answer the call. It was dad.

"Misheal, at the hospital now."

I didn't say a word and just run as fast as I could.

Halos hindi na'ko makalanghap ng sapat ng hangin kakatakbo. I left my backpack with the school guard and the books. I only have my cellphone with me. Wala akong pambayad ng masasakyan ko.

I'm so dumb.

Sa sobrang pagod ko ay diko na kinaya at bigla nalang napa-upo sa kalsada. Malayo pa ang hospital at wala akong load para matawagan ang driver namin.

Tatayo na ulit ako nang businahan ako ng kung sino. When I turn, I saw Vlademier inside his car. Lumabas siya at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto. I entered the car without a question.

He started the engine and drove away.

"I know what happened. Tito Mario told me to drive you there." I didn't replied and just close my eyes to take a rest after the long run.

Di ko na hinintay si Vlad na makababa ng kotse at agad na tumakbo sa elevator. I know where my Mom's room in this hospital. My Dad bought a room here for us when we got sick.

I entered the room and saw Mommy lying on the hospital bed. I run towards her and hugged her tight.

"Aw baby. You have your class right? Your dad was the one to blame I guess?" My Mom was trying her very best to sound fine .

Nilingon nito si Papa na biglang nasamid sa kape niya. Kasabay naman no'n ang pag-katok ng kung sino sa may pinto.

"Pasok!" si Papa.

I saw Vlademier holding four boxes of styros. Lumapit ako sa kaniya at tinulungan sa pag-bubuhat.

He said good afternoon to Mom and Dad before he told us about the diet meal for Mom and the food he ordered for us three.

"Vlad sorry about this afternoon."

I said while he's driving me home. Actually, Dad asked him to sleep with me at the house for a week.

Ganoon kalaki ang tiwala ni Daddy kay Vlad.

Wala kasing mag-babantay kay Mommy kung aalis si Dad para umuwi at bantayan naman ako.

"It's fine. Okay lang sa'kin na matulog pansamantala sa inyo. Mas mapapanatag din ako kung alam kong safe ka."

"No it's not that. Sorry for being rude this afternoon. Hindi na kita hinintay bago umakyat tapos di pa kita kinakausap kanina sa may kotse. I'm sorry." I said in a low voice.
