Yesss, makakalabas na rin ako! One day in the hospital is like hell. I really hate that place. Kasi, dalawang klaseng tao lang naman meron sa hospital. It's either bagong buhay or bagong patay.
"Good morning, Daddy and Yanni"
It's 9:00 in the morning now, and I'm very happy because I slept well and I feel good today.
Dad told me that I can visit the Rancho today to get some fresh air.
"Good morning, Iha" said Dad.
"Good morning, Tine. Dito muna kayo ha? Sasagutin ko lang itong tawag" said Yanni.
Yanni prepared my things. Paano ba naman, kasi may mga stuff toys ako dito na dinala nila sa hospital, HAHAHA. Para daw hindi ko maramdaman na nasa hospital ako. Well, it kinda helped, but I still smell the medicine and hear the machine next to my bed.
"Tine, anong gusto mong gawin mamaya?" Yanni asked.
"Hmm, Yanni, pagluto mo ako ng favorite ko: the food that I cooked before, the Kare-Kareng Baboy."
I used to love that dish. Well, it's delicious and it's not too sweet or salty. The taste is just right.
"Oo naman, Tine. Pagluluto kita. Oo nga pala, tumawag sa bahay kahapon yung mga kaibigan mo. Mamaya daw pupunta sila" said Yanni.
Oh yeah, they said that yesterday when they visited. I forgot, HAHAHA. Sakto, magluluto si Yanni ng Kare-Kareng Baboy. Sakto, isha-share ko sa kanila later.
"Hmm, ano daw po mga oras sila pupunta?" I asked.
"Lunch time" said Yanni.
"Ah, sige po. Dad told me po na pwede akong mag-visit mamaya sa Rancho."
"Sige, sasamahan kita. Isama na rin natin yung mga kaibigan mo kung pwede sila" said Dad.
When Dad came back, we went downstairs. He signed some papers, probably hospital bills, and he had medicines again, as usual.
"Tine, after tayong maka-uwi, I will go to the company. May problema kasi" said Dad.
Problema? Halaaa, ano yunnn?
"What's the problem, Dad?" I asked.
"Uhmm, hindi naman malaki. May hindi lang pagkakaunawaan sa delivery. Don't think too much, mamaya maka-sama pa sa health mo" said Dad.
"Yeah, sure po, Dad. Take some rest rin po. Don't worry too much about me. Kaya ko po sarili ko, aside, nandyan naman po si Yanni" I said.
After 20 minutes, we arrived at the house. I went up to my room to wash myself. I smelled like a hospital, same as Dad. He took a shower and then left for the company while Yanni went to the kitchen to cook our lunch because it was already 10:30.
"Tine, alis na ako ha? Tawagan niyo ako no, Faye, pag may problema" said Dad.
"Yes, Daddy. Take care po and don't forget to have lunch. Love youuu"
I brushed my hair. I just finished taking a shower. This day, I wore a striped romper, past my knees, then I let my hair down and went downstairs.
"Tineeee!" Alizah shouted.
"Nandito na pala kayo. Sakto, maglulunch na" I said.
"How are you?" Lona asked.
"I'm good" I said.
"Anong ulam niyo, Tine?" Fajra asked.
"Kanina pa yang babaeng yan, gutom na daw" Alana said.
"Kare-Kareng Baboy, btw, pupunta kaming Rancho ngayon. Gusto niyo sumama?" I asked.
"Oo naman. Kami paba, right girls?" Alana said.
"Yeah, mamaya rin pupunta si Earn sa Rancho niyo. Kukuha ng vegetable supplies" Alizah said.
Earn's family is one of our partners in business. Remember, they were at Dad's party.
"Yownnn, sakto may moments mamaya sila Tine at Earn. Alam niyo na gurls, pag malapit na si Earn satin, layo tayo kay Tine" Lona said.
Lona told me last day na president daw siya sa fans club namin ni Earn, hahahaha. Ginawa pa kaming loveteam, hayss.
"Mga iha, tara kain na" said Yanni.
"Yownn, tara na girlss, gutom na talaga ako" Fajra said.
Minsan naguguluhan na rin ako kung si Fajra ba talaga yung nakatira dito eh.
"Yanni, join us po" I said.
"Oo nga po, tara na para masaya" Alizah said.
Then we had our lunch. Mga pasado 2:30, pumunta na kaming Rancho kasama si Yanni.
"Hiii Kuya Alex" I said.
"Oww, hello, Tine. Kumusta ka na? Nabalitaan namin nangyari sayo?" Kuya Alex asked.
"Maayos naman na po" I said.
"Tine, tara punta tayo doon mag pipicture tayo" Alana said.
"Sige, Yanni, punta lang kami doon ha" I said.
"Wait, manghihingi muna ako ng apple" Fajra said.
"Talaga nga naman" Lona said.
"Sige Tine, dito lang ako magkukwentuhan muna kami" Yanni said.
"Sige po, Yanni" I said.
After that, we left with Fajra carrying an apple. Ewan ko ba, hindi ata nabubusog itong babaeng ito.
"Tine, puntahan natin si Kylie" Lona said.
Before we went to see Kylie, syempre nag-picture picture muna kami. Last week kasi nag-redesign itong Rancho kaya maganda na ulit siya. Para na siyang Rancho sa ibang bansa, hahahaha. Sa kulay na gold and white.
"Tine, halika dito. Maganda view dito. Picturan kita" Alana said.
Then ayun, nagpa-picture na ako. Knowing Alana, makulit siya. Hindi ka niya titigilan hanggat hindi niya nakukuha gusto niya.
"Gurls, alam niyo ba?" Lona said.
"Well, apparently no, we're not" Fajra said.
"Halaaa, tarayy naman. Kumain lang ng apple, nag-English ka na" Alizah said.
"May magic ata apple nila Tine" Alana said.
"So, anong nangyari sa inyo ni Yuan?" Lona asked.
"Hala, ang galing manghuhula ka ba Tine? HAHA, pero kasi ganito yun. Since pinakilala siya sa akin ni Ate Zy sa island, remember, naging close na kami. Tapos last week lang niyaya niya akong mag jogging" Lona said.
Lona, Ate Zy, and Yuan are in the same subdivision, so they see each other even just a little.
"So, what's your relationship na?" I asked.
"Tine, well, ganon parin. Darating tayo diyan, puahhhh" Lona said.
I invited them to go horseback riding so we can have a tour and of course, I chose my Baby Kylie. They all got their own horses.
I was ahead of them and they followed when I noticed that something was wrong with Kylie.
And I was right. She suddenly went wild and ran really fast.
"Tineeee!"
They all shouted. I tried to calm down Kylie, but I failed.
"Tineee, kumapit ka sa kabayo!" Alizah said.
I followed what they said, but Kylie was too restless. I closed my eyes when I felt like I was about to fall.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Hella jump!"
Omo, si Earn, nandito na.
"Don't worry, I will catch you. Trust me" he said.
Then as he said, I jumped. I just surrendered my life to the Lord.
Yanni and Daddy, thank you for taking care of me. Alizah, thank you for the Korean dramas. Alana, thank you for the pictures. Lona and Fajra, thank you for making me laugh and for being such good friends.
"Hella, are you fine? May masakit ba sayo? Tell me!" he said.
When I opened my eyes, I was still alive. Thank God for another life and thank you to the angel who saved me.
Instead of answering, I just stared at him, like I was memorizing every part of his face. From his sharp nose, to his eyes that used to have no emotions, now I could clearly see that he was worried. His lips, are totally heart-shaped.
"Tineeee, ano buhay ka pa?" Fajra asked.
"Jusko, girl, akala ko ano na mangyayari sayo," Alana said.
"Thank God dumating si Earn. Wala naman kasi kaming alam sa mga kabayong ito eh. Sorry, hindi ka namin naligtas" Alizah said.
"Okay lang ako. Tsaka wala kayong kasalanan. We didn't expect it to happen naman" I said.
My friends took me to Yanni. My knee was just scratched, but nothing to worry about naman.
"Iha, ano bang nangyari?" Yanni asked.
"Nag-iikot po kami, then biglang nagwala si Kylie" I said.
"Halaa, dapat sinabi niyo sa akin, Tine. Kahapon pa kasi hindi maayos ang kondisyon ng kabayong iyan eh" Kuya Alex said.
"Huwag na po kayong mag-alala. Lahat maayos naman po ako" I said.
"Yung ulo mo, Tine. Ano masakit ba?" Yanni asked.
"No po, Yanni. Hindi naman po nasaktan yung head ko cause I always protect it naman po" I said.
"Ganon ba? Tara, magmeryenda muna kayo" Yanni said.
"Sige po. Susunod ako. May aayusin lang ako" I said.
"Sige, Tine. Sumunod ka ha? Gagamutin ko yang gasgas mo" Yanni said.
They left with my friends. They were supposed to go with me, but I insisted that I could manage and that they could join them with the food.
"Hella, are you sure you're fine?"
"Yes, okay lang talaga. By the way, thank you kanina ha" I said.
"You're always welcome" he said.
Then after that, we were silent. Now it was just the two of us under this tree.
"Hella, can I ask something?" he asked.
"Sure" I said.
"Uhmm, can we be friends?"
Wait, hindi pa ba kami friends nitong mokong na ito? Alam ko friends na kami eh, HAHAHA.
"Since pinakilala ka ni Alizah sa akin, friends na tayo" I said.
"Ayyy, so friends?" he asked.
"Kulit, HAHAHA. Oo, we're friends. Earn Ellio Trevor" I said.
"So, let's go. Punta na tayo doon. Maka-ubos na ni Fajra yung foods" I said.
Then we stood up. Earn walked ahead and I followed.
Here comes the beating of my heart again. It's getting faster. Jusko, I should have asked Dr. John about this yesterday.
