CHAPTER 22
CANCEL
"Where's that damn clock?" yamot na sambit ko habang kinakapa ang bedside table. I turned off the alarm and hazily opened my eyes but then I felt myself going back to sleep after only a few seconds.
Maya maya ay narinig kong may kumatok. "Ms. Cayanne Leigh, I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep but it's almost lunch time---"
Nag-panic ako kaya pagmulat ko ng mga mata ko ay umupo agad ako. Kaso natigilan ako dahil biglang sumakit ang ulo ko. Also I could feel body ache and what the f*ck? Sinisipon din ako?
"Lunch time?" Napatagal pala ang iglip ko. "Oliver, kuha mo nga 'ko ng thermometer please, parang nilalagnat yata ako." Tumango siya at nagmadaling lumabas.
UGH, NOT NOW! Sa lahat ng araw na magkakasakit ako, bakit ngayon pa?!
I reached for my phone and noticed a few missed call and messages from my friends. They're probably wondering why I'm missing in action when today's the Car Launch event organized by Senyor. I should be dressing up by now, having video calls with them while doing my make-up but no, I'm still in my pajamas.
Oliver was gone for I think almost thirty minutes. Hindi ko nagawang mag-complain at sumigaw dahil humiga ulit ako at pumikit. Nanghihina talaga ako. Wala akong lakas tumayo upang makalabas ng kwarto ko.
When he went back, I was startled to see our family doctor and a few maids behind him. They brought me fruits, soup, and water. May cold compress pa at air purifier.
Hay nako ito talagang butler namin, over qualified na maging employee of the year.
Chineck ako ni Doc at sinabi niyang normal flu lang daw ang sakit ko. I was relieved that it's not that serious.
"Siguro dahil naulanan po ko kagabi." I was so drenched from the rain.
"Take care of your health iha." Ngumiti siya at tumayo na. He prescribed me some medicine and asked Oliver to buy me those. It's always been like that since I was a kid. Sila na ang naguusap kapag may kailangan akong inumin na gamot.
"Hindi po talaga ako makaka-attend ng event ngayon?" pahabol ko, hoping he could give me something to make me feel better. Wala ba siyang magic medicine diyan na isang inom lang, wala na ang lagnat ko?
"I'm afraid you have to stay here. You need to rest and get as much sleep as you can. Baka lumala pag nabinat ka."
Ngumuso ako ngunit hindi na nakipagtalo pa. Ready na ang susuotin ko ngayong araw, si Mama pa ang pumili no'n. Nakakalungkot naman na hindi ko maisusuot iyon. Also, if I don't appear at the Car Launch today, people will not vote for me. Goodbye top 1.
Nagpasalamat na 'ko kay Doc at nag-message kila Mama. I informed her about my condition, baka kasi hindi masabi ng maayos ni Oliver, mag-alala pa sila.
She and Dad went to Japan this morning and will be back tomorrow. Quick business trip lang daw. My parents are known for being OA every time I get sick. Kulang na lang bilhan nila ako ng hospital o 'di kaya dalhin sa America para makasiguradong okay lang ako. Hilarious, I know.
