When The Heart Fails (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 21

CHAPTER 21 | INTUITION

Love can ruin everything. Especially friendship.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling. I scanned my whole attention to a small room when my mom appeared.

"Thank God you're already awake!" My mom said with a very hopeful tone. I also saw my dad in the corner, talking to someone over the phone. On the other side of the bed are my two siblings.

Sinubukan kong gumalaw upang umupo ngunit pinigilan ako ni mommy. Pansin kong nakasuot pa rin ako ng hospital gown na akala mo'y may nangyari talagang masama sakin.

"Mom, I'm fine." agap ko kaagad. They're treating me like I'm literally ill.

"Fine? My goodness, Bea Trisha! You're asleep for two days!" praning na sagot ni mommy kaya nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"Two days?!" hindi ko makapaniwalang tanong. Hindi nga ako makatulog ng maayos tapos two days?!

"Stay at rest, Bea. Kakagising mo lang. Tinawagan ko na ang doctor mo para tignan ka ulit," si daddy na ngayon ay umupo na sa tabi ni Mommy.

"Bakit ba kasi ako walang malay ng dalawang araw?! So very overreacting," biro ko.

Hindi ako sinagot ni daddy ngunit hinawakan niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko. I haven't felt any pain but I suddenly remembered what happened before I collapsed. Shit. I was slapped!

"Mabuti naman at maayos na ang mukha mo. I can forgive that girl for now," dad said.

"I want your friend Mitch to get out of your life. Manang-mana sa nanay niyang eskandalosa," naiiritang sabi ni mommy kaya hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman.

I understand why Mitch acted that way. But she also need to understand us. It hurts me seeing her being like that. But I don't want to give her what actually mine from the very first place.

And if she can't understand us then I would do the same thing as well.

"Good thing Clark reported to us immediately. And why are you with that Saldivar?!" my mom can't believe.

I can't answer my mom because I'm not ready to tell her that Race is now my boyfriend. I can't even say that I already knew something about their past.

I talked to my siblings after the doctor finished checking on me. It turns out that I was stressed and my immune system is low so I suddenly fainted under the heat of the sun.

I can't help but to wonder where the lost child is. My mom is such a fool for love that she even agreed to ruin someone's life.

It's so funny how their love reached something far like that. Love can really create cruel things.
