(A teaser)

"Bilisan mo pumunta dito! Iñigo, you need to witness someting!"

Call ended...*toot* *toot* *toot*

'To witness something?'

-13-

Iñigo's PoV

"Iñigo you are going to date the daughter of my business partner." No way!

"Dad, you can't control me to date someone rather to love someone. For my entire life you are the one who drove my life, you manipulated me. But Dad, can you please leave this to me, pwede bang kahit sa ganitong desisyon eh ako naman ang masunod?" It's true, he always thought me what should be my next move, for all this years sinunod ko siya. Tss...I don't want to accept this!

"Kahit kelan bastos ka talaga 'no?!" He's always like that, lagi na lang bastos ang tingin niya sa'kin!

"Mom, I'm done eating." I said then I left them in the dinig area.

Lumabas ako ng bahay at pumunta ng garden. Kinuwa ko ng kwintas ko na may pendant na singsing.

"Kei, this ring was my birthday gift for your past debut. I'm hoping that someday you'll wear this." I kissed the ring and looked up above thae moon.

The moon shines so bright this time. I'm just wondering if you did the same thing. Sana Kei nakatingin ka rin sa buwan at inaalala ang mga moment na mayroon tayo. I didn't exist on your world and the same thing to me.

Biglang sumakit ang dibdib ko at di ako makahinga, this can't be happening.

'Your condition was getting worse. You should keep yourself away from the negative thoughts and vibes. Make your self happy. Do what your heart's like. Stay away from the thing theat gives you emotional pain. If you didn't consider my advice...di na ako magugulat na one day dadalhin ka dito sa hospital na nirerevive na at soon wala ng buhay.'

Naalala ko bigla ng sinabi ni Doc Frello. Then suddenly the darkness ate my vision.

-------

"Where am I?" I asked, from my uniform I'm now wearing a hospital dress.

"Good thing son gising ka na." I looked at my right side then I saw my Mom.

"What happened Mom, why I am here?" I asked then I looked around. Confirm I'm at the hospital.

"It's 2 days since you passed out." Shit! Sana di sinabi slni Doc Frello ang totoo. "Over fatigue ka raw. Son you need to rest kahit man lang isang araw. Masyado mong itinutuon ang oras mo sa school works mo."

'Doc Frello, If something happen to me, don't tell my parents about my real condition. I don't want to make them worry.'

Thank you! Nakinig si Doc Frello sa favor ko. I'm lucky to have him as my cardiologist.

"Your Dad also told his business partner na icancel ang date niyo ng anak nung business partner niya." I felt relieved when my Mom told me that good news.

"And this anak, you left this on our garden." Inabot sa'kin ni Mom ang isang singsing. A ring for Kei. I grabbed it at muling nilagay sa kwintas ko. "This is your medicine that Doc Frello gave to me. Mamaya inumin mo ha." Nilagay ni Mom ng isang tablet ng gamot sa lamesa di kalayuan sa bed ko.

"Stay here ha...babayaran ko lang ang hospital fee." Lumabas na si Mom at muli kong pinikit ang mata ko habang hawak hawak ko ang singsing.

"Mae! Lee! Pasok kayo andun siya nagpapahinga."

"Sige po tita."

Napamulat ako ng marinig ang pangalan ng dalawang importateng tao.

"Bro!!!" Bati ni Lee.

"Kamusta na lagay mo Iñigo?" Mae seems cold this time. "Alam na namin na my heart failure ka. Sinabi sa'min ni Doc Frello. Sana alam na'to ng parents mo." Malamig pa rin siyang nagsasalita. Wala nga naman talagang lihim na di nabubunyag.

"mmm..." tumango lang ko at nagaabang ng sasabihin niya.

"Kaya dapat maging masaya ka lagi ha! Kokotongan kita pag may nangyari sayo!" Then she smile to me.

"And bro, bilisan mo magpagaling ha alam mo naman Mae's bday is coming." Singit ni Lee mula sa likod ni Mae.

"Ofcourse!" I said and have my genuine smile.

"Oh inomin mo na'to." Inabot sa'kin ni Mae isng basong tubig at gamot.

It's been two days since ma discharge ako sa hospital and good thing I'm much better now. Maybe it is because of my continuous medication. Tomorrow will be saturday and that day will be preparation for Mae's Party, all of her classmate was invited even yung mga classmate namin nung high school, pupunta rin daw ang family ni Lee. I don't manage to tell my family about it coz they will only control me, especially my Dad.

I headed to my room, lumipat na ng course si Shenna at di na niya ako binabagabag simula nung last kaming nagkita. Dalawang araw akong absent kaya nandito ako sa library para tapusin ang mga activites and paper works...isa lang ang library ng college at high school kaya kailangan magtiis sa mga nakikitang naglalampungan na mga in a relationship.

"Ms. Mendel do you have a book about this." Then I lend my notebook to the librarian para iconfirm kung meron bang ganitong book. Tinuro niya sa'kin ang way at dinala ako nito sa bookshelf na punong puno ng law books.

"What's wrong here? both of you were making noise...I know that both of you knew that this is a library!" Napalingon ako sa sigaw ng librarian at mukhang may sesermonan nanaman siyang estudyante.

"Ahhh...nothing Ms. Mendel, I just have a little misunderstanding with my boyfriend, sorry that we argue here." Tsk...as what I've told you may mga mahilig talaga maglampungan dito. It's library but I think sooner it will be call dating place.

Di ko na pinansin ang dalawang eatudyante at nagbasa na lang ako at sinagutan ang mga paperworks na natambak sa'kin. Considered naman daw akong excuse dahil sa nangyari.

Mabilis natapos ang araw at naipasa ko naman ng dapat ipasa ginabi nga lang ako. Umuwi agad ako ng condo ko nagpahinga. I need to rest for the preparation. I think it will be some sort of fun.

My phone rang pero bigla ring nawala.

Missed call from 09*********/Unknown number.

Siguro na wrong number. Then suddenly nakatulog na pala ako.
