Chapter 23

Kwyn starting to open her left eyes just to assure where she was. And when her eyes wide open, the white wall and ceiling welcome her again. Nobody's are there with her. She noticed. She looked so sad that she even think about her brother and friends. She was hoping to see them but nothing would happen. There's nothing a person presence are there.

Bumangon sya, Isang hakbang pa lang niya sa sahig ay biglang sumulpot ang isang taong hinding hindi niya gustong makita sa mga oras na 'yun.

Napaawang ang labi niya. Nanginig sya sa takot na ipinukol nito sa kanya. But then she hide it. Hindi siya pweding magpaapekto. Ang desisyon nya ay mananatiling desisyon na dapat panindigan.

"You're sick and you didn't tell me about that?"

His voice is husky but still in scary tone.

"Why are you here?"

She asked instead. Not minding his last sentence.

"I came just to see you."

He said in low tone. Her eyes stared at his. And  he was worried, she could tell.

"I'm perfectly fine here so you don't have to go here just to see me."

She's actually in cold mode. She have to.

"Bakit.."

Aether started to cracked his voice. She looked away. Ayaw niyang makitang umiyak si Aether sa harap niya. Ang saktan ito ang pinakahuling gusto nyang gawin.

"Bakit kahit ang sakit na para sakin na mapunta ka sa iba eh mas gusto ko pa din na makita kang maayos. Na wala ang putanginang sakit na yan. Bakit inilihim mo ito sakin? Wala ba talaga akong karapatan alamin ang lahat tungkol sayo?"

His now speakingly as if he's in pain.

She was in pain too. But she have to endured it.

"Aether please. You can leave now."

She begged. Mas nasasaktan sya sa nakikitang emosyon dito.

"Yan, yan kana naman. Lagi mo na lang akong tinutulak palayo. Kahit na anong gawing lapit ko sayo, lagi mo pa ding kinakayang sabihin yan."

Napatingin na sya dito which she saw him in a teary eyed. Napailing sya. Ito na ba 'yung sinasabi niya.

"Kung ang pagtulak sayo palayo ang paraan para dika masaktan, gagawin ko. I don't want to see you in that teary eyed of yours. Gusto ko ako lang ang masaktan. Pag namatay nako mawawala na din 'yung sakit, mawawala na lahat ng burden ko----"

Aether cut her off because he kissed her. Thoroughly. Hindi alam ni Kwyn na kusang lumabas ang luha na kanina pa niya kinikimkim.

Ang sakit.

Sobrang ang sakit na wala siyang magagawa kundi tanggapin na ang kapalaran niya..

Kapalaran na mamamatay sya.

She was in full force to make him stopped kissing her kaya ng maghiwalay ang labi nila ay saka niya nakita ang luha na nasa pisngi ni Aether. Hindi niya napigilang punasan 'yun Gamit ang mga daliri.

"I hate to see you like this. Ayokong umiyak ka. Hindi ganito ang Aether na Kilala ko. The Aether I know is Jock. Always smiling and laughing. Making his friends annoyed in craziness. The Aether I'd know I will love forever." She confessed.

Aether cried and he just actually stared at her.
And listened.

"Damn you. Aether."

"I thought you would say I Love you because I love you so much, Kwyn."

Aether smiled but not just in genuine smile. He still sad.

"It's good to hear that you love me but don't be assume. Hindi ko matatakasan ang kamatayan ko. As you can see, Aether. I'm trying to hide my ill because you might hurt after I gone."

"Hindi ka mawawala sakin." Aether become serious.

"This is my destiny. nothing can change that. I feel so weak everyday."

"You love me don't you?"

She nodded.

"Then let me protect you from death. God lead me to love you more than myself, so I won't disappoint him that ill give up on you. I'll fight this. We'll fight this together just keep a promise to me."

Aether seriousness makes her encourage to live long.

"Promise are meant to be broken."

She stated.

In just a blink, Kwyn felt Aether lips on her forehead.

"Now that I know everything about you, pakakawalan pa ba kita? Mangako ka lang sakin na huwag akong iiwan then ill be happy."

"But i don't promising. Ayokong umasa ka. Masasaktan kita."

"Sshh. When I met you, pain is in actually my bestfriend now. So don't bother, I can tolerate my hurtness here."

He pointed his left chest then wink at her. She laugh by his reaction.

"Kanina lang umiyak ka, ngayon may pakindat ka ng nalalaman."

"I want to make you smile and you did the laugh."

"Talian mo ang buhok ko."

Pag iiba nya ng topic. She missed him. Ilang araw siyang tulog. Hanggang sa ngayon lang sya nagising na medyo Mahaba ang oras na gising na gising sya.

Aether nodded while smiling at her. That's what she want to see from him.

"You miss me that much? Gwapo talaga ako ano?"

"You again and again."

"Again of what?"

"Yang one hundred one Percent of your kahanginan. Seriously? Kailangan ba talaga banggitin mo yang kagwapuhan mo?"

"Ohh it's you again, tiger Kwyn."

"Anong tiger Kwyn ka dyan?"

"It's me who always reminding you that I'm handsome and you are you that I love you about it. yang pagtitigre ng tingin mo sakin ang unang umagaw ng atensyon ko. Alam mo ba 'yun?"

"Hindi ko alam tsk."

"Masyado kang masungit."

"Thank you."

"Masyado kang mapagpanggap."

"About that? I was in dare."

"Tsk. Fuck that Dare. Naisahan ako ni Czizea sa bagay na 'yun."

"You knew about that?"

"I already know everything."

"She told you?"

"She have to. Kung ayaw niyang tapos na ako."

"Anong tapos kana? What do you mean?"

"You don't know my real job. I'm sorry."

"Is it confidential?"

"Sort of."

"Then I shouldn't asked it."

"What if I told you that I killed someone. Would you accept me despite of my dark side?"

"No.."

Aether sad reaction appears.

"No ofcourse unless this someone you killed is also a criminal or maybe a bad person. So why would I put that reason in my mind not to accept you?"

"So you accept me."

"Kahit yang kabaliwan mo tanggap ko. I just wait you to confess that you love me."

"Dahil?"

"Mahal po kita, Jock my Aether."

And when she said it, her heart is in chaos. Imbes na hahalikan sya ni Aether ay bigla siyang nanghina. Apparently her heart is quickly approaching in weakening and she's out of her breathe. Huli na ng marinig niya ang pagtawag ni Aether sa pangalan niya bago sya nawalan ng Malay.
