Expect the Unexpected

Eighteenth Expectation

JAIRA'S P.O.V:

Sakit. Sa sobrang sakit, namamanhid na ang katawan ko. The last thing I knew was, my head hit the floor hard. I can feel my body being lifted up.

Few moments later, I hear people. What is happening? Andaming tao. Pero isa lang ang nagbigay ng clue kung nasaan ako. Ang tunog ng makinang yun. Nasa ospital ako. Pero bakit ganito? Feeling ko anytime, bibitaw na ako. Slowly . . . . Oblivion took me.

I can't move my body. Too tired to open my eyes. What is happenning?

"She'll wake up soon, Keith, right?" Harley, her voice is weak. "Yes. For now, we need to go home." he replied. "Sino maiiwan sa kanya? We can't just leave her." Trina said. My friends. My family. "Ako na. Ako na ang bahala." Xeb suggested. "But . . ."I can feel Verone's anxiety. "Please?" Oh, my dear Xeb. Ung lungkot sa boses nila.

I heard a sigh. Then the closing of the door. Is someone right here beside me? I'm scared.

"Jaira. I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry." he choked. Umiiyak sya. No, Xeb. Don't. "I'm sorry, baby. I love you. Please, don't leave me, us." of course I won't. Argh! I need to open my eyes but I can't . . . Oh no . . . Oblivion is back . . . Darkness . . . Too much darkness . . . Then I'm out.

XEB'S P.O.V:

Thre days had passed, but she isn't waking up. Sabi ng doctor, we should wait, but how long will we be waiting? I held her hand, it was so cold. What have I done? "Jaira, Jaira, Jaira. My sweet Jaira, when will you be awake?" Pinilig ko ung ulo ko at yumuko saka umiyak.

"How about now, Xeb?" I jerked my head up and saw her smiling to me. Too gay, but my tears stream down my face. "Oh good God, thank you. How are you feeling, baby?" I pressed the button and called a nurse and examined her. She laughs but suddenly stops. Pain radiates on her. "Don't make me laugh, jerk. Where are they?" She asked. The nurse bursts in. "Welcome back, Ms. San Felipe. Do you know where you are? How are you feeling?" Nurse Sandra asked. "Yes. Hospital. Thirsty and kind of sore." The nurse nodded and left. To call the doctor, I think. "I'll call them." I grab my phone and punched Harley's number.

"She's awake." I hang up and got on Jaira's side as the doctor enters and examine her. I can't keep myself from smiling, she's back.
