She Left Again

Agad kumalabog ng hindi normal ang puso ko.  

"David!" Niyugyog ko ang katawan niya but no response. 

Ang kamay niya sa likod ko ay bumagsak na. Mas kinabahan ako lalo. Fuck is he d-dead? No.. No.. No..

Hindi ko namalayang tumulo na pala ang mga luha ko. I tried shaking his body again, calling out his name in hopes of him to wake the fuck up. But still no response. 

Napaigtad ako sa sunod-sunod na katok sa pinto. Nagpapanic na ako. I rest his body on the sofa to open the door. Pumasok agad sina Boris at isang lalaking may dalang medical bag. 

"H-he's not breathing, he's not breathing.." I sobbed.

The doctor immediately attended him. Hindi ko na alam ang sumunod pang nangyari dahil bumalot sa akin ang kadiliman nang makita ko ulit ang malaking hiwa sa gilid ng tiyan ni David. 

"How is she? The baby? Okay lang ba sila, Tri?" 

"Yes, both of them are safe. She just needs to rest and eat properly. Pansin ko pumayat siya from the last time I saw her."

"Yeah.."

"How are you two by the way? Did you make up?" 

I silently groaned. Damn my head is pounding! I slowly opened my eyes at ang bukas na balcony ang una kong nakita. Ang lakas ng hangin. The curtains flowed with wind.

Lumipat ang atensyon ko sa kabila nang lumubog ang kama. It was David, half-naked, with bandages around his waist and shoulder. Oh God, he's alive!

"Hey.." hinaplos niya ang mukha ko. 

I gripped his hand along my chin to confirm that I'm not hallucinating. Totoo siya. I'm not just seeing things. I immediately pulled him for a hug. He even groaned in pain but I didn't mind, malakas naman ang lokong 'to.

"Aray, Mia— Oh.." daing niya nang mas hinigpitan ko ang yakap. 

"Thank God you're alive," I sighed.
