Chapter 6: Chapter 5
Napaayos ako ng upo nang pumasok si Doc Kleah na nakangiti sa'kin. "You can be discharged at 7 PM, Sky," aniya habang tinantanggal na 'yong dextrose ko. "Actually, you no longer need to be admitted, you just need to take a rest. It's just your twin was so worried and he said he wants you to be admitted," dagdag niya na pinasidahan ng tingin si Sun na nagkukunwaring walang naririnig.
"As usual, Doc Kleah," sagot ko naman habang nakangiti. "Anyway, thank you, but please do keep this from my parents," nagmamakaawa talaga ako this time. Doc Kleah is very closed to my Mom, they're friends, mamaya baka ikwento niya 'to, yari talaga kaming dalawa ni Sun.
"Alright, Sky, but promise me that this will be the last," halata talaga sa boses niya na parang nagbibigay na siya ng warning.
"I...I don't do promises, but I'll try my best, Doc," sagot ko at napailing siya agad.
"What can I expect from you, Sky? But fine, I'm gonna keep this one, but if your condition is severe, then your parents really need to know about it, okay?" bahagya niyang ginulo 'yong buhok at tumango naman ako bilang sagot. "I'll leave you now. Don't ever forget my reminders, Sky. And you, Sun," hindi pa rin kumikibo si Sun at nagkukunwari pa ring busy sa cellphone niya, "you can now stop your drama. See you around, Boys," the last words she said before she finally went out of this room.
Sun already went back to himself and started preparing our things. And I just can't help but to smile. My twin is the most caring of all! I'm so blessed having him. "Anyway, I told Mom that we're in Zachy's place," aniya kaya agad akong napangiti. Zachy's our cousin, at siya 'yong ginagawa naming palusot kapag nasa ospital ako.
"Thank you, Bro," nakangiti kong sabi at bahagya niyang tinapik 'yong likuran ko nang maupo siya sa tabi ko.
"Don't mention it, Twin, sino pa bang magtutulungan, 'di ba?" tanong niya kaya tumango ako na talagang bakas sa mukha ang tuwa.
Kapag isa sa'min ang nawala ay literal talaga akong mababaliw.
"Oh, Veia's calling," he said as he handed me my phone. Finally! I thought she's not gonna ask about my situation!
"Hello?" I said as I hit the answer button.
"Sky? You okay now?" rinig na rinig ko talaga 'yong pag-aalala niya sa kabilang linya at hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam.
"Yes, I'm fine now. Bat ngayon ka lang tumawag?" tanong ko at nagkunwari akong nalulungkot. Si Sun naman ay parang walang pake, busy siya sa paglalagay ng mga balat ng prutas sa basurahan.
"Kinuha ni Mama 'yong cell phone ko. Nagalit kasi siya kay Kuya at alam mo na, damay-damay na ang lahat. Magagalit sa isa, magagalit sa lahat," sagot niya at agad akong napangisi. Si Tita Isabel talaga.
"Buti na lang ibinalik na niya," because I already missed your voice. I let out a sigh. I thought I'm now in the stage of moving on, but I can't force myself. If I like her still, then I like her. Tss.
"Buti nga, kasi kung hindi mababaliw ako kakaisip dito kung kumusta ka na," If she's here I'm probably hugging her now. I can really feel her sincerity and that she's concerned of me. Gusto ko sanang kiligin kung hindi ko lang siya best friend. Isang buntong-hininga na naman!
We talked a lot. And of course, hindi nawala ang pagtulak na naman niya sa'kin kay Hillary when she remembered that she's the one who informed them that I passed out. Veia and my twin are so alike! Tsk!
And speaking of Hillary, I no longer give her a response. I am planning to talk to her tomorrow, even if she doesn't want to.
At 7:30 PM we went home already. My parents are in their office and we're sort of sad about it. When we got home, we always converse with them even just for a short period of time, it is somehow our bonding.
But, since they're not around, then we just decided to go to our room. I and Sun still share the same room, but different beds. Gusto nila Mommy na magkaroon na kami ng kanya-kanyang room, but we don't want to. We want to be together, always, but I know there's gonna be an end for this. Time will come, we'll be separated, lalo na kapag nag-asawa na kami, but we won't ever forget each other. We're twins and that will be forever.
"Our birthday's nearer, Sky, we're turning 18, do you have any plan for that day?" biglang usal ni Sun na kasalukuyang nakahiga na sa kama niya.
I shrugged, then I lay in bed, too. Yes, we're just 17, not yet in the legal age, but I am already admitted for numerous time and our parents don't know anything about it. Mabuti na lang talaga at may koneksyon kami sa hospital and at the same time we got our own money to pay for the hospital bill. We're not dependent, we're being reticent.
"It depends if Mom wants to have a celebration, but if you were to ask me, I'd love to spend that day altogether, with Dad," sagot ko makalipas ang ilang minuto. Last birthday namin wala siya, pang-apat na 'yon. He's busy on his prior commitments and we couldn't complain, he's doing it for the whole family.
"Right, I'd love that to happen, too," nakangiting sabi ni Sun at natuwa naman ako ro'n. "But, Sky, I missed Tatay already," lahat naman siguro kami namimiss na siya, "why don't we visit him tomorrow?" suhestyon niya na agad kong sinang-ayonan.
"I'm fine with it and I'm planning to bring Veia with us," napatingin siya sa'kin na para bang tinatanong na are-you-dead-serious? "I'm ready to tell her everything, Sun," sabi ko at tumango lang siya saka umayos na sa pagkakahiga.
"I know she'll understand," aniya at ako naman 'yong napatango. She'll surely understand, of course.
We're both placed in silence after that conversation. We then killed the time by reading books until we get tired and decided to date our bed.
