Chapter 5
Nang magising ako ay nagulat ako nang nasa kwarto ko na ako nakahiga sa kama. The curtain was open so I was able to see that it's already morning... or afternoon?
How the hell did I get here?
The last time I was awake was... I was with Lucas in the car.
Mabilis akong napaupo sa kama, mabuti na lang ay maayos na ang pakiramdam ko. Nagulat na lang ako ng may malaglag na medyo basang bimpo galing sa noo ko.
Is my mother here?
"How are you feeling?" I heard a voice. His voice. Lucas' voice.
I looked in the direction where the voice came from. My startled eyes met his.
He was sitting on my study chair— it's a leather office chair na halos nasa tabi na ng kama ko.
"Better." I bit my lower lip, then I continued speaking. "Why are you here?"
"Your mom wasn't able to stay long last night, she's catching a flight. And... your sister came too, but she left after checking up on you. She messaged you... Umm yeah, she told me to tell you when you're awake."
Napatingin ako sa kamay ko na hawak-hawak niya. Mukhang napansin niya rin iyon kaya nagsalita siya.
"You were murmuring in your sleep, and whenever I would try to wake you up you would just reach for my hand and hold it like that."
I sighed then I slowly let go of his hand, "Sorry, sorry for the inconvenience." I apologized, "Have you slept?" I asked when I already knew the answer.
"Of course," he answered.
I rolled my eyes, "Liar." I said as I got up on the bed.
I was confused when he looked away.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" I asked.
"Y-your... uhh... just look in the mirror." His stuttering made me more confused. So I did. There's a body near my bed kaya tumingin ako doon.
Agad naman nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ko na wala pala akong bra. Puta. Bakit!? Mama, Ate!! Kung sino man sa inyo.
Malakas akong sumigaw dahil sa hiya at pumasok doon sa closet room ko. Puta. Gago. Ayoko na mabuhay. Nang matapos akong magbihis ng maayos ay sumigaw lang ako ng sumigaw dahil sa sobrang hiya. Alam ko naman na naririnig niya ako dahil nasa kwarto lang siya. Kanina ay kumakatok pa siya, nang hindi ko na marinig ang boses ay lumabas na ako sa closet room ko.
"Trust me, I didn't see anything."
Parang gusto ko magpalamon sa lupa ng marinig ko na naman ang boses niya.
