Constellation of Love Season 1 (Completed)

Chapter 23

"Ano lulutuin ko?" tanong ko while playing with my cards.

"Anything..." she mumbles.

Nakahiga lang ito sa sofa, playing with her fingers unknowingly.

Maya-maya, may nag doorbell and she just lay down there hanggang sa may mag bukas ng pinto.

"Rus!"

It's Rigel.

"What is it?" she said in boredom.

"Uy, okay ka lang? Did he hurt you? That fucker— oh, Leon. Nandito ka pala." Bati ni Rigel and he taps my shoulder.

Nakita ko na may inabot si Rigel sa akin.

"Leon, Can I talk to you for a moment?"
tanong ni Rigel at tumango lang ako.

Lumabas muna kami ni Rigel and he gave a one bottle of pills, I guess.

"What's this?" I asked in curious tone.

"I guessed you already noticed it, kapag natutulog ang kapatid ko. Mukhang alam mo na din na may insomnia siya." he said seriously and sighs.

Napaisip ako bigla and yeah, pansin na pansin ko nga sa tuwing natutulog siya. Sweating bullets, crying, panting, sleep talking and so on.

"Yeah, why?" tanong ko ulit.

"That's the pill AJ gave me earlier, and I'm passing it on to you in case you need it, dahil ikaw lagi ang kasama niya." he said while he's looking at the pill.

"May Nightmare Disorder si Rus. Takot siyang makatulog... She is frightened of falling asleep since her dreams are haunting her every time she does." Dagdag niya.

"Well, in short and medically speaking, may PTSD ang kapatid ko."

Nightmare Disorder? That even exists?

Kaya pala siguro nawalan siya nang malay kanina... Now I get it.

"Hindi siya aware pero mukhang may ideya na siya or what, malay ko lang kung sinabi ni AJ o hindi." Napakamot siya sa ulo niya.

"May nangyari ba sa kanya kaya siya may trauma? Kasi gabi-gabi ay ganyan siya o kaya sumasakit ang ulo niya kapag ginising ko siya nang sapilitan." I bluntly asked him again and he just laugh lowly.

"Sadly, yes. It was a very traumatic event, pati ako ay kasama pero hindi ako katulad ni Mirus."

"Sorry for asking you a favor. I can't look after her dahil busy ako, same kila Miahri. You're the only one I trust, Leon." And he gently smiles just to reassured me.

"No, it's alright." I said in low voice.

"Ipainom mo sa kanya iyan kapag nagising siya dahil aatakihin siya ng migraine once it triggers. If possible, look after her. Pero... Depende sa 'yo."

Tumango lang ako sa kanya at tinignan ko ulit ang gamot.

Nag paalam na siya dahil isang oras lang daw ang break time niya. Pinasok ko sa bulsa ang pills at tuluyan na akong pumasok sa Penthouse niya.

"I'll sleep here." I said na kinagulat naman ni Mirus na nakahiga sa sofa.

"Eh? Why?" She tilted her head.

Hindi ko siya pinsansin at dumeretso na lang ako sa kusina.

After thirty minutes, we're quietly eating habang siya ay may tinitignan sa laptop niya.
