𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻-𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻,

I've heard the slow footsteps of my father approaching the door of my room. Suddenly, I heard knocks. Pinagbuksan ko siya ng pinto, I'm about to sleep.

"Magbihis ka, Emmaliza... we're going to the hospital" he said.

"Bakit Pa? May nangyari ba?" I asked, biglang kinabahan.

"Sa kotse ko na sayo sasabihin"

Habang nasa daan, tahimik lang kaming apat, si mama, si Erinoelle- my only sister, si papa at ako.

"Si Liam, naka confine" sabi ni mama, finally breaking the news. Biglang nanginig ang kamay ko.

"Bakit daw?" I asked, naiiyak na ko. "We will know when we get there, hindi pa rin sinasabi sa akin ni tita Irene mo kung bakit" papa said, ang tinutukoy ay ang mama mo.

We arrived at the hospital after 20 minutes of driving.

You're in room 507, tulog ka ng dumating kami, after almost a week na hindi tayo nagkita, tingin ko sayo'y bigla ang pagpayat mo.

I checked the time in my wristwatch, it's 11:11 pm, sabi nila when you checked and that's the time, then it's great to make a wish. I hold your hand, and make a wish na sana... gumaling ka agad.

I've never been this worried all my life, I kissed you on your nose, ang paborito kong part ng mukha mo.

Paglabas ko ng room mo to ask your mom why you're in a hospital, I overheard what your father said... he had said... you had Leukemia.

𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿,

I kept crying since that day I found out the truth, kaya pala... Kaya pala madalas kang absent no'ng highschool tayo having your regular check up... Kaya pala kahit magaling ka magbasketball di ka nagta-tryout para maging member ng school team, kaya pala, madali kang mapagod, kaya pala, lagi kang maraming pasa sa kung saan-saang part ng katawan mo.

I should have known, Liam... dapat sinabihan mo ako, ang daya mo, ang daya-daya mo... In between my sobs I kept saying those words.

Dahil siguro sa lakas ng iyak ko at ingay ko kaya nagising ka. "Hey, wag ka ngang umiyak, ang panget mo tuloy" pangbubuska mo pa.

"What can I do, eh ang daya mo kasi" I said... "Ako madaya? paano?"

"You never told me that you're sick" ngawa na naman ako. "Come here, hug me" sabi mo, sinunod ko naman. Nasa hospital ka pa rin no'n.

"You're like a flower that blooms in November" I just listen to your voice. "I've read a story about the girl na iyakin pero matapang, title no'ng book 'A flower that blooms in November'" You kissed my forehead.

"Alam ko matapang ka Em, kakayanin natin ito" you whispers on my ears. I just nod kahit hindi ako sigurado. Napuno na ng luha ko ang puting hospital gown na suot mo.

𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼-𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱,

"No- ayoko!" Tili ko habang buong giliw kang nirerecord ako sa video taped na hawak mo.

"Smile naman dyan Em, yhe camera is rolling" Saad mo pa.

Nasa bahay niyo tayo no'n, celebrating your 21'st birthday, 5 days na ang lumipas mula ng makalabas ka ng hospital. You look so thin and pale before, ngayon naman, sobrang lively at kulit mo.
