Tamed Heart [Simon Marcos Fan-fiction]

Part 22

I was about to speak but I got interrupted by the ring of my phone.

Napaiwas ng tingin si Simon.

"Excuse me, I'll just take this call." I said bago ako lumayo ng konti sakaniya.

It was my sister. Nagtaka ako kung bakit siya tatawag ng ganitong oras, hindi naman siya yong tipo ng kapatid na bumabati saakin ng Happy New Year sa tawag.

"Hello?" I said as I answered her call.

"Ate!" Sigaw niya kaya naman inilayo ko agad ang cellphone ko saaking tainga.

"Bakit?" I asked.

There was a long silence on the other line bago ulit siya ng salita. This time, her voice was hoarse na halos hindi makapagsalita sa pagkapaos. I can even hear her sobbing and she's struggling to speak a word.

"A-ate."

I feel it something's not right. Bigla akong kinabahan.

"Hoy, Celeste! Anong nangyayari?" Maagap kong tanong.

"S-si—" She's trying to utter a word but I can't understand it. Nanginginig ang boses niya at nauunahan ng iyak.

"WHAT HAPPENED CELESTE!" Sigaw ko.

"S-si M-mama..." She slowly said as if she's trying to calm her self.

Hearing what she said, biglang nanghina ang aking tuhod at biglang natumba.

"Bakit? Anong nangyari kay mama! Celeste answer me!"

Mula sa ilang patak ng luha ay bigla nalang itong bumuhos ng walang tigil nang marinig ko ang huling sinabi ni Celeste mula sa kabilang linya.

"Itinakbo namin siya sa Hospital, ate!"

Hawak ko ang cellphone ko habang hindi ko macontrol ang panginginig ng kamay ko.

"Celine, what happened?" Tanong ni Si sa tabi ko. His eyes are full of worries.

"I-I need to go Si, s-sorry." Sinubukan kong tumayo pero hindi kaya ng katawan ko kaya naman natumba ako, luckily Si caught me.

"Ce, tell me what happened!" Tanong niya kaya humarap ako sakaniya habang nag pupunas ng luha.

"Simon, si mama. Nasa Hospital. I don't know what to do, I don't even know what's happening." I said frankly.

"Let's go to the Hospital, Ce." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at marahang ginuyod.

Mom, what happened?
