Chasing sunsets

Chapter 16- Not giving up

ELLA

"love, kain na" sambit ko

"A-ayoko ngang k-kumain!" singhal niya

napa buntong hininga naman ako

Right, kasama pala yung mood changes sa symptoms

"Okay, ilalagay ko lang to sa baba ha? I love you" sambit ko

Hindi na siya nagsalita kaya hinalikan ko ang ulo niya bago lumabas

"Oh, ayaw pa din niya anak?" tita asked

Umiiling naman ako

I felt Tito's hand on my shoulder

"Kakayanin anak ha?" He said

Napa ngiti naman ako

Nakita ko naman si Mafe na kumaripas ng baba

"Mama, Tay, si Ate jema po, Nag seizure nanaman" her voice was panicking

Agad agad kaming umakyat sa taas

I held her quickly

"L-love, andito na ako..C-calm down okay" I softly said

Naglagay ako ng soft na kumot sa may ulo niya

After 3 minutes, Her seizures had stopped

I waited for a couple of minutes hanggang sa maka tulog si Jema

I covered her body with blanket and kissed her forehead

"A-anak, baba lang kami ha" tita said

I guess, Umiiyak nanaman sila

I just nodded at them

"I love you. I may he selfish,but please don't go. Wag mo kaming iwan, I know you can fight this my love. Please, Labanan natin to ha" sambit ko

Natutulog lang si Jema

I got a text from Jia

Sabi niya the police are looking for me

Baliw na talaga si JV

And mukhang nalaman niya a may sakit si Jema

Kasalanan ko pa?

Oo, kasi naging pabaya akong girlfriend sakanya dati

Si Ate Jia na daw ang bahala na mag explain sa mga police

reresbak din daw sina alyssa at MG

Si tots, nasa states... Dun muna niya pinu pursue ang modelling niya

CONSTANTS

Jia:Ready na kayo?

Alyssa: Malapit na kami diyan, Si aldo na yung pinapa drive namin

Michele: Papa bangasan ko yan sa asawa ko, Akala niya Malaya siyang makakagawa nyan sa bestfriend namin

Kyla: Pwede kami ni Kuya Aldo? hehe kapal ng mukha ng lalaking yan! babaero pa

Jia: Tama na yan, calm down

Jia: Ella? kamusta na si Jema

Me: Hi, guys.

Alyssa: After namin dito, Pupuntahan ka namin ha?

Michele: magdadala rin tayo ng fruits and food Ly para kina tita at tito

Jia: Dadaan kami dyan ni Miguel mamaya. Dadalhin namin si Juan Miguel

Kyla: Yes pls, namiss ko na pamangkin ko

Alyssa: Namiss mong pa iyakin, kyla?HAHAHA

Kyla: Ang sarap kaya pa iyakin ate Ly 😆

Jia: Tumigil ka Kyla baka gusto mong ikaw pa iyakin ko

I just chuckled at their messages sa GC

"Ugh" Jema groaned at umupo

Nabitawan ko ang phone ko at tsaka saktong sinukahan ako ni Jema

Buti nalang may dala pa akong damit

"I-I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry" she softly said

I just smiled at her at pina higa siya ulit

"It's all good love...Just take a rest, Okay? mahal na mahal kita" I said and kissed her cheeks

Mabilis naman siyang maka tulog kaya napa ngiti ako

She's been handling it all alone

She never told anyone pala about her condition

Hindi ko pa nabasa yung letter na ibinigay niya

I'm not ready to read it

Baka it's her goodbye letter

I don't want her to go

I really wanted her to live long

I want to us to get married

May naisip naman ako

Agad akong bumaba sa kwarto

"I want us to get married po, tita, tito. Papayag po ba kayo?" I said

Napa tingin naman sila sakin

Mafe's eyes widened upon hearing what I've said

"I'll agree. Mahal na mahal ko Talaga ang anak namin, kahit na... Buhay niya ang naka taya" sambit ni tita

Napa ngiti naman ako

"T-thank you po, T-tita" I said

"Mama and tatay na, anak. Total, ikakasal na rin naman kayo ng anak ko, at para ka na rin naming pangatlong anak ni Fe." sabi naman ni tatay

I smiled and hugged them

I should tell mommy about this

Everything

Papakasalan ko si Jema
