Chapter 44: Unbearable

[EXELLOR ONEIRO'S POV]

“D-Dalin n-na n-natin siya s-sa o-ospital, J-Jay. A-Ang t-tagal n-niya m-magising o-oh!”

“Hindi na hija. Magagalit iyon pag nalamang dinala siya sa ospital. Tsaka napagod lamang siguro siya...”

“Yeah, I'm sure she's fine, Ky. She will be fine.”

“But her knuckles would need medical attention. An exposed wound is at risk of infection, Jay.”

I can conclude that my conciousness was already back, even if there was only darkness. Hearing the small voices of multiple people, I tried moving any muscle from my body that I could do. Luckily, I could feel that I have hands and fingers.

“Oh my god! Gumalaw siya! Gumalaw siya!! Buhay siya!!”

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa amang nasa itaas!”

Then, slowly, my hand went to my face. I can still feel it, making sure that this isn't a dream. When I opened my eyes, I could see blurry faces. I blinked once. I blinked twice. Details started showing. Four pairs of eyes show up. Just then, the color became vivid. I could see crystal clear now.

I'm on my bed, as Jayvee, Rhianne, Kylie and Don Kael surround me. All had surprised and concerned looks.

“Bruh, ilan 'to?!”  Kylie quickly asked, showing a hand with two fingers standing.

“D-Dio?” I answer unconciously. [translation: t-two?]

“ANO?”

“Dio m-means two.” I heard Don Kael whisper to her.

“TALAGANG BUHAY KA NA!” she annouced, and gave me a tight hug.

“Buti naman nagising ka. Nag-alala kami sa'yo...” Jayvee flashed a really concerned look at his face, beside Rhianne who just gave me a sincere smile.

I remember everything. They were fresh memories. Unknown to me if they'll haunt me or not. Trevor leaving me wasn't a good view. My father in the hospital isn't even good either.

“How long was I asleep?” I asked them.

“2 hours.” Jayvee answered for me.

“Tinawagan kita kasi may tatanong ako doon sa program na assignment natin pero gulat ako ng biglang papuntahin kami rito ni M-Mr. Torrejos. G-Grabi yung i-yak mo kanina. Ano ba kasi nangyari?” Kylie asked, touching my hand, which are bandaged, stained with some blood.

“A lot–”

“Trev isn't answering the phone too. Natawagan ko si Greg about it, and he told me that he's... not in the mood to talk. Nag-away ba kayo?” Jayvee butts in with a question.

I had no other choice, but to tell everything that happened. Well, except for somethings. I didn't fill out some details that mostlikely involved Paul's father, Timothy.

“Grabi ka! Next time kung gusto mo manuntok, sabihin mo, sali kita UFC! Sobra! Alam mo iyon! Oo nga pala, pinapunta na namin sina Jamiel and Chris kanina para malaman nila yung nangyari! Kaso agad nila kinailangan umalis!” – Kylie

“Upo ka lang diyan at papakainin na kita ng hapunan diyan at pagkatapos ay dadaan tayo sa clinic. Papa-check natin yang mga kamay mo.” Don Kael left the room to my astonishement.

Are my hands really that badly injured?

“And uh... pumunta na rin si... Mama rito.” Rhianne spoke, that instead of breaking silence, made silence from all of us.
