“ You shoul really get back to painting, man. Seriously.” Rex said. It’s his day off at naisipan niyang manggulo dito sa condo. Tri’s on his way too. Alex, on the other hand, will try his best to come. Hirap talaga hagilapin ng lokong yun.
“ Di ako inspired magpinta.” sagot ko. His eyes shifted from the painting to me saka kumunot noo.
“ Bakit?”
“ Eh walang inspiration eh.” kibit-balikat ko. Napatango siya saka na iniwan ang painting at umupo sa kabilang couch.
“ Kung sabagay. Dati kasi sobrang inspired ka eh. I guess your muse became your worst nightmare.” he said.
“ Gago.” sabi ko.
“ Hindi naman si Maddie ang inspiration o muse ko nun!”
“ Gago. Lokohin mo na lahat wag lang ako tanga.” aniya
“ And I didn’t even dropped a name. You sound so defensive Ivan! Hahahhaha!”
“ Tss.” iling ko.
“ So. Tri told me you’re dating Liam’s Teacher?” ngisi niya.
“ You finally found someone more attractive than Maddie. Tama ba?”
“ Jho is way more attractive than her.”
“ So the rumors are true. Nagdedate nga kayo?” tanong niya ulit. Nagkibit-balikat lang ako saka tumingin sa phone ko. There’s a text from Tita Dons.
“ Hoy. Hangin ba kausap ko dito?”
“ Teka sandali. Nagtext si Tita.” sabi ko as I opened the messages.
“ Saka we’ve only dated thrice. Yung isa kasama pa si Liam.”
I read the message at nagtaka ako sa nabasa ko. Tita doesn’t usually text me unless Liam’s coming over.
Tita Dons:
Van, call me sobrang urgent lang.
“ Wait lang, Rex. Tita wants me to call her.” sabi ko saka dinial ang number ni tita. She answered it before the second ring at agad akong kinabahan nang marinig ang boses niya.
“ Van will you please come here?”
“ Po? Saan po Tita?”
“ Andito kase kami ni William sa hospital…”
“ Ho?! Ano pong nangyari sa kanya?”
“ The school sent him home dahil mataas ang lagnat. He’s diagnosed with dengue.”
“ S-san pong hospital yan? Pupunta na po ko agad Tita.”
“ Uy sama ako!” ani Rex saka na kami patakbong lumabas ng unit.
“ Dito sa St. Lukes. Please come as quickly as possible, Ivan. Di ko na alam gagawin sa apo ko. He’s been crying and calling for you.”
“ Okay po Tita. Papunta na po kame dyan” sabi ko and ended the call.
“ Dude tell Tri to meet us at St. Lukes na lang ha.”
“ Oks.” ani Rex
“ Hello, Tri… san ka na? Tanga wag ka na dumiretcho sa condo. Sa St. Lukes na tayo magkita… wag ka na madaming tinatanong dyan! Bilisan mo na! Oo kasama ko si Ivan… Tanga siya nga yung pinapatawag dun. Bobo mo naman! Ah basta dun ka dumiretcho ha, kutos ka sakin mamaya Bye!”
Mabilis kaming nakarating ni Rex sa hospital. Andun agad si Den at naghihintay sa amin sa labas.
“ Don’t ask. Tara na sa ER.” aniya as we walked briskly to the ER. Naabutan namin si Tita Dons at Liam na nakaupo sa isang kama while Liam’s crying.
