Truth

In the span of only a few days, a lot of things has happened. It made me realized so many things in life. I learned a lot of lessons that I can apply with me in my normal daily life. My days continued normally like how it suppose to be. The only difference is that, I don't have a direction. It's like I am doing something as a daily routine, kasi nakasanayan. I do all the things I am doing before without investing anymore emotion, and I call it living.

I am spending all of my time on self reflecting. Sinisisi ko pa rin kasi ang sarili ko sa lahat. Sinisisi ko ang sarili ko kung bakit na coma si Josh at kung bakit na kidnap si ate Reign. Veryl Cortez must like Arion so much. Kaya niya nagawang alisin ang kung sino mang hahadlang. Pero sana ay sa akin niya ibinunton ang galit niya at hindi sa taong mahalaga sa akin. Idagdag pa ang pagkawala ni Cassey. Halo halo ang nararamdaman ko nitong mga nakaraang araw. It's a good thing that I was still able to continue this life despite of falling several times.

Pinag iisipan ko pa noong una kung dadalawin ko ba si Eru na naka confine sa hospital. I really want to see her and talk to her. Hindi lang siya kun'di lahat sila. I wanted to explain my side so bad but because I am so scared, I can't bring myself to do so. Marami pa sana akong plano sa pagpunta sa kaniya sa hospital. I also rehearsed my lines and the things I wanted to say. Sa huli, hindi rin ako pumunta.

Later, I've known that Eru is working in that Hospital as a Surgeon and Axis as a Hematologis. Sila rin ang may ari ng malaking hospital na 'yon. How about the others? I don't have any idea but I know they are successful in their fields of profession too. I wonder how many businesses they had. Gaano kaya kayaman ang pamilya nila? And their money, it must be a lot... but they are pretty humble and down to earth. Hindi ko sila kailanman nakitaan ng pagmamataas sa mga panahon na nakasama ko sila.

"Stop talking and don't sit beside me. Ayaw kitang katabi!" ate Reign blurted out on Doc James.

Nagkatinginan kami ni ate Ally at napailing na lang siya sa akin. I watch them closely while they are at it. Since it is weekends and I don't have work, we went to visit Joshua again. Sana ay hindi na iingayan sa amin si Josh.

"Tch! Come on Sovereign! How long are you going to keep this up? Akala ko ba ay napag usapan na natin ito?" si Doc James.

I awkwardly diverted my gaze on the other side. Don't they think it would be a lot way better to talk it out in private? Yung sila lang sanang dalawa at walang ibang nakakarinig. Tumingin na lang ako sa baba pero nakikinig pa rin naman sa kanila.

"Don't touch me! Doon ka na kay Veryl at samahan mo siya sa kulungan!"

I never knew that ate Reign has this side on her? I smiled at the ground in amusement.

"Look, I already told you to stop being jealous. It's not like I wanted her to like me. I also told her about you," he said calmly.

They were taking it lightly but it has a different attack on me. Gulat akong napatingin sa kanila. What does that mean? Veryl Cortez likes Doctor James? Akala ko ba... si Arion? Am I wrong all along?

"Sorry," hingi ng paumanhin sa amin ni Doc.

Maybe he is getting embarass with what they are fighting about. Nanatili ang gulat kong mga mata.

"W-What... do you mean by that Doc?" nag aalinlangan kong tanong.

I looked at them with eagerness to know the details of what he just told. Don't tell me I am avoiding and getting angry towards Arion for nothing?

"Alin?"

"A-About Veryl... he likes you? What is it all about?" I asked confused.

Nagpalipat lipat ang tingin ko sa kanila ni ate Reign. The latter only sighed and kept on being quiet.
