What If (St. Mary's U Series #1)

Chapter 26

Kanina ko pa naririnig ang mga boses sa paligid ko pero hindi ko mabuksan ang mata ko para gumising na. I still want to rest.

"Is she okay, Doc?" that familiar voice of my brother sounds so worried.

"Base on the tests we did, she's fine. Let's just wait for her to wake up so we can check her again."

"Are you sure Doc? Bakit hindi pa nagigising ang kapatid ko? She's been sleeping for almost 24 hours!"

"Prix, calm down. Walang maitutulong yang init ng ulo mo." boses ni Tita.

"Please, wake up." a gentle voice whispered to me.

Even though I wanted to sleep more, I pushed my self to wake up and slowly peeled my eyes open. Then I saw the one who's holding my hand.

"Yo-You're awake." Pinisil niya ang kamay ko at hinalikan iyon.

"Okay ka na ba?" He said.

"T-Trevor..." He handed me a glass of water. Medyo nanunuyo din kasi ang lalamunan ko. "Thank you."

Nang marinig ako ni Tita - na nakikipag usap pa sa doctor ay agad niya akong nilapitan. Trevor moved and gave her space. "Oh my, Dear! I'm really sorry. It was all my fault."

"No. You don't have to say sorry Tita." I sincerely told her. "Ayos naman po ako."

Sunod na pumunta sa akin ang doctor. "How are you feeling, Ms. San Diego?"

"I'm good, Doc. My head aches a bit but I can manage."

"That's good to hear. May mga naaalala ka ba?" She cleared her throat. "I mean if you have some memories you think is real but you really didn't experience it?"

"Opo, doc. Pero hindi po masyadong malinaw."

Napatango-tango ang doctor. "I see." she turned to Tita Nancy. "We have to run some test on her and if she's completely fine, pwede na po siya ma-discharge."

"Sige, Doc. Thank you." Hinatid siya ni Tita hanggang sa pinto.

Because of what's happening around me, hindi ko napansin na may nakahawak pa pala sa kamay ko kung hindi siya gumalaw.

I've been trying to calm down since I woke up. Gusto kong magalit at magtampo sa kanila. Alam ba nilang lahat ito? At ako lang ang hindi?

But I'll give them a chance to explain everything to me. And now, seeing Vernon's handsome face who just woke up, rubbing his eyes. It felt like my system is now calming down.

He gaped upon seeing me. "Vannesa, you made me worried. Ho-How are you?" He caressed my hand.

I chuckled to lighten the mood. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm good."

"What happened?" His brows furrowed. "I told you take care of yourself when I'm not around -- " he was cut off by Kuya Prix. Nagbago agad ang nararamdaman ko.

"Euri," si Kuya na lumapit sakin. "Sorry. I wasn't around when you passed out."

I heaved a deep sigh. "Wala kang kasalanan Kuya... Hindi ko lang matanggap na may tinatago pala kayo sakin nila Mommy." And there, I said it. I told myself I'll bring this up once we get home, but I couldn't help it.

I saw him stilled and stunned.

Buong akala ko madali lang ako makalimot at natural lang yon. And I figured it out now. That I have an amnesia.
