Misguided Stars

Chapter 26

In her perspective…

Sobrang sakit ng ulo ko. I slowly opened my eyes and I immediately saw a white ceiling. I looked around and napansin ko na nasa clinic ako. Paglingon ko sa left ko, nakita ko si Thirdy na nakasubsob sa bed ko. Ginalaw ko yung kamay ko to reach his head. He immediately lift his head and nung nakita niya na gising ako, hinawakan niya agad yung kamay ko

"Boo, are you okay? How are you feeling?" concern is really evident in his face

"I'm okay Thirds. My head kinda hurts lang…"

He lift his left hand na rin to hold my hand and kissed my knuckles

"Sorry kasi hindi ko nasagot yung calls mo. Dani called me after you fainted. Buti na lang daw her classmates were in the vicinity kaya naattend ka agad and nadala rito. Sabi lang ni Dani sa'kin you were running daw before you fainted. What happened ba talaga?"

I closed my eyes and nirecall yung nangyari sa'kin. I sighed and looked at him

"Sa dulo kasi ako ng south parking nakahanap ng parking space. So I decided to use the shortcut sa may forest para makarating sa Schmitt. While I was walking, nafeel ko na someone is following me but I can't see anyone. That continued hanggang sa nagpapanic na ako inside. That's why I tried calling you kasi I know naman na you're on campus lang. But then may nafeel akong mist sa face ko and it smells odd. I felt dizzy after and then I saw Dani. That's it. I fainted after that…"

He was listening to every word and pinipisil niya yung kamay ko as the story progresses..

"Sorry talaga boo. Promise I'll never leave your side especially when you're outside para hindi na ulit mangyari yung ganito…"

I smiled and helped myself para makaupo ako. He adjusted naman and put our hands in my lap after I settled in my position

"I appreaciate na concern ka boo, but I know na you have more important things to do. You don't have to do that naman…"

"but you are the most important person to me. Hindi ko mapapatawad yung sarili ko kapag may nangyaring masama sa'yo…"

I blushed and pinched his cheeks

"Hay nako tara na nga. Anong oras na ba?"

"3 pm na. Tagal mong nakatulog ehhh. Pero don't worry naipaalam na kita sa thesismates mo na di ka makakahelp sa pag asikaso ng papers niyo ngayon…"

I just nodded and stood up. Bago ako lumabas ng clinic, chineck ng school nurse namin yung blood pressure ko and pinaalalahanan din ako na mag ingat. After that, lumabas na kami

"Paano pala yan, dala ko yung car mo and dala ko yung car ko?" tanong ko sa kanya while we're walking

"Gamitin na lang muna natin yung car mo. Babalik pa kasi ako dito sa Ateneo later kasi hindi ko pa natatapos yung pinapagawa sa'kin. Hatid lang kita sa Blue saglit…"

"Ehh paano ka pagbalik?"

Tinuro niya yung building ng Blue

"Ang lapit lang naman Boo. I can walk naman pabalik…"

"Stay here na lang para di ka na mapagod…"

"No hatid na kita…"

Ilang minutes kami nag argue kung sino masusunod. In the end, nanalo naman siya. So I gave him my keys kasi siya na raw magdadrive. I secured my seat belt and he started the engine na…

"Boo?"

"Hmm?" lumingon ako sa kanta

"I love you…" napangiti na lang ako and ganun din siya
