Agape Satchel Minsky

"You will be discharged tomorrow morning Ms. Minsky, your tests results were all negative. You're lucky because you only got minor head injury and some scratches. We didn't see any internal bleeding or complications so there's nothing wrong with discharging you. But if ever you can still feel pain you can tell me so we can check it." Doc Philip said after checking my condition.

Until now I don't know what will happen to me after this. I dont even know where to go. Hayy! Gusto ko na talagang umalis pero san naman ako pupunta? Isa pa pano ko mababayaran yung utang ko kay Art? Haisst! Nakakainis naman, feeling ko tuloy magkakasakit ako anytime.

"Thank you Doc, i'll settle the bills later." art said as he escort Doc Philip out.

I should be the one saying that! Kung nandito lang ang wallet ko, paying for the bills and looking for a place to stay will not be this hard. Ang hirap talaga pag walang pera! Tawagan ko kaya si Saimon? Pero hindi eh! Sya na rin ang nagsabi na mukhang nakakahalata na si Dad, baka mamaya mahuli nya pa ako.

"Happy?"

Napalingon ako kay Art, he's walking towards my direction while smiling. Happy ba kamo? Sobrang happy sana kaya nga lang anong mangyayari sakin pagkaalis ko dito? Pwede naman sigurong bumalik ako saglit sa condo ko no? Kaso lang baka may mga binayarang tao dun si dad. Eh kung ipakuha ko na lang kaya kay Art? No hindi pwede, baka sya naman ang mapahamak.

"Gap okay ka lang ba?"

"H-ha? Ah yeah! I'm okay, I'm fine! Really." wala sa sariling sagot ko.

"You sure?" he asked again

Tumango na lang ako at nginitian sya. How can I manage this problem? I can't think of a proper way to help myself out of this critical situation. Nakakabobo rin pala talaga to!

"Bukas makakalabas ka na dito." seryoso nitong sabi.

"Mmm, thanks to you." I said in a low voice.

Umupo sya sa dulo ng kama ko at saka ako nginitian. What's up with him? Madalas syang ngumiti pero bakit parang iba yung ngiting pinapakita nya ngayon? It's not the usual radiant smile na nakakapagpakalma sakin. It's like a smile that's less genuine? If there's such thing as that.

"Mamimiss kita," he said while looking at me intently.

That caught me offguard, how can he just say that while looking at me firmly? Iba talaga ang lalakeng to! A voice inside me whispered. Yeah, I guess so, he's different.

"Babalik ka pa ba sa condo unit mo?" tanong nya sakin.

Ugh! Thanks for reminding me that Art. A big help. Sobrang laking tulong.

"I-I'm not sure yet, but don't worry i'll find a way to see you para mabayaran kita. Swear!" I said to him while raising my right hand as a sign of swearing to him.

Napabuntonghininga naman sya pagkatapos kong banggitin yun. What's the matter?

"Diba sabi ko naman sayo hindi mo ako kailangang bayaran? You're so hardheaded!" panenermon nya sakin.
