This chapter may cause anxiety attack and traumatic flashbacks. Please stop if you must. Konting dialogues lang ang makikita sa chapter na 'to, more of narrative tayo.

Please read at your own risk, really not for a faint-hearted.

STORM

I STOOD in front of the gate, repeatedly reading the text that was sent to me. Dr. Angelo Casamiro, siya ang dapat kong tanungin kung gusto kong malaman ang katotohanan kay Papa. His name is really familiar to me.

At sino naman kaya itong nag-text sa'kin? Tanging si Nicco lang at si Dr. dela Fuenta lang ang sinabihan ko tungkol dito. Could this be Dr. dela Fuente?

I leaned my back on the gate and mustered all my courage before sending a message to the unknown number.

To: 09123456789

Is this Dr. dela Fuente?

Mabilis siyang nag-reply sa'kin.

From: 09123456789

This is Attorney Fernando 

Grandecilla, his lawyer.

I gulped. Bakit malalaking tao ang nakakasalamuha ko? But all for my dad's sake, handa akong harapin ang kahit na sino.

I received again another message, it's from Sabrina this time.

From: Sabrina <3

Stormy, umalis muna ko ng dorm mo just minutes ago. My dad finally called me and gusto niyang makipagkita. I called and texted you for many times already at hindi ka sumasagot. No, hindi ako galit. I'm more of worried. I love you so much.

I don't know where this surge of emotions came from, but it only takes one I love you from her to make me this fucking emotional. It all gets heavy in the chest that it made me want to hug her closer to me to lighten all the burdens.

My fingers are shaking as I type my reply, feeling tormented.

To: Sabrina <3

I'm sorry, baby. I just did something important. I will tell you everything sooner. I love you so much.

Kusa nang tumulo ang luha ko pagka-send ko ng message, ngunit mabilis ko ring pinahid iyon. I have come too far, and now that's it here, I needed to be stronger.

Muli kong pinagmasdan ang phone ko, nag-iisip kung ipapaalam ko ba kay Niccolo at kung magpapasama ba ko sa kanya sa ADLDC. But in the end, I decided not to tell him. Ayoko na siyang idamay sa gulong 'to. This is my own battle and he's out from it.

Nag-commute ako papunta sa ADLDC. This is my first time going here, and it's really big with good facilities. It's probably the biggest laboratory and diagnostic center I've been to. They also provide complete package of diagnostic test, and has a lot of affiliated hospitals.
