"Nak, sobrang taas na ng lagnat mo. We have to meet with doc today ha?" Ang malumanay na tanong ni mommy sa akin.

I just nodded slightly as an answer. My eyelids were very heavy, and I feel so hot inside. Every time I open my eyes, I feel like puking. I feel bad na sa mommy ko at kay yaya. Ilang araw na nila akong inaalagaan pero hindi pa rin bumababa ang lagnat ko.

"I'm sorry, mommy, if I'm still sick."

I felt her fingers on my head while she gently combed my hair. "Don't be sorry, babe. It's mommy's job to take care of you. I'll just change my clothes saglit tapos alis na tayo."

Tumango lang ulit ako. Nang makaalis si mommy muli akong nakatulog. Nagising na lang ako na nasa car na namin. I saw manong Cal on the driver's seat, and beside him is Yaya Tes. My mommy was sitting beside me with my baby sister on her lap. I heard Eclaire also had a cough. I feel bad about it. Palagi ko kasi siyang k-in-i-kiss before ako nilagnat. Siguro nakuha niya ang sakit sa akin.

"How are you feeling right now, hon? Tiis lang ng kaunti we're almost there. Your dad is on his way na rin sa hospital."

I gulped hard nang pakiramdam ko ay masusuka na naman ako ulit. I don't want to trouble them more, specially my mommy. Sabi ni mommy malapit na naman kami sa hospital. Kailangan ko lang magtiis saglit.

I scooted closer to my mom and leaned on her shoulder. I'm feeling cold again but I have thick clothes on me naman kaya okay lang.

"Why are you so hot ba, nak? Bakit hindi pa rin bumababa ang lagnat mo." I could hear my mom's uneasiness habang nakayakap ang isa niyang kamay sa katawan ko.

"I don't know, mommy. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's fine, baby. It's normal for mommy's to be worried." Ang sabi ni mommy saka ako hinalikan sa head ko.

We were silent for a little while. I'm starting to feel sleepy again. Biglang pumasok sa head ko iyong friend ni Gavin. He's very handsome kahit palagi niya akong inaasar at pinagtri-tripan. Kapag healthy na ako ulit, I want to be friends with him. Gusto ko ring magka-friend na pogi. Si Gavin kasi kahit madaming may crush sa kanya nagwi-wiwi pa rin sa higaan niya o di kaya ay sa bed ko kapag nagsle-sleep over siya.

"Manong Cal may truck!" Ang narinig kong malakas na sigaw ni yaya bago ko naramdaman ang paghigpit ng kapit ni mommy sa akin.

"Oh my God!" Ang iyak ni mommy matapos kong marinig ang malakas na tunog ng sasakyan namin.

"Mommy!" Ang natatakot kong sigaw sa mommy ko.

I couldn't open my eyes. Pero ramdam ko ang pagtama ng katawan ko sa kung saan-saan dito sa loob ng sasakyan habang nagpa-ikot-ikot kami. We hit something hard kaya nabitiwan ako ni mommy. I hit my head somewhere nang tumilapon ako.

I opened my eyes to see if my mommy's fine. But I wish I didn't because I saw her bathing in her own blood. Then my eyes moved to my baby sister. She was crying a lot tapos madami pa siyang sugat. There was blood everywhere.

I crawled to my mommy and shook her. I tried my best not to cry but my tears came out on there own. "Mommy, wake up. Mommy, wake up, Eclaire is crying, mommy. Please wake up."

I winced in pain when I moved to see if my yaya Tes is awake. Tiningnan ko ang gilid ko at nakitang may nakasaksak na glass doon. Gano'n din si Eclaire. May glass din na nakatusok sa back niya.

"Mommy, yaya, Eclaire is hurt. What should I do? Please wake up!" Ang iyak ko habang tinutulak-tulak si yaya na nakapikit rin ang mata at naliligo sa sarili niyang dugo.
