"I just missed you that's why I decided to come here. You didn't say where you were going so I just looked where possible."
The boys knew that they arrived earlier when we were gone to change our clothes. They would not have accepted other guests but since Jelo is a nice guy and they are close to them, he didn't hesitate to let them enter. We are still in the same hotel to sleep but of course, they are different rooms.
"What about that grocery thingy? Is that a lie? Sister Casyn told me that you and Ashley went out to the grocery store. What was that?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
She frowned immediately."That was true, she didn't lie. Before I took her to the grocery store, my things were already packed. And when we got back to the house, I told them that I'm going to have my favor since I agreed to come with her. Don't be mad, baby. We won't disturb you."
"Really, huh? Aren't you?" I looked to the other side of the sea where Ziro and Mau were.
"He was just excited to see her.They just entered into a relationship so give it a go. Baby, hug me. "
I frowned and then raised both my hands to hug him. He came closer to me and hugged me so tight like we just met after years. I even lost a few hours next to him, he couldn't take it anymore. What if I lost the whole life, what would he do?
"Tonight, we're going to have a bonfire here. You and your friends? What are you going to do?" I asked him while swaying our hands in the air.
He thought."Drink? It's just wine so don't worry. We're gonna occupy the mini-bar later at night."
"As long as you can go back to your room, it's okay. Just be careful and don't mess the bar," I reminded him.
We separated after that because they're going to eat lunch in the cafeteria where they served food. We still have some dishes left here and just increase the order in the cafeteria in case it doesn't fit. They didn't make the barbeque because it's for tonight for the tea party.
By nightfall, they had gathered the wood they had picked up by the sea. The boys are the in charge of the bonfire for our safety. Girls were making the foods, drinks and the desserts while I was just sitting here and watching them doing their assigned work.
I smiled as I watched them work together on things. It's feels different to me because our section is known for being stubborn and doesn't know the word hardwork and helplessness. Fortunately, I witnessed these things because it brought me so much fun.
"You, Shara! You're gonna sing one chorus of your favorite song. All right. We haven't heard you singing!" Steven cheered me.
The head of the bottle hit me, so I was the one they discussed again. I think for a song thay I loved the most. One of my favorites.
"You're my night and day. With you I'd stay no matter what always. I am yours forever. There's no other here inside me. You are all that I ever live for. And I promise to love you more. 'Cause today I can feel. That I love you more than before," I sing with all my heart.
They fell silent after I sang so I was suddenly embarrassed. Is my voice not good? Maybe I'm hoarse from drinking cold tea.
"Oh my god! I have nothing more to say. Your voice is so beautiful and we just heard that," Roses said in disbelief.
I winced at what he said."My voice isn't that nice. It's just the right tone, what the!"
That's what we did until we reached 9 pm and decided to go upstairs to sleep because I was not allowed to stay up. I told them that we're going to take a peek in the mini-bar to see what they are doing. My lips parted in shock when Caseth, Ziro, and Hades were already drunk... as in DRUNK. The three of them were already asleep at the table while the drinks were still scattered on the table. Good thing there are no alcohol spilled on the floor and it's not that messy.
"Did I think they wouldn't get drunk?" I whispered to myself.
Jelo walked towards their direction, confirming if they're already asleep."I'll handle them, don't worry. Josh, Steven, Kyla, help me here."
"I'm sorry for disturbing you guys. They said they wouldn't get too drunk," Maureen said shyly.
"Nah, it's okay. You're all in your room, we'll take them too," Josh replied.
The next day we packed up everything to get ready to go home. We took a shower first before eating in the cafeteria. We ate their dishes because we ate all the lunch yesterday. Those three guys who got drunk last night were probably sleeping right now. It's up to them, we'll leave them here.
They have their own car, anyways.
"Baby?! Baby! I thought you left already."
I choked when I heard his voice behind me. He worriedly held my back and caressed it to calm me down. I glared at him because of what he did. He is still at fault for me.
"Why are you surprised? Can't you see that I'm eating?" I asked annoyingly.
He suddenly hugged me that made them cough intentionally."I'm sorry. I had too much to drink last night, I was just carried away by the taste of wine. I love you."
"Awful! I'm full there. I'm going back to my room." Kyla glanced at me and winked before walking away.
I just shook his head and patted his back."I love you too. Eat it."
"Ugh! I can't do this anymore." Fiona stood up and even fanned herself as she walked away.
We left after that and I was still there with my friends. They just followed us so that when I came home Caseth was also there. He's going to give his car to Ziro and let him drive it back to his house. After they bid goodbye to me, Caseth helped me with my luggages and get inside the house.
"Good afternoon Ma, Pa," I said as I entered the house.
"I'll climb upstairs to put back your luggages. Just go to the kitchen, they might be there," he said and went upstairs.
I did what he said and he was right. They were both cooking lunch while listening to the radio's drama. I immediately smiled at them when they saw me and hugged them. The closer I get to running out of time, the more I feel their love for me. If I could just wish for one thing, I want to live with them.
"I just arrived, Mama, Papa. I'm with Caseth and he's in my room, arranging my things." I looked at what Mama was cooking and smelled it.
"Hey, just wait, it's hot there. Sit there first and wait, call your boyfriend and let him eat at the same time. It's about to be cooked." He tasted the pork porridge soup and he also tasted it with Dad.
Papa clapped his hands happily."Hey! It's delicious. It's all cooked, I'm hungry. I'll prepare the rice."
I stood up from my chair to call him but before I could even take a step, he appeared while bringing a box of pizza and donuts. Wait. Where did he bought it? On the other side there is a seller so it is impossible for him to go just now.
"I'll put this on your refrigerator. I actually bought it for you while we were on the flight home." He sat beside me after that.
Ah, maybe I just fell asleep at that time so I didn't notice. They thanked him and let him eat with us. After that, I will leave first and come back tomorrow morning so that I can spend time with my parents. We're just going to talk in the phone until we fell asleep.
"Ma! What K-drama are we going to watch? Just make sure it's worth it and the theme is love story," I said frowning.
Mama just laughed at me and opened our flat screen."We're going to watch something good, it's famous. The title 'Tail Of The Nine Tailed' that was released a few months ago."
"It looks good, you made a good choice. Papa! The pizza and donuts that Caseth brought earlier, please bring them here!" I shout in the kitchen as I sit here on the sofa.
Episode 1 is only a few minutes away but my body seems to be weakening. I just pretended that I'm okay and drink water from time to time. I also took a pizza and I only took a small bite because I seemed to have lost my appetite. I also felt sleepy and my breathe became heavy.
"I'll just take my phone to the bedroom and call Caseth. I'll be back in a minute." I drained the water from the glass and hurried upstairs to my room.
When I get in my room, I immediately closed the door and find my inhaler. I breathe in and out, trying to calm myself so that I could get enough air. There was a water jug ​​on my side table so even though I was weak, I stood up to get it. No matter how I tried to drink water, I couldn’t swallow it. The medicine that I stopped taking doesn't help this time. The medicine doesn't really work for me anymore.
I tried to shout to call for my parents help but there's no voice that came out from my mouth. Seems like something's blocking my vocals. I cried and cried because I knew this will be the start of my suffering or maybe this is the end. They couldn't hear me because I don't have any voice and they were probably busy watching the drama. My body became numb as I fell onto the floor will all the things in the side table that I accidentally bumped.
No part of my body works but my brain. All I'm thinking right now is the happy faces and memories of my love ones. I thought it was still tomorrow but it looks like destiny has preceded it.
"Shara?! Shara! What's up--- Jusme! 'Don't let go son, huh? We'll take you to the hospital," Mama cried when she got close to where I was and hugged me on her thighs.
Dad was quick to pack our things in a big bag."Take this. I'll carry him to the corner and we'll wait for the car to the private hospital."
My tears won't stop falling down to my cheeks. Even though I am weak and I can hardly move my body, I still witness these painful things all my life. My father, who's crying harder while carrying me to find a taxi for us. My mother who's just beside me and also crying, telling me not to give up. I just want to sleep so I don't have to witness this thing. It hurts me a lot. They are suffering because of me and they will suffer even more when I leave.
Lord God, please help me overcome this situation I am right now.
"Emergency! Emergency! Bring this patient to the emergency room right now. She's going to lose her breathe if we take too long to respond!" The doctor shouted as the nurses helped him to push the stretcher where I'm lying.
My parents were left in the waiting area but they approached me when the nurses and doctors got into a commotion. I heard that there are so many patients today that's why they were having a hard time handling all of us.
"I-I want to... I-I can see them.. All of them," I had a hard time telling them before I was given oxygen and put inside the ER.
They injected something to the dextrose that caused me to fell asleep. I felt a lot weird in my body and all I knew was that my body was getting heavier. I'm weak. Maybe by tomorrow, I'm gone from their sight.
I woke up feeling pretty light. When I tried to move my hands, I can do it freely now. So far. I can't roll my eyes all over the place because I feel dizzy when I try to move my head. There's no one inside the room but me. Where are my parents? Did they go home?
"Shara?! Shara! Oh my god!" I only knew his voice so I didn't look at the door because I knew he was coming.
"H-Hi... have you arrived yet? I-I'm sorry if I bothered you." I tried not to cry as I said that.
They all cried like I'm going to leave. It's as if now is my end even if it's not yet. But it's near. I can feel it.
"What happened to you, girl? We're so worried about you. I forgot to make up to get here right away," Kyla said tearfully.
I gave them a small smile."I almost lost my breathe if my parents didn't take me here as soon as possible. Kung hindi pa ako umabot---"
"There you are again! Can you stop saying that?!" Fiona hissed.
"How are you feeling? Aren't you okay yet?" Jelo asked me.
I shook."My body is no longer normal. I'm getting weaker and weaker every minute. Before, I couldn't move any part of my body. Also, my voice suddenly disappeared so I didn't immediately ask for help."
"Baby! Shara? Fuck! Are you alright?" Caseth suddenly opened the door in a hurry and her hair was still messy.
I was about to answer him when I felt like something hit my chest so hard that I couldn't breathe. They screamed and panicked when I was struggling to catch my breathe and my body was shaking causing me to lose my control. I collapsed... in front of them, with eyes half-open.
I guess this is a goodbye.
