Lawsuit
"Karylle! Good morning!" Nagtiim bagang ako. I'm at my school right now, at lahat ng studyante ay pinagtatatawanan ako!
THEN WHAT IS REALLY GOOD IN THE MORNING?!
"Shut up." Inirapan ko si davis. He probably saw my picture. Lahat ng makakasalubong ko ay inaasar ako!
I will really kill that effing ezekiel! And may gana pa talaga siyang tawagin akong ellie?! Wow! Si daddy lang ang tumatawag sa akin non!
Umupo na ko sa upuan ko, all my classmates are laughing at me like i'm some disgusting!
Wala pa din si glissy, I don't know what do I do. I..effing want to lost! Dapat talaga hindi na 'ko pumasok, wala din naman akong mapapala dito kundi ang pangaasar!
"Karylle! Ang cute mo do'n! Ba't mo dinelete?" Aiza laughed, my classmate. I rolled my eyes.
"Pwede bang wag niyo muna akong kakausapin?! I don't need your effing opinions! I-I accidentally posted it!"
"But you're really cute–"
"Shut the hell up!" Pinutol ko ang sasabihin ni aiza. Pinagtitinginan na din ako ng mga kaklase ko. She pouted and sat on her chair.
After a few minutes dumating na din si glissy, she looks so happy! At naiinis ako sa ngiti niya!
"Karylle! So..what the hell happened huh…wine lang ang ininom mo, nalasing ka agad," She laughed. Hindi ko siya pinansin. She will never understand me! Never!
Umupo siya sa tabi ko, nasa bandang likuran kami ng classroom. I rolled my eyes when our Math teacher came.
Boring!
She started the class, and of course wala akong maintindihan! No one will teach me the way I want! Hindi ako magaling sa math o kahit sa anong subject! Feeling ko ay tatanda ako ng maaga pag lagi akong badtrip!
"Miss refuerzo! Are you listening?!" isn't obvious?! Of course not! Lagi niyang tinatanong kung nakikinig ba 'ko! Of course not! Never! Paulit ulit na lang.
"No.."
"I don't really know what do i do with you miss refuerzo! You just failed the exam!"
"And you failed to educate me! That's not the way I want you to teach me! Paano ako makikinig kung lagi niyo akong sisigawan?! Just how?!" And that's an alibi.
"A-are you talking back?!"
"Yes, that's how a conversation works." Pulang pula ang mukha niya sa galit. I suddenly feel guilty. Tinapik ni glissy and kamay ko.
"Hey, what's with you?"
"You…get out!" malakas na sigaw ni miss. I let out a heavy sigh before standing up.
"So tell me how will I learn." I said before leaving.
Nangingilid ang luhang tinawagan ko si mang leo. I want him to pick me up, I don't know where I will go now, ayokong umuwi, ayokong gumala, ayoko lahat!
Nang dumating si mang leo agad akong pumasok sa kotse.
"Hospital." I said even he's not asking. Gusto kong matulog na lang. Pag umuwi ako sa bahay, sisigawan din ako ni mom, si dad naman ay siguro wala doon dahil tuwing gabi lang siya bumibisita doon.
Pagdating sa ospital, agad akong pumasok. Pupunta na lang ako sa office ni daddy at magpapahinga. Marami din akong nakasalubong na mga doctor na bumabati at yumuyuko pa ngunit wala akong pinapansin.
I wanna be alone.
Habang naglalakad may bumangga sa akin, nurse na may hila hilang stretcher na may nakahiga na duguan na lalaki.
"S-sorry ma'am karylle.." ani nurse. My body froze when I saw the man lying on the stretcher.
"E-ezekiel.." his face is full of blood! Namutla ako, it's not that i'm not used to blood, it's just like something I can't explain! Wala siyang malay at sobrang putla niya!
"W-what happened to him?" I asked the nurse. Sinundan ko sila hanggang sa ER.
"N-nakipagbubugan daw po, e." oh really?! Napakabasagulero!
____
Nakahalukipkip ako habang pinapanood ang nurse na ginagamot ang walang malay na si ezekiel. I rolled my beautiful eyes, makikipagbugbugan hindi naman pala kaya!
"Uh, excuse me ma'am karylle, kilala niyo po ba ang pasyente?" The nurse asked me when she's done curing the wound of ezekiel.
I blinked twice. Should I say yes? Kilala ko naman siya pero parang hindi? What should I say then?! At bakit niya ba 'ko tinatanong?!
"Yes."
"Kilala niyo po ba ang guardian niya?" Aba malay ko!
"N-no, maybe I will ask him later." She nodded before walking away. I rolled my eyes. I just know his name! But..i don't really know him.
Umupo ako sa upuan sa gilid ng kamang hinihigaan niya, may puting nakabalot sakanyang ulo, andami din niyang pasa sa mukha, at hindi lang sa mukha! His arms too! What the hell happened with this guy? Is he insane?!
Why I am worried at him?! I should be mad at him because of what he did! I promised that I will kill him, but I'm here and looks like i'm responsible to him!
"Tigilan mo 'yang titig mo, pakiramdam ko papatayin mo 'ko." I almost jump when he suddenly talk! Omygod!
"I will really kill you!" He smirked and sat on the bed. Napadaing pa siya sa sakit ng sugat niya.
"Ayan! Sa susunod kasi pag makikipagbugbugan ka, siguraduhin mong kaya mo ah!" I shouted like I'm his mother.
"Tss.." ngumiwi siya at tumayo.
"W-where are you going?" tumayo din ako.
"Uuwi." Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Uuwi?! Eh hindi pa nga magaling yang sugat mo, uuwi?!" Hinarangan ko ang dadaanan niya. "Go back and rest!"
"Wala akong pangbayad.." Malumanay na aniya.
"Then let your parents pay that! That's not even a valid reason!" He sighed.
"Wala akong magulang." I blinked twice.
"W-what? uncle? Auntie? Your grandmother? What? Lolo? Any sibling?" He shook his head.
Tumitig ako sakanya, his eyes are tired, his wound is still not okay, what if something will happen to him?! Who will help him?! He's alone!
"T-then I will pay!" He laughed sarcastically.
"Tumabi ka dyan, ellie." May halong irita sakanyang boses.
"No! What if you faint?! Who will help you huh?!"
"Kaya ko ang sarili ko, hindi ko kailangan ng awa mo, tumabi ka na."
"Why don't you sell my old phone?!"
"Ellie wag nang makulit, please.." He looks frustrated! Yumuko ako. I think nothing gonna change his mind.
"You..call me when you need help." I whispered. "At hindi pa ko tapos sayo! May kasalanan ka pa sa 'kin!" I shouted, I saw his smirk before I went out.
Hindi ko na hinintay na makalabas pa siya sa ER, agad akong tumakbo papunta sa office ni daddy. I have his key 'cause I borrowed this to him last time. Pumasok ako at syempre wala siya rito.
Sinarado ko ang pinto at umupo sa swivel chair ni dad.
Hay, bakit napakakulit ng lalaking yon?! Hindi niya alam kami ang may-ari ng ospital na 'to! Kayang kaya kong bayaran ang magiging bill niya dito! But his pride was too high to reach!
Kinuha ko ang phone ko, simula noong pinatayan ko siya ng tawag kanina, hindi ko na ito nabuksan. I opened it and look at my old phone's number.
"Ibebenta niya ba talaga 'yon? Pano pag ayoko?" As if naman may magagawa ako. I gave that to him so that's his now! It's not mine anymore, so I don't have rights to force him not to sell it. Ugh!
Nilapag ko ang phone ko sa lamesa.
Nilibot ko ang mata ko sa office ni dad. Napansin ko ang isang envelop na sa harap ko. i'm curious so I opened it. Kumunot ang noo ko.
"Lawsuit?" bulong ko sa sarili. But before I read all the information the door opened and I saw dad. Agad kong binalik ang papel sa enevelop at Ibinalik iyon sa dati.
"Oh ellie, don't you have class?" Kinuha niya ang envelop na hawak ko kanina at itinago niya iyon sa drawer at nilock.
"U-uh, I-I have? I'm not in the mood, you know…" I smiled. "Is mom here?" kabadong tanong ko.
"She's not here, bihira lang iyon pumunta dito." Lumiwanag ang mukha ko.
"Great." I whispered. "I'm going, dad." I smiled. But I don't really know where will I go!
"Oh okay, take care, ellie." I nodded. Lumabas na 'ko at namoblema kung saan na pupunta. Oh god.
Naglakad ako papuntang elevator. I saw a doctor inside, he's tall and he's handsome. Pumasok na 'ko.
"Karylle." Nilingon ko siya.
"Oh hi? Do I know you po?"
"Zack lawckson from Neurosurgery department," Ipinakita niya ang ID niya na nakaipit sa bulsa ng white coat niya. "Did you see a girl..with a wavy hair, white skin, she's wearing a light blue dress." I blinked twiced.
"No, I didn't." He sighed.
"I lost her! Aish!" Ngumiwi ako. At bakit niya naman kasi iniiwan?! Tss.
Nang bumukas ang elevator ay agad akong lumabas. So what now? What now huhu, hindi ko alam kung saan ako lulugar.
Pero ano nga ba yung lawsuit?
