[Akira Archangel] "Do you need anything?" I heard Juancho, my husband, ask me from behind. "I'm okay…" I feel drained that I couldn't even tone up my voice a little bit. "Dapat nanatili ka na lang sa ospital. Bakit kasi nagpumilit ka pang umuwi rito sa bahay—" I just want to be alone...please," I begged, not wanting to beg him, but I don't want his presence in the same room with me. He sighed heavily. "W-Why do you hate me so much, Akira? I wanted to stay by your side but you keep on pushing me away. Ako lang ang nasa tabi mo ngayon pero paulit-ulit mong pinaparamdam sa akin na hindi mo ako kailangan. Just…why?" "Do you want me to answer that?" It was almost a whisper. My teeth were gritted. I heard him sigh as he walked away from the balcony where I was sitting in my wheelchair.
