LIAM MYLES PASCUA Hinihingal akong nakarating sa hospital kung saan isinugod ang kapatid ko. Dahil sa pagmamadali ko nga eh may nabangga pa akong babae kanina. Pagkarating ko ng Hospital ay tinanong ko kaagad ang nurse na nasa front desk. "Hello miss, saang room number po ba si Sienna Pascua?" "Wait lang po sir" pagpapakalma nito sa akin at agad naman nya itong hinanap.. "Kaano-ano po ba kayo ng pasyente" tanong nito sa akin habang pasimple ako nitong pinasadahan ng tingin. "Kapatid nya ako" agad kong sagot ng may kunting pagkainip dahil narin sa sobrang pag-aalala na aking nararamdaman. "Ok po sir, nasa room 106 po" sagot nito na nakangiti. Agad ko naman itong pinasalamatan at dali-daling tinungo ang kwarto na binanggit sa akin ng nurse. Pag kapasok ko nakita ko ang kapatid kong natutulog ng mahimbing at sa gilid nito ay ang matalik kong kaibigan na si Bryson. Agad ko naman itong nilapitan para pasalamatan "Bry maraming Salamat sa pagbantay mo sa kapatid ko.. wala kasi akong ibang matawagan kundi ikaw lang, mukhang naabala pa kita. Pasensya ka na" paghinging paumanhin ko na rin. Busy rin kasi ito sa pag-aasikaso nito sa kanyang mga negosyo. "Bro ano ka ba, maliit na bagay at isa pa nasa malapit lang din ako. Sino-sino din lang ang magtutulungan kung di tayong magkakaibigan." Pagtapik nito sa aking balikat at ginantihan ko naman ito ng ngiti. Siya si Bryson Antonio isa sa matalik kong kaibigan simula pagkabata. Nakilala ko sya nung nagjoin ako sa dance club noong Elementary at dahil sa marami kaming pagkakapareho ng interest ay mas lalo kaming naging close. "Teka may trabaho ka pa ngayon diba? Nasabihan mo na rin ba si Jace sa nangyari?" Bukod kay Bryson ay may isa rin akong kaibigan, si Jace. Hindi ko kasi sya macontact kanina, sya sana ang pakikiusapan ko para bantayan ang kapatid ko habang di pa ko dumadating. "Nagpaalam agad ako sa Manager namin na sinugod ang kapatid ko sa Hospital, pinayagan naman akong makaalis. Hindi ko rin kasi makontact si Jace kanina dahil sa nagmamadali akong umalis naiwan ko pa ata yung cellphone ko." saad ko sabay kapa sa aking bulsa. Sasagot pa sana si Bry nang marinig namin ang boses ng kapatid ko.. "Kuya" pagtawag nito. ********** RUBY JANE JIMENEZ I came back in Philippines yesterday because dad wants me to spend my break here and actually, I have other reasons why I came back. Today I'm just walking around the city just to spend time. Then I heard my phone ringing and saw my father calling. I was about to answer the call but someone ran into me as his big body made me almost fall down, luckily I'm not wearing high heels or else my butt have already met the dirty pavement. I was about to yell at him for not looking on his way but what I saw shocked me. Oh my gosh! It's him! "I'm sorry miss!" He quickly apologize and keep bowing infront of me while I just stare at him in daze. "Pasensya na po talaga!" he once again said then run, leaving me there speechless. It's really him Oh My Goshh! I'm just standing there staring at his back, rushing to somewhere I don't know. When I get to my senses, I notice something on my side and when I looked at it, it's a phone. I think luck is on my side because I'm sure it was his phone. A big smile was plastered on my face but then my phone rang again getting me out of my daze. "Hello Dad" I answered, silently happy but instead of my father's voice, I heard another familiar voice. It's my cousin/best friend Jace. "Hello RJ, Is that you?? Are you really home? Ba't di mo sinabi sa akin at ako ang sumundo sa'yo. Come on let's hang out today!" He enthusiastically greeted "Jace can you lower your voice! You're on speaker, you're embarrassing me. I thought you're busy so I didn't contact you. Hey why are you using Dad's phone?" "I'm sorry, I just miss my dear cousin! You know it's been a while since you came here and I'll make time for you naman. I visited uncle today to check if you are really here but then he said you went out. I was about to call you but I remembered my phone got smashed this morning that's why I borrowed Uncle's phone" he explained. Jace is a first cousin of mine and he's a year older than me, His father and my father are brothers and he's the closest one to me even though we are on opposite gender. He was my protector when I was being bullied when we were kids. "Napwakabworara mo kasi" I said seemingly having a twisted tongue making my cousin laugh. Half of my life I grow up in the states and I was actually more comfortable using English. "Your tagalog accent is really funny, pfffttt, hahaaha!" "Tssk, Stop it!" "Okay, Hahaaha sorryy! But cous I want you to come with me and help me buy a new phone and also we're going to eat some chicken! Your treat!" He said as I rolled my eyes. This guy, how dare him let me pay for his food. "Duhh! Aren't you the man between us" I said sarcastically. I only heard him laugh on the other side. But nonetheless, I still asked where will we meet as we bid our goodbye. Today, I was supposed to visit the coffee Shop where "He" is working to at least see a glimpse of him for a while but I think I didn't have to because I just saw him running in another way. Maybe I'll just really go meet up with my cousin. I started to walk because my destination is just near as I kept the phone in my pocket, I'll decide what I'm going to do with this later. I'm in all smile while walking and some people are looking at me with weird looks, they might be thinking that I'm crazy but I don't care. And with this beautiful face, do I look like a crazy person? I'm just simply happy because I met the man I've been wanting to see for years. I think this is destiny!
