Lost Without You

MY STORY CONTAINS TYPOGRAPHICAL AND GRAMATICAL ERRORS, YOU CAN CORRECT ME FIF NECESSARY HAPPY READING!! -------------- PROLOUGUE "Where are the patient's relatives?", I tried to smile as I ask the nurse. I can see that she's really worried about the patients. They've been caught in an accident. Two of them were pregnant, I guess, hindi pa alam nung mga boyfriends nila. As I walk out of the ER, I felt my heart beating rapidly. But why? There's nothing wrong, I didn't even drink a cup of coffee today. It is indeed a busy day. Sana naman bukas makapag pahinga na ako, 4 days na 'kong walang tulog. As I read the charts, there were two familiar names. They're my schoolmates back then? Or a senior? I'm not sure. "Hi! kayo ba 'yong relatives nung mga—", napatigil ako dahil sa mga lalaking nakita ko. 'Shocks! Bakit? Anong ginagawa nila dito?' After 12 years we met again. In an unexpected situation. "Hi! Uhm, the patients are stable. By the way, two of them were pregnant. Are you guys, aware?". Kuya Calvin starts to say some words. "Huh? Athena, sino sa tatlo?", his eyes were shining. "uh? Lia and Pia Castro.", mag-kapatid nga pala 'tong dalawang 'to. "Congrats sa'tin bro!", masayang sambit ni kuya Galvin. "Congrats.", rinig kong sabi ni Ali. My ex. Well, we're basically not in a relationship back then. But, we had same feelings. "Congrats sa inyo! Woah, after 12 years... We met again, accidentally.", I said as I tried to fake a smile towards them. Yes, I'm happy to know that their girlfriend's that were both pregnant are safe. But, you know why I feel like, I'm not in the mood? It's him, after ignoring me after he said goodbye, we met, and isa yata dito ay girlfriend niya. I loved this man for years. You know that feeling when you can't move on and yet, you still haven't after 12 years... "So, kamusta?" I asked. He still ignores me. Whatever, I don't need him to answer me anyway. "Okay naman kami doc!" kuya Martin said. Natawa naman ako. Dati pinag-uusapan lang namin ang mga pangarap namin. But look at us now. We all look professionals. "Hahaha! Athena nalang kuya Martin. So, how's love life? Sana all ha.", pabiro 'kong sambit. "Sus? Ikaw? Sa ganda mong yan? After mo 'ko i-reject dati? Wala kang boyfriend?", kuya Calvin asked. "seryoso wala, after nung...", pinutol ko na ang sinabi 'ko nang makita 'ko ang mga mata niya na nakatitig sakin. Tinitigan 'ko siya pabalik at tinaasan ng kilay, he's still taller than me, and I hate it. "Oh Kalma tayo oh! Walang titigan baka matunaw.", pabirong sabi ni kuya Martin. Eto talaga ang pinaka mahilig mang-asar Haha. "ow." Sabi pa nung dalawang mokong. "Uh? Nag dinner na kayo? Tara! My treat." "Yun oh! Parang dati 'di ka pa pinapalabas ng bahay kaya 'di ka nakakasama sakin.", pang-aasar pa ni kuya Galvin Totoo naman kasi, hindi ako pinapalabas ng walang kasama, at saka lalaki sila 'no. "Wait lang haha! Mag papalit muna ako.", 'pag papaalam ko sakanila. I'm still wearing scrubs. Nang makatalikod ako, may narinig akong nagsalita. "I miss you, Athe." Humarap ako, pangalan 'ko 'yung sinambit, malamang. I still can't believe. After 12 years of ignoring me ngayon 'ko nalang ulit narinig mga salitang 'yon sakan'ya. Tinitigan nila Kuya Martin, Calvin at Galvin, si Aloysius. He's the one who said that words... I'm still standing in front of the ER's door, facing him. There were no emotions written on my face. I can feel a hot sensation in my eyes, a tear. Tumalikod ako at pumunta sa station ko upang mag-palit ng damit. Kapag bukas 'ko ng pinto, I saw him. His cold stares that gave me goosebumps, all over my arms. "What a-are you doing here?" I asked. "Gusto 'ko lang tignan kung safe ka or may iba kang kasama sa loob, mukha namang wala. Mauuna na ko." "Wait for me! Sabay na tayo!" Dahil may heels ang suot 'kong sapatos, sa pag-habol sa kan'ya ako natapilok. He catched me! Oh shoot! Athena, c'mon! Don't fall for him once again. I don't want something to get complicated again! May girlfriend siya. Tama, may girlfriend siya. Umiwas ka... I don't want to waste my tears again... I don't want to shed UNWANTED TEARS.
