“WHAT DO YOU mean you know where he could've been?” Silence engulfed between us. I wanna know, because how come he knows where he could've been? He opened his mouth and hope slowly crawled my system.
“I know where we could find him, but not literally know where he is now.”
“But hold on a sec. You just scolded me a week ago that Sam isn't real, and now all of a sudden you're telling me you know where he is? Are you just saying that so we could still remain friends?”
“N-No! What I've been trying to tell you is true. It's just that... something happened. I can't explain it, but once we head back to my house, I can tell it you in detail.”
“But you're supposed to stay at the hospital as the Doctor told me. Paano na yan?”
“Oh... I forgot about that. Sorry, no matter how much I wanted to help you right now, looks like we need to wait a little longer. I'm really sorry. I hope you won't suspect this as an excuse, just give me time to heal first... if only I wasn't severely injured.”
“Ano bang nangyari? Nahulog ka ba sa bangin? Pinagtripan ng tambay?”
He sighed. “I really don't want to talk about it right now. But... I promise that this will not take long. I will try my best to heal as fast as I could.”
“It's fine. Don't rush things. I can wait for you as long as what you're talking about is true.”
“Just... trust me.”
MASWERTE SIYA AT wala akong trust issues. But as time gone by, my patience are growing thin. He said that he's going to meet me after three days, but it's been a week him not showing up. Muntik ko na siyang sugurin at pasabugin ang bahay buti na lang at nag-text siya sa akin na in-extend daw ang pahinga niya dahil malala pala talaga ang fracture niya. Ngayon, magkikita kami sa bahay niya at papunta na ako roon ngayon. Sinabi pa nga niya na siya na raw maghahatid sa akin, pero naalala ko na injured siya at kailangan pa rin ng pahinga kaya pinasend ko na lang ang address.
Nang makarating doon, medyo nagtataka ako dahil hindi ito katulad ng nakita ko sa panaginip ko. Ibang-iba. Kung ang naroon ay magarbo, dito naman ay katamtaman lang. It wasn't as pleasing in the eye as I saw it before... but anyway, that doesn't matter. Nakita ko rin agad si Qen sa sofa. And as I observed his whole familiarity, something changed his physique and I don't know exactly where.
“Hey...”
Nagulat siya na narito na ako. “Oh... hey. You made it. Hindi ka ba nahirapan papunta rito?”
“Hindi naman. Anyway, kamusta pala yung fracture mo?”
“Okay naman. Medyo pwede na pero mag-ingat pa rin daw. By the way, naghanda ako rito ng mga tinapay. Are you hungry by any chance?”
“No, thank you. Alam kong alam mo na hindi pagkain ang nirating ko rito sa bahay mo.”
He sighed. “Right... come and follow me.” I obliged and we head upstairs of his house. I felt the silence between us but tried to make a conversation.
“Bakit pala mag-isa ka lang dito? Ang Mama mo?”
“Ibang bansa, as usual...”
“It must be hard for you, huh... hindi ko nga kaya na mawalay sa Papa at Kuya ko.”
“You have some relative din sa ibang bansa... ang Ate mo.”
“Well, nakakasama ko naman sina Papa kaya siguro kahit nami-miss ko si Ate, e, okay lang din naman.”
“Hmm...”
Silence once again engulfed us pero I didn't do anything to break it anymore. Hinayaan ko na lang habang nilalakad namin ang destinasyon. We came across with a couple of rooms until we reached a certain door. His room, I guess.
