My Love, Annie 17: White surroundings
Nagising ako dahil sa kirot sa bandang balikat ko at dahil na rin sa mga narinig kong mumunting boses na tila nagtatalo pa sa paligid ko. I shoot my eyes open and met with blinding beaming lights and white surroundings, the ceiling, the wall paint, everything is painted in white, and it took me seconds before I realized that I'm currently in a hospital. I silently grunted in pain after I tried moving and that's when I found Elijah's worried gaze darted upon me,"Hey.. thank God you're finally awake.." he mouthed before he stood up and leaned forward to check up on me, mahigpit ang kapit niya sa kanang kamay ko habang masuyo akong tinitingnan.Dali-dali namang lumapit sa akin ang dalawa ko pang kaibigan para tingnan din ako. I checked down myself and saw that my left shoulder and arm is covered with protection cast yet I can still feel little pinch of pain underneath."Omg! Salamat naman at gising ka na!" masaya at medyo naiiyak na sabi ni Jemi sa gilid ko."Gosh! We're so worried abou
My Love, Annie 18: Missed
"Let's talk," tipid kong sabi habang nakatitig sa kanya, Iginala niya muna ang mata niya sa buong kwarto at tila nagda-dalawang isip saka siya maingay na nagbuntong hininga bago marahang tumango. Tahimik siyang naupo muli sa upuang nasa gilid ko, at kung kanina ay isang kamay lang niya ang nakahawak sa kanang kamay ko ngayon ay dalawa na, na para bang doon siya kumukuha ng lakas ng loob niya, nakayuko lamang siya at nakatitig sa kamay naming magkahawak. I breathed out a heavy sigh before I spoke. "Thank you for all of these, Eli. Thankyou for coming in that night, thank you for saving me.." I mouthed in almost whisper, From our entwined hands below he slowly moved his eyes to meet my gaze. There's a lot of words unsaid that he's trying so hard to hide as I stare back at his doe eyes. Again, I sighed upon seeing his gloomy expression so I gently squeeze his hand on mine. "But.. I know what you're thinking right now Eli, alam kong sinisisi mo ang sarili mo and it's not right," H
My Love, Annie 19: Home
Kinabukasan ay maayos na kaming nakakapag-usap ni Elijah, unlike yesterday which is he's too careful and afraid to say things that might trigger my panic attacks, today we're now kind of relaxed. Sa tingin ko ay nakatulong din yung pag-uusap namin last night. "It's your fault for putting me here in VIP room Eli, now don't try to argue with me. We'll pay the bill with my card." sabi ko dahil kanina pa kami nag-uusap about sa billing. I told him to pay it with my card but he'd just straight up saying 'no'. And it honestly doesn't sit right with me. This is a private hospital let alone that he chose a VIP room for me, surely the bill will have a big stroke on his account. "I told you not to think about it Antoinette, ang kulit mo naman talaga." nangungunsumi niyang sabi, he looked so done with me. "This hospital is private Eli. And this room is so expensive, it will cost too much on your account, let's just use my card." I tried insisting but he just frowned at me.I won't let him s
My Love, Annie 20: Is it working?
"And now we're home," anunsyo ni Eli nang makapasok kami sa unit Niya habang itinutulak papasok ang dalawang maleta ko. A small pout appeared on my lips upon hearing him."I still can't believe that she could throw me away like that without listening to my explanations," naiiling kong Sabi at naglakad papuntang sofa, "Atleast we tried our best, it's not your fault that you have some narrow-minded and inconsiderate neighbors," he tried comforting me as he watched me plop myself down on his black sofa,I'm glad that I'm somewhat familiar and comfortable here in Eli's abode but of course, I can't disregard the fact that I'm slightly embarrassed that I have to squeeze in here habang busy sa pag-aasikaso Sina Jemi sa paghahanap ng bagong apartment para sa akin; indeed I'm surrounded by wonderful souls around me, truly I am blessed for having them. "I'm gonna fix my studio room tomorrow so that it can be your temporary room, in case you wanted some privacy for yourself," he added whi
My Love, Annie 21: Weakling, huh?
"Why?" Elijah asked me with both curiosity and worry in his eyes. I know it may sound stupid and unreasonable right at this moment, given that I'm in between of having panic attacks which are obviously caused by one and only Simon; but they can't blame me. I need answers and hindi ako matatahimik hanggat hindi ko iyon mismo naririnig kay Simon. For sure he has reasons, and I need to hear them. "I don't know. But I need to talk to him. I know it's not the best or wise decision to do right now given all the panic attacks and emotional stress he caused me, but I need to face him. No one's gonna help me to deal my own shits unless I do," pag amin ko. He sighed and looked away. "Fine. But you'll see him once you're done visiting your therapist. We still need to be sure that it won't affect your recovery," he concluded. I nodded and reached for his hand."Thank you so much Eli.." I mouthed and he just returned it with an upward smile. "As much as I dislike your request, I just can
My Love, Annie 22: You don't hurt the one you love.
Mag-iisang linggo na din akong nandito sa pamamahay ni Elijah. At kahit nga nakakapagod ang trabaho ko sa opisina ay akalain mong mamimiss ko rin pala ito ng sobra. Bagot na bagot na ako sa paulit ulit na panonood ng movie, paghiga-higa maghapon at nalinis ko na rin yata maski ang kasuluk-sulukan ng pamamahay ni Eli. Hindi bale, dalawang araw nalang naman at papasok na akong muli sa trabaho. Kahit nakakabwisit si Kairus ay akalain mo nakaka-miss din pala ang mokong na 'yon. But all in all, I was doing really fine habang nandito ako sa pangangalaga ni Eli. Akala ko noong una ay sobrang mahihirapan akong mag-adjust pero mali ako. Again, Elijah made sure that I'll be living comfortably here in his home, he made sure he's always there to check up on me from time to time. Kahit pa nga minsan ay busy siya sa trabaho niya ay nagagawa pa rin niyang maglaan ng oras para samahan ako sa mga kailangan kong gawin, kagaya na lamang ng pagpunta sa clinic para sa aking therapy for my PTSD. Though I'm
My Love, Annie 23: I know you so well
After my meeting with Simon’s mom, Elijah drove us back to his place. Both of us were silent and not daring to open our mouths to say anything. It’s been obvious that the talk didn’t turn out pretty well for me. I’m not blaming Tita Helen though, it’s just that my anxiety was really working up that made me react that way. Kahit noong makarating kami sa apartment niya ay hindi pa rin ako umiimik. I don’t know. I just don’t know what to say. All I want is to stay silent and let this night pass. Pagpasok ng apartment ay nagdire-diretso na ako sa aking kwarto. Yes, I already have my own room. Elijah managed to fix his studio and made it my room, despite his busy schedules. I was about to open my room but I was stopped after a subtle grasp on my wrist. “Hey.. wait.” Elijah called. So I bounce back and turn my neck to look at him. His eyes were worried and the obvious pity was seen in it. I sighed and looked away. “Look, I know and I understand that you don’t want to talk about it..
My Love, Annie 24: Pose for me
Sunday afternoon.“Are you really sure you’re okay going back to work?” tanong ulit ni Kairus. We were having a video call. Umismid naman ako at tinapunan siya ng tingin habang nagtitiklop ng aking mga damit. “Okay na nga ako Kai.” pagdidiin ko pa.“I don’t believe you. I can always talk to our boss to give you a few weeks more,” he offered again. Again, I rolled my eyes. “Thank you Kai, but I need to get back to work. I have bills to pay, nakakahiya na kay Elijah.” sabi ko pa.I heard him scoff kaya naman sinamaan ko siya ulit ng tingin. “For all I know, your best friend doesn’t mind having you there in his home.” “He sure doesn’t mind it at all but my pride says no.” I said as I walked back to the table and settled myself in front of my laptop.I smiled when I saw how Kairus’ face changed when I sat back and focused on him. He was outside, probably hanging out. Spending his day off in a cafe by the look of his background.“If you say so,” he muttered, “Anyway, I’ll send you l
