LOGINADRIENNE I haven't been able to sit still for a while now. I am fidgeting in my seat. I’ve let out several deep breaths, desperately trying to calm myself down. When Tita George told me that she had called Daddy and informed him about my sister’s condition, I immediately went cold and became extremely anxious. I emailed Mommy four days ago , but I don’t think she has read it yet because I still haven’t received any response from her up until now. Five days have passed, and thank God, my twin is now stable. She has also been transferred to a private room. The attending doctor was also amazed by how quickly my twin has improved. According to him, this is the first time he has ever encountered a patient like my twin. He said that my twin is truly fighting to recover and fighting her way back to us. Tita Kailey arranged for her to stay in a VVIP room, which I didn’t object to anymore because I knew that there, she would receive proper care and be closely monitored by the doctors and
ADRIENNE I woke up alone in the room. The ceiling and walls were plain and bare white. The window was closed, but the curtain remained slightly pulled to the side, allowing me to clearly see the darkness outside. Gabi na. My throat felt dry, and I could feel the swelling around my eyes. I was momentarily blinded by the harsh light of the fluorescent bulb, which was neatly and securely mounted on the ceiling. I breathed a heavy sigh as I remembered what had happened before darknes consume me. I abruptly sat up and let my eyes wander around the room. I could hear the sound of running water, as if a faucet had been left on inside the bathroom. I quickly threw off the blanket that covered half of my body and was about to get up from the bed when the bathroom door suddenly opened. Tita Shanaia came out, drying her hands with a small towel. She was wearing a lavender button down shirt, sleeves rolled up to her elbows and a white cargo pants. Her hair was neatly pulled up, showing he
ADRIENNE Growing up, I got used to searching and longing for the warmth and love that my own family denied giving me. I got used to being alone. Every time I fall, I am the only one finding a way to stand back up, even when the impact of my fall was incredibly heavy. And whenever I fail at things, especially in terms of my academics, my family comes in full force to rub in my face how weak I am. How useless I was. How stupid I was made. Yet, when I succeed at something, not a single person in my family comes forward to congratulate me nor celebrate with me. So, in my 18 years of existence, I used to seek validation and warmth that my own family refused to give me all throughout my youth. I waited long enough, that is why I just woke up one day realizing that I'd already stopped and tired looking for warmth, validation, and love. Accepting that I would never experience them and maybe, maybe never will. It was not that I accepted that no one would ever give me those things, but becaus
ADRIENNE When I opened my eyes, a throbbing headache welcomed my morning. It felt as if my skull was being hammered from the intense pain, causing me to groan repeatedly while my hands continuously massaged my throbbing temples. My throat also feels as though no liquid has touched my lips for days, so dry that I almost groan with every swallow I did. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to ease, somehow, the hammering pain in my skull. Pipikit pikit ang mga mata kong umupo sa ibabaw ng kama at sumandal sa headboard. Naalala kong nagpakalasing pala ako kagabi ng mag isa dito sa kuwarto. I remembered leaving the empty beer cans on the floor, so my eyes looked down toward where I remembered leaving them last night, but my brow furrowed when I saw that the floor was clean, with no single trace of my mess from last night. I tilted my head to my left side, pilit hinahanap ang mga kalat ko kagabi ngunit walang mahanap ang mga mata ko. Hanggang sa napunta ang mga mata ko sa bedside table sa
ADRIENNE The bottle had spun several times already. A bottle of whiskey was also almost empty now. I found myself staring at the fire in the center, dancing along with the laughter and teasing among the six of us. Blending with the noise of every laughter and jest was the endless crashing of the ocean waves against the quiet sand. I didn't even notice how fast time passed by, the night was getting deeper, and our circle started getting louder in each second passing by. Not because of the endless teasing, but because the effect of the alcohol was already kicking into everyone's system now. "Ayy wow nakasampung ikot na ang bote pero ngayon lang tumapat sayo bakla. Congrats kasali kana sa laro ante." Sabrina beamed. She was giggling and laughing. She'd been calling me names countless times already. She was laughing her lungs out. Her cheeks are now red dahil nakadalawang inom na ito ng whiskey. Hindi pa naman shot glass ang gamit namin. We're using water glass. And it's quite larg
ADRIENNE The quiet hum of the running air conditioner and the sunlight peeking from the closed balcony curtains greeted me when I opened my eyes. I blinked a few times until my eyes got the right light and the clarity of my vision. Disoriented, my brows knitted in to complete confusion. Ang ayos at porma ng kuwarto ay iba. The paint on the room's walls, the color and design of the curtains are far different from what my eyes have been used to during my three days here at the hotel. Natigilan ako at napatitig sa sahig na ngayon ay natatakpan ng kulay pulang carpet na kahapon lamang ay kulay abo. My brows creases even more that it almost meet. Then the happenings from yesterdays event came crashes back into my mind. The laughter I'd shared with the girls and the woman I have love most as we enjoy talking with the ivatans, the activities we'd incredibly enjoyed pulls me back to my senses. My lips curved a beautiful smile. Ang mga tawa niya na nagsilbing musika sa akin ng maghap
