Semua Bab Wide Awake: Bab 31 - Bab 40

 Race's POV After the trekking, we went down on the beach. I like how the sun reflects on the sea surface. The heat didn't bother me either. I am just enjoying the view as the wind hits me. Doon kami pum'westo sa ilalim ng isang puno kung saan may lilim. I placed all my things on the sand and plopped down. "We go change our clothes. Be right back." Wika ni Trish saka hinila si Zena kung saan. May iba rin namang mga tao rito. May mga tourist din na nagkalat. There are rental cottages but we chose to stay on open field. It's free anyway. "Enjoy. I'll stay here. Babatanyan ko na lang ang

Race's POV I sneaked on my phone and disappointment got the shit of me. Wala pa rin kasing reply si Zena simula pa kagabi. She should have been preparing for school right now. How could she ignore my messages? Busy? No. It's not a valid reason. I won't take it. Hindi ko tuloy maiwasang makaramdam nang pagkatampo sa kanya. Nakalimutan niya na ako!I let a couple of deep sighs as I was walking down the corridors. I headed straight on my chair and sat down. Maingay sa loob ng klase. Wala pa kasi ang prof.Mayamaya pa'y dumating na rin si Lucas at naupo sa gilid ko."Man, where's Zena? Bakit hindi mo siya kasama?" I asked him."Tulog pa rin siya ,e. I didn't bother to wake her up since we had a tiring ride way back home from Batangas. Baka mamaya magising na rin 'yon at humabol na lang sa mga klase niya." Paliwanag ni Lucas.Okay. This isn't a good start of my day.

 Race's POV Time flies so fast. It's been a week since Zena fell asleep. Sad to say, up until now, there's no sign of her to wake up. I missed her so much. I am always sending her messages though I knew there's no one to reply on me. I kept on stalking her facebook account and wasn't getting bored viewing every picture of her posted on her facebook wall. Whenever I have some free time, I back read our past conversations. Sobrang nangungulila ako sa kanya. Sobra-sobra. Since I couldn't go to Lucas' house for some reason, they moved Zena to the hospital to supervise her condition. Nasabi kasi ng doktor na pwedeng ma-heart attack at huminto na lang bigla ang pagtibok ng puso ni Zena. I don't want to lose her. I don't want her to die. Our love story haven't starting yet it's about to e

  Race's POV   Gail shrugged her shoulders. She tried to hide the bitterness through another smile but I could see right through it how much she got disappointed about me.   She walked towards me and handed me the red box. Kinuha ko naman 'yon.   "Pasensiya na sa gulong ginawa ng mga magulang ko sa inyo ni Zena, Race." Yumuko siya upang takpan ang namamasang mga mata. "Take my gift as my peace offering. Hindi rin naman ako magtatagal. I just came here to drop the gift. I don't want to ruin your day. I know my presence causes you so much anger—"   "Stay."   Napaangat s

 Race's POV "Hey! Hands off him." Napalingon ako sa nagsalita. Gail looked at him as well. The way he stood, firm and professional. I know it was Lorenzo. Besides, I could smell his favorite perfume. Siya lang yata mag-isa? Teka? How did they know that I am here? I'm bit confused. Ramdam ko pa ang alak sa sistema ko. Gusto kong sumuka. Parang nagsisirko-sirko ang paningin ko. Hindi ko alam pero tila ba nagkabuhol-buhol na ang mga bituka sa 'king tiyan. Dang it! I won't drink alcohol next time! Sakit sa ulo. Inalalayan ako ni Lorenzo na makatayo. We started walking, guiding me on every
