-recap-

Kim: Pero ma, saan mo nakuha yang mga inadvise mo sa akin? Parang may pinaghuhugutan ka ah.

Celine: well, to tell you the truth, I was The Gerald before and your Frank was The Kim. So I know what he feels. (^_^)

Kim: Wow! (O_O) I never knew.

Celine: oh sha sige. Matulog ka na, if you get hungry he food is in the ref just ask Mamang to reheat it ok. Goodnight princess.

Kim: Goodnight mom.

-end of recap-

It has already been a week and there is still no sign of Gerald and because of that Kim is still worried and bothered.

The whole barkada is at there hang out place chatting and laughing but there is someone who is just quiet.

Maja: girls, napapansin niyo bang isang linggo ng ganyan si Kim?

Erich: paanong ganyan?

Empress: hindi mob a pansin Erich? Palagi siyang tahimik at tulala.

Mel: oo nga eh. I am getting worried. Hindi na healthy para sa kanya ang ganyan. Ni hindi nga niya alam na pinag-uusapan na natin siya eh.

Beauty: Ano kayang problema ni Kim? Dati naman pag may problema sinasabi niya agad.

Mel: tanungin na nga natin. Ayaw ko ng tumagal pa na ganito si Kim.

All of them looked at Kim.

Mel: Kim…

There was no answer from Kim.

Maja: hoy Kim…

And again there was no response. So the barkada decided to yell.

BARKADA: KIM!

With that, Kim was startled and looked at her friends.

Kim: (O_O) oh? Bakit? Maka sigaw naman kayo. Anu bay an.

Maja: Eh kasi naman po! Kanina ka pa naming tinatawag at kinakausap.

Kim: (O_O) tinatawag niyo ako? Ay sorry, hindi ko napansin. May iniisip lang ako.

Mel: Wala ka na naman sa sarili mo Kim. Isang linggo nay an ah. Ano bang problema mo?

Kim: (_ _) sorry talaga.

Erich: Kim, sorry ka ng sorry, kung sinasabi mo na lang ang problema eh di baka matulungan ka pa naming. You can tell us anything Kim. You know that right?

Kim: Sorry talaga. Pero wala lang to. Medyo pagod lang ako nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Empress: Yan lang ba talaga ang dahilan Ate? Para kasing may tinatago ka sa amin eh.

Kim: Wala talaga. Wag na kayong mag-alala ok. (^_^)

Beauty: ok sabi mo eh.

Erich: Teka, maiba ako. Alam mob a kung nasaan si Gerald?

Kim: (O_O) a-ano?

Erich: oh ayan ka na naman. Wala ka na naman sa sarili mo. Tinatanong ko kung alam mo kung nasan si Gerald. Kasi diba isang linggo na yung wala.

Mel: Oo nga, ang tagal na niyang wala. It’s not like him to miss class for 1 week. Diba?

Kim: ah, eh.. ano kasi… Hindi ko alam eh. Sige alis na ako. May gagawin pa pala ako.

Barkada: Bye!

Immediately Kim left her friends which made the barkada more curious with the way Kim is acting.

Empress: tingnan mo yun. Bigla na lang umaalis.

Beauty: oo nga eh. May gagawin? Nyek nyek niya. I don’t believe her. I really think there is something going on that she is not telling us about.

Maja: Why not sundan natin siya para malaman natin kung ano ba talaga ang meron.

BARKADA: GAME!

The whole barkada went after Kim. They followed her but still making sure that she doesn’t notice. With the current state Kim is, it was not hard for them to not be noticed.

As Kim was walking by the corridors, she came across a group of girls which was led by no other than Lyda. Kim noticed them and said something, but the barkada was too far and Kim was speaking softly that they couldn’t hear what she just said.

Maja: ano kaya yung sinasabi ni Kim kay Lyda.

Mel: oo nga. At bakit ngiting-ngiti naman itong Lyda na ito?

Empress: teka, ayan na magsasalita na yung Lyda.

They continued listening but the only thing they got was; “You did the right thing.”

Maja: Teka. Anong right thing ang sinasabi niya?

Mel smacked Maja’s head.

Mel: eh bakit mo sa amin tinatanong eh pare pareho lang tayong walang maintindihan. Hello, magkakasama po tayo.

Maja: sorry naman. Pwedeng mag sorry?

Empress: tumigil nga kayo. Ayan na oh, umaalis na si Lyda at yung mga alipores niya.

All of them looked at the group of Lyda as they were leaving.

Maja: teka! Asan na si Kim?

Everyone turned to where Kim was and saw no one there.

Mel: Hala! Oo nga! Asan nay un?

Beauty: kasi naman e! Ang gulo-gulo niyo hindi tuloy nakita. (-_-)

Empress: sorry ha. Kung makapag salita ka parang hindi ka magulo ah.

Erich: guys, itigil na natin ito. Mukha na tayong mga tanga.

Mel: eh paano si Kim?

Erich: kaya na niya sarili niya. Malaki nay un.

Maja: ah basta! Hahanapin naming si Kim.

Erich: ok fine! Go ahead! Basta hindi na ako sasama sa inyo.

Erich left while the others tried to look for Kim.

On Gerald’s side…

Gerald has been in Tagaytay for a week now. Within that week, he asked to be left alone which includes asking Mang Cardo not to drive for him. Even the hotel staff was not to bother Gerald like entering to his room for room cleaning. He also told his parents not to call him but he promised that he will be the one to call them just to make his mom feel at ease.

Nobody knew where Gerald goes to. There were even nights when Gerald didn’t come home.

All of a sudden, Mang Cardo got a call saying that Gerald was at the hospital. Hearing the news, he immediately went to the hospital to check on Gerald. He saw him lying on a hospital bed with a bandage on his head and a cast on his right foot.

Mang Cardo: Gerald! Anong nangyari sayo? Bakit ka nagkaganyan?

Gerald: oh Mang Cardo. Andito pala kayo. Paano niyo po nalamang andito ako?

Mang Cardo: May tumawag sa akin kanina. Teka nga, ano ba ang nangyari?

Gerald: (^_^) nakipag motor race po ako eh.

Mang Cardo: (O_O) motor race? Eh anong nangyari? Nabangga ka?

Gerald: (^_^) dumulas lang po yung motor ko ng konti, tapos ayon, nahulog ako, gumulong and here I am.

Mang Cardo: Ano ka ba namang bata ka. Mag-ingat ka nga sa susunod. Lagot ako sa nanay mo nito eh.

Gerald: Wag po kayong mag-alala Mang Cardo. Ok lang naman ako eh. Saka hindi naman po kayo mapapagalitan kung hindi niya malalaman right? (^_^) Secret na lang po natin ito.

Mang Cardo: Hay nako Gerald. Paminsan hindi ko masakyan ang mga trip mo sa buhay. Oh sha, may kailangan ka ba? Lalabas ako sandali para kausapin yung doctor.

Gerald: Wala nah o akong kailangan Mang Cardo. Sige po.

After that, Mang Cardo went to see the doctor to ask some details about Gerald’s condition.

Mang Cardo: Kamusta naman po yung pagka bagsak nung amok o?

Doctor: wala naman pong masyadong injuries bukod dun sa bali niya sa paa at yung sugat sa ulo niya. Pero under observation pa din po siya dahil baka po may mga symptoms pang lumabas lalo na at tinamaan ang ulo niya.

Mang Cardo: ganun po ba. Kailan naman po kaya siya makakalabas?

Doctor: pag wala na tayong nakitang abnormalities within 24hours pwede na siyang lumabas. Pero kailangan pa din niya ipa check from time to time yung paa niya.

Mang Cardo: Salamat po doc.

Doctor: sige maiwan ko na kayo diyan. Titingnan ko lang yung iba kong pasyente.

When the doctor left, Mang Cardo decided to call someone that would surely help Gerald get into the right state of mind and make him recover faster.

Mang Cardo ended the call and went inside Gerald’s room.

Gerald: oh Mang Cardo. Ano pong sabi ng doctor? Makakalabas na daw po ba ako?

Mang Cardo: under observation ka pa daw, dahil sa tama mo sa ulo. Pero pag wala naman daw na symptoms na lumabas maari ka ng lumbas.

Gerald: maigi naman ho kung ganon. Ayaw kong magtagal sa ospital eh. (^_^)

Mang Cardo: Dapat kasi nag-iingat ka para wala ka ditto sa ospital at walang dahilan para magtagal ka ditto. Teka, may nararamdaman ka bang kakaiba?

Gerald: Wala naman po Mang Cardo. Medyo kumikirot lang yung sugat sa ulo ko pero bukod dun wala naman. (^_^)

Mang Cardo: Maigi naman kung ganun. Sige balik muna ako sa hotel para kumuha ng damit at gamit mo.

Gerald: Ingat po kayo.

Then, Mang Cardo left Gerald in his room. After an hour Mang Cardo was back with his things.

Gerald: Salamat po Mang Cardo.

Mang Cardo: Wala yun. Siya nga pala Gerald. Mamaya aalis ako. May aasikasuhin lang ako saglit. Ok lang ban a maiwan ka ditto?

Gerald: ok lang naman po sa akin yun. Kaya ko naman po. Hingi na lang ako ng tulong sa nurse kung kelan ko ng kahit ano.

Mang Cardo: O sige, ibibilin kita sa mga nurse. Gerald, sana pagbalik ko, ok ka na.

Gerald: Ano po yun?

Mang Cardo: hala, ako ay aalis na. Ayusin mo Gerald.

Gerald: oo naman po. Ingat po kayo.

Mang Cardo left the room then he turned around to look at a person running towards him.

Mang Cardo: Buti naman nakarating ka agad. Pumasok ka na sa loob. Aalis lang ako sandali. Ikaw na muna ang bahala sa kanya.

The person held the door knob and made a deep breath, then slowly opened the door. Gerald heard the door open.

Gerald: Mang Cardo, bakit po bumalik kayo? May nalaimutan po ba kayo?

The person went inside and got to a spot where Gerald could see clearly.

???: Ge…

As soon as Gerald heard the voice, he sat up straight and turned to where the voice came from.

Gerald: K-Kimmy…

And there she was standing in front of him… The girl who he loved, loves and will ever love… Kim. His Kimmy.

….

enjoy XD
