Silent times together

There was this time when everything seemed to fall in place... I think this was one of the two that I've gone this near.

After months, weeks and days of being close to her, there was this cold war going on between her and a very close friend of ours. I was at her side the whole time because I knew what happened and well I know she was not to be blamed but maybe partly because of her passive nature.

A chance of knowing her more came, her mom had undergone an operation and so I thought of accompanying her in her most terrifying moments. Our barkada that time planned to go out and sweat out by doing some extreme sports, I made excuses to them just to be in the hospital.

I went there, so cold na kinakabahan, I was a bit shaking while bringing some fresh flowers for her mom. When I went there, her sister was in the lobby who just arrived too. I knew her sister, and she knew me... we were textmates actually. hehe Her sister wasn't sure if it was the room and so we were at the door step and then we knock. No one answered or opened the door but we entered still.

Jica (Jigh - kah) arrived with her tita. She was surprised though upon seeing me but not totally because i texted her that i'll be coming but she didn't expect that i'd be bringing something aside from my lame excuse of returning some notes i borrowed.

The operation has just ended daw and she was talking about what happened while the operation was on the process, she wasn't feeling well daw but it was okey especially that her tita was around. She was saying that kawawa daw mom nya and the spinal anesthesia was scary. I was just there listening the whole time. She then introduced me to her tita, the bestfriend of her mom. Her tita was the mom pala of one of the crush ng campus in our school (highschool/college), i would have not known til she said so. I just gave out a smile to her tita, and my mind started to say something... "it doesn't seemed like, she was her mom". The mom was so simple totally different from her daughter.

A knock on the door caught jica's attention and she then stood up to open it. It was the wardman, he was assisting jica's mom as she was transfered from the recovery room to the private room we were in. I just smiled when she arrived as she saw me and Jica introduced me "Ma, si yuri po". It was such a weird feeling, and it was just not so me I was totally silent. Her mom smiled in return while jica was scanning her mom's phone for her mom to read the new messages. Her mom saw the flowers on top of the cabinet and ask Jica where it was from. She then told her that it was from me and her mom thank me and said it was nice. Well I trust my taste, I know I have a good one... it was a set of callalily (all white). I smiled.

Uhm I only saw her mom once prior to this incident. We were heading to get a ride that night when we passed by her mom. We weren't really introduced back then it was only in the hospital where I had a better look at her mom and her mom to me but it seemed her mom knew me because she was makwento to me about jica.

I was there until it was already dark. Her mom's friend then arrived and told Jica to come with him to buy food and I was also asked by Jica to go with them and so I went. I was at the backseat and Jica was in the passenger seat. They were talking a lot about something and me, I was lurking at the back trying to find any that can catch my attention. They seemed so close and enjoyed their talking while me I was busy kinukulit lang ang phone ko, running through my contacts, checking the messages on my inbox and that's it.

Then the car suddenly stopped... I was asked by her tito to stay inside the car while they get the food. I said okey, while inside with nothing to do,I found myself looking through the tinted window and it seemed they were making kulitan to each other, what a sad life i thought... I was left alone. Not too long when they went back to the car bringing the food and her tito then asked me how was I and I replied in one phrase "okey lang" again.
He then said taht he thought I was a cousin of Jica and I just smiled hearing that while on my mind.... "Kaya na man pala ganun nlang xa kakumportableng iwan ako at pabantasyan sasakyan nya" i thought. We then went back to the hospital.

I was quite uncomfortable to be there, it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo0000000 awkward. Pipilitin kang kumain.... jahe kaya yun but okey din c Jica nagseserve eh. hahahaha. After I left her mom texted me and thanked me for dropping by (dropping by pa kaya yung almost 5 hours?)
and for the flowers I brought da... she really loved it daw and appreciate the gesture. I was surprised by the text coming from her mom and I replied with all modesty and humility. hehe "you're welcome po. get well soon". I then texted Jica nah her mom texted and sabi ko kakahiya namn yun.

2 days after that I texted Jica, I was thinking why don't I spend my time studying with her while binabantayan nya mom nya but she replied na her mom was already discharged. So sabi ko okey next time nlang.

Then one morning her mom texted me, she was asking if i can accompany her daughter to do the grocery because she can't do it. I was delighted with that, fluttered to be honest and sa isip ko sabi ko "Naks! ang lakas ko sa mommy nya grabeh!", then i texted her nah yun nga her mom asked me to and reply nya was kapal daw ng mom nya to text me and so i defended by saying okey lang namn yun.

Ayun we had a discussion through text a little and na papayag din. So we went to robinsons to do the grocery, she was asked to buy batteries for her younger brother's toy and we had discussion on what battery to buy kc sabi nya rectangular daw ung lalagyan pero kc ung voltage na kailangan was that of the big round one. After a bit of an arguement we ended up not buying any batteries. I carryied the bags of course buti nalang maarte xa at nag taxi kami pauwi. nyahahaha it was heavy but it was fine. Her mom was there at home and Jica kept on nagging, nakakahiya daw kc. I was wearing a smile silently while keeping myself busy lurking around. I help her then to take out what we got from the grocery, and i said to her na okey lang tlga yun but she insisted na di tlga okey yun.

So i changed the topic, sabi ko saan na yung toy tingnan namin what kind of battery bah, when i saw it rectangular nga lalagyan pero i knew then na yung round on tlga kailangan... when we opened it i lauged in mind and look at her with a question mark (sarcasm) on the face... hehe.. then i said to her na sabi ko na nga ba yung round, then she was silent.

Then I waited for her while watching television because she was inside her mom's room, I didn't care that time how long she was inside since i was watching ung sa UAAP cheerdance competition.

Then she went out of the room saying "Yuri oh!" refering to her kilay coz her mom reshaped it(sorry don't know the right term)... sabi ko okey lang yan... and at the back of mind "maganda ka parin namn eh". So I went on with what I was watching when she said that we should be going kc we have to attend our class pa. So I turned off the television and off we go with her mom saying thank you to me and me as usual smiled.

During that time parang xa lang tlga focus ko, walang barkada. Then there was this activity in the covered courts when i saw my other kabarkada they were asking me how was I and questions that left me speechless as in literally i don't know what to say more, I dont know what more excuses should i say just to cover what kept me busy. I am a private person and i know how ironic it is when i am writing everything now.

Anyway, without them knowing what was going on between me and Jica, they told me about the what everyone was up to and to my surprise...
