i’m not writing this post for the purpose of updating this blog. it’s just because everything that happened yesterday is so note worthy.
i woke up to get ready for pe. my body felt sore and i was feeling feverish. i took a bath anyways. my aunt asked me to stay a little while for breakfast.
after i ate some bread, i set off for school. i was feeling fine that morning.. so i went on with pe. soccer was cool. but i didn’t want to strain myself just in case. when it was time to get home, paul went with me on the jeep ride to the station. the lrt ride was awfully stuffy. the rain was so packed. i can’t find anything to hold on to. i felt dizzy and was losing my eyesiight. i finally asked the lady sitting in front of me if i could sit. they obliged and slid sidewards. i had cold sweat, and i felt color drain from my face. the people on our side of the carriage was stirred by the fact that there was a girl feeling ill. i felt a woman’s hand touch my neck and she confirmed that i had fever. people were asking me if i have eaten already. i said yes. even i f didn’t. but i think meals were beside the point. the fact that i went to pe with a fever was stupid and i know it. they asked me were i live. i said i still need to ride the mrt to boni. the lady sitting to my right gave me her stored value card so i didn’t have to line up anymore. a lady from my left gave me some mint candy. then i heard the old man talking to somebody in front of me. i looked up and saw a security guard. the man told the guard to escort me out of the train.
we arrived at my stop. the guard waited for everyone else to alight the train before he helped me out. they made me sit on the guard’s stand. the lady guard had to signal the train first before she could attend to me. she sounded like she was new to this. she had to call another lady guard.. they put some menthol oil on my forehead and my hands. the train from the other side of the platform went away already. there were so many people from that side waiting. i tried not to look because it just make me feel more sick.
finally, the lade asked me to register my details on their log book. then they asked me if i wasokay already. i just wanted to go home. i didn’t want to risk it.. but i felt like i have enough energy to reach home.
when i reached home, i greeted my cousins with a smile, drank a glass of water. They asked if i already ate, and i said yes. Again, even if i didn’t. I felt like i was gonna throw up anything i eat anyway. i just didn’t want them suspecting anything. Spare the questions please. I went upstairs to change then went straight to bed.
That night, kuya mark brought dinner and some fruits. he even brought me meds early this morning. i really appreciate that. it made me feel we haven’t lost him after all. i even told him “kuya, muntik na ako himatayin sa tren kahapon”.He looked mad at me for a split second. “Sabi ko na eh” he said. i felt like i wasn’t far from home anymore. the way my mother gets mad at me whenever i get horribly sick out of my hardheadednes.
i wanted to go to school today. pero lahat sila inaway ako. so there. strike one. ._.
