Only You ??

Rosé's POV

Today is the day.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago tignan ang sarili ko sa salamin. This is my first time na malalayo ako sa pamilya ko, especially sa kapatid ko.

My eyes roamed around my room. I'm gonna miss my bed, my entire room. Then my eyes went down on my luggage. I smiled. I am excited and a bit nervous. To think that, RMW University is not just an ordinary and simple university. It's THE university that many teenagers want to enroll in and most teachers want to apply to.

I fix my hair for the last time before I went to Lisa's room. Jennie isn't here yet pero siguro parating na rin siya. It's already 6 in the morning and my flight with Jisoo will be 10. I still have time to talk to my sister.

As soon as I opened the door, Lisa is already sitting on her bed. Looking at the door. It's like she's waiting for someone to come in. I smiled.

"Lisa-yah?" I called her so she looked at me. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo niya pero hindi naman gaano kahalata. I'm just good at observing my sister's facial expression. Nakita kong nakatingin siya sa suot ko.

Oh yeah. She doesn't know na ngayon ang alis ko.

I walked beside of the bed and sat on the edge of it. I reached for Lisa's hand and gently squeezed it.

"I will be gone for a long time, Lisa-yah. Just promise me that you will listen to your doctor, to mom and to Jennie, okay? They will help you recover fast. Unnie promise to call you everyday. The girls will always be here to check up on you as well." She looked at me with sadness on her eyes. She slowly reached for my hand that holding her right hand and placed it on her cheek.

I smiled with a tears on my eyes. This is the first time Lisa show her affection to anyone again.

I saw a tear fall from Lisa's right eye. I used my left hand to wipe it out. "Don't cry, Lisa-yah. I'm glad that you're slowly returning to your old self. Keep this up, okay? So, as soon as I came back, we will do everything you want, okay? We will bond like we never did before." She nodded while sobbing silently.

Umusad ako ng kaunti to hug her as tight as I could. I can't help but to cry too. She hugged me back as tight as mine. "Don't cry. Stop crying now." I said as I caresses her back.

She slightly pulled back. "D-don't... le-leave..." She said while looking down.

I sadly smiled at her. "I'm sorry. But I can't back out now, Lisa-yah."

I am so touched for her current action but I feel so sad as well. Mali ata na nagpunta pa ako rito bago ako umalis. I don't like seeing her crying like this.

She slowly nodded and hugged me again. "I will call you everyday, I promise that."

Nanatili pa kaming magkayakapan hanggang sa maramdaman ko na nakatulog na pala siya. Dahan dahan ko siyang inayos ng higa saka kinumutan. I stared at her. Basa pa rin ang mga mata niya. Pinunasan ko ang mga ito saka siya bahagyang hinalikan sa noo. "See you soon, Lisa-yah." I said before I made my way downstairs.

"Oh. Hi, Jennie! Good morning." Bati ko kay Jennie pagkababa ko ng hagdan. Sakto kasi na kapapasok niya lang ng pinto.

She bowed slightly and gave me an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Rosé. Medyo nagkaproblema lang sa bahay kaya nalate ako." Ngumiti ako sa kanya. "It's okay, Jen. No need to feel sorry. Come on, sabayan mo na kami kumain. Lisa is sleeping." Tatanggi pa sana siya pero tinawag na rin siya nila Mommy at Daddy.
