Marviel Kismet Chen's Pov
"W-what's going on?" kinakabahang tanong ko
Looking around the room that I'm in, it looks like a hospital. Pero imbes na ang kapatid kong si Miracle ang nasa kama, ako. And I can't help but feel nervous
At the same time, natatawa ako. Mukha kasing mga ewan ang nandito. Hahahaha!
"Hon, what happen to our daughter?" Mom ask almost immediately after Dad entered the room
Nandito din kasi si Thomas na halatang kakabalik sa school, since dala nya pa ang bag at nakauniform pa sya
Oh wait, ang last na naaalala ko sabado pa ah..
"She's diagnosed with narcolepsy" seryoso pero halatang problemadong anunsyo ni Dad, while he messed his hair like he's frustrated
Making Mom cry, habang ako natulala lang
Narcolepsy? Base sa nababasa ko sa mga libro nila Mommy at Daddy, It's a condition where people who suffered from it won't be able to control their sleeping habits. Making them fall asleep, whatever they're doing.
But the worst part of having this disoder is... There is no cure yet
"First opinion palang naman yun diba? Let's get another opinion! Malay mo anemic lang si Viel, kaya sya hinimatay" pilit pagpapasigla ni Mommy
I just look at her.
She may be kind of strict, but atleast now I know that she cares for me. Maybe not like the way she cares for my sister, but atleast she does. That's enough for me to be happy
So I gave her a smile when she looked at me
"D-do you want something to eat? Robert, ask the chefs to cook for her" she even told Daddy
I just giggled and hold her hand
"Mom, don't panic. I'm still here" I want her to feel that I'm ok. So that she won't worry too much
"Then what does our Little Angel want?" Dad also ask, making me smile at him too
"If possible?" I start "I'd still want to go to school. Even if the second opinion says, I do have narcolepsy" I pleaded as I bite my lower lip
I'm only 11 years old, and I'm just in grade 6. If I stop studying now, how will I even know the basics?
Some people told me that I'm too mature for my age, I have a sharp memory, specially to the things that I treasures the most. That's why I often act childish, for them not to notice
But, if there will be a time that I have to face a challenge in my life. I'd always be ready, I'll be mature about it. Even if it's a tough one
"But--"
"Please?" I cut Dad off "I promise, just until I finish elementary" I even added
They both looked at each other seriously, as if they were talking silently
"I'll watch her, Tito"
We all looked at Thomas who came to my rescue.
Making me smile at him. Even if he didn't smiled back. Tsk!
Pati ngiti pinagdadamot!
"Is that what you really want? What about high school?" Mom ask
I guess she's making sure I won't request another thing like this again.
"I can be hospital schooled, in highschool" I joke
But instead of laughing they just both looked at me, like it wasn't really a good pun
Alright, it was cheesy..
"Ok"
I looked at Dad after he said that word
Does that mean...
"But you both have to promise that Thomas will call, if you fell asleep again" He reminded,  making me nod happily
Yey! I won't stop going to school!
"And we will talk to your teachers, if the second result is really narcolepsy" Mom even added
I couldn't help but hug the both of them with so much happiness. 
I can't wait to see school again, it's as if I just got out from a cage for a very long time, when in fact, its only been a day since I'm in the hospital
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, King!"
I skipped while walking towards, Ten.
He's busy drinking and just waved at me back
"Good morning, Queen" He greeted too, as he put his tumbler beside his bluetooth speaker "Got a good night sleep?" he grin
I just rolled my eyes at him.
I know that he already knows what really happen to me when I fainted. and we already seen my result in my second opinion.
Bad news. Its really narcolepsy
We got the news about it last night. Since we decided to have a bonding in our house. It was a sleepover.
Mom and Dad didn't come home last night, because they have to take care of Mira, my sister in the hospital. She has a weak heart ever since we were kids.
The reason why Mom studied to be a doctor again, since she's just a nurse back then. And now a registered cardiologist. Doctors in the heart. While Daddy is a great neurosurgeon
That's why I invited Ten and Thomas to sleep in the house. Though Thomas didn't want to at first, pero nung sinabi kong sasama si Ten. Sumama din naman sya at sumabay pang pumunta sa bahay.
Hays. Ang lalaking yun talaga. Pakipot
"You ok, Queen? Inaantok ka nanaman ba?" tanong ni Ten na nagpabalik sa diwa ko
Agad naman akong umiling at ngumiti sakanya
"I'm fine. Ano nga palang ginagawa mo at pawis ka nanaman?" tanong ko nalang ng mukhang hindi sya naniniwala
Well sa totoo kinakabahan ako sa sakit ko, but atleast buhay pa ako. That's a good thing
"Gumagawa ng steps, ako kasi nautusan na gumawa ng morning dance. Gusto mo kong tulungan?" masayang tanong nito
Natawa ako
Saakin pa talaga nya naisipang magpatulong ah
"Tangek! Hindi nga ako marunong sumayaw" tawa ko
Gusto ko sana syang batukan, kaso di ko sya abot. Next time kapag nakaupo sya.
Ang tangkad kasi nilang dalawa ni Thomas, kaya din kampante akong kasama sila. Sa laki nilang mga tao kaya nila akong protektahan. Konting takot lang sa kalaban eh
"Pwede ba yun? Lahat ng tao kayang sumayaw, tara! Turuan kita" hila nya pa saakin
Wala na akong nagawa ng hilain nya ako malapit sa ginagamit nyang speaker. Ang cute kasi ng bahay nilang magkakapatid. May kwarto para sa talents nila.
At talent ni Ten ang sumayaw. Triplets kasi silang magkakapatid. Puro lalaki, the first one is Ben or Brooke Novem Pantanor ang singer na playboy, then si Ken or Kennedy Eltham Pantanor ang masungit na artist. Magaling kasing magdrawing pero at the same time ubod din ng sungit. At syempre si Ten. His full name is Timothy Range Pantanor, ang pinakamakulit. Pero pinakasweet din sakanila
"See! Nakuha mo din" masayang papuri nya ng subukan kong gayahin yung steps na nagawa nya
Napailing nalang ako sa pambobola nya
"Manahimik ka nga, alam kong parehong kaliwa ang paa ko. Si Mira yung sumasayaw" paalala ko
Naupo nalang ako sa gilid ng makaramdam ng pagod.
Hindi pa naman ako inaantok, pero pagod oo. First time kong gumalaw ng ganun. Kahit alam kong ang pangit kong sumayaw, hindi ko parin kayang tanggihan ang mokong na to.
Ganun din kasi sya saakin, kahit gaano kahirap yung utos ko. Ginagawa nya. Ewan ko ba sa trip nya
"To naman, parang sinabi mo na ding sinungaling ako" tabi at abot nya din saakin ng isa pang tubigan nya
Dalawa ata dinala nya kasi alam nyang pupunta ako dito, haha!
"Totoo naman eh" pamimilit ko parin
Tanggap ko na kasing hindi para sakin ang pagsasayaw, pero kung ganito kasipag magturo kay Ten ang dance instructor ko, bakit hindi? Gwapo pa hahaha
"Kung sasabihin ko din bang gusto parin kita, hindi ka parin ba maniniwala?" seryosong tanong nya
Making me sigh
Natahimik nalang ako at pilit na iniwasan ang mata nyang kulay asul. Para kasing kapag tumingin ka sa mga matang yun hindi mo na makokontrol ang sarili
In my case, hindi sa gusto ko din sya. At hindi din naman sa hindi ko sya gusto o hindi ako nagwagwapuhan, kaya lang kasi..
"Turuan mo na nga lang ulit akong sumayaw" pilit kong pagpapahyper ng boses at tumayo mula sa kinauupuan na sahig
Tsaka ko in-on ang speaker nya na saktong 'I'm falling in love' pa ng wildflowers yung kanta na ikinangiti ko
My favorite song!
Sinabayan ko yung beat ng kanta, kahit alam kong tatawanan ako ni Ten maya-maya. Kaya nagulat akong napatingin ng may taong humawak ng kamay ko at hinila ako palapit sakanya
"Kanta ka na din!" nakangiti nyang request ng magchorus ang kanta kaya napatango ako at sumabay sa pagkanta
Para lang kaming ewan, sumasayaw sa isang kanta ng walang practice o plano sa susunod na steps. Basta paghinila nya ako lalapit ako. Kapag sinenyas nyang umikot ako, iikot ako.
Pero atleast masaya kami, lalo pang lumakas ang pagsabay ko sa kanta ng malapit na itong matapos. Tawang-tawa tuloy ako ng sumabay syang kumanta pero sintunado
Isang bagay hindi namin napagkasunduan, ako marunong kumanta pero hindi ko kayang sumayaw. Habang sya magaling sumayaw pero ang pangit ng boses pangkanta hahahaha!
Tawang-tawa tuloy kami ng matapos ang kanta at may ibang kanta ng magplay, natigil din kami sa kabaliwan naming pagsayaw.
Grabe ansakit na ng tyan ko kakatawa!
"Alam ko na ngayon kung paano ka pasasayahin kapag malungkot ka" ngiting-ngiti nyang sabi
Napailing nalang ako.
Hindi talaga sya titigil eh
"Don't you think you should just like someone else?" nanulas na tanong ko
Mabilis tuloy na nabura ang ngiti sa labi nya
Putek!
"S-sorry..." naiilang na paumanhin ko
Bakit kasi sa lahat ng pwedeng kong sabihin yun pa nasabi ko eh. Kahit kailan talaga pahamak tong bibig ko
"Dahil ba kay Kurt?" malungkot na tanong nya
Napailing naman ako.
Anong dahil kay Thomas?
"Sa lahat naman kasi ng pwede mong magustuhan, bakit pinsan ko pa?" parang naiinis na bulong nya na narinig ko
"Ten.." hawak ko sa isang kamay nya dahilan para mapatingin sya saakin "Hindi naman yun eh" tingin ko sa mga mata nya
Ramdam kong bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko sa pagtingin ko sa mata nya. Pakiramdam ko nakatingin ako sa dagat kapag tumitingin ako sa mata nya. Ocean blue kasi ang kulay nito. Nakakalunod tuloy
"If it's not Kurt, then why? Bakit hindi mo ako magustuhan?" nasasaktan pero namumula ang magkabilang pisnging tanong nya
Pati naman ako, inaamin kong crush ko din naman sya. Gwapo nya kaya. Pero..
"Yung sakit ko" sagot ko "Ten, walang gamot sa sakit ko. Tsaka masyado pa tayong bata, natatakot pa akong magkagusto ka pa sa iba" dagdag ko
Totoo naman eh, grade 6 palang kami, although graduating na. Masyado parin kaming bata. At ayoko din namang maging selfish
"K-kung maghihintay ba ako? Will you let me be your Prince Charming?"
Aaminin kong nag-init ang mukha ko sa tanong nya, at the same time napangiti ako nun
Ang corny eh
"Sure" tango ko, without thinking "If you still want me to be your Sleeping Beauty when that time comes" biro ko pa
Nagulat nalang akong napatili ng yakapin nya ako at bahagyang buhatin, hinampas ko tuloy ang balikat nyang ikinatawa naming dalawa
Ang lakas din ng trip eh
"I swear, even if I have to fight a dragon without an armor,  I'd still do it" he even whispered
I just smiled, while I respond to his embrace
Tinotoo nya yung sleeping beauty ah
"You'll always be my Sleeping Beauty"
