XV: Hospital

“How about you Anna? What is your perspective on love?” The professor stared and asked Anna the question. 
She smiled for a bit. “I believe it’s the highest form that only served humanity but saves us too.” She answered. 
He was nodding his head at her. Extended his hand for her to say something more. “Please, do continue.” 
She nodded her head at him. “It’s like lovely feeling to bask into. It may not always be for the romances but also for friends, family, for animals. It’s that feeling when you feel that gushing warmth and gentleness passing through inside of your mind and your heart. It heals you.” She answered. 
The professor smiled at her and gave another acknowledging nod at her answer. “Amazing connotation.” He spoke. 
The people inside agree with her. And she heard murmurs and giggles but all she can ever can think about is what was captured by her auditory senses. And it was his name that she heard from some of the mouths inside the room. 
“Sir?” Someone from class raised her hand. 
“What is it, Miss Mendez?” He asked. 
“Can I add something, Sir?” She asked. She then proceeded to nod her head upon seeing him approved of it. “It’s the healthiest form for people who happens to be in luck to feel that. And I think the reason why Anna happens to speak of such thing…” 
She stared at her and smile. Her eyes went back to the professor. “It’s because of him. I think, she happens to actually receive such genuine love from him, Sir.” She uttered and this time she was beaming with her smile. 
Anna stared at her and just shook her head but she was smiling back at her. She thought she will be refuted by her but she happens to agree. She saw how the others smiled and started to make sounds which only made her shake her head. 
“Is this Mr. Gozon?” The professor spoke. 
Another coos and woos, cheers from the class were made. Anna just smiled at what was happening. She would not dent that. Everything about Michael is just right. Even when things for were tough, even at times they were not always in the same page but there is that balance that is just right for her. And that is enough. Everything about him is something she can is grateful for. 
Then she received a text. Making her slip her attention towards it and see through it. It was a message from Michael’s mother and she spoke about him being in the hospital.
“But why is that he is not here with us? Perhaps you know about what happened to your friend, Miss Claveria?” 
The professor’s word pulled her out from the sudden rummaging feeling she felt at the moment. She was trying to compose herself. She stared at him. “He is at the hospital, Sir.” 
The air changed and the class went quiet. Even the professor wasn’t able to say an immediate reply at what she said. And even herself doesn’t know what to do at the moment… 
“I hope Mr. Gozon will be able to recover soon from what happened to him. Send him my hopes for his fast recovery, Miss Claveria.” It was the prof’s reply. 
She nodded her head at him and tried to at least have a more pleasing expression but she was not really having it that all she can ever do is nod.

They were sitting at the cafeteria for a break when Eli was trying to fan herself with her fingers. Anna wasn’t paying attention and she was exchanging text messages to his mother. 
“I don’t understand. He was always been healthy and is filled with enthusiastic energy. How come this happen?” It was a question from Arielle who was sitting beside Eli. 
“I don’t know. We know him for his vitality. This must be serious one.” It was Elizabeth who answered. 
“I just hope it is not the kind of you know, being in that grave condition.” Arielle answered. 
“It’s not but it’s also not a good one.” Anna spoke at this time. She took her eyes off her phone and stared at her companions. “He happens to have a moment of having seizures and he suddenly fainted. Luckily, he was inside the house and they were there.” 
“Right. You said he also got a high fever. It must have been because of that too.” Elizabeth answered.

They were going home when Elizabeth pulled her arm to get her attention. 
“You have to look, Anna. Look at them. It’s him and he was with a girl.” She talked. 
Anna shook her head and check the updates from Michael’s mother. She checked a message from Russ. She replied and then proceeded to talk to Michael’s mother again. 
“I need to go to the hospital. He needs someone to look after him.” She talked and stared at Elizabeth. 
Eli cling into her. “Don’t worry I’ll go with you.” She held her arm and pulled her to see the direction she wanted her to look at. “But look at the two to of them first.” She pointed out. 
Anna stared and saw him conversing with someone in front of the shop. They were laughing and the conversation look as if it is going well. She nodded her head at her and stared back at Elizabeth whose expression was a bit shock. 
She covered her mouth and stared at her with wide eyes. “What happened to you? He is with a girl.” There was such heavy emphasis on her words. Her tone was slightly raised. She was shaking her head when Anna stared at her and look as if she did not care to what they just saw. 
“Anna.” She uttered. 
Anna pulled her arm instead. “Let’s just leave them, shall we? Michael needs us. We really have to go see Michael and check what is his current condition.” 
Elizabeth stood there frozen. Her smile was seen on her face and she stared at Anna. Anna tilted her head at her and raised her brows. 
“We need to go now, Eli.” She spoke. 
Elizabeth abruptly nodded her head and she was smiling at her. “Yes. Yes. we need to, Anna.” She replied with such huge grin on her face.
