Kean Point of View:
"Nasaan siya?"
"Nasa ER pa po, Sir." Mangiyak-ngiyak na sagot sakin ni Felicity. Kaya agad-agad akong tumingin dito. Puno ng kaba at pag-aalala.
"Anong nangyari?" Aligaga kong tanong habang hindi inaalis ang mata sa pintuan ng Emergency Room.
"N-Na--. N-Nabangga po k-kami." Utal-utal nitong sagot.
"How?" May diin na ang pagbigkas ko sa tanong na iyon.
Papaanong nangyari na nasa OR si Xaiyi habang siya ay naririto at iyak ng iyak? I can't accept this. Fvck!
Humagulhol ito imbis na sagutin ako. Kunot-noo ko itong binalingan ng tingin.
"How. The. Fvck. Did. This. Happened?" Puros may diin ang mga binitawan kong salita habang nakakuyom ang isa kong kamay.
"I-Iniharang niya p-po kasi a-ang s-sa-sarili niya sa a-akin. Kasalanan ko ang lahat ng 'to." Nangiginig habang nakatingin sa mga kamay na ani nito.
I heavily sighed to calm myself up. "Alam na ba ito ni Sandoval?" Mahinahon kong tanong rito pero hindi ito sumasagot bagkus ay nanatiling tulala at nangiginig habang umiiyak.
At dahil wala naman akong makukuhang sagot rito ay ibinaling ko muli ang paningin sa ER. Hoping and praying that she is fine.
I fell frustrated and uneasy because of her. "Fvck!" I angrily murmured and sat down because of the fact that I can't even protect her.
Alam ko ang lahat na nangyayari sa kanya dahil may tauhan akong binabantayan siya. Pero dahil sa desisyon niyang 'yon ay minabuti kong dumistansya at hayaan siyang magdesisyon because God knows how much I love her and trust her that is why I keep on supporting her to the things that she wanted and always been there to help her. But now.. Why didn't she run to me? Why didn't she call me for once when she need someone to be with her, when she's down and all alone? Why do she need to keep everything all by herself?
I punched the floor because of being weak. Damn this goddamn cowardness. I shouldn't have let her go back here.
Nasapo ko ang ulo at di namalayan ang pagpatak ng luha dahil sa mga nangyari. I shouldn't have let him know her real identity. Edi sana hindi na nangyari 'to.
"Sino dito ang kamag-anak ni Mrs. Xaiyi Sandoval?"
Napaangat ako ng tingin sa isang doktor na nakatayo sa labas ng ER. Dali-dali akong tumayo at lumapit rito.
"I'm Kean Madrigal, her friend. How is she, doc?" Nag-aalala kong tanong.
"Hi, Mr. Madrigal. I am Dr. Sy. I'm sorry to say this but she is still not okay for now. Masyadong malakas ang pagkabagok ng kanyang ulo sa isang matigas na bagay that actually cause a bleeding to her brain. Mabuti nalang at naagapan namin ito agad. But we can't assure you na magigising siya agad. She is now under observation and I hope within a 24 hours ay magising na siya. Dahil kung hindi ay maari siyang macomatose and we can't assure you that time if she can still woke up. Maari kasi itong abutin ng araw, buwan, taon o maaring hindi na. It's all up to her if she still want to wake up." Mahabang paliwanag nito.
Nangunot ang noo ko sa panlulumo. "Anong hindi na? She need to wake up doc. Babayaran ko kayo kahit gaano kalaki. Wala akong paki kung milyon man yan o higit pa basta't gisingin niyo lang siya." Madiin kong sabi rito.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Madrigal but we also want our patients to be okay too. And we're doing our best right now. All we need to do is wait for her to open her eyes."
"What the fvck! Are you really a doctor or a fortune teller? I want you to wake her up not telling me to wait for nothing." Seryoso at medyo naiinis kong saad rito.
"Please calmdown, Mr. Madrigal. We were doing our best here. And one more thing. If ever she woke up. Malaki ang posibilidad na magkaka-amnesia siya. We were really sorry about the possibilities pero ginagawa naman po namin ang lahat para maging maayos si Mrs. Sandoval."
"What do you mean?"
Nalalingon kami sa likod ko at bigla nalang mamuo ang galit sa puso ko. Siya ang dahilan kung bakit nagkalintik-lintik ang buhay ni Xaiyi.
"I'm Mr. Sandoval. Her husband. How's my wife?" Bakas ang pagod nito na animo'y tumakbo mula sa mansyon nila papunta dito. Magulo ang buhok at--amoy alak.
I sarcastically smirked. "Your wife? A wife that you didn't even cherished and treasured, Mr. Sandoval. A wife that you've toying, all this years. And because of you! She is now on this stage. She is now lying there and experienced all of this because of you!" Galit ko itong kinuwelyuhan. Naalerma ang doktor na kausap ko at pilit kaming pinapakalma.
"Please stop this. This is a hospital not a boxing ring. Please, calm yourself up."
Patulak ko siyang binitawan at inilipat ang paningin kay Felicity. "Please, take care of her too. She is with her when they got into an accident." Seryoso kong utos sa doktor.
"We will, Mr. Madrigal. I'll get her a nurse to accompany and treat her right away." Sabi lang nito at nagtawag agad ng nurse.
Lumapit si Sandoval dito para magtanong sa kalagayan ni Xaiyi at sinagot naman ito ng doktor. At tulad ng ginawa ko kanina ay ganoon lang din ang mga sinabi niya.
"Fvck!" Inis na sigaw nito at sinuntok ang pader.
"You better keep your distance from her now. She is not yours anymore and you already did enough to her. She don't deserve to be threatened like that again. All her life she's been doing her best to make all of you see her yet you did all of that and this. I--."
"Shut the hell up." He angrily glared at me pero hindi ako nagpatinag rito.
"I'll never give you a chance to hurt her again. I swear to God that I'll never let you lay a finger on her ever again."
