Derick's room was noisy because we were preparing for our birthday. Yes, August 16 and even though he is in a coma, my only wish for our birthday is for him to wake up.
"Ethan, this is my gift to you and Derick", and he reached for the small box and I opened it, the contents were two gold customized bracelets while Franco silver was "Couple's Best Man", very nice. "Ethan's Bambi," Derick's Tantan ", I smiled and put on the bracelet then I approached Derick and I put on the bracelet, "Happy Birthday to us bambi, I hope you wake up. That will be the best birthday gift ", and kiss his forehead.
I only limit the guests, my only guests are my family then manang Celine and kuya Renny and of course Franco. "How about you? What is your gift to Derick", I took the box and opened it and opened his eyes, "Ring? Are you ...?" 'Shut up, okay? ", I closed the box and put it in my pocket.
I try calling dad but he's still in the meeting. The last time we were complete on my birthday was when I was only 8 years old and now I'm 16. Let it be, at least people here in the room will accept Derick and me.
I leaned over Derick and held the cake and lit the candle. They sang us Happy Birthday and when it was time to blow the candle, of course I wish, "I wish that Derick will wake up", as I blow the candle, his cold hand touch my wrist, I immediately turned around. His eyes start to open and he slowly lifts his arms, "He's waking up!", They all turn around while manang Celine calls the nurse. "Ha-happy Bir-birthday ta-Tantan", he slowly smiles at me and reaches his arms to me, I immediately lower the cake on the table and I immediately hug him tightly and cry myself to him. "Thank you Lord! Happy Birthday Bambi, thank you wake up! You're the best birthday gift I have ever received", mom, everyone cried even the nurses and uncle Doc hugged.
After checking Derick, Uncle Doc confirmed that he is all okay then I made Derick sit on his bed and I kneel infront of him (Music played: KLWKN) "Bambi, I never expect you to wake up. You bring a big impact to my life, you make me feel loved and worth it. Despite your dark past and our role, I know that we love and appreciate the Lord. I always thank Him for you, I became the happiest man ever. Maximus Frederick Carson, will you be my .... ", I was about to say that word when dad arrive. I immediately stood up and turned off the music, "Derick, son you are awake", and they hugged, "Son what are you doing?", I just shook my head and turned to Mom but I saw how he looked at me but ignored.
I approached Derick and put on the ring and whispered to him, "Will you be my forever and my lifetime?", He smiled and caress my face, "Yes! Yes Tantan!", I secretly kissed his forehead and hugged him.
After days of therapy he can walk and function normally so he can return to school and church.
One day, I was looking for Derick because we were dismissed and at the same time we had to go home so I went to Father Ninong's office and when I opened the door, what I saw shatter my heart, as if I was shot, "Tantan, I can explain", but I don't want to so I just ran with tears running.
