Chapter 45:Is it the end?
Maël's POV
Bago pa siya bumagsak ay agad ko na siyang nasalo.
"Mon coeur."naiiyak kong banggit bago siya tuluyang pumikit.
"Dalhin na natin siya hospital!!"sigaw ni Sebby.
Dinala na namin siya sa hospital.
Nasa labas lang kami ng emergency room. Her dad is comforting her mom,her brothers is silently crying,the section 5 looks so hopeless. And Kayden,her twin,he told us that he's the lost twin of Mon Coeur,is crying.
I can't look at her in that situation. Bathing in her own blood. I feel so useless. I can't even protect her.
"D*MN!!!F*CK!!!"I'm punching the wall. I don't care if my hand hurts. I feel numb.
Napahagulgol ako. Kahit makita nila akong umiiyak,mahina,I don't f*cking care.
Mon coeur is my strength.
Napatingin ako sa tumapik sa balikat ko."It's okay,be strong. She need you,us."he smiled sadly at me.
"I j...just can't l...look at her in t...that kind of s... situation."
"I know. Kami din naman eh. H...Hindi ko pa nga siya nakakasama a...as her t...twin g...ganito na agad ang n...nangyari."
I sighed.
Ilang oras kaming naghintay nang lumabas ang doctor.
Agad lumapit si Tita Mariz."D...doc how's my d... daughter? I...is she okay?"
"I'm sorry."two words and seven letters that broke my heart."She's in coma and I can't assure you that she'll be able to make it. Three bullets entered her body,two in her left leg,one in her right lung. Her left leg needs a therapy, she'll not be able to walk for a month or what 'coz the bullets damaged her there. While her right lung is not good, she'll undergo on a surgery 'coz it causes bad to her lung that she can't breathe normally."
"Bakit hindi niyo pa gawin ngayon?!"sigaw ni Tita Mariz.
"I apologized,we can't undergo a surgery when the patient is in that kind of situation. Let's just wait for her to wake up. Excuse me,I still have a patient."
Pagkaalis ng doctor ay lumapit samin ang nurse at sinabing nasa ICU pa si Lie.
Napahagulgol na lang si Tita.
Hindi ko na kinaya kaya umalis ako.
Dinala ako ng mga paa ko sa chapel. Umupo ako nagdasal.
"God,I know I don't have the rights but please save her,save my love. I can't lose her. Hindi pa ako nakakahingi ng tawad dahil sa mga maling ginawa ko sakanya. Gusto ko pang humingi ng second chance at magsimula ulit kasama siya. I want to be her boyfriend,again. I want her to be my wife,my children's mother. I want her, so please don't take her away from me. I'm begging you."
"D...don't take h...her away from m...me."I muttered.
"What happened?"I jumped a little when someone talked. She sit beside me.
I looked at her then in front."My g...girlfriend is c... comatose. I feel so u...useless that I can't even p...protect her."I sobbed.
"You know what? My husband died from saving me. I wanted to end my life back then,pero naisip kong sasayangin ko ang buhay niya sa pagliligtas sakin. My son and daughter died too. They want a revenge. Dahil sa paghihiganti nila kaya sila namatay. Gusto ko ding patayin ang mga taong pumatay sa asawa ko,pero may lumapit saking pastor. Tinanong niya kung bakit ako umiiyak at sinabi kong namatay ang asawa ko at gusto kong maghiganti. Pinayuhan niya ako na lumapit sa Diyos,at ginawa ko yon. Nawala ang galit ko sakanila. Alam mo bang kamamatay lang ng mga anak ko? Masakit,pero napatawad ko din ang mga gumawa non."naramdaman kong tumingin siya sakin."Sabi nga nila,may rason ang lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay natin. Sa sitwasyon mo ngayon,like what you said, comatose ang girlfriend mo. He has a reason,God wants you to be strong. Gusto niyang maging malakas ka dahil kailangan ka niya at ng pamilya mo. Hindi niya gagawin yon para pahirapan ka. He did that because He wants you to realize something.He just wants you to believe on Him. Wag kang lumapit sakanya kapag kailangan mo lang ng tulong niya. Lumapit ka dahil kaya mong maniwala at maglingkod sa Diyos. Wag na wag kang tatalikod sakanya kapag nahihirapan ka na. Ang gawin mo, lumapit ka pa lalo para maging ligtas ka at ang mga mahal mo sa buhay."
I nodded."I have to go. May kailangan pa kasi akong gawin."
Bago pa siya makaalis ay hinawakan ko ang braso niya."What's your name?"
She smiled. Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko nang sabihin niya ang pangalan niya.
N...no mali naman ako ng hinala diba?
I...I'm sorry Tita.
