San Vicente 2: Fallacious ✅

CHAPTER 29

"WE WERE EXPECTING something like this to happen. He did suffer some head injuries. The amnesia may be permanent or temporary, depende na lang talaga sa recovery niya." Paliwanag sa kanya ng doctor ni Andrew.

"So it can really be selective?" Bobbie asked.

"Yes," tumango ang doctor. "He can regain those memories or not. Kailangan lang talaga natin siyang bantayan ng mabuti and make sure na hindi siya masyadong stressed out."

"I'll take note of that. Thank you." Iyon lang at nagpaalam na ang doctor sa kanya.

Bobbie just sat there by the door. Hindi pa siya uli pumapasok sa kwarto kasi halata sa mukha ni Andrew ang discomfort na andoon siya kasi malamang ay hindi siya kilala nito. His friends are inside, kasama na si Shania na iniisip ni Andrew na girlfriend pa din nito.

"Bobbie?" Nagulat siya na andoon si Shania sa tabi niya. "Pupwede ba kitang makausap?"

"Ah, oo. Oo naman." Tumango-tango siya. She's still in a daze at wala pa siyang nasasabihan na hindi siya naaalala ni Andrew.

"I know it's an awkward situation lalo na at ikaw naman talaga ang girlfriend ni Adrian." Halatang hindi din nito alam kung anong sasabihin sa kanya. "But I'm really not here to do harm. I'm married, si Jake ang asawa ko. Nasabi ko na kay Adrian na hindi na niya ako girlfriend. It did confuse him and stress him out lalo na at hindi yun ang naaalala niya but he accepted it as a fact."

"Maybe I'm just too recent kaya hindi niya ako maalala." She told Shania.

"Adrian adores you and loves you." The girl smiled at her. "Ikaw ang bukambibig niya sa medical mission kapag break o kapag downtime namin. I kinda feel like I know you dahil sa kanya."

"He must be exaggerating some things surely." Biro niya. Hindi pa din niya alam kung papaano iha-handle ang situation. "I'm honestly overwhelmed. Natatakot ako na baka di niya na ako matandaan."

"Iba ang memory bank ng puso Bobbie. He will know it's you after some time." Shania was assuring her. Kahit na papaano ay gumagaan ang dala niya dahil dito. She's so used to being strong na nakakalimutan niyang tao din naman siya at may mga nararamdaman. "A guy like Adrian doesn't completely forget, siguro circumstances led him here pero sure ako na babalik ka din sa kanya. He will remember you."

"Thank you," Bobbie smiled. "I'm not usually a mess pero kasi si Andrew to eh."

"You call him Andrew talaga." She seemed fascinated. "Hindi ko talaga akalain na magagawa ni Bennett yung ginawa niya."

"Alam mo?"

"Adrian...Andrew overshared a bit with me and Dave last time." Pag-amin nito. "Gusto sana niya ng advice regarding that matter. He wanted to win you back so bad. Alam naman niya na mali din siya pero sana you give him the chance to prove himself again. Mali siya na hayaan si Bennett na lokohin ka pero sure kami na mahal ka ni Adrian. Maybe he loved his brother a bit more that time."

"I really wish na mas napaaga ako ng balik. Things might have been different." Pero hindi naman na magbabago ang nangyari, kailangan na lang niyang tanggapin na iba si Andrew ngayon. Kahit naman hindi siya bumalik sa alaala nito ay hindi siya papayag na kalimutan na siya nito ng tuluyan.

"Just take it one step at a time as well." Shania smiled.

Makalipas ng ilan pang minuto ay umalis na din sina Shania. Dave stayed a bit to talk to her just like Shania pero umalis na din ito at nagsabi na lang na tawagan ito kung may kailangan sila. She politely thanked them and stayed outside. Hindi pa din niya alam kung paano lalapit kay Andrew. She didn't want to stress him out or anything.
