CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE

MARTINA'S POV

Everyone was in chaos inside the hospital. It wasn't just a typical accident. Five cars were involved.

Bago pa man ako umalis sa shop kaninang umaga ay madilim na ang langit. A strong typhoon was to be expected. Because of that, there were slippery roads, heavy rains, blurry windows, and... accidents.

Naunang nadulas ang kotse sa harap nila Mr. Myers, hindi niya nakita kaagad kaya hindi nakapagbreak at bumangga sa kotseng 'yun, ganon din ang kotse sa likod nila, and domino effect.

Anyways, Tere and Jester were fast to run towards the nurse's station to look for their family. Buti na lang at nahabol ko pa sila.

"Jacy Myers, Terrence Myers, and Martha Myers," mabilis na sabi ni Tere sa nurse.

"Are you the guardian of the patients?" tanong ng babaeng nurse.

"Yes. Theresia Myers."

May tinype lang ang nurse sa computer saka tumingin kay Tere. "The patients are in the ICU."

Mabilis namang tumakbo si Tere papunta roon habang si Jester naman ay nagpasalamat muna bago tumakbo. Ako naman ay humahabol lang sa kanila, still keeping my distance dahil baka ayaw pa rin naman akong makita ni Tere.

Tumigil na kami sa tapat ng ICU saka nanghihinang umupo si Tere sa mga upuan doon. I can hear her sobs. Jester was hugging her, calming her down.

"K-Kasalanan ko 'to. K-Kasalanan ko—" Tere cried.

"Ate, none of this is your fault, okay? Hindi mo kasalanang may bagyo, hindi mo kasalanang madulas ang kalsada, hindi mo kasalanang hindi nakapag-break agad sina papa, at nagkabangga-bangga yung mga kotse, okay? Hindi mo kasalanan," pabirong sabi ni Jester sa kapatid.

I wanted to hug her and console her but my feet won't move. All I could do was watch her cry from afar until a doctor came out of the ICU.

"Who's the legal guardian of Martha Myers?" the doctor asked.

Tere quickly stood up at lumapit sa doctor. "I-I'm her mother. A-Anong nangyari sa anak ko?" S-So, what Trecia said is true? T-Then why lie, Tere?

"We have to perform blood transfusion to the patient, Ma'am," sabi ng doctor na ikinamura ni Jester.

"H-Hindi kami pareho ng blood type," rinig kong sabi ni Tere.

"Do you have any relatives that have the same as hers, Ma'am?"

Para namang natahimik ang buong kapaligiran. Tere and Jester were deep in their thoughts, as well as I.

I couldn't help but walk ahead and ask the doctor. "Ano bang blood type nung bata?"

"AB negative."

Para naman akong nakahinga ng maluwag. "We have the same type. Where should I go?"

"Martina—" I heard Tere's voice.

I turned my head in her direction and smiled. "She'll be okay." I looked back to the doctor and he showed me the way.

Days passed and everything was better. Nasa iisang private room na ang mag-asawang Myers at separate room naman si Martha. At sa mga araw na nasa ospital si Martha ay hindi ko siya iniwan, unless oras na ni Tere para magbantay o kaya naman ay may kailangang asikasuhin sa opisina at makakapagbantay naman si Tere.

At sa mga araw na ring 'yun ay hindi ko pa rin naitatanong kay Tere ang dahilan kung bakit niya nagawang itago 'yun. I have nothing against the fact that she got pregnant at hindi siya kasal sa ama ni Martha. What I'm concerned about was the fact that she hid Martha, saying that the kid was her brother's. Alam man lang ba ni Martha na siya ang totoo nitong ina?
