Continuation of flashback

(Clark)

"We've checked your MRI, and CT scan results, Mr. Stevenson. And fortunately, we didn't find any abnormality or damage caused by your accident earlier," Dr. Lapuz said. Siya ang resident neurologist ng ospital na pinagdalhan sa akin.

Na-check at na i-cast na rin ang braso ko. Sabi ng doctor, gahibla lang naman ang fracture ng braso ko. Two weeks is enough for it to heal.

Sinadya kong iwan si Sky sa waiting area. Ayoko munang malaman niyang magko-consult din ako tungkol sa pagbalik ng memories ko. 

"That's a relief. Pero tingin niyo po ba it was the car crash that caused my memories to comeback?" I curiously asked.

"Well, I don't think the accident physically caused you to recover from your retrograde amnesia. Wala ka naman natamong injury or severe impact on your head. Sa tingin ko, ito ay dahil sa intense shock na nagdulot ng stress sa isip mo the exact moment you were hit. Maybe because of intense fear, or trauma, your brain was forced to remember. Well, we will still need to see your other test results to fully form a conclusion."

I nodded my head. "Thanks, doc."

"No worries. Let's see your test results and then, you're free to go home and take a rest. You've had a long day, Mr. Stevenson."

Home. I just realized that I have nowhere to go home to tonight. That's when an idea hit me. Sana lang mapapayag ko siya.

It's been a few days. Pinayagan ako ni Sky na mag-stay sa condo niya. Alam kong kaya ko namang mag-check-in sa hotels or rent an apartment pero wala akong choice. Wala na akong sapat na oras. I only had three weeks. Kailangan kong mapalapit sa kanya ulit bago ako umalis.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking and  she's just a genuinely nice person, pero I could sincerely feel it. There's still chance and I'm going to take it.

"Ito na po 'yung food niyo," the staff from the restaurant said.

"Ok. Salamat," sagot ko. "Ready na ang ni-request kong table?"

Tumango siya. "Opo. Nasa labas na. Pati po 'yung pinabili niyong lights and candles."

"Great. Thank you," ani ko.

"Kami na po ang mag-aayos."

"Okay lang. I'll do it. Maraming salamat."

Binayaran ko na siya at lumabas na para ayusin ang pinaplano kong dinner date with Sky. After everything that happened, I wanted to let her know that I'm here. Kasalanan ko kung bakit kailangan naming umalis ng Manila. I didn't expect for this to blow up at alam kong walang mas affected kundi si Sky. The world seemed to be against her and it's all my fault. I wanted to let her know that I'm with her no matter what.

Saka... Gusto ko siyang tanungin ulit. I wanted to ask her permission to let me treat her like how I did before. A permission to love her again.

Pumasok ako sa loob ng resthouse. Nakita kong nakabukas ang pinto ng kwarto niya at natutulog pa rin siya sa loob.

Marahan akong lumapit sa kanya. I couldn't help but stare at her for a few seconds. She's still has the same angelic face she had years ago. It's crazy how I didn't remember that beautiful face right away.
