Ryan's POV
Nilipat din si Erin sa ICU papunta sa kwarto niya. She said she doesn't want to stay there and just wants to be in her room. Simula nung naisugod siya sa ICU hindi na ko umalis sa tabi ko.
Hindi narin ako umuwi at sila Drew nalang ang nagpaliwanag sa pamilya ko para sakin dahil ayoko rin silang makausap.
"R-Ryan..." Napatingin ako kay Erin nung narinig ko ang boses niya.
"Hey." Malungkot akong ngumiti sa kanya at mas lalong lumapit. "How are you? Do you need anything?"
Napailing-iling siya.
"C-Can you stay beside me..." Mahina niyang sabi.
"Of course..." sabi ko sa kanya at tinabihan siya sa kama. Humiga siya sa braso ko at niyakap ko naman siya. "Always." Bulong ko.
"I--I can't stay longer b-beside you Ryan...I-Is that okay?"
Napapikit ako at nagtiim bagang. I felt my tears on my cheeks. Tahimik akong umiiyak at pinakalma nag sarali bago ako nagsalita.
"P-Pagod ka na ba...?" I felt my heart tearing into a million pieces.
"Hmmm. I-I'm tired..." mahina niyang sabi. Kinagat ko ang ibabang labi ko upang hindi niya marinig ang mga hikbi ko.
Mas lalo ko siyang niyakap. Huminga ako ng malalim.
"I-I'm tired. I n-need to r-rest. I n-need to s-say—-"
"Shhhh. Dont say goodbye okay?"
"N-no...I...I wont. I know that we...we're going to meet...In our n-next life."
"I will find you next life Erin, and I promise to treat you better.I will do everything to be with you...Always. Magiging masaya tayo at walang makakahadlang satin. We will live togther, makakamtan natin ang pag-ibig na hindi naibigay satin."
"A-aasahan k-ko yan....ha?"
"Makakaasa ka." I cried more and hugged her.
"I'm tired."
"You can rest now Erin. You did a good fight."
"Good—-"
"Don't say it."
"Goodnight then."
"I love you. Good night Erin."
Her hand slowly fell on her side as I felt her last breath on my neck. I closed my eyes and hugged her more tightly as I witnessed her life leave her body. I did bad things to her and to other people. I don't deserve to live, and the person who deserved to live died in my arms.
Hindi man saatin ang ngayon, ngunit sa susunod na magkita ulit tayo. Siguraduhin kong magkakasama na tayong masaya...
Till We Meet Again, Erin.
