Unopened Rose (DRAFT! DRAFT!)

Chapter 93

-------

Yanna opened her eyes and looked around inside the unfamiliar white cement room.

She heard the sound of a familiar beep of the machine.

Wait, a machine? Where am I?

"Julia?" Parang hindi makapaniwala na sambit ng kanyang ina mula sa pagkakatulog habang nakahawak ito sa kanyang kamay. Nagising agad ito nang maramdaman ang kanyang paggalaw.

"M-mommy?" Naiiyak at nahihirapang na sambit niya dahil sa machine na nakalagay sa kanyang bibig saka napatingin sa kanyang kamay.

"Oh honey... thank god, you wake up . Wait here. I'll call the doctor." Nagmamadaling lumabas ang kanyang ina at tumawag ng Doctor sa labas.

Seconds later she heard the footsteps of people coming to her room.

"Three zero two is awake!" Rinig pa niyang sigaw ng boses ng babae bago nagsidatingan ang doctor at mga nurse sa loob ng kanyang kwarto.

They examined her and asked some questions that she answered truthfully after they got the machine from her mouth. The doctors were even shocked that she can rise up from the bed by herself.

"D-do you feel numb or pain in your body?"

Umiling si Julia bilang sagot saka ibinaba pa ang mga paa sa sahig.

"I feel fine. Why? How long did I sleep?"

"Ah... Uhm..." Medyo nautal pa ang doctor habang hindi makapaniwalang tumititig sa kanya nang bumaba pa siya sa kama at tumayo.

"Honey you were not sleeping you were in a coma for a year."

Nanglaki ang mga mata ni Julia sa narinig.

"A... A what? A year? But yesterday I remember I just fainted and..."

Hindi na niya maituloy ang sasabihin nang isa-isang pumasok sa kanyang isipan ang mga naalala niya.

Si Matthew... Si Matteo... Luke... Yuhan ... Bai Xian... at iba pa.

Napahawak siya sa kanyang ulo nang maramdaman niya iyong sumakit at napahawak din sa kanyang dibdib.

"Julia... What's happening?"

The nurses tried to lay her back in bed as she cried. She's still very sad of Matteo's death.

"Mom, where's Matteo?"

"M-matteo?"

"Si Matthew? Nasan siya? Dalhin mo siya dito, mom."

"Julia what are you talking about?"

"Iyong anak ko, mom. Iyong anak ko. Please kailangan ko silang balikan."

"Miss Gonzales ... Please calm down. We don't know what you are talking about."

"Doc, what happened to my daughter? "

"We will examine her first. But first we need her to calm down. Nurse, please inject some propofol to calm the patient."

"Okay doctor."

"No! No! Let me go! I want my son back! Let me go back there! Matteo! Matteo! Matthew! Matthew!" Sigaw niya at pilit na pumupumiglas sa hawak sa kanya ng mga nurse pero ilang sandali lang ay unti-unti na siyang nawalan ng malay at nakatulog.

The doctor turned to her mom after.

"Please give us time to examine her first. Perhaps because she was in a coma for so long. She might have suffered in her dreams. She just need to relax and accept that she has already woke up. And also... I don't know how to explain this. Normally, the people in coma cannot stand up by themselves alone like nothing happened."
