GUSTONG magsalita ni Rocco patungkol sa nasambit niya, ngunit wala ng paraan para mabawi pa iyon. Bridget was staring at him, stunned with shock. The want to hold her faded when Bridget turned her back on him.

Iyon lang? She would only stared at him? It was an indirect way of saying the generalization of his feelings, but the bottom line of it all was that he really wanted her to stay in his life. Hindi niya matatanggap na mawawala ito sa kanya pagkatapos nitong sabihin na mahal siya nito.

He hadn't thought of Julia last night. Bridget had really smelled strawberries. At walang makapagbabago sa katotohanan na ito na ang buhay niya. Si Bridget na ang napakagandang nangyari sa buhay niya.

And it was heartbreaking to hear that she was giving up on him. He gasped when pain gripped his chest as Bridget stepped forward. It was funny to think because he had believed, he would only shed tear for Julia, pero ngayon

"Bridget, we can still talk about this," humakbang siya para maabot ang kamay nito. Saktong nakahawak siya sa beywang nito nang biglang natumba ang babae.

Dumoble ang kaba sa kanya nang makitang maputla ito. "Bridge, are you okay?" kinarga niya agad ito sa bisig niya. She looked so weak and it panicked him.

Mabuti at malapit lang ang klinika ng Alegre, nadala niya agad si Bridget sa emergency room. Fabiz immediately attended the patient and he waited outside. To his surprise, nasa likod na agad niya si Levi na nagrason na nagro-roaming siya sa kanyang resort. Totoo siguro iyon dahil nasa likod nito ang personal assistant na si Javier.

"Is my confession that shocking?" bulong niyang tanong sa sarili, sumandal sa pader ng klinika. He felt so exhausted. Ngayon lang niya nadama ang pangangalay ng mga braso dahil sa bigat ni Bridget.

She gained weight, he was sure of it.

"She will be okay," tapik ni Levi sa braso niya. Hindi niya pinansin ang kaibigan. Tila iyong katawan niya ay hindi pa naka-recover sa pagkagulat. He didn't know what had happened to her, or was it really shocking for her to faint?!

Pagyuko niya ay iyong kamay niya ang una niyang tiningnan. Nanginginig ang mga iyon.

"I don't know. She looks so pale," sagot niya nang makahinga na nang maluwag.

"She...needs to be taken care of, man. You know, cook her healthy foods in the morning. Dapat ikaw ang nauunang gumising. Milk will always do and fruits, of course. You need to follow her orders. When she says she likes to eat those, you need to get those even if you sacrifice your life for them."

It was a time when people talked to him and he didn't understand what they were talking because there was worry and concern and fear consuming him. Nakatanga lang siya roon, binabaling ang tingin sa kisame ng clinic at ng pinto ng emergency room.

"You're not listening, you fucker." Doon pa siya tumingin kay Levi.

"What are you saying, Lev? Wala ako sa tamang wisyo para kausapin mo. Bridget is in that room. I don't know if she has this disease na tinatago niya sa amin. I don't want to fucking lose her."

Ayaw na niyang maulit ang nangyari noon. Ayaw na niyang umiyak dahil iyong taong mahal niya ay lumalaban sa sakit na pwede naman sana siyang na lang. Losing Julia was devastating because she had been part of his life also, pero kapag malalaman niyang may sakit rin si Bridget. He didn't know. He didn't know why the world cursed him!

He wouldn't lose her. Gagawin niya ang lahat para manatili ang babae sa kanya. He had wasted four years of his life.

"May mga bagay na kailangan mo na lang tanggapin, Rocco." He glared at his friend, clenching his jaw. "You can't control your fate. Life is unexpected."
