The Synapse Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES # 6] COMPLETED

Chapter 36

Days were slow or rather dark and gloomy without his constant annoying stunt to appease me. Every day I watched him suffer. But, it killed me more. If I knew that's the last time I'll hear him talk, I would said easily that I forgave him. But, pride was always the winner, and it cost me the person I value the most.

"Bakit hindi ka mapakali dyan?" Chloe commeneted when I'm walking in our charter's room in circles.

"I don't know. I feel weird. Like something will happen." I murmured.

She made me sit. "Relax, Dom is there."

"Yeah, I know." I mumbled.

Telegram
Dom: Go here, code blue.

Louisse: Okay, I'm on my way.

After reading Dom's message, I immediately run to the other side of the hospital. Ang dami kong nabangga. Pinalabas ko yung mga tao sa elevator para ako lang yung tao. Buti na lang may guard at yun na nagsabing emergency. Halos madapa ako sa bilis ng takbo ko.

When I arrived, they were reviving him fo the nth time. Every day that was the scenario. I can't concentrate at work. I can't breath not being around him.

"Louisse, anak, can we talk?" Her mom said crying. Lumipat ako ng couch.

"I don't want to be unfair to you. But you see, he's tired. I think we're being unfair to him. Masakit sa akin 'to anak, pero pagod na din sya. Let us make him go, anak." She said crying.

I kneeled immediately. "Please, tita. I can't live without him. Hindi ko po kaya. Please, tita 'wag naman po."

"Anak, pagod na sya. Araw-araw na yung code. Tayo na lang may gusto. Pinipilit na lang natin. We're being unfair to him, Louisse." She added.

"Let's sign the DNR. Last na yun, anak. Pagpahingahin na natin sya." Dagdag na sabi nya.

My voice cracked. "Tita, just give me more months. I can't just let him go like this. Hindi pa po kami nagiging okay. Tita please, kahit ilang buwan lang po. Magpapaalam lang ako."

"Gaano pa katagal, anak? Magiging okay ka ba? Papahirapan mo lang yung sarili mo. Alam ko, pagod kana din. Isuko mo na sya, anak. Tama na." Nanginginig na sabi nya.

"Tita, six months. Kahit hanggang anniversary lang namin. Sige na tita, kahit ako na bahala sa lahat. Hindi ko pa po kaya. Mababaliw po ako." Malungkot na sabi ko. Tuloy-tuloy yung mga luha ko. Kitang-kita ko yung awa nya sa akin. Pero kaya kong lunukin yung pride ko, makasama ko lang sya.

"Okay, but after that we let him decide, if kaya nya pa." Huling sabi nya bago kami iniwan ni Dom. Yung mga kapatid nya tuloy-tuloy din yung mga luha nila.

Most days, para akong tangang kinakausap sya. Nakikita ko yung awa nung mga kaibigan ko sa akin. Pero hindi ko pa kaya. Pumirma na si tita ng DNR na effective after six months. Anim na buwan na kailangan kong magdasal para 'wag nya akong sukuan.

"Babe, should I let you go?" I whispered to his ears.

"Am I being unfair? Pagod ka na ba?"

"Please, fight for us. Kahit mambabae ka na. Kahit dalawa kami or tatlo, just be with me. Mababaliw na ako."

"You promised me you'll marry me, sino papakasalan ko 'pag iiwan mo ako. I will never love again. I will curse you forever."

"Don't give up on me. You promised me I'll never walk alone. You promised me you'll be my forever."

"But, if I'm being unfair, just give me time. I'll learn to let you go. I'm a fast learner like you told me. But, you never prepared me to this. Sana hinanda mo ako para mabilis lang."
