My Willow Man (Book 1&2) (Unedited)

CHAPTER 58

"WHAT ARE YOU saying?" I asked Diane again.

"I'm sorry Althea...pero..."

"No... don't say that.. Diane!" I raised my voice a bit.

"Hindi ko sinasadya..." She looked at me na parang wala syang pinagsisisihan.

"Pero mahal ko na sya Althea." She continued.

"Diane..." Napaupo naman ako sa kama nya.

I can't believe this.

"Hindi namin sinasadya Althea... it just happened."

"What are you saying?" I got confused.

I looked at her na parang she saying na tama ang iniisip ko.

No..

This is not happening.

"Please don't tell me may nangyari sa inyo ni Sandro?" Nanginginig ako sa galit.

"I'm really sorry--"

I slapped her face real hard.

Nagulat din sya.

"Pinagkatiwalaan kita Diane!" Hinampas ko naman sya sa braso.

"Paano mo nagawa sa akin toh?!" I was shouting na.

"Kasalanan mo din naman to eh! You asked me to do this kahit ayoko!" Sumagot naman sya.

"Are you blaming me dyan sa kalandian mo?!"

"I asked you to help me na maaalala kami ni Sandro! Not flirt around and seducing him!"

"Akala ko ba tutulungan mo akong mabuo kami ulit? Ano to Diane?!"

"Ano toh!!!" I was shouting my heart out.

Napaupo ako sa sobrang galit.

Nanggigigil ako sa inis sa kanya.

Kay Sandro.

Sa sarili ko.

Halos wala ng luha na lumalabas sa mga mata ko dahil sa galit.

"Diane naman eh.. akala ko ba... magkaibigan tayo?" I asked her habang may namumuo ng luha sa mga mata ko.

Natahimik naman sya.

"Diane...alam mo naman na hindi totoo yang pagmamahal na nararamdaman nya para sayo--"

"Mahal nya ako Althea! He said so himself!" Sumasagot pa din sya.

I scoffed.

"Mahal?" I stood up to face her.

"Nagpapanggap ka lang di ba? Na ikaw ako?"

Natahimik naman sya.

"Ang alam ko si Sandro ang may amnesia pero bakit parang ikaw ang nakalimot sa katotohanan?"

I grabbed her arm and stared into her eyes.

"Ito ang tandaan mo Diane...Ako si Althea hindi ikaw. Kaya kung iniisip mo na ikaw ang mahal niya dahil lang sa sinabi nya, hindi na yan pagkakamali lang... tanga ka na talaga"

"Kaya isaksak mo dyan sa kukuti mo na ako ang Althea na mahal nya at hindi ikaw... DIANE"

"I emphasized your name para maaalala mo din kung sino ka talaga at kung saan ka dapat lulugar."

"What did you say?" Bigla naman sumulpot si Sandro sa may pintuan na pareho naming ikinagulat ni Diane.

"Sandro..." I said.

"Anong ikaw si Althea?" He asked.

"Darling... let me exp--" Diane tried to console him pero pinigilan ko sya.

"Sandro... magpapaliwanag ako" I said to him.

Dahan dahan naman akong lumapit sa kanya.

"Hindi... hindi ikaw si Althea..." He was pushing me away again.

"Sandro... please... I can prove to you that I am Althea.." I was begging for him to listen.

"No... she is the real--" I can see that he is in pain.

"Sandro are you --" Diane pushed me out of the way.

"Hindi Sandro... I am the real Althea.. ako yung PA mo diba, tapos ako yung kasama mo palagi... ako yung mahal mo" She was insisting herself to him.

"Diane stop that" I can see that Sandro was struggling.

"No! Ako ang mahal ni Sandro! Hindi ikaw!" She shouted at me.

"Tumigil ka nga Diane!" Sigaw ko din sa kanya.

"Stop that..." Nakahawak na si Sandro sa ulo nya.

Like he was starting to feel pain again then he suddenly collapsed.

"SANDRO!" Sigaw ko at agad akong lumapit sa kanya.

Tiningnan lang kami ni Diane, hindi nya alam anong gagawin nya.

"HELP! VINNY!" I shouted.

I looked back at Diane pero nakatulala lang ito.

"Ano ba?! Tumawag ka ng tulong doon!" Sigaw ko sa kanya.

Agad naman syang bumaba at naghanap ng tulong.

"Vinny!" Sigaw ko ulit.

"Althea?! Sandro!!" He shouted at agad na tinulungan akong patayuin sya.

We immediately brought him sa hospital.

Dumating din si Tita Irene and Tita Imee pati si Gov.

Tita Liza and Tito Bong was already alerted by Vinny.

Kinakabahan kami habang naghihintay ng resulta nya sa MRI.

Diane was still here.

Naghihintay.

I was glaring at her and nakatitig din sya sa akin like saying it was my fault.

"He's gonna be okay, iha" Tita Irene said at niyakap ako.

Nilapitan din ako ni Tita Imee and Gov.

I looked at Diane and saw how hurt she was knowing na ako ang kilalang Althea ng pamilya nila.

Lumabas naman ang doctor na may dalang resulta.

"Doc?" I asked him.

"He suffered from brain swelling again but he is stable now. Nakatulog na sya sa kwarto nya" The doctor said.

"Babalik na po kaya yung mga alaala nya doc?" Vinny asked.

"We are not certain as of the moment but please refrain him from any stress sa bahay"

Agad naman tumayo si Diane.

"Kung ayaw nyong ma-stress si Sandro, ako ang dapat una nyang makita pag-gising nya. " She said.

As much I hate her right now.

She's right.

Ayoko ng dagdagan pa ang mga problema ngayon.

Kahit masakit sa akin, titiisin ko ang kagagahan ng babaeng yun.

Nauna naman pumasok si Diane sa kwarto.

"Let's get inside na?" Vinny asked.

I nodded.

The door opened and I saw that Sandro was awake.

But he was pushing Diane away.

Nagtataka naman ako.

I was about to enter his room ng biglang tumawag si Simon.

"Hello? Simon? What...oh my God no..no... okay... okay... I'm coming"

I looked at Sandro and he looked at me. Mahal ko si Sandro pero mas mahal ko ang anak ko.

I was about to leave when...

"Althea!" He shouted calling me.
