CHAPTER 14

"She was given a very high dose of Propofol. Ginagamit iyon usually sa mga surgery procedures para patulugin ang pasyente."

"So she's just sleeping is that it?" I asked as I was watching Patch.

Wala pa ring malay ang dalaga. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa kuwarto nito. Mabilis na rumesponde ang doktor kahit na madaling araw na.

"Yes. She will be out for a few more hours. Pag nagising siya, pwede siyang makaramdam ng kaunting hilo pa."

"Will there be any other side effects?"

Umiling ang doktor. "Iyon ang madalas na nararamdaman kapag nagising sila. If you notice anything like difficulty in breathing, itakbo niyo siya agad sa ospital."

Tumango ako. "Will do." Nilingon ko si Erwin. "Ihatid niyo na lang si Doc sa ospital."

When the two men left the room, I sat on her bed. I have never seen Patch so serene. She was just sleeping thank God! Akala ko kung ano ng nangyari rito nang mawalan ito ng malay.

Ginamot na rin ng doktor ang ilang sugat nito sa mukha. There were patches on her body that were turning purple already. I can't imagine what she had gone through.

Naputol lang ang pag-iisip ko nang may tumawag sa akin. It was an unknown number.

"Did she come home alive?"

Hindi ako sumagot. Kumuyom lang ang mga kamay ko.

"I might have underestimated that woman. She just took down 30 of my men. Well, you might have dodged the bullet now, but I will make sure the next round is mine."

The call ended.

30 men? 30 f*cking men?

I checked her guns. She still had a few bullets left. Her dagger was still there. How was she able to take down 30 men?

Napabuntong-hininga ako. I knew it was Patch's job to protect me and given that something happens, she is my first line of defense. Habang nakatunghay kay Patch, there's this urge in me to protect her too.

Her body is covered in bruises and wounds and now the threat seemed real.

Napapikit ako. It has been a long day for us. Sumandal ako sa upuan. I will watch over her tonight. It's the least I could do.

When morning came, Patch was still fast asleep. It's only seven in the morning. Tatayo na sana ako nang bumukas ang pinto. Kiana was standing there with her teddy bear.

"Hey, princess." Bati ko sa kapatid.

"Kuya? What happened to her?"

Bakas ang pag-aalala sa mukha nito. Kinalong niya ito habang nakatingin kami sa natutulog na dalaga.

"She got into a fight with Kuya's enemies. She'll be fine." Kiana has been exposed in this too much. Ayaw kong mas mamulat ito dahil bata pa ito para maintindihan ang mga karahasan.

"She doesn't look good, Kuya."

"She'll get better in no time. Now, can you tell Nanay Carm to prepare something for her?"

Tumango ang kapatid bago bumaba.

Nang ibalik ko kay Patch ang tingin ay wala sa sariling hinaplos ko ang buhok nito. It was soft as it looks.

That's when her eyes started to flutter open. It seemed like she was trying to know where she was. Then she looked at me. When there was recognition in her eyes, bumangon ito at kinuwelyuhan ako.
