Yunah's POV

Pupunta ako sa hospital ngayon dahil sched ko and si Rai naman nasa flyschool na kaya ako muna. I bought a macarons for Justin and coffee for me. Sabi kasi ni Justin parang gusto niya ng sweets eh yung mga gunggong inubusan ng cookies si Tin kaya ngayon binilhan ko ng macarons.

Dahilan kung bakit nila inubos is bawal daw non si Justin, mga ugok sabi ni Doc pwede siya nun. Inarte lang nila para sila yung umubos, pasimuno? Ofcourse si Ej. Pag nakita ko yung gagong yun siya yung ibebake ko.

Pagkabukas ko ng pinto sa room ni Justin, there's an unexpected guest. He was holding Justin's hand while crying. "Ahjussi" Pagtawag ko sakanya.

{Ahjussi means mister}

He slowly turn his head and wiped his tears. "Sorry" Agad siyang tumayo at lalabas na pero hinawakan ko yung braso niya. "Let's talk outside" Nilapag ko yung macarons at coffee sa table.

Nakaupo kaming dalawa sa bench sa labas. "I'm sorry" Nakayukong sambit niya. "My son, Justin.." He cried.

Tinatapik tapik ko lang yung likod niya and let him cry. "Justin is a very nice guy... he doesn't deserve this" I listened to him. "I fail as a good father for my son and daughter... I should be the one who's lying there and suffering" Nagsisisi siya sa mga pagkakamali niya bilang tatay ng mga anak niya.

"I went to Korea because I'm looking for a hospital that can heal my son but none of them wants to accept him...I...My business is bankrupt" Nanlaki yung mata ko. "I saw him taking his pills and crying while holding his head... It must be hard for him to endure the pain" I don't know what to say so I just listen to him.

"The moment I knew that he had a same illness like his mother, I travel around to look for a hospital who can heal him.... his mother died because of that illness and I don't want my son to die because of that too" I gasped.

I thought namatay yung Mama ni Justin because of accident that's why he blamed his dad. "I figured that she had a cancer and tell her to go to hospital but she didn't want to so we argued and it triggered her... that's when the accident occurred" Tinakpan niya ang mukha niya. "Ahjussi, Justin is strong... I know he'll survive so let's not lose hope, okay?" Pagpapagaan ko sa nararamdaman niya.

"I think you should explain everything to him, he deserves to hear that" Lumingon siya sakin. "Do you think he'll listen to me?" I nodded. "He loves you like how he love his Mom so he'll listen to you" Tumayo ako.

"It's my schedule today but I let you to be with him so you can settle things out" I smiled at him.

Pumasok ako sa loob para kunin yung gamit ko at tignan si Justin na natutulog. "Magbonding kayo ng tatay mo" I whispered to him. "Thank you" Pasasalamat ng tatay niya sakin pagkalabas ko ng room.

I let them have their own time to catch up and make up for everything they've been through. It's hard for Justin and Jaeyah but it's much harder for his Dad to carry all the guilt, burden, blame and pain alone.
