Taming Mister Bipolar (COMPLETED- Editing)

Fifty Three

Bernadette Buenaventura's:

"Are you okay?" Inabot ni Ricky sa 'kin ang tubig, "Huwag ka munang gumalaw."

Ininom ko ang gamot at nilagok ito kaagad, "I'm fine," I smiled while holding my chest, "Kaya ko nang bumangon."

"No," Umiling siya, "Hindi mo pa kaya, you have to stay and rest. Ako na ang bahala sa opisina."

"Hindi," I waved my hand, "I'm the one who should be doing this. I can manage, Ricardo."

Hinawakan niya ang balikat ko, he pushed me down until I was laying down. "You refused to be brought to the hospital. At least, kahit ito gawin mo, just this time."

I sighed in defeat, "Fine, I'll rest for a bit."

Nagpakawala siya ng hininga at tumayo. Pinalapit niya ang isa sa mga nurse at nagbigay ng instructions. Tumango naman ito at tumingin sa 'kin, "Don't worry Mrs. B., I'll make sure na gagaling kayo as soon as possible."

I smiled weakly and fixed myself, "Please do because I still need to talk to Olivia."

Ngumiti ng matamlay si Ricardo at tinapik ang hita ko, "Don't worry, I'll call her. I'll make sure you'll fix this."

Huminga ako ng malalim at pinikit ang aking mga mata. The nurse checked my BP.

Up until now naninikip pa rin ang dibidb ko. I have never felt like this before. I can't seem to breathe normally and every time I try to, it hurts. Tumatanda na nga ako. At kung kailan pa kami tumadan, saka naman kami nagkaganito.

Eden Joe Buenaventura's:

"Where's mom?" I asked the maid immediately pagkarating ko sa mansion, "How is she?"

"Kahapon pa po siyang nasa kwarto, nagpapahinga po." She answered. "Kasama niya po yata si Sir Ricardo ngayon. Nagpupumilit po kasing lumabas. Kakausapin niya raw po yung nanay ni Miss Pm, e."

Tumingin ako sa direksyon ng kwarto ni Mama. "What did the doctor say?"

"Highblood daw po, e." She politely replied, "Tumaas po ang alta-presyon niya matapos ang nangyaring away nila kahapon ni... alam niyo na po kung sino."

I sucked in air and started walking towards her room. I was on top of the staircase ang makita ko si Tito Ricardo, he just closed the door at tila nagulat din siyang makita ako.

"Ej, what are you doing here?" He raised a brow, "Aren't you looking for Patricia?"

"How's mom?" I didn't answer at akmang lalapit sa kwarto.

"She's okay, she's resting." Tiningnan niya ako mula ulo hanggang paa, "What's wrong with you? You look worn out? Saan ka ba galing?"

Hindi ako sumagot.

"Are the rumors true?" His forehead creased, "Is it true na may third party? That you're seeing someone in a certain hospital."

"So what if I am?" I glared back, "That woman is Christine and she has stage 4 Leukemia, Tito. I can't just leave her alone."

"So you dumped Pm because of that?" He faced me at namaiwang, "Is that the reason why you stopped the wedding?"

I was surprised, "Who said I stopped the wedding?"

"Well, Bee told me that you stopped the wedding," He cocked his head to the side, "Pm thought you dumped her because of Christine. The rumors about her are not getting any better, Ej."

"Shit," I cussed, "Why is this happening now?"

"Go and try to talk to Pm," He suggested, "Baka maayos niyo pa ito. O baka naman, nagdadalawang-isip ka na nang makita si Christine?"
