Chapter 19: Failure, Doubts, and Regrets

Old Paco Train Station - 7:30 PM
Leonor's POV

"Miguel, I know you're there!" I shouted.

"Hello, madam." he showed up from the shadows wearing a black jacket, white shirt, and his pants were tattered.

"What is it that you want? Bakit mo ako ginugulo?" I asked him, my fist clenched.

"Because you stole everything from me, madam. My business, my money, even my girlfriend!" he said, laughing. "I didn't steal those from you. Ikaw ang gumawa ng rason bakit nawala sayo yan. Lalo na si Theresia."

"If it wasn't for you, maganda na siguro buhay ko." he said.

"If it wasn't for your attitude, hindi ka masisira." I said.

"Shut your fucking mouth, madam! Do not make me look like the bad person here. I'm simply retrieving what's mine. Then, I'll make your world turn around. Lagi ka na lang nasa itaas!"

"What does this have to do with Theresia, then? Bakit kailangan mo siyang idamay?"

"Because it won't be your downfall if you still have her. Hawak ko si Theresia, madam. I can do something to her instantly." he said, laughing hysterically. I swear I want to do something but my mind started to think of a lot due to pressure and anxiety.

Miguel pulled out a sharp pocket knife. By the looks of his face, talagang he wants to end me already.

"What is it that you want? Money? Kaya kong maglapag ngayon pa lang. Wag mo nang idamay si Theres-"

The moment I realized how sharp his weapon is, I just know that it's my time already. I cried a stream of tears after the thought came to me.

I'll never see her again and I didn't get to say goodbye.

I suddenly heard my phone ring. It was Leila. I picked it up while I have my sight on Miguel. He was grinning widely.

"Leonor! Si Theresia! Isusugod namin sa ospital!" Leila said panicking. My heart dropped to my stomach and my sight was covered with darkness. "Anong nangyar-" she dropped the call.

"Putangina?! What the fuck is this, Miguel?! Akala ko ba we can talk about this?! Bakit siya?! Nandito na ako!" I shouted at him as my palm met his face. My hand aimed to slap him already.

"Akala ko ba kaya mo siyang protektahan?" he said. Talagang nag-iinit na ang ulo ko.

"Tangina! If something happens to her, I'll make sure you'll pay for this! I'll make your life a living hell! Babalikan kita." I stormed going out.

Minadali kong makasakay sa kotse to rush sa ospital where they brought Theresia.

My hands were shaking as I drove. My head was aching and my vision was blurry. Talagang ang sama na ng pakiramdam ko but I made sure to just get there as quick as I can.

I spent my whole life searching for its meaning. Now that I found it through her, am I about to lose it again?

St. Luke's Medical Center, BGC - 8:30 PM

I ran inside and everyone had their eyes on me. I rushed to the reception center to ask. "3rd floor po, ma'am. Intensive Care Unit po." the nurse said.

"Shit, the ICU?" I said to myself as I dashed through the long hospital hallways.

The moment I stepped foot on the third floor, Leila was there. She ran to me. "Anong nangyari?!" I asked, my tears falling already. "She got stabbed by someone the moment she went out." she explained, rushing her words.
