Hospital

"Good evening miss, Eloise. Francheska Eloise Marcos? May I ask san siya ngayon?" Greggy asked the person sa information.

"Where is she? Greg, faster!" natatarantang tanong ni Imee, who was followed by Bongbong.

"Sh-she's currently going through surgery po, second floor, east wing, pinakadulo, may waiting area po dun.." the lady at the information booth explained.

"Thank you, thank you!" pasasalamat ni Bongbong habang tumungo na si Imee sa elevator.

"Mom.." Matthew uttered as he stood up, and hugged his mother.

"Matthew, where's your sister?" she asked still wrapping her son in an embrace.

"Nandiyan, it's been more than an hour.." aniya, habang tinuturo ang OR door.

They sat down on one of the benches for atleast more than an hour, or two, waiting patiently for updates. When suddenly, nurses rushed into the operating room.

Even Claire Tam, once was Irene's kababata, now the top performing neurosurgeon in Ilocos Norte was called in.

"Claire, Claire! What's happening?" Imee asked as she ran towards her habang papalapit pa lang.

"Ms. Imee, I assure you, it's nothing we can't stop.." tipid niyang sagot.

"Claire, parang awa, sabihin mo na.." she pleads.

"I'm sorry, miss.." she replies as she makes her way to the OR.

"Claire, as one of your friends, ano ba talagang nangyayari?" Bongbong asked habang siya naman yung sumusunod.

"If you want me to save your neice's life, please step out of my way, Bonget.." she uttered before she entered the operating room.

"Bonget, Anong sabi niya?" Imee rushed to her brother.

"She's said it already, it's nothing they can't solve.. Ipagdasal nalang muna natin-" he slowly explained.

"No! No! Hinde! I want to see her! Ano nang nangyayari!" she sobbed as she ran towards the OR door.

"Stop it, please.." a familiar voice blocked her and hugged her as tight as she could possibly do.

"Rene, si Eloise.." she sobbed.

"It'll be okay, manang.. I promise.." Irene replied as she comforted her sister.

"Nandito si Kuya Rod-"

"Hi!" he greets with a comforting smile, which eventually faded as soon as he saw Imee emotionless.

"I don't want to talk.." Imee said.

"Ah, why don't we go to the chapel?" Irene uttered, who was then followed by almost everyone.

"Matt? Let's go?" Irene invites.

"I'll just follow po, tita.." - Matt

Imee rushed towards the chapel and sat on the wooden bench.

"Bat ngayon pa? Akala ko ba tapos na yung pagdudusa?" she silently asked as tears flowed down her eyes.

A few moments later..

"Imee.." Rodrigo uttered as he sat down beside her.

"Wag mo 'kong tabihan.." Imee coldly said.

"Alam mo, malulutas ang mga problema pag sama sama tayo.." he whispered.

"No! Kasi, I think ever since you came back, nagkakandaleche leche na ang buhay namin!" she raised her voice.
