"Congratulations, Craige, you save another patient today" Aniya ng isang doctor sa'kin, it's normal for me. 15 years and here I am, successful. I can buy everything I want even the company of my own father, I suffered a lot way back 15 years, it's still clear to me like it just happened yesterday, the memories of her leaving through the door is still haunting me, but I live with it, hoping that one day, I would receive the best explanation I could ever ask for. It wasn't easy moving forward, I lost every people I love. My mom, my dad, manang Loida, I feel so alone even though I have Vanessa with me. As a friend, I'm totally happy with her wedding and she'll have her first child within the month. I was much more happy than her, because it's all I wish for.
"Craige!" Bati ni Oliver sa'kin, agad akong lumapit para yakapin siya. With the look of him, he looks like he's going through lot of things again.
"Kamusta sa Korea?" Aniya at tumawa.
"Baliw" saad ko pabalik, natawa din naman ito. Umupo kami at nag order siya ng dalawang bottle of whiskey.
"I heard that you have save another patient again, I've always been proud of you" aniya at nakipag fist bump.
"Ikaw? Narinig ko na niligawan ka ng isang student?" Tawang tawa kong tanong sa kanya.
"Funny, Craige atleast may nanliligaw sa'kin, how about you? When are you planning to court another woman bro, it's been 15 years but you're still stuck to her." Aniya at tumawa. He's right. Matagal na yun, but my heart only beat for her. I don't think I could love any other woman than her. She's my greatest, first and last love. I'm sure of it.
"I'll take my chances" tanging sagot ko nalang para Hindi na humaba ang usapan. Kapag si Oliver Ang nag babanggit kay Hanna, iba Ang pakiramdam sa'kin, maybe because he knows the past, that I couldn't burry until now. We had fun the whole night and when morning came, I could feel my head breaking apart. Nahihilo parin ang paningin ko so I decided to drink a tea.
Pagkatapos kong uminom nagbihis na ako, kasi may celebration si Vanessa, nagbihis ako ng plain white shirt and a black pants nagsuot din ako ng black tuxedo. Lumabas ako ng bahay at agad naglakad malapit sa bus station. I decided to take a bus since maaga pa naman. Nang makarating ako sa bus station agad akong sumakay sa bus. Some of the people greeted me. Maybe because I was one of the most known doctors here at the Philippines.
Nakarating kami sa bus stop at bumaba na ako dahil malapit lapit na rin ang venue, just a few meters away and I will be able to reach it. Naglalakad lang ako ng mapansin ko na maraming tao ang nagkakagulo malapit sa isang fast food chain, agad akong lumapit at pinatabi sila isat Isa. There I saw a woman trying to stabilize someone's breathing she was also trying to stop the bleeding. Napansin ko na hindi niya matuloy ang CPR dahil sa umaagos na dugo. Kaya't lumapit ako. I took off my tuxedo at chineck Ang pulse ng tao. I immediately did the cpr habang nakahawak lang ang babae sa towel na tinakip niya sa sugat.
"Call 911" aniya ko sa babae habang ginagawa ko ang cpr. I didn't manage to look at the woman. But I feel her staring at me pero hindi ko parin iyon pinansin.
"Faster!" Saad ko at dun na siya nag dial sa phone niya, patuloy parin ang pag cpr ko sa lalakie. To stabilize his breathing mayamaya pay naging normal Ang breathings nito so I had the urge to look at the woman. Nagulat ako ng Makita ko siya, those beautiful eyes, perfect lips, pointed nose, it's still lingering in my mind, I feel all my emotions coming to me. Pain, happiness, guilt, anger, regret and etc. I couldn't describe it. We were just starting at each other like we're longing for each other's presence, a feeling that I couldn't understand. 15 years of being apart and my heart still beats for her. Maybe a lot has grown with her. But my heart still beats for her completely.
