William Vincent Marcos a single father, who was left to take care of his son after his ex wife left him to pursue her career.
When Vinny returns to his hometown, what happens when he runs into his childhood friend once more...
When I noticed a vacant parking spot, I dashed out of my car and ran towards the information desk, where a nurse is currently working in front of a computer.
" Uhm, excuse me po, pwede po ba magtanong kung andito na admit si Vinny Marcos? " I asked the nurse, who paused and looked at me for a moment. Her eyes returned to her computer, where she typed something before returning to me.
" Nasa operating room pa siya maam. And I must inform you beforehand that they are several PSG all over the hospital because of his safety. " She said and I nodded my head.
" Thank you... And uhm saan banda ang operating room ? " I asked her hesitantly she stood up from her place and pointed to a hallway.
" Doon po ma'am sa bandang right then sakay po kayo ng elevator sa 7th floor and straight lang po kayo, may sign lang po dun. " she said and I bowed my head and walked towards the direction she pointed.
I sighed as I entered the elevator and punched the buttons to select which floor I wanted to travel on. " Sana okay ka lang Vinny.... " I thought to myself as I peered at the digital, which abruptly stopped and opened.
I straightened up and stepped out, but I ran into someone. I closed my eyes when I felt myself tumbling down, but I felt arms hold me and I clutched into him before opening my eyes to see Simon, Vinny's older brother.
" I'm sorry..... Uhm, do you know where the operating room is? " I inquired, he pointed to a hallway and bowing my head.
He caught my wrist as I was ready to walk away. I questioned him, " Are you Amethyst Cruz? " He inquired, and I nodded slowly, waiting for his next words. " Right now, my brother is being transferred to the ICU. " he continued, and I questioned, " Will he be okay? " He shrugged his shoulders in response.
" The doctor said his condition is critical. " he continued, and I covered my mouth with my hands in horror. He stroked my shoulder and went into the elevator, leaving me standing there crying.
As I approached the operation room, I noticed a man seated in one of the plastic chairs, his clothes stained with blood. I sat down next to him and lowered my head.
" My brother always looks at his phone..... " He began, and I stared at him. " He knew you were busy, but he kept fumbling with his phone a while back.."
"I know my brother doesn't share his life with me that much, but I always know his traits whenever he's happy, angry, or sad. It's nice to see you again, Gayle, and I'm glad you and my brother crossed paths again." He said, and I glanced at him, trying to recall him.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered playing with William and his brothers as kids in Ilocos Norte. I covered my lips in disbelief as he smiled. " Alexander? Oh my god.." I said, and he approached me and hugged me. I sobbed in his chest.
" I was right all along..... You guys change a lot, I almost didn't recognize you three... " I remarked, breaking away from the hug and wiping my eyes. We noticed a nurse clutching a clipboard when we heard someone clear their throat.
" Sir, nasa ICU napo si Vincent Marcos, and visiting hours will be tomorrow pa po, but you can look at him through the glass. " the nurse stated, and Sandro nodded and raked his hand through his tousled hair.
" I'll lead the way, po papunta doon. " she said, stretching out her hand, and we both stood up and followed her, our shoes clanging on the tiled floor. We arrived in less than a minute, and I pressed my fingers against the glass window, staring at Vinny's comatose figure.
"Andito na ako, William. Please wake up... I'll be waiting for you.... " I whispered quietly, wiping my tears away.
" Thank you... " Sandro muttered next to me as the nurse nodded and walked away.
