Mending Heartaches

Chapter 11

I was almost running while finding the room number where my brother was currently at after asking one of the nurses.

"Room 105..." I mumbled to myself after checking every room I'm passing by.

"101..103.." I was counting silently until I caught site of the certain room with the number 105 in gold color.

Agad akong nagtungo sa pintoan ng silid bago agad itong binuksan. I caught sight of dad right after entering the room before my eyes landed on my sleeping brother with bandages on his face and arms.

"Princess" dad quickly stood up from his seat and came near me to hug me tightly.

"Dad, how is he?" tanong ko dito matapos naming kumalas sa yakap.

"He's just sleeping princess. Your uncle Trevor said that aside from his dislocated arm and bruises there's nothing serious damage there is that we need to worry about. But I'm still worried about your brother." he held my arm and tugged me softly to come near Kuya Adrian's bed.

"I'm sorry that I interrupted your supposed to be happy and long night princess" dad said which I abruptly shook my head in disapproval.

"It was nothing daddy always put family first remember?" I reminded him and touched his hand.

"Of course sweetheart, it was from your mother how would I ever forget that?" his eyes stared at me lovingly.

My dad has always been the best father we could ever ask him to be ever since. When my mother was still alive and even when she passed away. Dad never disappointed us ever.

I could even still remember how dad isolated his self for a week when my mom died and when he came out after a week of isolating his self, he was the same man and dad again. Like how he was when mom was still alive and was still with us.

He lost mom and still stood for me and my brother. He smiled and tried to be normal again for us and I know how he hated to be in a hospital since mom passed away and he's here again because of my brother. That's why I tried to get here as soon as possible because I'm not only thinking about my brother but also my dad. I was lucky enough to meet Lisander and he helped me.

Speaking of Lisander, I haven't even thanked him yet for his help. Maybe I'll just do that one of these days. He probably got back to the prom as soon as I got out of his car.

"Go home dad I know you're tired. I can watch and take care of Kuya Adrian for tonight." I sat to the chair near Kuya's bed and carefully touched his hand.

"I can do that princess, you hadn't even changed your dress yet" he said and just then I remembered that I'm still on my cocktail dress.

"It's okay daddy, you can send someone and make her carry clothes for me early tomorrow. And in fact I don't really mind wearing this all night because that's the purpose of this dress from the very start you know" i shrugged at my dad jokingly.

"Well if you insist princess, I'll just make sure to send manang early tomorrow then" after thinking thoroughly he then said to me.

"Okay daddy take care" I stood up and hugged him before I felt him kiss my temple.

"You also take care of yourself here and not only your brother okay? I ordered Ryan and bought this snacks here earlier. I will also send one of the drivers to stay at the parking lot because I don't want him to be with you here inside in case something wrong happens okay?" He said and pointed at the bedside table with few snacks on it. He even got his wallet and gave me few bills to use in case I needed them. Even the driver's phone number. I just stayed and listened to him.

"And always make sure to call me whenever you need me or just need someone to talk to princess okay? I will always have my phone with me" he said and checked kuya before kissing his forehead for the last time before he decided to leave.
