The Guy From The Time Machine

Chapter 32

Kylie's POV

I panicked when I saw Dylan vomiting blood. A lot of blood coming from his mouth and I was really scared that moment.

I literally cried when he lost his consciousness. I didn't know what to do.

All I needed to do was to inform Eli about what happened.

Dylan was already admitted to the nearest hospital which is the St. Jude Hospital.

The doctor told me that the cancer cells were spreading all over his body. And it's too late for the chemotherapy to do.

Honestly, I lost hope when I heard what the doctor said. Dylan is getting weaker as the day goes by.

I told my nanny to look over Dylan 'cause I need to talk to Eli.

I went to the hospital's parking lot to look for my car.

My heart is so heavy right now. I'm not ready to lose such a wonderful person in my life.

I'm not ready to lose the love of my life.

While driving, I can't stop thinking about Dylan. I hate him for not taking proper medication. I hate him for choosing Eli over his chemotherapy.

I envy Eli. She's very lucky to have Dylan. I can't blame her if she reacted that way. I understand that she was hurt but I don't understand why she needed to kick Dylan from her house knowing his condition.

I have finally arrived at Eli's place.

I don't know where exactly she lived so I asked an old lady for help to find her house.

She instructed me the way to Eli's house. She's really nice. She was smiling the whole time. It was a good encounter.

I guess I'm finally here.

"Eli? Eli..." I called her.

"Ano'ng ginagawa mo rito, Kylie?!"

She looks so shocked after seeing me outside her house.

"We need to talk, Eli. It's about Dylan and his condition"

"Oh? 'Di ba na sa'yo siya nakatira? Sagot mo siya"

"Why are you like that?!"

"Masisisi mo ba 'ko, ha? Masisisi mo ba kung magkakaganito ako dahil yung magaling ko'ng boyfriend, mas pinili pa'ng sabihin sa kaibigan niya ang tungkol sa sakit niya. Kaibigan nga ba talagang matuturing 'yon?!"

"I understand what you feel right now. Your feelings are valid. But please, choose him now. He needs you. Stop choosing your pride over Dylan who's getting weaker each day. Minsan, Eli, kailangan mo lang umunawa"

"Kung pumunta ka lang dito para sabihin sa'kin kung ano'ng dapat gawin, makakaalis ka na"

"Eli please..."

"Alis!"

"Dylan is in the hospital right now. The doctor told me, the cancer cells were spreading all over his body. He's dying, Eli! Kanina, nagsusuka siya ng dugo at nawalan ng malay. I didn't know what to do. Kung makikita mo lang kalagayan niya, maaawa ka"

"N-na s-saan siya?!"

"St. Jude Hospital. Come with me, Eli. Please"

We are rushing to the hospital now.

Out of nowhere, she asked me.

"Paano mo nalaman?"

"I was driving alone. I saw him unconscious so I brought him to the hospital. I was shocked when the doctor told us that Dylan has Leukemia. Believe me, I convinced Dylan to let you know about his condition but he refused. He's worried of what you might feel kaya hindi niya sinabi sa'yo"

"Pakiramdam ko, wala ako'ng kwentang girlfriend kaya niya hindi sinabi"

"That's not true, Eli. Ayaw lang talaga niyang mag-worry ka pero mali na itago niya. I'm very sorry. Pinilit ko siyang sabihin sa'kin ang totoo kapalit ng pagsagot ng hospital bills at medication niya including chemotherapy. I already know about your relationship with my dad. We are sisters, right? When we were here few days ago, umayaw siyang magpa-chemotherapy dahil ayaw niyang mapalayo sa'yo ng ilang buwan. Mas inisip ka niya, Eli. He chose you over his medication. Mas pinili niyang makasama ka at sulitin ang natitirang araw na magkasama kayo kaysa ang madugtungan ang buhay niya"

Eli cried hard when I told her the truth.

I stopped the car to hug her.

I hugged her so tight and told her everything is going to be fine now.

"Ang tanga-tanga ko. Inuna ko'ng magalit sa kaniya kaysa ang pakinggan ang paliwanag niya"

"Shhh. Don't say that. I told you, your feelings are valid. It's okay, Eli. It's okay"

"Sana hindi ko siya pinalayas. Sana pinakinggan ko na lang siya"

"Everything happens for a reason, Eli. At least now, you're ready to forgive him"

"Thank you, Kylie. Napakarami mo nang nagawa para kay Dylan. Hindi ko alam paano makakabawi sa'yo"

"Para ka'ng boyfriend mo. Ano ka ba, para saan pa at magkapatid tayo?"

She smiled at me genuinely.

I continued driving until we get there.

As she saw Dylan unconsciously, she started crying.

I hugged her for the second time.

"He will be fine, Eli. He will be healed"

"Sana nga, Kylie. Kasi hindi ko kakayanin kapag may nangyaring hindi maganda sa kaniya"

"Wala 'yan. Just don't think about it"

After that, I told Eli na siya na muna ang magbantay 'cause I need to go home.

Sana pagbalik ko, gising na si Dylan.

Hear me, Universe!
