"AUGUSTINE, you are now awake," rinig kong sabi ng isang pamilyar na boses nang maibuka ko ang aking mga mata.
"D-daddy?"
"Yes it's me, magpahinga ka muna diyan, I heard what happened kaya agad na akong pumunta dito," saad niya.
"Can I hu— D-daddy... I can't feel my feet, Daddy!"
"Shhh baby, huminahon ka muna, please... just calm down."
"Daddy, hindi ako makagalaw!! Daddy!"
"Lauren!! Lauren!! Lauren!" sigaw niya habang kitang-kita ko na hindi na siya mapakali sa gagawin niya.
And so am I.
I'm scared.
I can't move my feet, I can't feel it.
I just want to hug him, pero hindi ko na maigalaw ang mga paa ko.
My tears and sweat are creating a marathon in the entirety of my body.
My heart is pounding and pounding.
I am weak.
Is this really the sign?
"D-daddy!!"
"Huminahon ka lang, Augustine, we can fix this, okay? just stay with me. Lauren!!!"
"I'm here, what happened?" naririnig ko na ang boses ni Mommy.
"She can't move her feet."
"Ako na ang bahala."
Hindi ko makita kong anong ginagawa ni Mommy sa akin, I can just feel her warm hands.
"Augustine, calm down, you're panicking and it won't help you right now. Listen to me, inhale... exhale... inhale..."
He continuously guided my breathing until somehow it gets normal.
"Just trust us, Augustine, you can pass this, okay? just hold my hands." At agad niyang hinawakan ang kanang kamay ko, I can feel that his nervous too, but he's trying to fight the urge for me.
"D-daddy... am I going to die soon?"
I tried to ask this a billion of times, but I still didn't get the answer, but if I'm going to assess it... I'm dying.
"Just rest... all you need to do is to rest, Augustine, you don't need to worry."
Yes... I knew it.
"Bakit ngayon ka lang, Daddy? Ang tagal kitang hinintay, bakit ngayon ka lang? Bakit ngayon ka lang bumalik dito? 'diba sabi mo babalikan mo ako agad noong una tayong nagkita? Bakit ilang taon pa ang lumipas bago ka tuluyang umuwi dito? Dahil ba sa nangyari sa akin? Do I need to feel this first bago kita tuluyang makasama? Do I need to feel first that I'm dying before I can experience the feeling of having a Daddy?"
