C H A P T E R 14: REMEMBER ME, SYLESTINE
×××✓×××✓×××✓×××✓×××✓×××✓××
"ARE you really okay here? Dahil kapag hindi ay pwede naman akong maiwan dito para si Mommy mo nalang ang lalabas para asikasuhin ang dapat naming gawin?"
"I'm really fine, Daddy, and I guess I will not stay here para may kasama ako ngayong gabi. I will just be on the other room katabi lang nitong sa akin, I met a friend there," sagot ko naman.
They said na kailangan daw nilang lumabas ngayong gabi dahil may aasikasuhin daw sila na may kinalaman sa mga gagamitin ko during the operation, and I guess it's related to money.
One of the other things that I should be thankful right now is our status in life. Not bragging, pero alam kong kayang-kaya nilang dalawa na makakuha ng amount na kailangan ng hospital para sa akin anytime, dahil sa mga trabaho nila at 'yung ipon ni Daddy habang nawalay siya sa amin ng ilang taon.
That's why I must say that I got lucky to have them and have the enough financial support for my needs here in the hospital.
But... I can't help not to think about Sylestine.
Kanina lang ay narinig ko ang Mommy niya, and that made me know their situation.
If I have the opportunity to have a stable support for my own hospital needs, there are people here na nalulubog sa hirap, and I can't help not to feel guilty about it especially knowing na buhay ang kapalit ng lahat, buhay ni Sylestine, the child that I want to treasure and want to live her life the fullest like I don't get the chance to live before.
"A friend?"
"Yes, Mommy, and I treasure this friend a lot because the last friend I have was way back before I was a child, it was Christine and Karol, and I didn't have the chance to grow with them, and now that I found a new friend, I want to give everything I can to her right now."
Christine and Karol, simula noong lumipat sila ng paaralan ay wala na akong nakita pang pamalit sa kanila as a friend. Since they left, I've been on myself everytime at school. I lost them, and our promises to grow together was not fulfilled because of time and destiny.
"As long as you will be safe with that friend, Augustine, wala kaming problema diyan," saad naman ni Mommy.
"I will, this child makes me feel that I'm still hopeful for anything, kaya we don't need to worry about nothing," sagot ko.
"A child?"
"My mini me, I guess."
I really find it interesting how we are in common for almost everything, from the long-lost Daddy to the cancer.
"Sigi na, kailangan pa ba naming ihatid ka sa kabilang room?"
"No need, Mommy, may aayusin lang ako saglit bago pumunta doon."
