Jema Galanza

Ngayong araw na ma ddischarge ang anak ko

Buti nalang at umokay na yung kalagayan niya

I fear for the worst

And sana di na ma ulit to

I'm praying for my son's health

"Mommy ,labas na tayo?" He asked

Naka ngiti naman ako at tumango

"Yehey! Labas na si Jordi!" he jumped

"Anak wag kang mag talon talon. Eto yakult, Wait mo muna si Mommy dito ha? I'll pay for your hospital bills muna anak" Pag papa alam ko

"Bey, Ikaw muna bahala sa kanya...Saglit lang to"Sambit ko
"Sige po ate Je." Sagot ni Bea

Ni ngitian ko naman siya bago lumabas ng room

Maya maya pa ay naka dating na ako sa cashier at agad na nagbayad

"Babe! San ka ba galing? I was looking for you!" I heard a woman

"I'm sorry, I thought I saw someone..." familiar voice spoke

Napa tigil naman ako nang marinig ko ang boses na yun

Kilalang kilala ko kung kanino yun

Wala naman na siya eh diba?

"Let's go upstairs naz babe... I still have a lot of patients" I heard the familiar voice again

"Uhm ma'am, eto po yung sukli niyo po" Sabi ng cashier

Nagulat naman ako sakanya

Agad kong kinuha ang bayad at tsaka umalis

Ella De Jesus

"Here are some of the best places here babe! Parang mas maganda dito sa Balesin babe, Ang ganda ng lugar and ang accomodating pa!" Sambit ni Mae

We've decided na mag short vacation muna kami

To celebrate our anniversary

And I let her decide kung saan kami pupunta

Naramdaman kong may nabangga ako kaya agad akong napa lingon

"Sorry"
"Oh, I'm sorry"

Napa tingin ako kung sino

Jema?

She's still working here?

Para naman siyang na istatwa sa kina tatayuan niya

Namumutla pa

"Doc dada! you're here!" Sigaw ng bata at niyakap ang legs ko

"T-teka lang,Jordan"sabi ng babaeng naka brace

So, Jordan yung name ng batang to

kaninong anak to?

"Mommy, this is my Doc dada wight?doc dada mommy!" the kid exclaimed at Jema

Wait

May anak na si Jema?

Kamukha niya naman yung bata, mukhang malas yung tatay, walang nakuhang features, lahat napunta kay Jema eh

Gusto ko siyang yakapin

Pero andito si Mae eh

I don't want to break her heart

Pero nag tataka ako,Bat doc dada ang tawag sakin ng anak ni Jema?

we never had a kid before, We were almost... Married

Yeah right, Muntik na kaming makasal

"A-ate Jema, t-tara na po" Sambit nung babae
"W-wait! J-jema...C-can I, Talk to y-you?T-tayong dalawa lang?" Nauutal na sambit ko

nagtataka naman si Mae

Wala pala siyang Idea!

"I'll tell you everything after namin mag usap, Can we talk for a second Babe?"I whispered

Tumango naman si Mae at ngumiti

"aantayin nalang kita dito sa nurse station... Just take your time ella" Sambit niya

It's the right time, for us

My almost,and my everything

Hinila ko na siya papunta sa room kung saan ako dinala kahapon

"Jema..." Sambit ko

"B-bakit?"tanging nasabi ni Jema

"a-akala ko...A-akala ko w-wala ka na...A-akala ko, I-iniwan mo na k-kami ng tuluyan" Jema broke down in front of me

I hugged her,I can still feel our warmth

"Kinwento sakin, n-ni doc valdez...A-akala ko..." She cried

" I got into an accident and then nung...nung pag gising ko, nasa Vancouver canada na ako... I had an amnesia. And everytime na na aalala kita, Sumasakit ang ulo ko... You were the missing piece of my memory. The doctor told me na I remembered everything already... M-mae, I saw her sa club a year after my recovery. She got scammed and drank kaya I helped her

We kept on talking on talking until we.... We fell in love, with each other... And at that time, I feel like I cheated on someone....and ngayon ko lang napagtanto, na ikaw pala yun" paliwanag ko sakanya

She was just crying and crying kaya niyakap ko nalang siya ng mahigpit

"I-I'm sorry for causing you a lot of damage in your life Jema..." Sambit ki

I saw her saying no, it's not true

"J-Jv"Sambit niya

nagtataka naman ako nang ma banggit niya si JV

"JV ruined my life, I...I almost lost a Job here at st lukes, Buti nalang Doc Valdez was there... I went to the club with Kyla and our other nurses, when I saw him at the same club....I wasn't expecting for him na... Nasa iisang club lang kami.... I didn't know may nilagay siyang drugs sa ininom namin... until..." She stopped and cried

"Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry kasi nadaanan mo yung ganyang situation.... I wasn't there. Ang dami kong, Ang dami kong pagkukulang sayo... parang... hindi ko alam ngayon kung paano babawi"sambit ko

"Maybe it's better muna if we don't see other... can you give me time? please?" she begged

Napa tango nalang ako sakanya

"I'll wait, Jema... T-thank you.." Sambit ko at ngumiti

She wiped her tears at tsaka tumayo

"Babalik na ako, Kailangan na akonng anak ko... it was nice to see you,Ella"sabi ni Jema

It's nice to see you again, Jessica
