"How is she Doc?" I asked the doctor who attended her.

"Are you the immediate family?" The doctor asked.

"I'm her partner po," it was faster and easier that way.

"Ms. Alcantara is already fine. She immediately fell asleep after the nurses checked her. Her vitals are stable but I suggest na magpahinga muna. Na-overfatigue lang sya na sinabayan ng trangkaso. Buti ay nakita mo s'ya before pa sya tuluyang nawalan ng malay. Let's just be thankful na hindi nauntog ang ulo n'ya or else it could be a lot worse," the doctor explained. Nilingon ko si Rowena, namumutla parin s'ya.

"What about her vision Doc? She was telling me earlier na hindi s'ya makakita," My heart was beating fast afraid of what the doctor would say.

"Does she have anyone in their family who have genetic blindness?"

"Not that I know anyone," I said. The doctor nodded.

"Then you have nothing to worry. Temporary blindness is common among those who loses their consciousness. Kapag kasi nawalan ka ng malay, pansamantala talagang nagshushut down ang system mo. But if you want, and you're still worried about it we can ran some test," he further explained. I told him to do every measure needed to make sure she's fine. Naupo ako sa gilid ng higaan n'ya.

This is my fault. Damn it. I shouldn't have let her go out and ran away from me yesterday. As much as I wanted to do something about her work, I thought the right thing to do was constantly push her to struve harder because lately she's doing a lot of mistake. Far more than usual. I thought it was helping her but I just made things worse. I was selfish again.

Hinawakan ko nalang ang kamay n'ya. I kept whispering aplogies to her ears. It was my fault. This was all my fault.

"Just... Just be ok Rowena and whatever it is na gusto mong gawin ko gagawin ko... Even if... Even of you want me to stop entering your life I will...," I whispered. If that's what it takes so she could finally be back to her strong, and perfect independent self.

"I will be a lot kinder and it doesn't matter if you forgive me or not... Magpagaling kalang please, kahit hindi kita ishare... Kahit ipaubaya kita... Kahit iwan moko ulit," my tears fell from my eyes. Kahit ilang beses mo ako ipagpalit, sabihan ng masasakit na salita, ipagtabuyan. Hindi ako magkakaroon ng hinanakit.

I just stared at her beautiful face, hindi nakakunot ang nuo n'ya. She looked relaxed, something I took away from her because of my selfishness. Inayos ko ang buhok n'ya. I was too occupied that I failed to noticed the extreme difference of how I remember her the last time I held her and now. She lost some weight. Even if I sent food she still lost some weight. There's also a visible faint blackish line under her eyes which is probably from lack of sleep. This can't keep on happening. I should just let it go.

Just let it go Fabio. Just let her go.

Just the mere thought of her disappearing again is already killing me... But I'm afraid to hurt her even more. I hlet her hand go. I should really put an end to this. I should just be contented staring at her from a distance. I wiped my tears and not long after, the nurse entered and gave me the prescription for her medicines. The nurse told me that they'll check on her from time to time while I buy the medicines kaya nagmadali nalang ako. Kaya lang pagbalik ko... I was shocked to see who suddenly arrived.

"No... Hindi ako babalik sainyo," Rowena was already awake. Tinanggal n'ya yung dextrose na nakalagay sakanya at naghahandanng umalis.

"Please please anak ko bumalik kana sa'min ni Daddy-"
