Episode 19

"where's my son? chrystyan!"

i immediately stood from where i was sitting and i suddenly let go of my grip towards to jeshua the moment i heard my boss looking and calling for his son's name, chrystyan, that's currently inside the emergency room as nurses and doctors was still trying to figure out what happened to him why did he just suddenly pass out earlier and to tell you, it has been almost two hours since we rushed chrystyan here and up until now, no doctors or nurses ang lumalabas para i-update kami. jeshua was here already and yet, there's no update about chrystyan's status.

when i stood up, i went straight to my boss but i made sure that jeshua was in a safe place where i could leave her alone for some minutes while i would try to make joshua calm down because based on what i saw when he came here, he was rushing, he was catching his breathe and the look on his face na akala mo he was ready to go blood, sweat and tears just to see his son. and by that, i know the range inside of him was boiling... so when i came towards him, i aligned my both arms to block and prevent him from entering the emergency room where chrystyan was.

"where is he? where's my son?!"

"he's inside, sir." and because he was too persistent to go inside the room, i was left no choice but to hug.. though it wasn't actually a hug but i have to make contact with his body using my both arms just for him not barge the door. "we are not allowed to go inside, sir. but rest assured that chrystyan is inside though there are no updates from the nurses and doctors about his status yet."

i have to tell him that chrystyan was inside over and over until he gave up and when jeshua called him, that's the only moment he stopped from trying to barge into the emergency room as i help him sat on one of the blue chairs of this hospital the same where jeshua was sitting. i sat next to him as i lift my left hand to caress his back for me to comfort him while he covered his face using his both hands and with that, i saw how the veins from his white hands are prominent like as if nanggigigil sya at gusto nyang manuntok but he was just holding himself back.

his breathings are also heavy but he's not crying, his ears and face are red and it was very visible since he's pale. jeshua was about to come close to his father prolly to comfort him but i signaled her not to yet since his father wasn't in a good mood and to give him some space for some minutes until he calm down. it was a matter of minutes when he moved as i thought that he already got to compose himself and he calmed down but no... because when he jerked his head towards me, my heart shrinked seeing his eyes was bloodshot and he look so mad.

"tell me what happened, lee. tell me what happened why did my son ended up inside that room? what did he do? who did that to him? tell me, lee..." though he wasnt shouting but his voice was aggressive. it was deep, it was full of finality and you could hear the hint of madness in it.

i had to swallowed hard. "i'll tell you if you calm doㅡ"

"how would i calm down? chrystyan.. my son is inside that room and there wasn't any updates about him and how the hell did he goㅡ"

"joshua!" i had to call him by his name for him to finally compose and calm himself down plus i could see na manununtok na sya anytime and i was scared na sakin nya gawin yun. plus jeshua was there.. the kid was seeing his father turned into someone she didnt know just because of this situation. "you have to calm down in order for me to tell you what happened. your daughter is watching you, joshua... please."
