As I stood in the hospital hallway, I was unsure of what I was feeling. The emotions whirling inside me were slowly shattering me as I tried to make sense of the situation. Sa kabilang dulo ng ospital ay naroon ang kwarto ng Mama ni Ringo, habang sa kabila naman ay ang kwarto ni Andres.
Halos hindi ko na maramdaman ang sakit mula sa pilay ng aking paa, dahil nilalamon ang utak ko ng pagaalala. I even managed to drive to the hospital despite my leg injury.
After a moment, Bullet came with Dayana, both showed concern and anxiety as they were catching their breaths.
"Kamusta si Andres?" tanong ni Bullet.
Umiling ako. "Hindi ko pa alam. Nasa loob sila Tita Alice kasama sila Emilio. Andres just moved from ER to the private room."
"ER?" reacted Dayana. "Ibig sabihin ay malubha ang lagay niya?"
I drew a heavy breath. "I don't know, but I hope he's fine now."
Bullet pressed his head in frustration. Maya-maya ay may lumabas mula sa kwarto ni Andres. It was Nickey, walking towards us. While listening to his footsteps, my heartbeat felt like slowly fading. Nababahala ako sa maaari kong malaman.
"How is he?" Dayana managed asking.
Nickey lowered his head. "Not good."
"What do you mean not good?" asked Bullet with an annoyed tone.
"Buhay siya, pero hindi na niya maigalaw ang buong katawan niya," paliwanag ni Nikey, dahilan para mapaupo si Bullet sa steel bench na malapit sa'min.
"May malay na ba siya?" tanong ko, dinadama ang bilis ng tibok ng aking puso.
"Wala pa," sagot niya. "We need to pray for him. He's in a critical condition right now, and what we need is a miracle."
"Fuck!" I spat, and I wasn't able to control my emotion, so I punched the wall behind me.
Mabilis naman akong nilapitan ni Dayana upang awatin. I wanted to cry, but thinking about Andres and his situation made it hard for me to shed some tears. As we took our moment to contemplate the situation, a familar guy came towards us.
"How is he?" he asked, talking to Nickey.
It was Arrow James Castellan, the archery player and business student of Northside High. Namumugto ang kanyang mga mata, tila katatapos lang niyang umiyak.
"We're waiting for a miracle," said Nickey to him.
Mabilis namang bumuhos ang luha ni Arrow at napaupo sa sahig. Bullet and I looked at each other, both wondering at Arrow's overflowing emotion.
"I'm sorry," he cried. "I didn't mean any of these to happen."
I flinched for what he said, realizing why he was crying so hard. Lalapitan ko na sana siya, ngunit mabilis siyang hinila ni Bullet sa kanyang kwelyo.
"Ikaw ang naka-bangga kay Andres?" tanong ni Bullet. I could feel his anger through his trembling voice.
"I'm sorry," Arrow expressed and continued crying.
In a blink, Bullet punched Arrow on the face that led him dropped on the floor. Mabilis naman kaming pumagitna ni Nickey at pinigilan si Bullet, samantalang si Dayana ay tinulungang bumangon si Arrow. I felt the pain in my injury, but I didn't mind it.
