A race car driver was being ripped with his eyesight and a woman he was about to marry, succumb to the darkness of his own misery and pain. He wants nothing but to be secluded from the public eye. A Casanova, being ripped off the chance to a happily...
Napatiim ang bagang ko habang pinapakinggan ang sinasabi ng mga doktor. Ang alam ko lamang paggising ko ay manhid na ang buong katawan ko at may benda na ang mga mata ko. When I woke up, ayokong magtanong kung anong parte ng katawan ko ang nawala. Maybe, at the back of my mind I was a coward to accept the truth. Or to find out the truth.
It's been a week since I have woken up after the operation. And my mother just broke to me the news the other day that Naomi was dead. Pakiramdam ko nagsimulang manginig ang buong katawan ko just by realizing the reality. I wanted to shake this thing off at isipin na isang malaking panaginip lamang ang lahat. Na nasa resthouse lamang ako at kasama si Naomi. Na hindi ako umalis at nagpunta sa bar at hindi...
I feel my remorse welling up so strongly once again. But I have nothing to do in this state. Na hindi ako makakilos ng walang tulong ng kahit na sino. My mother explained to me how badly my legs were fractured because of the accident na kailangan nilang lagyan ng brace ang kabilang hita ko. The doctor admitted it would take a long time before I could use it. And when he says it, I know he is referring to using it in a car race.
The whole process will take me a year or more to recover my legs fully. Whole damn year. The mere thought of my dead fiancee throws me into the pit of hell. Not being able to drag race for a year, buried me deep down in the pit of hell.
And I know there's more to it.
"Your son's vision was affected because of the broken glass of the car pierced through his eye. Not to add he suffered a head injury that may have added more to the blindness. We are lucky that the optic nerves were not damaged despite the shards of glass that penetrated the front part of the cornea. It's good news already. However, the cornea itself has to be replaced with a new one. I suggest your son must undergo corneal grafting. But this procedure is gradual in healing. I must say, it will take months or even a year before the eye can fully recover. The result might take longer time than necessary and sometimes the compatibility of the donor has to agree to the tissue of the patient. As for his legs, a wheelchair might be necessary for two weeks or as long as his legs are ready to support his weight."
I tried not to clench my jaw at the realization of what the doctor is saying.
"W-When are we going to have him operated, Doc?" The anxious voice of my mother broke the silence.
