Chapter 27: Revelations

Mabilis pa sa alas kwatro kaming kumilos. I was in panicked. My hands are trembling from fear. What's wrong with him? This is the first time na may nangyaring ganito. I know my baby is strong, I know that. Right, baby?

When the car finally started moving, I held Rage tight, praying that we'd get to the hospital in time. His condition was worsening.

"Mommy..." He whispered, and my heart shattered. His voice was weak, but hearing him say something made me cling to hope.

"Rage, just hang on, please. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s not going anywhere," I whispered as I kissed his forehead. I tried my best to keep myself together, but with each passing second, I felt like I was losing him.

The hospital felt like it was miles away. Summer kept talking to me, but I couldn’t focus on her words. The only thing I could think of was Rage and how I was failing him as his mother.

It was a blur...

Pagdating namin sa ospital, I rushed inside with Rage in my arms. My legs were shaking, but I had to stay strong for him. I handed him over to the medical staff, and they quickly took him in.

It felt like hours passed, though I knew it had only been a few minutes. Parang nababaliw na ako habang hinihintay kung ano man ang ginagawa ng mga doctor sa loob.

The doctor finally approached me, her face grave.

“Your son has a rare condition,” she began. “He has severe anemia—his bone marrow isn’t producing enough blood cells. We need to perform a blood transfusion immediately to save his life.”

I felt my blood run cold. “Blood transfusion? But… who could be a match for him?”

“We’ve run some tests. Unfortunately, his blood type is very rare, and we have no one in the hospital who matches." she stated.

"Ako, doc. I'm his mother for sure mag ma-match naman sa akin, diba?" my voice cracked. My poor baby...

I left with the doctor. They did what they needed to do. Para akong nawalan ng hininga when she stated that hindi match ang blood type namin.

"I'm sorry, Ms. How about the father? Is he here? Maybe he's the only hope." nanlamig ako sa aking narinig.

Lumabas muna ako sa kwartong yon. Do I really need Thunder on this case? Pano pag nalaman niya na anak niya si Rage?

No! Of course. Malalaman niya.

Shut up Amora! Anak mo ang pinag-uusapan dito. Just throw your pride for now.

I know Thunder's number... from work.

The decision was clear, but my heart twisted painfully at the thought. Thunder. The man who had once been my world and then, in an instant, turned it all upside down. The man who had left me and my son, and had become a shadow in our lives.

But Rage needed him. My son needed him. The cold, clinical reality of the situation hit me hard. I had no other choice.

I closed my eyes for a moment, gathering my strength. There was no avoiding it anymore. I had to call him.

I reached for my phone, my fingers trembling as I dialed his number. It rang once, twice… and then his voice answered, familiar and smooth but laced with annoyance.

"Who the hell is this?"

"Oh I'm sorry. Nagising ba kita? It's Amora..." I heard him move.

"Oh sorry, what do you want?" he sounds gentle now.
