AC's POV

I am shaking..trembling..I felt so nervous.. while slowly opening the door.

I took a deep sigh and slowly walk inside the room..

Where Brace is lying in the hospital bed, with many apparatus that are connected in his different body parts.

I put first the fruits and the flowers I brought in the bedside table.

I saw his mother sleeping in the sofa with his sister across the bed.

I know they haven't home yet since yesterday. His mother told me they don't have any relatives here in Manila. So they do the caring alone. I'm feeling that I should take the responsibility over, since it should be me lying in that hospital bed.

I tap his sister shoulder slowly and she lazily open her eyes..they don't have rest yet.

"Hey..I'll take over..you should go home muna, take your mother, I'll be incharge here."

"It's Okey AC, kaya pa namin"

"Your mother should rest too..beke mepeeno pe siya"

"O sige..babalik din kami agad"

"Okey" I smile to his sister..

She tap his mother cheeks and tell her mother to go home and have some rest.

"Uwi po muna keyo, I'll take over..I'll call you if ever Brace wake up"

Brace mother hold my hand and smile at me.

"Hindi ko alam kung ano ang relasyun ninyo ng anak ko at nagsakripisyo siya ng ganyan, peru hindi kita sinisisi sa nangyari, dahil kahit ulit-ulitin man ang nangyari alam kong gagawin parin niya yun"

"Sorry poh"

"Wala kang dapat ihingi ng tawad ija..siguro mahalagang-mahalaga ka sa anak ko..gusto kita..kung magkakanobya man si Brace pagkatapos nito..gusto kong kagaya mo" She hold my face with her both hands.

Then they went out in the room.

I am left..alone..

Am I worth of Brace sacrifice? I don't know..and I don't have also an idea that he can do this.

He must have a big heart.

I sit beside Brace bed..I hold his hands..

"Brace you wake na please..aren't you get tired of sleeping for almost two days?" yeah..he haven't open his eyes yet..the doctor told us he should wake up today..to surpass his critical stage.

I let go of a sigh.

"Promise when you wake up I'll be more friendly to you..just please wake up"

But still, he doesn't move. I don't wanna think he'll be comatose. Di ko kekeyanin ang guilt.

I hold his hands tight.

______________

I don't know that I fall asleep.. I felt something is moving in my hands. I open my eyes and saw Brace index finger moving.

I get up hurriedly in the chair and called his name.

"Brace..you heard me??mey mesekit be seyu??..oh! I should call a doctor"

When I was about to let go of his hands, hi grab it back.

"Stay..please"

"Yeah..yeah..I'll stay..wait I'll just call a doctor"

He hold my hands tighter. "Huwag mo akong iwan"

"No..I'll stay..I'll just need to call a doctor to check you up"
