Chapter 71 - Selfless
[Daddy Leo's POV]
"Mom! Help! Si Jessica!"
We heard Ashley shouted and I immediately went down para tignan.
"Jessica! Wake up!"
Nagmadali ako when I saw her lying on the floor, unconcious.
"What happened?!"
"H-hindi ko po alam. Napahawak siya sakin tapos.. bigla na lang siyang nawalan ng malay--"
"What's happening here? Ugh--what happened to her?" Dumating si Almira kasunod si Manang Fe.
"Jusko, Jessica!"
Binuhat ko siya at agad na dinala sa ospital.
Hinintay pa namin na matapos siyang i-check ni Dr. Hidalgo bago kami pumasok sa room niya. Wala pa din siyang malay at may nakakabit na dextrose sa kaniya.
As soon as nakita ko 'yong itsura niya, nanghina ako. Ugh. Kaya pala lagi siyang naka-long sleeves at pajama dahil tinatago niya 'yong mga pasa niya.
Jessica.
"Hindi mo pa ba alam?" Tanong ni Dr. Hidalgo. I just looked at him. Kinakabahan ako. Hindi maganda 'yong pakiramdam ko. Pamilyar sakin 'to eh. Hindi pwede. Please tell me she's okay. Hindi ko kakayanin kapag may nangyaring masama sa kaniya.
"Ano po bang.. nangyari sa kaniya?" Almira asked.
Dr. Hidalgo looked at me.
"Nagpunta si Jessica sakin, more than a week ago para magpa-check up."
"Nagpacheck up siya sa inyo?"
"Yes."
"Hindi niya nabanggit sakin 'yong tungkol do'n."
"Looks like, hindi pa nga din niya nababanggit 'yong resulta." Natahimik kami at nag-abang sa sasabihin niya. Please, tell me she's fine. "She is diagnosed with Chronic Lymohocythic Leukemia, and it's already at the third stage."
Ugh.
No.
"Same as her Mom's."
Napatakip ng bibig si Almira at Ashley, napahawak naman sa dibdib si Manang Fe. Samantalang ako, hindi makagalaw aa kinatatayuan ko at kusa nang tumulo 'yong luha ko.
"No. It can't be.. please, not again."
"I suggested na magpa-admit na siya no'ng araw na kinuha niya 'yong resulta and I told her na tatawagan na lang kita but she refused. Ang sabi niya siya na daw 'yong bahalang magsabi sayo pero mukhang.. hindi pa niya nasabi."
Hindi na ko nakapagsalita.
Why? Why does it need to happen again?
Not her, please. Hindi siya pwedeng mawala. Kailangan niyang gumaling.
Dr. Hidlago showed me the results. Ugh. I don't what to do. All I jnow is kailangan niyang gumaling. Hindi ako papayag na mawala din siya sakin. Hindi ko kakayanin.
"Give her the best medications she needs to have. Kapag kaya niya na, dadalhun ko siya sa America."
"Yes, Mr. Del Mundo. Ako na'ng bahala, don't worry. We will do our best. Para sa'n pa at kami ang most trusted hospital sa buong Pilipinas? Advanced na ang technologies ngayon and makakaasa ka na bubuti 'yong lagay niya with our help."
"Thank you. Magbabayad ako ng kahit na ga'no kalaking halaga, pagalingin niyo lang siya."
Bumalik na ko sa room niya and I suddenly remembered when she asked me about how did her Mom told me that she was sick. Ugh. I didn't even noticed that she was actually hinting something and I am too dumb not to notice her pain.
