JINO

Let's delete you in my life Kailene. You have no place in it anymore.

"Jino, samahan mo ako. Drive me to the hospital. Kieran is at the E.R."

"Kieran who?"

"The son of Kailene."

"Bakit daw?"

"Nag seizures daw at naging blue. Tinawagan ni Kirsten"

"Pinabayaan siguro. Di ba si Uncle Dwight neurologist so alam na niya yun"

"Please Jino don't say that. Hindi nila gagawin yun. Buti na lang at gabi ka na naman dumating may mag dadrive sa akin. I'm a neuropedia so I am asked to go."

"Whatever Mom."

KAILENE

Please Lord save Kieran. Please Lord don't let anything bad will happen to him. Siya na lang ang reason bakit ako nabubuhay. Siya lang ang rason bakit ako lumalaban. Please Lord keep my son safe.

"Sweetheart, the doctor is here."

"Auntie Jinkyung is here?"

"Yes. She's with Keiran now."

"I don't know what to do Kevin."

"Don't worry Baby, the Doctor will make sure Kieran will be okay."

"Kevin, what if.... what if..."

"Sssshhhhh don't say anything. Don't say that. Our son will be okay."

"Kailene? Kevin? Keiran is stable now. We need to put him at the ICU to make sure. You can stay there with him. Don't worry, your Dad okayed it. And your Dad is with him now."

"What is wrong with my son Doctor?"

"We're running some tests yet. We're hoping that everything will be okay. I would like to be honest with you, since he doesn't have fever that would make it more dangerous."

"Auntie, will he be okay?"

"As of now, Kieran is stable."

"Thank you Doctor."

"Thank you Auntie.'

"I'm not going home. I will be in my clinic. Your Mom wants me at the mezzanin but my clinic is nearer the ICU."

"Thank you Auntie."

"Don't worry, Jino is with me."

"Jino's here?"

"Yes. He's in my clinic. Sleeping I guess."

"Oh! You got to be kidding me.Sleeping."

"Kevin, it's okay."

"Why? What's wrong Kevin? Kailene?"

"Wala Auntie. Sweetheart, Kev, it's okay."

"I'm sorry Kailene. Sorry Doctor. Nothing's the matter."

Nandito ka din pala. Alam mo kayang naghihirap ngayon ang anak mo? Hindi ka man lang sumilip.

JINO

"Doctor Jimenez, Baby Boy Clarke is code Blue Doctor. You are needed at the ICU stat."

"Bakit Ma?"

"Si Kieran."

Sana bumalik na lang ako sa bahay para hindi ko paulit ulit na naririnig ang emergency call para kay Kieran. Ewan ko pero everytime na banggitin ang Kieran sumisikip ang dibdib ko. Naaalala ko ang pagtataksil sa akin ni Kailene.
