SAYANG

3

It took me 30 minutes to reach St. Luke's BGC. There was no traffic but I was so nervous as to what happened to my father that I decided to just stay calm. Knowing that if Papa was hurt or something, my sister would be there to give him proper care he needed. She's a doctor after all.

Upon reaching the parking lot, I spotted my Kuya's car, so I parked beside him. I was guessing Ate already called him, and his house being nearer to BGC, he got here faster.
When I entered the ER, I immediately saw my younger brother who is now a resident in the same hospital having his rounds and as calm as he always is. So I wondered what happened to Papa, bakit umiiyak si Ate nung tumawag sakin. He saw me, tinapos niya muna yung pag assist sa patient before he went near me.

"Oh, Ate? Ang aga mo ha." Sabi niya as he approached me with a beso.
"Tumawag si Ate, umiiyak. Sabi si Papa tapos pumunta raw ako dito. Nasan ba sila?" I asked him.
"Ang OA talaga nun."
"Anong OA? Napaano ba si Papa? Aksidente or what? Is he okay? Ano?" Natataranta na ako. But he just laughed at me.
"Hay nako talaga. Pati si Kuya pinapunta dito. Eh kagagaling lang nun sa night duty. Ang OA kasi talaga ni Achi, Ate. Wala namang nangyari kay Papa. Truth is may tinulungan si Papa na naaksidente. Tapos ang sabi nung naaksidente, she needs a lawyer badly." Natatawang kwento ng bunso kong kapatid as we were walking to the room where my Papa, Ate, Kuya and the person who needs a lawyer are.

We knocked twice and then we went inside, I looked around the room saw that my ever worrier of an Ate is carrying a new born baby, a lady on a hospital bed, my Kuya who looks super tried, and my Papa who is all smiles upon seeing us enter the room.
Lumapit ako kay Papa to check if he has any injuriea or what, na ikinagulat niya.

"Uy! Mika! Ano ba yang ginagawa mo?"
"Eh Papa. Ok ka naman pala. Bakit ano nandito? At Ate, ano yung iyak iyak mo?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA." They laughed in unison. Pati yung babaeng nakahiga sa hospital bed.
"Miks, meet Ashley. Ashley, my sister, Mika, a lawyer. "
"Hi!" I said as I waved at her.
"Hi Mika! Ah so ikaw pala yung kinikwento nilang lawyer? Ashley" sabi niya habang inilalahad ang kamay para makipag kamay.
"Miks, oh. Baby ni Ashley. She just gave birth less than an hour ago."
"Mukha nga Ate. Ikaw kuya? Why are you here?"
I asked as I turned to look at my gwapong Kuya na mukhang 5 araw ng walang tulog.
"Magaling din kasi tong si Lucrecia eh. Pati ako tinawagan, umiiyak din. Kalalabas ko lang sa ospital, sabi si, "Kuyaa... huhuhu. Si Papa"" my brother tries to mimic my sister, Which made me laugh.
"Tapos dadatnan kong kalalabas lang ng delivery room. Tatawa tawa. "
