Jong's POV
"Okay okay.. We're on our way to the souvenir shop. Dont worry ive got it all listed so chill." I assured Ed over the phone for his been pestering me since yesterday by reminding me to buy this and that
Enrico's field trip ends later today and our last stop is the souvenir shop.
It's past 5pm when our bus depart but then it started raining. My phone's been ringing cause of Ed and as i answered it i heard a deafening sound then felt the bus collided into something, instinct and adrenalin kicked in and i engulfed my son into a hug to protect him from the impact.
I hit my head in the window then the ceiling but at least Enrico's safely tucked in my body.
"Nak, may masakit sayo? Are you okay?" I asked Enrico
"Im fine dad" he replied then smiled
The last thing ive heard was a woman shouting instructing the kids to follow her before i passed out.
I felt someone moving me and saw a woman assisting my son. I tried to call enrico to no avail and i was boarded an ambulance.
My wounds had been treated and i was given some medications, soon after i was discharged. As i approached the information booth my phone buzzed
"Tol, what the hell happened? Where are you? Are you okay?" Ed bombarded me with questions
"We had an accident tol but im fine and just trying to locate Enrico." I informed him
"We're max 2 hours away tol." He told me then hang up
"Mr Federico Martinez, yong anak nyo po ay nasa OR. 3rd floor." The receptionist said i sprinted towards the elevator get to the OR
As soon as i stepped out of the lift, i was greeted by an all familiar figure whom i missed so much but now is not the time for that cause my son's in the operating table as we speak.
I hesitantly tap her shoulder and when she raised her head, shock was written all over her face but was able to masked it immediately.
Fuck i missed her so much pero hindi talaga ito ang tamang panahon.
The 1st time i asked her about Enrico i know she's not telling me the entire truth for she still suck at lying so i asked her again.
This time she told me the situation in all honesty.
She held my hands as she reassured me that everything's will be fine this time i lost it i pulled her into a hug, crying because of what my son's undergoing, for missing her so much, being sorry for all the pain ive caused her.
The doctor asked me to follow the nurse to have my blood tested for Enrico needs blood since he's lost a lot.
I went to the restroom but as i returned i saw Elvie talking to Gio but based on Elvie's looks its more than just talking as i approach them and tried to get their attention, Gio told me that the nurse wants to see Enrico's mom.
My heart rate partly accelerated for some reason. Pero kinabahan na ako nong pinapasok kami sa loob ng lab, damn this is not good.
"Mr. Martinez, sya po ba ang mommy ng bata?" The nurse asked
"Oo, ako nga at bakit ano ang kailangan mo sa akin?" Elvie asked the nurse and nagtataray pa. The nurse just pursed her lips
"Hindi po nag match ang blood type ni Mr. Martinez at ng bata so kayo na lang po ang option bago tayo kumuha sa blood bank." The nurse informed her. Its as if she was taken aback by the information that our blood type didnt match, the look in Elvie's face is something i cant decipher but i know there's something wrong.
"Bes, Sabi ni Doc Migs kelangan ng marrow transplant kay baby enrico." I think MedTech yon nag inform sa nurse
"Check mo if pwede si Mr. Martinez" the nurse told the medtech
After a few minutes the nurse is back,
"Im sorry Mr. Martinez pero di ka pwede mag donate para kay baby Enri-" she was cut of by Elvie
"Thats bullshit, he's the father why cant he?" Elvie's tapping her shoe annoyingly
"Kasi po ma'am hindi pwedeng mag donate ang hindi kamag-anak." The nurse deadpanned and i was dumbfounded did she just say that Enrico's not my son?
"Gago ka ba? Nasan ang director ng hospital na to?" This time sumisigaw na si Elvie but the nurse didnt flinch just straight faced
"Malinaw po sa test na hindi sila magkamag-anak dahil hindi man lang tumuntong ng 40% ung match ng DNA nila. Ngayon mamili ka ma'am ipagpipilitan mong si Mr. Martinez tlaga ang biological father ni Enrico at irereklamo ako sa director namin o ikaw na ang mag undergo ng test para makapag transfuse na ng dugo kay baby Enrico at maprepare na ang marrow transplant asap. Your call." The nurse challenged Elvie i didnt hear what the fuck Elvie's answer to that for i stormed out of the room
"Sorry." I apologized to the person i bumped into
"Jong, where are you going?" Then i realized it was Ed who i bumped into he's with Khaye and Joms.
After a couple of hours we head back to the hospital but i havent told them anything yet
"Dad, are you okay? Does your arm hurt?" Enrico asked as i approached the hospital bed the following day. Oh how my heart ached knowing that he's not really mine - i cant imagine how will he take it once he founds out.
"I should be asking you those questions, young man." I countered and he smiled
"Im fine now dad and thanks to tita Gio for helping all of us in the bus."
