Chapter 18

Her last words

[Lucrad's POV]

"She lost too much blood," sabi ng doctor habang pinapahiran ang kakagamit pa lang na kung-ano at ibinigay ito sa assistant niya.

Lumabas na muna ako ng operating room at nagulat nang makitang lahat ng kakilala ni Heaven ay naroon. Kei was trying his hardest to hush Lin na nag-iiyak even though he himself was crying. Same thing with Jill and Psyche. 'Yung ama niya naman, nasa gilid lang, nakaupo sa sahig hugging his knees while burying his head there. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang bigat ng hangin.

"Jill! Psyche!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ang sarili kong ina at ama na hinihingal. Pa'no sila nakarating dito? More like, pa'no nila nalaman ang nangyari??

"Pare..." mahinang wika naman ng papa ni Heaven. Agad-agad siyang nilapitan nina mom at dad.

"Your daughter..." simula ni papa.

"Yeah... my daughter..." sagot naman ni Ravien.

"I-I'll go stay by Heather's side," boluntaryo ni mama at tumayo. "Please update me, Drake."

Tinignan siya ni papa at marahang tumango. Kumirot ulit ang puso ko. It's all my fault. Kung hindi ko lang sana inalis ang mga mata kay Heaven...  Kung hindi lang sana ako naging pabaya. Kung nailigtas ko lang sana siya.

Lumipas ang ilang oras ng paghihintay at nang bumukas ang pinto, napalingon kaming lahat at agad silang nagsitayuan. "Ka-Kamusta po ang operasyon?" tanong agad ni Ravien.

Tinanggal ng doctor ang suot na mask, "She's safe..." we were about to celebrate nang may idinagdag siya, "...for now, that is."

"Wh...What?" Jill asked, almost breathlessly.

"Some of her organs were damaged badly..." simula ng doctor.

"I-If she needs a donor, I can—"

"I apologize, mister. But the patient herself said she doesn't need a donor."

Pare-pareho kaming natigilan. The one who broke the silence was my dad, "Wh-Why would she say something like that???"

"Sir," simula ulit ng doctor at lumunok muna bago magsalita ulit. "Kahit palitan po namin ang damaged niyang organs, there's a 50-50 percent chance of her survival. Some of her organs have intertwined dahil sa lakas ng impact ng pagtama ng sasakyan sa kanya and she has several broken bones. We did our best to—"

"Your best!!?" bulyaw ni Ravien at kwinelyohan ang doctor. Hinawakan naman siya ng ama ko sa braso habang yung iba naman, napaatras dahil na rin sa gulat at takot. It was obviously the first time this composed, happy man raised his voice. "Where the fck is your BEST in that, you stupid doctor!? Doktor ka diba!? Bakit hindi mo mailigtas ang anak ko!!? Bakit sinasabi mong wala na siyang pag-asa pang mabuhay that even donating organs to her would endanger her life more!? Are you a fraud you fcking asshole!!?"

"Ravien!!" awat ng ama ko sa kanya. Nang nilingon naman siya ni Ravien, sisigawan na sana siya nito nang mapasinghap ang lahat sa ginawa ng ama ko. He just landed a punch on Ravien's face at bumalandara siya sa sahig. "Would you calm down!!?"

"I can't calm down, damn it!!!" tiningala ni Ravien ang ama ko, putok ang labi. "My daughter's in danger and this freaking doctor quack isn't even looking for other ways to save her!!! My daughter's life is in danger and you're telling me to calm down!!? Tarantado ka ba!!? Don't talk to me as if you know what I'm fee—"
