I can't believe they knew all this time. Right now, I feel terrible and bad for lying this much. People between Christine and I will stand for me and surely will lie to her too. Frances asked me about my plans on how will I remember, I just said 'secret' but I'm a jerk for doing everything but it's all fraud. 'Cause I don't have any idea how to make me remember everything.
Though, I am doing everything I can but damn, nothing's in my head. I only remember when I proposed to her 5 years ago, that's all. Nothing more!
Christine's excited to remember all our memories. Everything will back into pieces in her life. All the moments we had together and time we shared, I want them to remember all. But how? My mind is not taking action at all.
"Ang lalim ng iniisip mo."
My senses back as I heard my father's voice behind me. I took a deep breath secretly. I feel so tired. I'm in a bad shape that I don't know how to handle it.
"Trying to get the stress away." I lied while looking at the city from outside.
He stand beside me. "You want to play chess?" he asked.
"I'd love to but not today, Pa." I answered. I want to rest. I want to think alone.
"Ayaw mo ba talaga ikaw ang pumalit sa akin?" he asked out of nowhere.
I looked at him. He's seriously looking straight from the glass wall where you can see the city up here. "Pa..." I said.
He half-smiled. "You know, this hospital is our only legacy. Many people are counting on us, lalo na ang mas nangangailangan. At this age, I want to enjoy the rest of my life." he sincerely stated.
I saw how dedicated he was. Hindi ganito ang mararating nitong ospital without him. Hindi ganito ang mararating namin sa buhay without him. But, am I worthy to handle the hospital? Buhay ko hindi ko maasikaso ng mabuti, buhay pa kaya ng marami? I'm doubting myself.
"Bakit ka naging isang doktor?" he asked me.
Before, I badly wanted to become a doctor because of my mother. Time changed my reason... to help my father to run this hospital. I promised that I will become one. Yet, it changed again, I don't want to become a doctor anymore. Two years ago gave me enough reason to stop.
"I don't think I can be as good as you. You're far better than me, Pa. People will-"
He chuckled. Then fixed his eyeglasses. "You're my son. I know you will do better. Pwede ba pag-isipan mo muli? This hospital needs you. I'm not leaving as you will say yes. Tutulungan at gagabayan pa rin kita." he pleaded.
"You only asked me for 3 months as substitute. Extended na, Pa for one month." I said.
Where the hell is Doc Ramirez now? Masyado na ata sya nagsasaya sa LA.
"It's been two years, hindi talaga madali kalimutan ang insidente na iyon. You're traumatized but think of it, you're doing a good job for three months." He said.
