Chapter 21: How Is She?

Third Person's POV

Tumakbo si Bryan palabas ng villa at sinundan siya ng kanyang ama na nag-aalala kung bakit tumatakbo ang kanyang anak.

"Bryan!" sigaw ng kanyang Daddy at huminto naman si Bryan na bakas sa mukha ang pag-aalala

"What's happening?" tanong ng kanyang ama at sinusubukan siyang pakalmahin dahil nawawalan na siya ng hininga

"D..dad, s..si Amber" was the last words Bryan said before fainting

At doon naman tayo sa Philippines. While Bryan fainted from nervousness, Amber is now on a hospital bed being observed by the doctors. Even her parents are not allowed to come inside. Sterile. That's what doctors always say.

Mr. and Mrs. Aguilar are now on the waiting area hoping that their daughter would be okay. Mrs. Aguilar is now bursting all her tears and it seems that she can't stop no matter how hard her husband comfort her. She is worried sick of her daughter. This is not the first time Amber was sent to the hospital.

The hospital seemed to be Amber's hangout place on her past. These days, they were thankful that their daughter didn't show any signs of being brought to the hospital. But today is different. Amber just suddenly got attacked of her disease. It was a miracle that their daughter still survived. And it breaks their heart seeing their beloved daughter suffer.

"Honey, okay na siya diba? Please stop crying......." Mr. Aguilar mumbled to his wife who is still in tears

"I..I just can't stop, honey. I feel like I have been a bad mother. I haven't took care of her these days..... I feel like its all my fault." she said in between her tears

"Honey, hindi mo naman kasalanan. No one wanted this to happen to our daughter. Don't blame yourself for this." sabi ni Mr. Aguilar habang hinahagod nito ang likod ng kanyang asawa

Nakakabinging katahimikan ang bumalot sa waiting area ng emergency room. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas at tumunog ang cellphone ni Mr. Aguilar.

"Hello?" pagsagot ni Mr. Aguilar sa tawag na hindi naman niya alam kung sino dahil hindi na siya nag-abalang tingnan ang caller ID

[Aguilar.......kamusta si Amber? Is she okay?] tanong ng tao sa kabilang linya

Mr. Aguilar then look at his phone and his brows creased. It was Mr. Villegas. Bryan's father.

"Villegas.......how, how did you know? Diba wala kayo sa Pilipinas? Where did you get the news?"

[My son fainted earlier when he was trying to leave from the event we went to. He said Amber's name so I got worried. Bryan and I are on the plane going back to Manila. Maybe tomorrow morning, Amber can see Bryan on the waiting area. Be strong, Aguilar. You and your wife needs it.]

"Salamat, Villegas. I'll hang up. I need to see if there is any improvement." Mr. Aguilar stated and ended the call

That is when Mr. Aguilar carried his wife to their car and went home to let his wife sleep peacefully and then he went back to the hospital with the things that the doctors might need. He also brought the syringe which Amber always bring with her. He sat right outside the door of the emergency room and fell asleep for an hour or two.

Bryan's POV

I woke up from a deep sleep. Ano bang nangyari? I groped my head because my sight started spinning. Nahihilo ako. What is happening to me?!

"Bryan?! Are you okay? Tell me. What's wrong with you?" I heard Dad asked

I held onto his arm and pressed my eyes shut. Why is my head swirling in pain?! Too much pain. Too much..........

***

I suddenly felt the urge to wake up and that is what I did. I stood up abruptly and oppositely from what I expected, my head didn't ache.

I roamed my eyes around an unfamiliar but seemingly familiar room. Its scent lingers on the tip of my nose and its quite a scent I have knew for quite some time. Hospital. I'm in a hospital but why am I in here?

Amber........

"Amber!" biglaan kong sigaw and the door burst open

"Bryan?! What happened? May masakit ba sayo? Is your head still hurting? If so, I'll call the doctor. Anak, tell me. Anong nangyari?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Dad saakin

Tiningnan ko siya at umiling lang ako.

"I'm fine, Dad. I just remembered Amber. Kamusta na siya? Is she okay? Pwede ko ba siyang makita? Dad?! Answer me! Please!" I hysterically stated and Dad looked at me

Naglakad siya palapit saakin at ngumiti.

"She's fine. Everything is fine now. She just got out of hospital and under monitoring in their house. Visitors aren't allowed to visit her on night time. She needs rest. And visitors might trouble her and break the progress. Maghintay na lang tayo anak. She's just curing from her disease. Baka kapag nakakita siya ng tao, bumalik ulit ang sakit niya. Let's just look at the brighter picture, okay? She'll be fine for a month or two. Kapag okay na siya, you can visit her. I'll call her Dad if you really are eager to see her." mahabang saad ni Dad at agad na tinawag ang secretary niya para kunin ang kanyang cellphone

Palabas na sana yung secretary niya para kunin ang cellphone ni Dad sa kotse nang pigilan ko siya. I don't want to disturb her.

"Huwag na po. It's okay, Dad. I'll wait patiently." I said and laid down the bed again

I scratched the back of my hand and kept thinking of Amber. Even though I said na maghihintay ako, I'm still worried. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang nangyari sakanya. I'm clueless as hell and it's killing me!

By any chance, there would be a big possibility that I won't just sit my ass off in this crappy bed while Amber is somewhere in their house suffering from who knows what. Curiosity is slowly killing me.

Kailangan ko malaman kung ano ba ang dahilan to the extent that Tita called me. When I heard Tita crying, I know trouble was somewhere near. Hindi ko alam, instincts maybe? There is this gut feeling that Amber is in danger and she needs me by her side. What really is happening with her?

Anytime soon, I would feed this curiosity in me. And I think that what I would know is something that would break me down. But I won't let that happen, Amber needs me.
