Until her Last Breath

One shot story

I was looking on the picture on my hand.Hindi ko maipag kakaila ang saya namin ng babaeng pinakamamahal ko ng kuhaan kami ng isang waiter matapos ko syang surpresahin.My eyes landed on the side table near on the chair I've seated. I smiled when I saw the picture on a frame,I held it as my hand touched the image of my beloved wearing her beautiful white dress while holding a bouquet of a beautiful white flower on her both hands.

"a-ang saya nyo nang araw na yan!"I turn my back to see who owns with that voice.And there I saw my mother in law with his sweet smiled that suddenly goes into bitterness.I keep my silent and look again to our picture.

"i-ijo---I know its hard for you---g-ganun din s-samin--b-but please?--wag kang panghinaan ng loob-- a-ayokong makita tayo ni shawntle na nag kakaganito--m-mas masasaktan s-sya if she saw as in pain!!" I can't  help but to cry when I heard the mother of mg wife sobbing.Hindi ko kaya!! I know she's right but damn!! Sinong tao ang magiging masaya kung sasandaling na kasama mo ang taong pinakamamahal mo ay malalaman mo na mawawala rin pala sayo!!

"t-the d-doctor said na malala na ang sakit nya--n-ni hindi na kayang gamotin--t-tuloyan ng bumigay ang kidney n-nya--sabi ng doctor k-kung mas naagapan daw sana kakayanin nya pa taking the dialysis--p-pero hindi--"I hug the mother of my wife as she continued crying,I know its hurt them alot,tulad ko hindi ko rin lubos maisip na ganun kadali ang magiging pagsasama namin.I can't accept that she have those fucking illness.Hinayaan ko lang na umiyak sa mga bisig ko ang ina ng babaeng pinakamamahal ko.

"please hijo!!--d-dont leave my daughter she needed you the most--I can't believe na mangyayare sa anak ko ang ganitong bagay--s-she's only 25 a-and I don't w-want to lose my d-daughter--m-my princess!!"muling pumatak ang mga luha sa aking mga mata because of what my mother in law said.

she not going to leave me! We still have plans to make.She's not going to leave me!!

Yaan lagi ang mga katagang pilit kong tinatanim sa utak ko.I need to be strong for her.kumawala ako sa pag kakayakap sa ina nang babaeng pinakamamahal ko saka nag salita.

"s-she's a strong woman and I still believe that there is a miracle,she will recover soon,she will be fined--I-I talk to her doctor b-baka s-sakaling m-may I-iba p-pang p-paraan--"sambit ko sa ina ng asawa ko at wala na akong pakialam kung pumiyok man ako dahil sa tuloy tuloy na pag agos ng mga luha sa mata ko.Muli kong narinig ang hagulgol ni mama dahil sa sinabi ko.I know that she already lose her hope.Pero ako naniniwala pa rin ako na may mahahahanap pa kaming paraan.

A day passed and I can still saw being hopeless on their eyes.Nasa loob ako ng kwarto kung saan nakaadmit ang taong pinakamamahal ko.Pinag masdan ko ang kabuon ng kanyang mukha.Its been a day since I admitted her pero ang laki na agad ng pinag bago ng mukha nya.She's pale and even her body lose her weight.Seeing my girl in that situation make me cried again.I felt that my hearts broke into pieces.I never though na makikita ko ang pinakamamahal ko sa ganitong kalagayan.I rush to wiped the tears that drops on my eyes when I saw her eyes slowly open.I force to smiled on her but she just stare at me.

"o-owh!! I-I'm s-sorry I don't recognize you immediately! I'm s-sorry hon!"I tried to hold my eyes because of what she said.Ito ang isa sa mga kinakatakot ko when she couldn't remember who am I to her because of her illness.

"sir tatapatin ko ho kayo,malala na ho ang lagay ng asawa ninyo,she's suffering the failure function of her kidney,at hindi lang po ito basta isa but both of her kidney fail to function.We can do surgery sana if na agapan but in her case ikinalulongkot ko hong sabihin na nalalabi na lang angkanyang mga araw.Isa sa mga nagiging effect nito sa katawan ng iyong asawa ay ang paninikip ng kanyang dibdib hindi sya makahinga and it can affect her brain too dahil na rin sa mas mataas ang creatinine nya sa red blood nya maaari syang mawala sa huwesyon because of lack of blood kung saan ang ating dugo ay ang carrier ng oxygen."
