Chapter 23: Heart State

Chapter 23

WALA pa ring malay ang asawa ko pero sabi naman ng mga doctor stable na ang lagay niya. Mabuti na lang at sakto ang dating ko kanina. I couldn't imagine what would might happen to her if I didn't come on time. Pinagmasdan ko siya— binabantayan ang kaniyang bawat paghinga.

"Don't leave me please." Hinagkan ko ang kamay niyang hawak ko.

Magdamag ko siyang binantayan sa ospital. Hindi muna ako nag-duty. Gusto ko nasa tabi ko lang siya. Ilang taon na akong nasa medical field at sanay na rin akong makakita ng mga pasyente pero pagdating sa kaniya nanghihina ako.

"Good morning," bati ko nang magising siya.

"Treiv, anong oras na?"

I looked at my wristwatch.

"It's five in the morning, lye."

"Binantayan mo ako?"

"Um." I nodded.

"N-Natulog ka man lang ba?"

"Um." I lied.

Magdamag akong hindi natulog dahil binabantayan ko siya. Natatakot ako na baka may mangyaring hindi maganda tapos tulog ako. Inalalayan ko siya nang subukan niyang maupo. I set her bed too to make sure na komportable siya.

"Anong gusto mong kainin?"

"Gusto ko ng may sabaw."

"Sige magpapa-deliver ako. I love you." I kissed her forehead.

"Sorry kung pinag-alala na naman kita."

I didn't say anything and just hugged her instead.

Yes, wife, you made me f*cking worry. You even scared me to death.

"Kumusta pakiramdam mo? May masakit ba sa 'yo?"

"Okay na ako. Medyo nanghihina lang. Alam na ba nila Inay ang nangyari?"

"Yes. I called in the house immediately after I brought you here. Then after an hour, your mom and brother came with Guava. They brought some clothes for you." I pointed the red bag on the couch.

She looks tired and weak. I hate this so much. I hate seeing her in this situation. Namirah is a good person. She didn't hurt anybody, so why does she need to experience this?

"Anong sabi ng doktor?" tanong niya, sakto namang pasok ng doctor.

"How's my wife, Doctor Chavez?"

"I will be honest to you, Doctor Conzego. It would be better for your wife to have a heart transplant."

"What?" I asked with doubt.

I don't know why Namirah needs a heart transplant. To cure atherosclerosis a patient just need to undergo surgery in the arteries. And sometimes it can be cured by proper healthy life style and medication. I looked at my wife. I held her hand to remind her na nandito lang ako sa tabi niya. 

"I think surgery and medicine will work."

Napailing-iling ang doctor na nagbigay sa akin ng takot. I know this is not good. I kissed my wife's hand. Sinusubukan kong tatagan ang loob ko dahil ayaw ko siyang panghinaan.

"Based on the result of the test we did, aside from we saw a problem in her coronary artery, we also saw a..."

"What?! Spill it now, Dr. Chavez." I don't really want to hear it but we have to.
