“Maymay, I know you’re really distraught but we need your decision now. Swerte pa tayo ngayon na naka-recover si Barbs pero habang tumatagal siya dito, hindi natin malalaman talaga kung ano ang damage sa loob at tuloy-tuloy ang pagsusuka niya ng may dugo. I’m working blind here. I don't know how to help him without those scans.”
“I ... I’m ... Huhuh u... I’m sorry, Barbs. Anong gagawin ko?”
“Nics? Nics! What happened?”
“Chard! Si Barbs ... huhuhu ... Si Barbs ...”
“It’s okay. Come here. There. It’s okay. He’s gonna be okay.”
“Chard ... I don’t know what to do. I can’t lose Barbs. Hindi ko kakayanin.”
“Nics ... Sige lang. Diyan ka lang. Iiyak mo lang yan diyan sa dibdib ko. Nandito lang ako. Your shoulder to cry on. Ako na muna.”
“Chard ...”
“Doc, ano po ba kailangan gawin para kay Barbs?”
“Kamag-anak din kayo ng pasyente?”
“I’m Nica Mae’s husband Richard Jameson.”
“Ah! Mr. Jameson. RFJ02 Corp. I thought you looked familiar. Sorry, Sir. I didn’t know you were related.”
“It’s okay. You were saying about the patient?”
“Ah, yes. What I was telling Mrs. Jameson was we need to move your friend to a bigger hospital. Kulang ang facilities ng hospital na to para sa case ni, Mr. Ballesteros.”
“Okay. Make the arrangements. We’re moving Barbs to the best hospital.”
“We’ll call the ambulance now. Nurse, yung papers paki ayos na agad.”
“Yes, Doc.”
“Chard?”
“We’ll talk about it later. Para kay Barbs. Pasasalamat ko to sa kaniya for taking care of you and BenBen. You can’t say no to this, Nics. Can you?”
“No. I guess not. Thank you, Chard.”
“Don’t thank me. WE are doing this for him. Nics, sa iyo ang lahat ng sa akin. You’re my wife.”
“Pero ...”
“I know. Marami tayong pag-uusapan. Marami tayong aayusin but please, Nics. Let me do this for you, for Barbs especially for BenBen. I know he will be devastated if anything happens to his Tatay Barbs.”
“Okay. Pero Chard ...”
“Nics, please. Mas importante ang kalagayan ni Barbs ngayon. Stop arguing. Itabi mo muna yang pride mo.”
“Hindi naman yun.”
“Eh ano?”
“I was going to say na you can let go of me now. Medyo ... uhm ...”
“Shit! How did you do that?”
“I didn’t do anything. I just hugged you back. Yang ano mo ang nang-aano. Hihihi ...”
“I know. It’s been so long. I missed you so much.”
“Chard?”
“Hmmm?”
“You’re still not letting go. And it’s … uhm … harder.”
“Hmmm … Yeah. I’m still trying to make a tough decision. To keep holding you like this and let you feel how much I miss you or carry you to my car and …”
“Chard, we’re in a hospital. People are watching now. We have an emergency.”
“Damn it! Oo nga. Sorry. Restroom lang ako.”
“Yeah. You should.”
“I’ll be back. Just sign everything needed to transfer Barbs. Babalik ako agad.”
“I doubt it but yes. Just go.”
“Diyan ka lang.”
“I’ll be here. Sanay naman akong maghintay sa’yo.”
“Gusto mo sumama ka para di ka maghintay.”
“No! Go! Susmadre! Ngingisi pa ang loko. May emergency kami dito oh. Kaloka.”
”Ma’am Nics, dito po. Ready na po yung mga pipirmahan ninyo. Ma’am? Okay lang po ba kayo? Pulang pula po kayo eh.”
“Ha? Ah oo. Okay lang ako. Tara na.”
