KLEIN POV

Seeing her in trauma was like pinning me to a kind of pain na ayoko na sanang maramdaman pa. Maggie, of all women, bakit nagawa pa niyang saktan? I've pity myself of letting her go to someone na iiwanan na lang siya. If I were that man, I'll listened to her. I'll make things clear with her. Hindi yung ganito na kamuntik na nyang ikamatay ang lahat kung hindi pa ako dumating. The doctors were checking on her every 2 hours para sa gamot at lahat ng procedures. Since last night, I was contacting Lance through Maggie's phone. Out of 16 miscalls, ni isang response wala akong natanggap. Does he really despise Maggie of what had she done several years ago? Suddenly, I heard Maggie groan hardly. I beeped the nurses station to let them know that she's waking up. The doctors were there to check her up and updated her condition. Out of the moment, she grasped my hands and smiled.

"Are you the patient's companion?", the doctor asked.

"I'm his boyfriend."

"Please follow na lamang po sa mga dapat gawin sa ngayon. Lucky for her she was able to control not to drown that much." ulat nito habang isinusulat ang mga prescriptions.

I nod as I stare her pale face.

"How are you feeling, bunny?" I asked.

"Medyo masakit konti. Have you called Lance?" malungkot niyang tanong.

"He never responded." I bleakly told her. "Why are you looking for someone who just let you go away? Puny*** naman, Maggie. I am here!" My tears rolled off my cheeks and walked away from the place.

She was just there. Silent. Helpless. Still looking for that man and forgetting me all alone.

MAGGIE POV

Hearing Yohan in pain was worse than thinking that Lance despise me. Mas mahirap ata pag yung totoong nagmamahal sayo ang nasasaktan kaysa doon sa akala mong minahal ka. This is not like I'm choosing Yohan over Lance. Its just that Yohan was not just a friend to me but a man who is willing to save and love me more than anyone has. All I can do was to stare into the horizon of the room. Ang dami na palang nangyari. Lance despise me about knowing the truth. Our soon break up. And now Yohan is displeased of what I did of rejecting him. Umiyak na lang ako habang iniinda ang sakit na dala ng gamot at karayom. Minutes later, my parents called me. They scold me dahil sa katigasan ng ulo and not admitting what had really happen.

Kring! Kring! Kring!

Lauren Guzman is calling...

I pressed the accept button and she shrieked.

"What the heck did you do to yourself?!" Lauren blurted.

I frowned and cried. "I hurt Lance..." And I sighed while nagpupunas ng luha. "I wish naging totoo man lang ako sa kanya..." I replied.

" We already told you before and what now..." sermon nito.

"I know. I just really need to accept that I'm a mess..."

Lauren suddenly teared up. " Shhh stop crying baby... Nandito naman kami eh..."

LANCE POV

16 miscalls from Maggie? At nakuha pa talaga niya akong tawagan sa kabila ng galit ko sa kanya. As much as I don't wanna stress myself out, I am still thinking that I'm in a big owe with Abby's help. Biruin mong natiis pa niya ang gaya while enduring the pain of loss. Bigla ko tuloy naisip ang napanaginipan ko tungkol sa kanya. Of all dreams, why on Earth ganun na lang ako sobrang natanggay nu'n? A wet dream. Am I that too obsessed with the idea of wanting her? Ay naku! Maghunus-tili ka Lance...this is not yet the appropriate time to be feisty. As I passed by the pedia ward, I've seen her wondrous beauty. Napakamaalaga sa mga bata however para yatang hinahabol siya ng nakaraan niya. Calm down, Lance...Mas maganda ang paandar mo. I let go of a sigh and just continue staring at her.
