And again, we were in the hospital. Palagi nalang kaming nandito, kailan kaya yung sa simbahan naman?
It's been months simula noong nandito kami, hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin siya gumigising. Malapit na mag bagong taon pero ganto parin siya.
"Wake up, Dawn." I held her hand and squeezed it.
"Mr. Riego, can I talk to you?"
Napatingin naman ako sa doctor at tumango.
"Dawn is in a critical condition, maaring sa pag gising niya lahat ng memorya niya ay muli na namang mawala, the worse case scenario is that...." My brows furrowed as she stopped, Umiwas ito ng tingin saakin at napa buntong hininga. "She might never wake up.."
Para akong nabingi sa sinabi niya at napaupo sa isang tabi, no... that would never happen. Malakas si Dawn, she would never give up that easily.
Simula noong araw na iyon, I got sleepless nights. iniisip lang palagi si Dawn at natatakot sa mga posibilidad na may mangyare sakaniyang ikinakatakot ko.
"Rafael ano ba 'yan?!" My father shouted as he saw my grades failing.
"Hon, kalma muna." Pagpipigil sakaniya ni mama.
My father stood infront of me as he slapped me and punch me in the face. He was fuming mad but I became numb, kahit anong gawin niya ay hindi ko na maramdaman ang sakit. Hinayaan ko lang siyang gawin iyon saakin habang si mama ay pilit siyang inaawat.
"Ayus-Ayusin mo buhay mo Rafael, wag mong itigil mundo mo para lang sa isang babae!"
My brows furrowed as I heard him say that. lang? babae? Tangina... Dawn isn't just a girl. Fuck, kaya kong gawin lahat para lang sakaniya! I could sacrifice everything that I have.
"Simula ngayon hindi ka na dito mag-aaral." Sambit ni papa kaya naman napatingin ako sakaniya.
"Hon—"
"I'm taking you to states with me, you will continue your education there. Siguro, mas makaka buti pa iyon sayo."
Tangina naman.... ayokong iwan si Dawn! Hindi ko kaya, Hindi pwede.
My mind went blank as I looked myself in the mirror. My nose is bleeding but I couldn't feel the pain. I have busted lips and bruised face. Pero parang wala lang iyon.
Napapikit ako ng mariin at napasabunot sa buhok habang umiiyak sa isang tabi, everything that's going on right now is fucking me up.
My grades are failing, Dawn is in the hospital while she has a possibility of never waking up and now, this... this fucking school at states???? Putcha naman ayoko. Hindi ko kayang iwan si Dawn ngayon pa't nasa critical condition niya.
It was the day of my flight to US and I decided to visit Dawn for the last time, I sat beside her and held her hand.
"D-Dawn, sorry if I have to leave.." I said as a tear fell from my eyes. "Babalik r-rin naman ako, and I promise that w-we will be together." I sighed and hugged her tight. "I love you so much." Isinuot ko sakaniya ang kwintas na mayroong star pendant na ibinigay ko sakaniya noon. "Ayan, so you could remember that I will be always here for you."
I glance at her and kissed her forehead. This is still not a goodbye, because I promise that I'd still make you my wife.
