At this point, see to it that we're nearing the end and we'll taking this road lighter from then on. Uhm... hope so.

Chapter 51

Unfamiliar

Life really has funny ways to give you a lesson. If you aren't tumbled in an easy way, then life has no choice but to pull a surprise for you.

Masasabi kong iyon ang nangyari sa akin.

It looked fatal. Watching Emman lying on a stretcher and rushed into the trauma center with a medical team around him was one of the hideous scenes I ever witnessed.

"We didn't find an exit wound for the GSW so we need to undergo surgery to fix any bleeding, restore the integrity of the bowel, and of course, take out the bullet and treat any possible fatal acidosis," balita ng trauma surgeon.

Halos mabingi ako. Tuluyan nang nanlambot ang mga tuhod kaya agad na inalalayan ni Dante nang napansin iyon.

"Do everything to treat the patient, doc. Aside from that, are there any other complications?"

Mr. Ambrose was the one shouldering all the concerns and expenses for everything. Emman's parents were still in the US and he was the only person we could rely on as of the moment. Because aside from him, the rest were inept for this kind of situation. Especially me.

"We're now implementing an abdominal x-ray for the patient and there's also a big possibility that affected organ can be detected. Naging mabilis man ang aksiyon sa paghatid ng pasyente sa aming tanggapan, marami pa ring nawalang dugo sa katawan nito. But thanks for putting pressure to the wound, it helped lessen the bleeding. We have an ample supply in our blood bank so we already took an action for that part."

Nag-aagaw ang takot at sakit sa akin. Bukod sa mga emosyong naglalaro sa sistema, wala na akong naramdamang positibo roon.

Hindi ko na maalala kung nakainom man lang ba ako ng tubig o nakaalis para sa restroom. Pero ang nasisiguro ko ay hindi ko nilubayan ang harapan ng operating room kung saan siya nilipat. Hindi-hindi mapapanatag ang sistema hangga't hindi ko nasisilayan ang Emman na nakagisnan ko.

"You need to eat, Mich," paalala ni Rave na hindi man lang pumasok sa aking utak.

I heard him sigh. Tumabi siya sa akin sa upuan at marahang tinapik ang balikat ko. Pero kahit ano man doon, namanhid na ang katawan ko para maramdaman man lang iyon.

"Bukod sa bleeding, sigurado akong maayos lang ang lahat, Mich. That bastard won't die because of a gunshot, okay?"

Hindi ko alam. Kahit ano atang pang-aalu ang gawin nila, hindi na gagana pa sa akin.

Sa mga oras na iyon, tulala na lang akong nakaupo at naghihintay sa resulta ng kalagayan ni Emman.

He underwent several x-rays and that news frightened me as hell. I recalled hearing about his parents during Rave and Mr. Ambrose's phone calls and their immediate flight as soon as possible.

Mom and Bridgette came worriedly to me after an hour when we arrived the hospital. Even inside their embrace, I wasn't able to react consciously because my sanity was thrown out the window, waiting for his surgery to be successful.

Iyon lang ang pinapanalangin ko at tinaga ko sa batong hinding-hindi ko na sasayangin ang bawat oras na kasama si Emman pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito.

"Let's get you home now, honey."

"No." Mabilis akong umiling at puno ng takot na umalma roon.

"Ella... you haven't eaten yet. Hindi mo kinain ang binili namin sayo."
