CHAPTER 47

DAN LUCAS

MAEL AND I hurried George to the hospital after she was shot. My body went cold when she took that bullet to protect me. She fell on my arms. And when she lost her conciousness, it feels like I'm going to die already. I tried so many times to wake her up, but she wasn't responding anymore and her blood from her back was dripping on my arms. And that's when I started crying in terror.

I blame myself for everything. I blame myself for what happened to her, it's all my goddamn fault! This is what I'm afraid of to happen!

When we finally arrived to the hospital, we hurried again to bring her inside. I was the one who carried her. Good thing that some of the nurses were already there to help us. They also had a stretcher where we laid her down carefully. I stayed with her when they were finally bringing her to the operating room, she's still unconscious.

"Oh, baby, please... please, don't leave me... I-I'm begging you..." I can't stop myself from crying. My hands are shaking while I'm still holding her hand.

"You need to stop here, Sir. We're now bringing her inside the operating room to start the operation," a nurse stopped me when we were finally at the operating room, and that's where I let go George's hand. I have no choice but to only followed her by gaze.

I hurriedly went to the doctor when I see him about to enter the operating room. "Please, please, save her... please..." I begged him.

"Don't worry, we will do our best," he said and the door finally closed after he went inside.

"Maghintay na lang tayo rito, kakayanin ni George 'yon..." Mael uttered but fear was also visible at him.

I tightly closed my eyes as I slipped myself against the wall beside the operating room.

Oh, Lord... please, save my George. Don't take her away from me, please...

"Mael!" my eyes immediately went open when I heard George's mother calling Mael. And there I saw her with Marika, they are both look so worry. They went straightly to him. "A-Anong nangyari? B-Bakit... B-Bakit nabaril si George?"

"T-Tita..." was Mael can only say as he held her hand.

So I stood up and answer her instead. I went to her and forced myself to hold her hand as I bowed down. "S-She took the bullet for me. I-It's my fault... I-I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I apologized as I took all the blame. Yes, no one's to blame but only me. No one but me...

"S-Sir Lucas..." she shockingly uttered. I can't look at her eyes, I can't bear to see her worry for her daughter.

"L-Lucas, 'wag kang mag-alala, kakayanin 'to ni George. P-Paniguradong may dahilan siya p-para gawin 'yon. Alam mong hindi ka niya hahayaang masaktan..." Marika tried to comfort me.

"A-Anong... w-wala akong maintindihan sa mga nangyayari... Ano ba ang nangyayari, ha?" George's mother was very confused of what's happening. I can't blame her, she doesn't have any idea about my problem. "N-Nagbuwis ng buhay ang anak ko? B-Bakit siya n-napunta sa ganoong tagpo?"

"T-Tita!" Mael quickly caught her when she was about to fall on her knees, he supported her carefully to sit on the bench.

"I-I'm so sorry..." was all I can say.

Minutes later, her father arrived, too. He was also there before we brought George here. He went straightly to his wife to comfort her. He was also the one who explained everything to her, all the details about it. He finally admitted everything about what's really George working for me.
