Mabilis kaming nakarating sa Makati Medical Center at agad na dumiretso sa emergency room dahil nandoon daw si Papa.

This is what I am talking about kaya ayoko siyang papasukin kanina dahil may kutob akong hindi maganda. It kept on bugging me earlier but I didn't tried to think of it dahil baka nago-over think ako pero hindi pala.

Ito na naman ako, nakakaramdam na naman ng pagsisisi.

"Ms. Yuchengco?" A nurse approached me. I looked at her worriedly and quickly nodded.

"Mr. Yuchengco's still in the ICU. Tawagin ko lang po si Dr. Meneses," She said and then left.

Naiwan akong nakatayo sa gilid ng Information Table habang hinihintay si Dr. Meneses. Hindi ako mapakali. Gusto ko nang puntahan si Papa pero hindi ko magawa.

I tried to keep myself calm but it didn't worked. Napatingin ako sa kamay ko nang bigla iyong hawakan nung nasa tabi ko. I looked at him and he smiled at me. "Everything's going to be alright," He said.

I gave out a little smile as a response. "Your Dad will be okay. Don't stress yourself too much, please," He said, caressing my cheeks using his two hands.

Gusto kong umiyak pero walang nalabas na luha sa mga mata ko. This feeling isn't nice at all, lalo lang bumibigat iyong pakiramdam ko.

"Kren, I'll stay by your side no matter what happens. I'll never leave you again like how I did before," He said seriously.

I'm about to reply when Dr. Meneses came and approached us. "Kren?"

"Doc, how's Papa?" I asked.

"He's still suffering in a coma and based on his CT Scan, he's got a damage on his head. Kren, it's a serious matter we need to focus on," Dr. Meneses explained.

Nararamdaman ko iyong nginig ng katawan ko at iyong kabog ng dibdib ko. "Base sa mga nakakita, sinadya raw ng driver ng taxi na ibunggo iyong sasakyan. The taxi driver's dead on arrival and the car was burned into flames. Buti nga at nakuha ang Papa mo bago sumabog," He said.

My knees were shaking and I wanted to just lay down on the floor. Hindi ko na kaya kung maririnig ko pa iyong mga susunod na sasabihin sa akin ni Dr. Meneses.

"Okay naman po siya, 'di ba?" I bravely asked.

I just got a small smile from him. My whole body froze.

"He needs to wake up from his coma after 7 days and if that doesn't happen, I'm so sorry," He told me.

My hands were shaking and I'm about to give up when this guy beside me tried to held my hand. "You can check him in the ICU. I need to assist another patient. Stay strong, Krenity," Dr. Meneses told me before he walked.

Pero hindi pa siya nakakalayo ay nagsalita ako. "If you don't mind, Doc. May I know the name of the driver?" I asked.

"As far as I remember, Liro Angeles."

I began to close my fist when I knew who that man is. Your soul may rot in hell like how your daughter's soul suffering from unconditional waves of fire.

"You know him?" The guy beside me surprisingly asked.

"Of course. He's the Father of a lady whom I knew in the past. She's as evil as his Dad. As what they say; like father like daughter," I sarcastically said.

He's about to response when his phone rang. I told him to go out and answer it pero hindi siya umalis sa tabi ko.

And when he ended up the call, tumingin siya sa akin. "Kren, I'm sorry but I can't stay tonight. I need to fix something. Sorry," He continuously said.
