Beautiful Accident | Completed

Part 6

Thea Faith Travis

...

Masakit marinig ang masasakit na salita galing sa taong mahalaga sa buhay ng taong mahal mo.

Sana pala hindi na ako pumunta kina Kevin kung yun lang naman pala ang maabutan ko.

Ayaw ng parents nya sakin. Malamang, isa lang akong hamak na ordinaryong tao na di katulad ng anak niya. Maybe, hindi talaga kami destined para sa isat-isa. Wala akong magagawa kung ganun. Tama nga naman ang mama nya, mahirap lang ako. Pero hindi ako mukhang pera. Sadyang minahal ko lang ang anak niya.

"Faith anak. Sagutin mo na yang cellphone mo at kanina pa yan nagri-ring. Baka kasi importante."

My mother told me. Sinagot ko nalang yung tawag without looking who is it.

"Hello? Sino po to?"

...

Ang dami nang nangyari sa araw na 'to. I don't know what will happen right after this.

"Mrs. Wu, how's Kevin? Is he okay?"

I'm here in the hospital where Kevin got confined. Inatake daw sya ng sakit nya. Tinawagan ako ng mama niya so I hurriedly went here.

"I hope he's okay, hija! He's inside the ICU now and I don't know what will happen to him."

Yung dad nya ang sumagot dahil umiiyak na yung mom nya. But then she come to me and for no reason, she hug me. I was really shocked. Diba, she dislikes me?

"I'm sorry dear! I should not have said things like that to you. I'm sorry I was being mean. I should've known you first. I don't know na ikaw pala ang dahilan ng pagngiti ni Kevin. I'm very sorry for judging you. Hindi sana aabot sa ganito. After all, it's you who took care of our son. Kahit kami na mga magulang niya, doesn't even know his condition. God! I hope he's okay."

"It's okay, Mrs. Wu. I understand you. And we'll just pray for Kevin to survive. "

Sabi ko at hinagod ko yung likod nya to comfort her.

After a while, a doctor came out from the ICU and said something to the couple.

Ang narinig ko lang ay kailangan ni Kevin ng heart transplant. Nalungkot ako. Sana, makakasurvive siya.

...

It's been a week yet nasa hospital pa rin si Kevin. Madalas akong bumibisita sa kanya. Mamayang gabi ang schedule ng heart transplant niya. Oo, nakahanap na nang donor. I just hope na magiging successful yung operation.

I dressed up and went to the hospital. I need to see him for the last time, if ever this would be the last.

"Kevin... kumusta ka na?"

I said as I enter in his room. His parents went out just to give us time to talk with each other.

"I'm okay, I guess. Though, kinakabahan ako para mamaya. Whatever will happen, always remember that I love you so much. "

He said and kiss my hand. Naiiyak ako.

T_T

"I love you too, Kevin. Sana maging matatag ka at makayanan mo ang operation. Just always remember too that we're here for you. We'll pray hard for you so kayanin mo ha?"

I said with tears in my eyes and I kiss him on the forehead.

I stayed there until the time they took Kris to the OR. Ayaw ko pa nga sana, pero kailangan.

"Kaiser, sana ayos lang ang anak natin. I hope magiging successful ang operation nya."

"Don't worry, Kaitlin. He'll survive, our son is strong. "

Nasa labas kami at kabado.

It's been two hours but the operation is still on going.

Hindi ko maiwasang umiyak. I remember the times that we shared. Yung mga happy moments, misunderstandings and all. Paano kung magfailed yung operation? What will happen?

No! Ano ba Thea!? Think positive! Tama. I should think positively.

"Hija, Thea. You okay? Don't worry! He'll be fine."

Her mother told me.

We already introduced properly. She's kind naman pala.

Nadala lang sya ng emotions nya nung araw.

Also his dad. They really look alike with each other.

"Mr. and Mrs. Wu?"
After 8 hours, a doctor came out.

Oo, 8 hours and umaga na but even a minute, we didn't sleep. Though they told me to rest but I just refuse.

"Yes doc! That's us! How's the operation? How's our son?"

Kinakabahan akong lumapit sa kanila. Tita Kaitlin's gripping my hand.

"Umm.. I wanted to say "congratulations". The operation's successful. Any minute from now, he'll be transferred to a private room and you can visit him. For now, may I excuse myself!"

"Thanks,Doc."

Tito Kaiser said at yumakap sa'min ni tita.

I burst into tears because of so much joy. Thanks God!

--

"Thea Faith, aren't you going home? You already look tired. It would be best if you'll take a rest."

Tita Kaitlin told me. We're still in the hospital. Kevin had been transferred but he is still asleep.

"Di na po muna Tita. Gusto ko pang dumito baka sakaling magising si Kevin."

"If that's so. We'll bring some food when we get back. Call us if Kevin will wake up, ok?"

"Yes, Tito. Take care po."
Bineso lang ako ni tita Kaitlin and they already went out. I sat beside Kevin and held his hand.

He looks really tired. Kawawa naman siya.

"Kevin, alam mo bang ang saya ko at laking pasasalamat ko at successful yung operation mo. Sabi ko naman eh, kaya mo. Ikaw pa?"

I paused for a moment dahil medyo nagcrack na yung boses ko.

"Magpahinga ka muna ha? Kailangan mo yan. Pero gusto ko na rin na magising ka na. Namimiss na kasi agad kita eh. Pati sina tita at tito, miss ka na rin."

Napaiyak na talaga ako. Sinubsob ko nalang yung mukha ko sa bed habang umiiyak. I held his hand tighter.

Then I felt that his hands move a bit.

"Kevin? Gising ka na?"

I said excitedly to find out that he's still asleep.

Then I heard a rapid beep from a machine. It went faster and...

*beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

A single line appeared on the monitor.

"NO, KEVIN!! YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE! DOCTOR! DOCTOR! TITA, TITO!! NO, KEVIIIIIIN!!"

I already gone hysterical. I don't know what happened next because I lost my consciousness.
