"They should've made Justin live. He has the best redemption and character development among all of them." I argued while eyes glued to the television.

We are re-watching 13 reasons why season 4. It turned out when he ghosted me he never had the guts to watch the last season.

Here we are at my flat. He insisted na dito nalang sa amin manokd kaysa sa kanya para hindi ko na kailanganing mag-drive pa mula sa ospital papunta sa kanya at pauwi sa condo ko. I agreed because I am so damn tired. Kung pwede lang ay naka vacation nalang ako pero mas mahalaga ang mga buhay na maari kong masagip kaysa sa pagpapasarap buhay.

"You should go home." I checked my wristwatch. It's already three am in the morning and may pasok pa kami.

But to my dismay, he just wrapped himself in my blanket and acted like a human burrito.

"But I'm sweepy" He used his baby voice and even rubbed his eyes cutely. But hell no I am going to be swayed with this play he is executing.

I grabbed the nearest throw pillow in my couch and banged him with it. "Umuwi ka na may pasok ka pa." Sabi ko ngunit mas namaluktot lang ito at tila ba isang pugo na mahiming na natutulog.

"Tukmol ka umuwi ka na." Akmang hahampasin ko na siya nang biglang mag-ring ang aking teleponi sa may coffee table.

Who could be calling me at this hour?

Azrich calling

Agad kong sinagot ito at itinigil ang pakikipagbardagulan sa lalaking kasama ko at umupo sa single sofa.

"Az, what's up flaming catsup?" I casually greeted him

His background sounds so chaotic. Maybe he's in the hospital right now. I even heard him panting heavily.

"He-"

"Sei, come to the hospital now. Seirra needs you." He dropped the call with that I stood up not minding anything but to go to the hospital. Coelth seemed to notice the urgency written all over my face.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to drive?" He worriedly looked at me while I rummaged to get everything I need.

Calm down Sei. Now is not the time to panic.

I nodded at this state I know I can't drive properly.

Sabay kaming lumabas at ni-lock ko na lamang ang pinto. We went to the basement and picked his car.

I looked at my clothes. I just wore a trouser over my shorts and covered my plain white shirt with the white coat while Coelth is still in his blue dress shirt and black trousers.

Hindi ko na uli matawagan si Azrich kaya habang binabaybay namin ang daan sa ospital ay pinagdadasal ko na wala sanang mangyaring masama.

Mabilis akong binaba ni Coelth sa pinto habang siya naman ay dumiretso sa parking lot ako naman ay agad na sumugod sa loo. Not minding the stares from relatives and some nurses.

Agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ni Seirra ngunit nagulat ako nang walang tao roon kaya naisipan kong puntahan ang nurse na naka-stand by sa nagsisilbing lobby ng floor na ito.

"Doc!" Biglang nagliwanag ang mukha ni Nurse Areisa. "Nasa ICU po." Yumuko ito at tinanguan ko na lamang ito.

Hindi ko na ito napasalamatan. Mabuti nalang at nasa pareho g floor lang ang ICU at ang private room ni Seirra.

Sa unang ICU ay namataan ko ang dalawang bultong pamilyar sa akin.

Una akong nahagip ng mga mata ng isang babaeng nasa kanyang kalagitnaang forties na may maamong mukha at mugtong mga mata.

"Doc!" She exclaimed making the other built look at my direction.

Mr. Mañez kept his cool but he looked exhausted to the core. He is around 6'1 to 6'2 and his build spells great charisma during the good old days. Not that I am saying he is not charismatic now.

Saleena Mañez, hugged me tears streaming down to her cheeks. "Dr. Azrich is the one in charge." She managed to muster among those sobs.

Azrich is the person who checks Seirra from time to time whenever I am off-duty. Remember when I was on vacation? He was the one who took some of my responsibilities. One of them being Seirra.

"What happened?" I rubbed her back and faced Mr. Praelen Mañez.

"She was sleeping soundly and then her breathing patterns went unstable. She then woke up and started crying."

I nodded getting a bit nervous about the situation. It is possible that she wasnt just simply catching her breath but rather having a heart attack.

I swept my eyes over the glass and saw the lines failing.

No...

No Seirra you are tougher than this!

My eyes drifted to Azrich resorting to the last chance that can save Seirra.

Charge.

Still no response
He is rubbing the metals of the machinery again getting ready.

Charge

No...

The lines went straight.

As I imagine the beeping sound of the ECG the wails and pleads of Saleen reign while Azrich raised his watch. Saying the words

Time of death.
