Guys eto po yung karugtong.. nawala kasi bigla sa draft kaya kailangan ko pa ulit i-type e haha enjoy reading.. kung may tanong po pakicomment na lang kung naguguluhan ... :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Napayuko ako sa lahat ng sinabi ni Ralph.. parehong pareho sila ng mama niya.. when they started to get serious in a conversation, it will not end up as nothing… it will always leave a mark.. namiss ko tuloy bigla si Auntie Grace..
tumingin ako kay Ralph.. I saw him looking straight to my eyes.. a part of me is telling me that I am the ‘victim’ here but the other part tells me that I am the ‘player’…
“what now Mike? Matalino ka compared saken.. you handled the company so well kaya nga of all our cousins, ikaw ang favorite ni mommy… but tama rin si mommy, kung gano ka katalino sa paghawak ng company, ganun ka rin katanga sa pagpapatakbo ng buhay mo…” he gave me a sarcastic smile…
“it’s too late bro.. Mandy is not mine anymore…look…” I pointed at the other table… Ralph turned back to see them… Mandy is sitting on the lap of a guy... the guy who helped her stand up a while ago…
“papatalo ka lang dyan Mike? C’mon! that’s your girl there! Lasing lang si Mandy and for sure, she feels wasted at this time kasi wala ka sa tabi niya… nasasaktan lang din siya… she will never love that asshole dude!!!”
“that guy.. is the same guy in the parking lot… I caught them kissing.. that was 2 weeks ago.. siya ang pinalit sa akin ni Mandy… siya rin ang may-ari ng company na kalaban ng company natin… like what you said, Auntie Grace was right… 1st ang rank ng company natin last year and this year.. then he got the 2nd place now…he was the 5th placer last year…he gave his best shot but hindi niya ko nalagpasan when it comes to earnings… pero.. he got my girl…”
“cause you didn’t give your best shot man! You let her go… the same thing as you let him get her!”
‘Did I let her go?’ I asked myself… but what can I do to win her back?… baka hindi na rin niya ko tanggapin… I need to be alone.. para makapag isip.. makapagplano.. pano na yung plano ko umuwi ulit sa Pilipinas? Di ko nanaman itutuloy? Pano ko pa maaayos ang mga iniwan ko dun kung hindi nanaman matutuloy ang pag-uwi ko dun? Naguguluhan na ko… F***ING LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
“ I wanna go home… I’ll go ahead Ralph!” gusto ko na talagang umuwi dahil tinatamaan na rin ako ng selos pag nakikita ko si Mandy na lumalandi sa lalaking yun… baka kung ano lang ang magawa ko…
“sige, sabay na ko.. wala akong wheels ngayon…makikiride na lang muna ko sayo.. if you want, dun ka muna matulog sa bahay para makapag usap kayo ni mommy..” salamat naman at pumayag na si Ralph umuwi.. gusto ko rin makita si Auntie Grace kaya tumango na lang ako at tumayo na kami nang biglang…
“HEY!!! ANYBODY HELP!!!! PLEASE!! GUARD HELP!! WE NEED HELP!” a waitress was asking for help.. I was shocked when I saw Mandy was on the floor.. nawalan siya ng malay.. pero bakit? Dahil lasing siya?
Ralph and I run towards her… I carried her immediately.. her lower lip is bleeding… it looks like somebody punched her.. I think I know who did it…
“Mandy… Mandy… wake up… it’s me… Mike… Baby wake up… im here…” I got into the car and Ralph started to drive to the nearest hospital which is 5 mins away…I looked at her.. I studied every part of her… I’m so stupid to let her go… I saw her hand moved… thank God she’s awake…
“Baby… we’re going to the hospital ok? It’s gonna be fine.. san ba masakit?can you hear me?”
I hugged her tight and she respond by putting her hand on her head.. her head hurts…
“we’re here! I’ll ask for assistance” I can see Ralph is also worried..we arrived here for 3mins.. he got out of the car… I carried Mandy out of the car and a nurse gave us a stretcher and they proceed to the emergency room.. we are not allowed to enter there so I waited outside on a bench near it and Ralph parked the car properly…
Ralph sat in front of me.. he does not look at me.. he didn’t even start a topic.. I don’t know why… I can see that he is worried and fear is covering his face… but he never blamed me for what happened... but I know it’s my fault… I left Mandy… and I didn’t do anything when I saw her at the bar.. im so stupid!
After several hours... Mandy’s doctor went out of the room.. Ralph and I stood up and approached him..
“Is she ok? Can I bring her home now?” I can’t hide my feelings… I want to see her and I want to hear that she’s ok…
“gentlemen, im sorry but.. Mandy needs to be confined for now… she needs medication…”
“What? What for? I mean, she’s just drunk right? There’s nothing to do with any sickness!” I don’t understand what is happening here… I looked at both of them.. Ralph did not give me a look or even a confusing pattern.. I guess he knew what the doctor meant by that…
“Is there anything I don’t know? ANSWER ME!!! RALPH?!!!!” they remained silent… they’re hiding something…
“Gentlemen, I need to go back to the emergency room… Mr. Madrigal, it’s better if you will hear it from him… right Mr. Smith?” he looked at Ralph and turned his back when Ralph nodded at him…
“Mike, calm down…” Ralph looked at me…
“HOW WOULD I CALM DOWN RALPH?!!! TELL ME!!! WHAT IS IT?!!! WHAT THE F***ING IS IT???” I can’t control my temper anymore…
“Mike… im sorry.. she told me not to tell you…”
