Ako’s Sayo, Ika’y Akin – Part 2

She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one’s allowed to see them when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows in the past
That I remember ’till the day I die

She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I’m alive
The one I’ll care for through the rough in many years

Hmmm nice song, reminds me of Myla and Notting Hill
Fuck! I feel pain everywhere! Arrghhhhh
Ano na nangyari?
Last thing I remembered was switching lanes para iwasan yung kumag na nakamotor na lasing pa yata.
Shit! Where is Myla?
If I’m like this? How is she?
And what day is today?
Oh my goodness! What have I done?
Myla, ang tagal ko inantay ang wedding day natin…have I been to selfish to wait this long?
Is this my punishment?
Please! Please! Let Myle be ok and safe, ok lang ako with this pain basta let Myla be safe.

“Based on Ruel’s vital signs now and his record for the past 3 hours, he had stabilized. He might even be awake now but can move anything voluntarily including his eyes due to pain and numbness from the after effects of his surgeries all over his body. So far, he out of critical condition and we will just monitor his healing.”

“Salamat po dok. Salamat po ng marami. Akala namin kung ano na nangyari kasi naextend pa to 20 hours yung operation na sabi ay 16 hours lang.”

“May ibang damages pa po kasi nadiscover nung inooperahan na sya kaya naextend pa ang estimated time. Very capable naman po ang teams na nagoperate sa kanya. Kausapin nyo ho ang pasyante, nakakarinig po sya based sa responses nya the past hours. Ahmmm, please follow me po sa nurses station for some instructions pa.”

“Ay okay Doc.”

“Mrs. Delos Reyes, maganda man ang development ni Ruel, iiwas po muna natin sana sya sa stress hanggang mas magimprove pa sya. Dahil alam nating nakakarinig na sya, wag nyo po muna sana babanggitin ang condition ni Myla sa kanya. Although nagstabilize na ang vitals ni Myla ay in coma pa din and we will be closely monitoring her for 48 hrs pa.”

“Ganun po ba? Sige po, ibibilin ko sa lahat ng mga dadalaw kay Ruel ang mga instructions nyo.”

Ruel: Myla, if I sponsor your air fare, would you be willing to take a least a 2 week vacation leave and visit me here? Will that be possible? If yes, please tell me asap so I book you a round trip ticket.

“Ano meron? It’s past midnight na and gising pa sya? And an invite to go there all of a sudden? hmmm”, isip ni Myla habang nasa meeting at nabasa ang text message

Myla: Ano meron bes? Ok ka lang? Should I be worried na? Wala ka naman suicidal tendencies diba? How’s Rachel? How was our proposal? May date na ba ng wedding? Yun ba ang reason?

Ruel: Long story, I’ll tell you later. I’ll wait for your call bes…promise me you’d call me as soon as your meeting ends ha. Please bes

“Hala na! Heart broken ang Ruel. All signs in place….tsk tsk tsk…saklap naman nun, ganda pa man din nung ring na binili nya. Akala ko sila na nga magkakatuluyan. Patay kung nasa bar ito, baka ipakulong ng may-ari kapag magwala gaya ng dati kapag heart broken sya. Bes naman! Hirap na tuloy magfocus sa meeting”

6 months after…

Bes! Welcome to America! Namiss kita ng sobra! Payakap naman

“Araw-araw tayo magkausap mula nung nakipagbreak sayo si Rachel! Miss ka dyan! (sabay palo at tulak sa noo ng kaibigang payakap na sa kanya)

Ito naman! Syempre iba yung usap sa kasama kita flesh and blood after more than 10 years. Imagine bes…10 years! At mas maganda ka kaysa sa mga pictures mo na pinapadala. Sexy din! Hindi ka na mukhang tibo bes!

“Inaantok ako, mag mo ako inisin kundi may kalalagyan ka”

Ito naman. Ganda pala ng epekto sayo ng mga experience mo…lumaki balakang mo. Talaga bang walang love yung sa FUBU mo? Kasi dami mo manliligaw pero ang attention mo nandun kay Tonio na yun lang.

“Tandaan mong pwede ako umalis dito at sumakay ulit ng plane p…
