The Game of Faith. (revised)

V. It's been 10 years.

“You sure you want to go there?

“There’s no reason not to. Besides I already send a confirmation dear”

“Do you want me to come with you?

“naah. Mom can handle it.

“I won’t let you go there without me.

So, anu pa ba magagwa ko. He always has his ways para mapa payag nya ko.

Hindi ko inisip na babalik pa ko sa Pilipinas with all that happened. Sigh.

Adi hold my hand as I thrown a deep breath.

“everything will be fine mom. Adi will always be here”

Yan ang lagi nyang sinasabi sakin.

Habang pinag mamasdan ko sya. Alam kong tama ung naging desisyon ko. Si Adi ung ngbibigay ng saya at lakas sakin. Sya lang ang buhay ko.

“mom let’s go.

“sorry baby.

“don’t call me that. im a grown up man.

Conceited Adi. - ___________-

Day had passed.

After this day babalik na ko ulit sa US. yeah, ganung kabilis lang. andito lang ako para sa isang conference, I was one of the guest speaker.

After I gave my talk nag pa alam na ko sa kanila.

“dok Alcantara?

“yes?

Sabi ko dun sa humabol sakin? Pasakay na dapat ako sa kotse ng may tumawag sakin at mukhang Doktor sya base on his suit.

“can we talk?

Tumingin muna ko sa orasan ko may 5 minuto pa naman ako.

“Sure but I only have 5 minutes?

“One of our patients needs a doctor like you. He suffered from an incurable disease and we learned that ur team is having a study on it.

Pag gantong pag kakataon di ako makatanggi. Siguro nature na ng isang doctor ang tumulong talga.

“Bring me there.

“Thank you Doc.

I call Adi. Na hindi ako makakabalik agad.

HOSPITAL.

“where is he?

“this room Doc.

When he opened the door all the memories in the past come rushing through my head and I felt a sudden pain in my heart as I scan through the people inside the room and the one who lay in bed. I never imagined na ganto ang magiging pagkikita namin.

“anu ang ginagawa ng babaeng yan dito?

“ah. Madam this is Doc Alcantara. Pinakiusapan ko sya kung pede nyang tingnan ang kalagayan ng anak nyo.

Lumapit na ko sa kanya. Yeah. Ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko na inisip pang bumalik sa Pilipinas.

I checked his vital signs. And made a prescription.

Aalis na sana ko ng nagising sya.

“Elis?

You can live now. Her mother said.

I left with the smirk in my face.

Nothing changes. She’s always as high as those towers in the US.
