Irreplaceable You

64: Life and Death

We immediately went down when we got to a hospital.

"Ma'am you cannot go inside. You need to wait here." Nurse

"she needs me. My fiancé needs me. Please let me in." Jhoana

"I'm sorry ma'am you need to stay here, we'll try everything to save her." Nurse

"Stay with me love please. Stay with me please." Jhoana

Three hours has passed since Isabel was shot.

Everyone is patiently waiting for the doctor to come out. It's already 9pm. We're all tired and hungry but I can't seem to eat or even leave this place.

She might look for me.

"Any updates?" Bianca

"No. No updates from the doctor. But she was breathing. " Thirdy

A doctor came out from the operating room.
But unfortunately it wasn't Bea's doctor.

Tito Elmer called for the best cardiothoracic surgeon in the Philippines. Everyone is praying and crying their hearts out.

"She'll survive this. She loves you Jho, she won't leave you alone." Jia

I hugged Jia.  I thought everyone's gonna blame me for what happened but they didn't.

"Don't ever think that it's your fault. It wasn't your fault. It was Nico." Tito Elmer

I hugged him and Tita Det hugged me too. They don't deserve me. All I ever did was bring pain to their daughter and look where she is now.

Six hours has passed and there's no still update from the doctors.

"What's taking so long?" Deanna

"It might be a complicated surgery." Denden

"Ate Den, you should take a rest, it's bad for you and the baby." Jhoana

"I can take it Jho, hindi din ako makakatulog knowing Bea's lying down there and fighting for her life. Ikaw you need to eat kanina ka pa walang kain." Ate Denden

"Wala akong gana ate." Jhoana

"Bea wouldn't want to see you na pinapabayaan mo sarili mo. I'll buy you food, stay here okay?" Alyssa

"Okay Thanks Ate." Jhoana

A lot of hours has passed, I can't even sleep.

"I can't take this waiting, it's torture." Jhoana

"She's gonna be okay Jho." Thirdy

"You don't know that, we don't know that." Jhoana

Which is true. I'm agitated of this situation and every hour that's passing by is eating me alive
If Bea doesn't survive this, I don't know if I would want to live.

Deanna just came to get me clothes at the resort.

"Mami Jhow, here's your clothes. Do you want to go the bathroom first and clean up?" Deanna

"I don't want to leave her here." Jhoana

"I'll be staying here and call you agad if any updates. Alagaan mo sarili mo Jhoana." Jia

"Come on Ate Jho." Deanna

I have no other choice but to obey them. Tito Elmer got us a private room. Para sa mga nagbabantay. And I haven't eaten anything or took a bathroom rest.
