“Hello? This is St. Luke’s Medical Hospital, the owner of this number was rushed here awhile ago because of a vehicular accident. By any chance are you related to him?” Her world almost crashed down when she heard the person on the other line. It took plenty of strength for her to answer the question.

“Y—yes. He’s m-my fi-fiancee.”

“Ma’am, I’m sorry to say but he is on a very critical condition right now, would you be able to come right now?”

“O-of course. Thank you.”

After that phone call, Kath did not waste any more time and quickly rode a taxi to get to her fiancée.

Hold on Daniel, please hold on.

When she arrived at the hospital, Daniel’s parents were already at the entrance waiting for her. When Daniel’s mom saw her, she immediately approached Kathryn and led her to Daniel’s room. While they were walking, Daniel’s mom is explaining everything to her but she couldn’t hear a thing. Ang tanging laman na lang ng isipan niya ay si Daniel. Kung makakaligtas ba ito o hindi.

 No, hindi ako papayag na iwan mo ako DJ. I love you, please hold on for me, for us.

Her heart crushed down at the sight of Daniel lying on the hospital bed, unconscious and helpless. This time, a tear escaped her eyes. She slowly went near Daniel’s bed. Trying not fall on her knees crying, she held on Daniel’s hand.

“Mister? Andito na ko. Gising na jan, may kasalanan ka pa sakin. Pinag antay mo ako sa coffee shop ng matagal. Akala ko ba ikaw parati yung mag-aantay sakin?” One by one, her tears started to fall.

“Huy! Babe! Pottie! Love! Mister! DJ! Gising na! Naman eh! Sige ka! Pag di ka gumising jan, hihiwalayan talaga kita! Hoy!” Angal pa nito sa nakapikit na binata. Pero kahit anong pagbabanta o pagyugyog niya kay Daniel eh parang walang epekto ito sa kanya.

“Babe, di ba walang iwanan? Gumising ka naman oh.” She just want to beat the sense out of Daniel that moment.

Napatigil lang si Kath noong naramdaman niya na may isang kamay na pumatong sa balikat. Nang lumingon ito ay agad nitong nakita ang ina ni Daniel na umiiyak na rin.Dahil sa pag-iisip niya kanina, hindi niya namalayang nakasunod pala ang ama at ina ni Daniel sa kanya sa kwarto.

“T-tita, T-t-tito.” Agad namang napayakap ang ina ni Daniel sa kanya kaya mas lalo siyang napahagulhol.

“Tita, hindi naman ako iiwan ni Daniel diba? Mahal naman niya ako diba? Diba?”

“Kath…”

“Tita, pagsabihan niyo naman si Daniel na gumising na oh? Sabihin niyo na magtatampo ako pag di pa siya gumising.”

“Kath…” pinaharap ng ina ni Daniel sa kanya. “…magtiwala ka lang kay Daniel. Mahal ka niya, ‘di ka niya iiwan.”

Sa sinabi ng ina ni Daniel, napahawak na lamang si Kath sa ina ni Daniel at umiyak ng umiyak.

I trust you DJ. I know you will never leave me behind. I love you Daniel, always and forever.

Nang nahimasmasan na si Kath ay kinausap ulit siya ng ina ni Daniel tungkol sa kondisyon ng binata.

“Kath, ang sabi ng doktor, on coma daw si Daniel. At sabi pa niya, 50-50 ang chance ni Daniel na mamuhay ng normal dahil sa pagkabagok ng ulo nito. Sabi pa niya, maari raw magising si Daniel pero baka hindi na ito katulad ng dati at maging katulad siya ng isang lantang gulay. And ang isa pang posibilidad ay magising siya pero…”
