You Are The Risk I'll Always Take

Chapter 43

Nagpaalam sa akin si Mcchaine kahapon na baka hindi daw muna siya makakadalaw ngayon kasi busy siya pero ita-try niya parin naman daw.

So, mag-isa nalang talaga ako dito sa bahay.

I decided to bake cake for myself. I'm craving for it last night kasi.

I tied my hair and started gathering all the ingredients.

"Hi Princess." Bati nito.

"Hi Dad." Bati ko pabalik.

"How are you?" Tanong niya.

"I'm keeping myself busy. Nagbe-bake ako ngayon dad. I was craving cake last night so I'm making it now." Sagot ko.

"That's good. Okay ka lang ba diyan? May kailangan ka ba?" He asked.

"Okay lang ako dad. Wag kang mag-alala sa akin. Kaya ko ang sarili ko." I replied.

"Okay then. I'll call you nalang ulit later. I just called because I want to hear you." Sabi ni Dad.

"Okay dad. Take care. I love you." Sagot ko.

"I love you too. Ingat ka din." Then the call ended up.

Ipinagpatuloy ko na ang ginagawa ko.

After 25 minutes of mixing, I finally get the pan filled the cake mix in the oven.

Sandali lang naman ma-bake iyon.

Umupo na muna ako sa sala.

I was just resting then I felt something painful sa dibdib ko. Nahirapan akong huminga pero naibalik ko din naman ang normal breathing ko when I drank water.

After 45 minutes, the cake was ready and I'm just chilling it para malagyan ko na ng icing.

Then, everything went black.

Mcchaine's POV

Agad-agad kong binuksan ang pinto then I saw Raniella lying on the floor.

Dinalian ko ang pagmamaneho upang makarating kami agad sa hospital. Sobrang nanginiginig na ako.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Raniella ng mahigpit na mahigpit. I can't lose her.

When we arrived at the hospital, inassist naman kami agad ng mga nurses doon. Inilagay si Raniella sa hospital bed saka dinala sa emergency room.

Kinuha ko ang phone ni Raniella sa bulsa ko para kunin ang number ni Tito and her best friend Maikee.

Pero pagkabukas ko ng phone niya, may di ako inaasahang mababasa.

It was a message from Lance saying, "I will never stop loving you kahit ilang beses mo pa ako itulak palayo."

Masakit. Kahit alam kong akin na siya, masakit parin kasi yung taong ito minahal niya din e.

Kung pagbabawalan ko si Raniella na makipag-usap sa taong ito, masyado naman na akong possessive at baka masakal ko pa siya. Yes, I want her for my own but hindi sapat na paraan ang sakalin siya.

I already called her dad. Pauwi na daw siya. May tatapusin lang daw saglit. Naghihintay naman ako ngayon ng results.

After long minutes, lumabas na din yung doctor.

"You are with Ms. Cordova?" Tanong ng doctor saka naman ako lumapit.

"Yes. Kamusta siya, doc?" I asked.

"I'm sorry to tell you this but she is not fine. Lumala ang sakit niya. She's having irregular heartbeats. She's also having troubles on catching her breath. Mas humina ang heart muscle niya. This results the enlarging of her ventricles at dito na nagsisimula ang hindi normal na pag-pump ng heart niya. Nagsisimula na mag-dilate ang puso niya and this can lead to small blood clots developing within the chambers of the heart. These may travel in the bloodstream and get stuck in arteries of the body. This may lead to a stroke if a clot gets stuck in an artery in the brain, or to other problems. For now, she is not yet stable beause of her irregular breathing. She might also need heart transplant soon kung tuloy tuloy ag pag-dilate ng heart. You can see her later. I'll go ahead." Paliwanag ng doctor.

Halos mawalan ako ng lakas nang marining ko iyon. But I can't be weak. Kailangan kong maging malakas para kay Raniella. I will never let her suffer this alone. Mayamaya ay pumasok na din ako sa kwarto niya and saw her resting. Ang daming naka-connect sa kaniya. I kissed her forehead.

"You can't leave me just like that. You have to be strong. I love you." Sabi ko bago ako umalis upang sunduin si Maikee na kanina pa pala nagtetext sa akin.
