Touched

Forty Nine

"Where the fuck is my wife???" Hindi ko na alam ang i rereact ko lalo na at nalaman kong hindi basta aksidente ang nangyari sa asawa ko.

Si Selene na ang nag drive papunta sa Necker Hospital habang kausap ko naman si Ace sa phone.

Stella fucking Du pont.

Hindi na talaga siya nakuntento, pati si Thea dinamay niya.

Her fucking car derailed the passenger side of my wife's car kung saan nakaupo si Thea. Stella died on impact, which made me wish she didn't and that she suffered a slow painful death instead.

Now, I am here, tormented and angry at what just happened. I don't even give a shit kung sumisigaw na ako dito.

"Sir, I did not see the other car coming.." Her security detail, Bravo came near me with an apologetic look.

Bago pa man ako magsalita nakita ko na ang pag balya niya sa pader.

"I will fucking kill you Bravo, she trusted you with her life!" Hindi lang yata ako ang nagulat nung inisang kamay na iniangat ni Alpha pataas sa dingding si Bravo. Hindi pa ito nakuntento, sinikmuraan niya pa ito. Ni walang gumalaw sa ibang security team sa ginawa niya. "Get the fuck out Bravo. You are relieved of your duties." Mahina lang yun pero ramdam ko ang galit sa boses ni Alpha.

He took a deep breath then looked at me. "I will take care of the media and the Du Ponts."

Tumango na lang ako sabay baling sa palapit na doktor.

"Monsiuer."

"Just tell me straight doc. How's my wife?"

Nagsimula na itong magsalita, and to my fucking dismay it was in french, and konti lang ang naintindihan ko kaya hinayaan ko na munang si Selene ang makipag usap.

I feel so fucking helpless.

Fuck!

"Kuya."

"Speak Selene." I gritted my teeth.

"She's in the ICU. Kailangan niya ng kidney transplant dahil yun yung na damage ng impact. It would have been manageable daw kung isa lang yung napuruhan, turns out naipit yung magkabilang bewang ni ate, a piece of glass from the window lodged through her left, while the impact of the collision crushed her right. We need to find a donor immediately. I'll start making calls." I know she's hiding the fact that she's shaking but she still managed to talk coherently when she started talking on the phone.

"Fuck!!!" I shouted frustratedly.

Nakita kong palapit samin ang bagong dating na sina Nicky, Archer, Oliver and Cara. They were saying things pero wala akong marinig dahil binging bingi ako sa tibok ng puso ko.

Nakita ko ang paglandas ng luha sa mata ni Nicky habang niyayakap ni Archer habang si Oliver naman ay sumuntok sa pader.

How can this happen?

Napabalik lang ako sa wisyo ng may umalog sa balikat ko.

"What?"

"I said, I'll give her my kidney."

Ilang segundo pa ang lumipas bago ko narealize kung sino ang kumakausap sakin. Kahit sina Nicky ay napatigil dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Alpha?"

"Yes. You better breathe man." Pinasunod niya pa ako sa paghinga, which fucking helped surprisingly.

"You wanted to give my wife one of your kidneys? Why?"

"Because."

"Fuck. Then, let's go get you tested." Hinawakan ko ang braso niya at hinila.

"No need."
