FiftySix-I cant lose you

"Aleeeexis!" Andrei shouted and ran towards us. "Steven, Lets Go!" he shouted. tumayo agad ako saka binuhat si Alexis.

pumasok ako agad sa backseat katabi si Celine.

"DAMN IT, ANDREI! DRIVE FASTER!" i shouted at Andrei.

naramdaman ko nalang yung mainit na likido na tumulo sa pisngi ko. "Wake up, Angel." i whispered.

"I'm awake, Baby. why are you crying?" she said softly.

"Dont die on me okay? please dont let me go." i begged.

"I cant promise that, Babe. i dont have a hold on my life." she whispered softly. she slowly touched my face. "When i'm gone. move on okay? love again. i love you Steven. i will always love you." she whispered as she close her eyes.

"i have to get what its worth. i gotta have you back! i need you back!" i sniffed softly. "Dont sleep, Angel! we're almost there!"

"i cant lose you now." i said in a broken voice and cried.

"Please, Baby. fight for me. fight for us. we have to grow old together." i begged and kissed her. "sumagot ka naman, Angel. pleeease."

"Steven, She's not breathing!" Celine said. napatingin ako kay Alexis saka pinakiramdaman yung paghinga nya.

"No! Angel, Noo!" i shouted and gave her a cpr. "You cant die on me! Damn it Alexis!" i shouted again and blew air on her mouth.

umiiyak na si Celine. i swallowed hard and continued giving her CPR.

"Dont you dare, Alexis! dont you dare!" i shouted and pump her heart hard.

"di ka pwedeng mawala sakin, Angel. nag mamakaawa ako. huminga ka naman!"

***

nakatulala lang ako habang nakatingin sa pinto ng operating room kung nasan si Alexis.

si Andrei kanina pa kinakalma si Celine pero hindi sya tumitigil kakaiiyak.

but i'm too hurt to care. too numb to even think of her.

hindi ako pwedeng iwan ni Alexis ngayon, mamatay ako. di ko kaya.

tapos na lahat. wala na si Valdez. nakakulong na rin si Vien. wala nang gugulo samin kaya hindi pwedeng mawala sya sakin.

tumabi sakin si Celine saka sinandal yung ulo nya sa balikat ko. i tapped her head softly and looked at the door where Alexis is.

napasandal ako saka napapikit.

napadilat nalang ako nung bumukas yung pinto ng operating room saka lumabas yung doctor.

napatayo ako agad saka lumapit sa doctor.

"How is she?" i asked.

"too much blood was lost. she did not make it. i'm sorry." napaawang yung labi ko sabay nung pagtulo ng luha ko. i heard Celine moaned and cried aimlessly.

"No!" i shouted. binuksan ko yung pinto ng OR saka lumapit kay Alexis.

"Breathe, Baby! Breaaaathee!" i shouted and pumped her heart. "Hindi ka pwedeng mawala hindi ka pwedeng mamatay!" i pumped her chest hard.

"Baby, Breaaathe!" i never stop pumping her heart. napatigil lang ako nung hinawakan ako sa braso ni Andrei saka ni Adam.

"Tang Ina! bitawan nyo ko! Alexisss!" i shouted hard. sinubukan kong kumawala sa kanila pero di nila ako binitawan.

"Bitawan nyo ako!" i shouted and pushed them both. lumapit ulit ako ulit kay Alexis saka hinawakan yung pisngi nya.

"Wag mo namang gawin sakin to, Angel. hindi magandang biro yan. gumising ka na. pleaaase naman. gumising ka na." basag na boses na sabi ko habang hawak yung mukha nya. "Tama na yung pagtulog. wake up, Baby. papakasalan pa kita. Wake up, Alexis! Bumangon ka na!"
