Far Away

Maine. Si Richard Sr. 'to and daddy ni Rj. Andito kami ngayon ni Angela dito sa Ospital dahil may nangyari kay Rj. Please Maine, pumunta ka dito. He needs you right now. Alam kong may nangyaring hindi maganda sa inyo pero kahit ngayon lang, kailangan ka namin dito.

Opo, pupunta na po ako. Saang hospital po ba kayo??

St. Joseph Hospital.

Sige po.

She hunged up and changed her clothes. She thought that Rj did not tell what happened to his parents yet.

'Huli na 'to Rj. Gagawin ko 'to para masiguro ko na maayos ka bago ako umalis.'

*+++#*+#

After preparing, she went down to said goodbye to her parents and grandparents.

"Aalis po muna ako."

"Saan ka pupunta??"

"May kukunin lang po ako sa condo ko. May nakalimutan kasi ako, importante kasi yun."

"Sige, anak mag-ingat ka."

"Opo."

Maine arrived at the hospital in almost two hours later. She saw Angela sleeping on the bench alone. She approached her and there she saw that Angela's eyelashes is wet, so it means she cried a lot. She carried her trying not to wake her up.

Sorry Angela. Hindi ko matutupad yung pinangako ko sayo. Malabo na yun mangyari at makakahanap naman ng ibang babae si Daddy Rj mo para mahalin nya at maging Mommy mo. You don't deserve me as your mother. Marami akong pagkukulang para mahing nanay mo.

She felt Angela's hand is now sliding up in her neck for a hug. Maine's eyes have tears in the side that she keeps on not falling.

"Maine Anak."

"Dad. Saan po ba ang kwarto ni Rj.?? At tsaka bakit andito po si Angela.??"

"Ayaw nya kasing pumasok. Galit sya sa Daddy nya."

"Ho?? Bakit naman po?"

"Pumunta na tayo sa loob, doon ko nalang ipapaliwanag."

Maine's heart is beating fast not because of seeing Rj again but because of nervousness that Rj is not in good condition.

When they are inside the room, Maine saw Rj's hand is wrapped with a bandage. She placed Angela on the couch seated on the  other couch and asked again to the Sr. what happened to him.

"Nakita namin sya sa kama nya na may dugo sa kamay at sa damit nya. Hawak hawak nya ang isang basag na bote. And it seems like that he gripped the broken glass tight that causes his hand to burst blood. Tumawag kami ng ambulansya. When we get here, he always saying your name. Sabi nang doctor na may isang ugat sa kamay nya ang naputol dahil sa mahigpit na pagkakahawak nya. Payo din ng doctor na kailangan nyang manatili dito kahit limang araw pa para ma-obserbahan ang kamay nya dahil kung hindi yun maaagapan, pwedeng hindi gumana ang isang kamay nya."

Angela woke up. She hugged Maine when she saw her and she started crying.

"Mommy Maine."

"Angela, tahan na."

"Mommy Maine. Galit po ako kay daddy. Pinabayaan nya po ang sarili nya. Akala ko mawawalan na naman ako ng daddy. I hate him. I hate daddy."

Angela shouted causes Rj to wake up..

"Maine??"

He whispered but all of them heard it.

"Dad, pwede po bang dalhin nyo muna si Angela sa labas para makapag-usap kami ni Rj."

Richard Sr. and Angela went out. Maine went near to Rj.

"Maine, anong ginagawa mo dito??"

"Tinawagan ako ng daddy mo dahil may ginawa ka daw na hindi maganda. Rj alam mo ba yang ginagawa mo?? Kahit na hindi yan nakakamatay. Pwede paring may mangyari sayong masama. Rj mag-in------"

"Girlfriend parin ba kita? Bakit ka nag-aalala? Maine wala na tayo. Kaya huwag kang magpakitang-tao. Alam ko lahat ng sinasabi mo ngayon puro kaplastikan. Maine tama na. Nakikita mo 'to, gingawa ko 'to dahil sayo. Mad gusto kong mamatay nalang kaysa sa bumalik ka sa akin. Maine sobrang sakit. Binigay ko lahat lahat ng meron ako. Pero ang lahat ng yun mababalewala lang pala."

"Hindi mo na nga ako girlfriend pero please naman, intindihin mo ako. Mahal na mahal kita. Hindi ko ginawa ang lahat ng narinig mo mula sa binigay ng kapatid mo. Rj, malinis akong tao. Ikaw ang kumuha sa isang bagay na pinangako ko sa sarili ko na ibibigay ko to sa taong mahal ko hindi sa kung sino-sino lang. Pero kung ikinamumuhi mo ako, wala akong magagawa. Sorry."

Maine left the room. She saw the two outside but she ignored them.

Rj is crying hard while screaming. And Richard Sr. went inside to try calming him.

"Anak, tama na."

"Dad. Saan ako nagkulang.??"

Angela went inside and hugged her Daddy Rj.

"Daddy tama na. Baka may mangyari pa sayong masama.".

"Sorry Angela. I lost your Mommy Maine. Maine and I won't be okay anymore."

***#*#*#*#*#*#*#

2 weeks later.......

Days after, Maine is all set and ready for her flight going to England. She is thankful that the rumor thrown to her did not spread in the office. She already passed her resigntion letter and Ma'am Celes approved it without giving Maine a chance to explain because Ma'am Celes knows what happened to her and Rj.

Meanwhile, Rj is discharged from the hospital three days after he was confined. He went to work the day after. Ma'am Celes told him that she will give him another secretary but Rj rejected it. He told her that he won't need any secretary anymore because he will also resign and just start an bussiness instead, and Ma'am Celes agreed.

'You can't blame me Maine if I easily believe onto the thing that Riza let me know. Kahit masakit Mahal pa rin kita, Maine Mendoza. Hindi ako nagagalit sayo pero naiinis lang ako. Someday mawawala din ito.'
