Forty Two

"Francine!"

"W-Where is he?!" I asked nervously habang naka-hawak sa mga braso niya.

"H-He's in the emergency room. We can't go th—Francine!"

No! I want to see him! I want to see Zion!

"Ma'am, bawal po kayo dit—"

"N-No! Let me see him! Let me see Zion!" I said while pushing the nurse.

"Francine! C-Calm down, please." Teddy B. held my arms. He was trying to pull me but I'm not letting him. .

"P-Please! Just let me see him! Please!" I whined like a child. I am crying so hard, damn. My tears won't stop!

"Hindi nga po pwede, Ma'am. Tinitignan pa po siya ng mga doctor."

"J-Just a sneak, please! I-I just want to see him... please..." halos mapa-luhod na ako sa sahig.

Damn. I am so weak. I can't feel my legs anymore.

"Francine, p-please calm down." Teddy B. hugged me. "Calm down, okay? He's fine. I-I know he's fine." he said while hugging me.

"T-Teddy B, Zion... I-I want to see him... H-He can't leave me, please..." I whispered while crying. Humawak ako sa mga braso niya dahil feeling ko talaga ay mahihimatay na lang ako bigla.

My body felt so weak. I am so tired.

"He won't leave you, okay? H-He can't do that to you." niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit.

"H-He can't leave me... he can't..." I whispered as I let him pulled me.

Because my body feels so weak, hindi na ako naka-angal pa when he made me seat on the chair. I am crying like a newborn baby. I can't stop. Fuck.

"He's gonna be alright, Francine. He's gonna be alright." he whispered while caressing my hair.

I closed my eyes as I nodded my head. I'm trying to calm myself, breaking down is not a good idea right now. I need to be strong. Damn. Keep yourself together, Francine. You need to be fucking strong.

"W-What happened to him?" I asked after I calmed myself down.

"In the set, he is shooting, right? The scene is about saving someone from a fire accident."

I nodded my head. I know that. I've read that on the script.

"And, unfortunately, when he was trying to save someone, nahulog siya sa hagdanan. Direk Willy said that it was out of balance, he was really unconscious."

Oh, God. My love.

"I-I hope he's okay." I whispered while wiping my damn tears.

Teddy B. smiled, "Of course, he is. He's strong, Fran—"

"D-Doc." tumayo agad kami ng may lumabas na doctor from the emergency room.

"H-How is he?" I asked nervously. She asked kung sino ako, and I said na girlfriend ako ni Zion.

"He's fine. He had a fall from a high place, but I'm relieved to tell you that there are no signs of any fractures or serious injuries."

Oh, thank God!

"Is he still unconscious, Doc?" Teddy B. asked him.

"Yes, the impact of the fall caused him to lose consciousness, but there's no internal bleeding or significant head injury. I believe he might have a concussion, which is why he hasn't regained consciousness yet. But, don't worry. We're doing everything we can to help him regain consciousness."
