Charles Pov
I felt a pain in my left shoulder. May bandage ako sa ulo ganun din sa kaliwang balikat ko. I saw Aldrin beside my bed. I just remembered what happened. I was on my way to my room after i arrived from my girlfriend's house. Medyo may konting hilo ako nun dahil sa ininom namin nila Tatay and i felt something hard hit my head.
I dont know how long I was unconcious but when I opened my eyes I saw a woman holding Clau. Medyo blurred yung image sa paningin ko maybe because of the partial blood on my eyes but I am sure it was Clau on the floor being hostage by this woman. All else went blurred when i heard a few gunshots.
"Where is Clau? Can you let me see her?" tanong ko pa sa kanya habang tinatanggal ang nakakabit na dextrose sa kamay ko
"Charles! Calm down okay. She is on the operating room. Andun din lahat ng kapamilya niya. You better rest. Ang daming nawalang dugo sayo" paliwanag pa ni Aldrin
"What happened with the assailant?" madiin ko pang tanong
"She is already in jail. Luckily they got there on time before you die. May lahi ka din palang demonyo" napangiti pa eto. "Tita and Tito are on their way, kakilala ko yung police na tinawagan so he contacted me right away. I just got home from my flight" mahaba pa niyang dagdag
"Who is she?I dont recall her face" tanong ko pa sa kanya
"We tried to run her name on your company's list and it turned out she was one of the applicant. She might have hold grudge on you dahil hindi mo siya nabigyan ng chance mainterview" paliwanag pa niya
"I think you need to talk to your girlfriend's family Dude. They were very shocked. " dagdag pa niya
"I know, even I was shocked. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pumunta siya mag isa sa office. I'll go talk to them" dahan dahan akong bumaba ng bed at hinila ang stand ng dextrose. Sinamahan naman ako ni Aldrin makalapit sa kanila
I can see the worries on Tatay's face. Pancho and Miguel were looking straightly on my eyes. "Tay!" mahina kong tawag kay Tatay. "I am sorry, hindi ko alam na ganito ang pwedeng mangyari with my actions" dagdag ko pa
"This is your fault!" kinuwelyuhan ako bigla ni Pancho pero hindi ako pumalag " "Kapag may nangyari sa ate namin ikaw ang sisihin namin!" I felt his anger and I can see it in his eyes
Pinipigilan naman siya ni Miguel at ni Tatay habang hawak naman ako ni Aldrin. "Tama na yan Pancho, that will not change anything. Let's just hope that the operation will go well" si Anna na nakatitig kay Aldrin
"Naiintindihan kita Anak, magpahinga ka na muna at alam kong hindi lang si Clau ang nanganib ang buhay. Balik ka na sa kwarto mo at pupuntahan ka namin kung may balita na" paliwanag pa ng Tatay
"No, I want to wait here outside. Gusto ko pong makita siyang ligtas at gusto ko pong marinig yun sa mismong Doctor na nagopera sa kanya." pahayag ko pa kay Tatay
"O siya, maupo ka rito." imenuwestra naman niya ang upuan na katabi ng sa kanya at tinulak ko ang stand ng dextrose ko papunta roon
Aldrin was left standing looking at Anna. I think it was the first time they met again dahil sabi ni Aldrin na kakadating lang niya from his travel.
Aldrin's Pov
Papalapit na kami sa labas ng operating room and I saw a familiar built. Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali. It was her. Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya dahil nabibingi ako sa mga nangyayari. She still look gorgeous just like before. I was not expecting that I will meet her during this kind of situation.
"Tama na yan Pancho, that will not change anything. Let's just hope that the operation will go well" sabi pa niya and our eyes locked
I walked towards her. " Can we talk outside?" mahina kong tanong
"I'm sorry but I dont know you." umupo pa siya para ipakita na wala siyang pakialam. Napatingin lang ang magkapatid sa amin dahil alam nila ang history namin ni Anna
Her words were like knife to me. She was just like the old Anna I remember. I stood up straightly. " I know a way you can remember me but I doubt you want me doing that here Anna Del Castillo?" medyo nilakasan ko pa ang boses ko para mas marinig niya at binigyan diin ang pangalan niya
I missed her so much that I want to kiss her right at this moment. Napansin kong ngumiti ng bahagya ang magkapatid na Pancho at Miguel. Tumayo naman siya at hinila ako palabas ng ospital.
Anna's Pov
I was praying for Clau's safety. I should have went there earlier para hindi na siya natamaan ng bala. We went upstairs a little late dahil nakarinig na kami ng isang putok. It was the bullet on Charles shoulder. The police shoot the woman but it was too late as she already pull the trigger and it went straightly to Clau's tummy.
The ambulance were on ready so we were able to bring them right away to the hospital. They were both unconscious but Clau's condition is complicated as it could be in her stomach. Its been an hour when the operation started at wala pang lumalabas na doctor.
I saw Charles coming our way with someone with him. I know that man. I could not be mistaken. His tallness, his features, his well toned body and his face. I felt a pang of sadness in me after seeing him.
Muntik ng suntukin ni Pancho si Charles and I stopped them. I was able to look at his beautiful eyes but I need to stop myself. He went in front of me and asked if we can talk.
"I'm sorry but I don't know you." sabi ko pa sa kanya
He stood up straight and said "I know a way you can remember me but I don't think you want me doing that here Anna Del Castillo?" nilakasan pa niya para marinig ko talaga
Nakaramdam ako ng inis. Hindi pa din siya nagbabago. Gusto pa din niyang siya ang nasusunod sa mga gusto niya. I pulled his hand and went outside the hospital.
Anna's POV
We sat down sa wooden bench sa labas ng emergency room ng ospital.
"I will give you 30 seconds from now to talk" sabi ko kay Aldrin without looking at him
" 30 , 29 , 28 ......."
Aldrin's POV
I sat beside her sa wooden bench outside the emergency room.
"I will give you 30 seconds from now to talk" sabi nya ng walang kaemo emosyon
" 30 , 29 , 28 ......." Niyakap ko siya ng mahigipit while she continue counting
" I missed you so much my Queen" while hugging her
Tinanggal nya ang pagkakayakap ko. "25, 24, 23 .....
I lifted her chin so that she can look straight in my eyes but she suddenly closed it. So that she can avoid my glare.
"Wrong move" mahina kong bulong
Hinila ko ang leeg nya and I kissed her with all my might but she was strong enough to push me away and slap me very hard.
That's it! You will no longer able to have a word with me.
She started walking inside the hospital and I just followed her.
This is not what I dreamt of upon returning. Ang dami kong gustong ikwento sa kanya but I think my chance was gone.
I need to come with a great plan para magkaayos kami.
"Hindi ako papayag na iba ang makakasama mo habambuhay Anna. You are only mine and you cant be someone else" I just thought while going back inside the hospital
