"YOU'RE NOT Althea..." He said.
Nagulat naman ako.
What is he talking about?
"Sandro... she is." Tita Liza said.
He looked at her na parang hindi nya talaga ako kilala.
"No...mom... that's not Althea" He said habang nakatitig pa rin sa akin.
"Darling.." Dahan dahan naman akong lumapit ulit sa kanya.
"Hindi nga ikaw si Althea ko!" He pushed me so hard na halos matumba ako.
Simon was able to catch me.
"Sandro!" Sigaw ni tito Bong.
"Dad! That's not Althea!" Sigaw nya ulit.
Naiiyak na ako.
Ba't hindi nya ako kilala?
"Sandro... it's me... it's Althea" Hinawakan ko naman ang mukha nya.
I was hoping he'd recognized me.
"Please stop joking around. Hindi na ako natutuwa." I told him.
Nararamdaman ko naman ang bawat patak ng luha ko.
"No! You're not Althea!" He shouted again at itinulak akong muli.
"Okay.. calm down Sandro please" Tita Liza said habang hinihimas ang likod nito.
"Mom! That's not--"
"Wait... why are you wearing that ring?" He asked me.
"Para kay Althea yan! Ba't mo suot yan?!" He was furious.
"You gave this to me Sandro. Magpo-propose ka sa akin di ba?" I asked in a gentle way.
"No! I gave that to...Althea?" He asked.
Kilala nya na ako?
Unti akong nabubuhayan ng loob.
Pero...
"Andyan ka lang pala..." He said.
I looked back and he was referring to Diane.
Lahat kami nagulat kahit si Diane.
"Sir?" She asked him.
"Ano ka ba.. matagal mo na akong di tinatawag na sir..." Sandro said.
He was eager to touch her.
"Sandro..." I said.
"Anak... that's not Althea... this is Althea" Tita Liza said calmly.
Kumunot naman ang noo nito.
"Mom! No! Hindi yan si Althea... hindi ko nga kilala yan eh" Sumigaw sya ulit.
"Sandro...maniwala ka sa amin... this is--" His dad tried to convince him too.
"NO! HINDI YAN SI ALTHEA!!!" He shouted.
Tahimik na akong naiiyak habang pinapanood sya.
I looked back at the Diane and she was crying din.
Ano bang nangyayari?
"AAAGGHHHH ANG SAKIT" Sandro shouted habang nakahawak sa ulo nya.
"Vinny tawagin mo yung doctor." Tito Bong said.
Dumating naman agad ang doctor and he was brought sa isang laboratory.
We waited outside of his room, naghihintay ng sagot sa mga katanungan namin.
"Doc? What's happening to my son?" Tita Liza asked paglabas ng doctor.
"Based on the result of his MRI, he is suffering from confabulation amnesia. His brain is still swelling and any moment that he will feel pressure or stress nagkakaroon ng bleeding sa loob."
"Someone with confabulation has memory loss that affects their higher reasoning. They subconsciously create stories as a way to conceal their memory loss. They aren't aware that they aren't telling the truth. They don't have any doubt about the things they are saying, even if those around them know the story is untrue."
The doctor explained.
"In Sandro's case. He forgot everything that happened in the present time. He only remembers events that happened in the past"
"But... why... can't he remember who is Althea?" Simon asked.
"He can remember Athea... but not the real one. Like I said he subconsciously created another Althea with the person he last saw before the accident"
"And that is Diane" I said.
We all looked at her.
She looked scared.
"Mam Althea... wala po akong ginawa... wala po..." She was crying habang hinahawakan ang mga kamay ko.
"I know Diane..." Sagot ko.
"Will his memories return doc?" Tito Bong asked.
"It depends. Kailangan natin dahan-dahanin ang mga sasabihin sa kanya but as of now, hindi natin pwedeng ipilit sa kanya ang katotohanan"
Napaupo naman ako.
I feel so tired.
Bakit ba nangyayari sa amin to ni Sandro?
"Althea.." Simon said habang inaalalayan ako.
Nag-usap naman kaming lahat sa waiting area.
Kung ano ang dapat naming gagawin.
"We should slowly introduce him to the real Althea." Tito Bong said.
"Dad... si Diane nga ang kilala niyang Althea.." Sumagot naman si Vinny.
"Anong gagawin natin?" Simon asked.
"Ilalayo natin si Diane sa kanya. We will help him remember you Althea." Tito Bong said to me.
Hindi ko naman kung anong gagawin ko.
Si Alex ang nasa isip ko, he is learning to love Sandro na and then mawawala lang lahat yun.
Kaya kong tanggapin, kaya kong tiisin kung ako lang pero pati si Alex hindi nya maalala.
Hindi ako nagpakita kay Sandro sa hospital.
I waited for him na makauwi, it took him almost 2 weeks sa doon.
"Ready na po ba yung sinigang? I asked one of the maids.
"Yes mam" She answered.
"Oh, dami mo atang niluto iha?" Tita Liza asked.
"Opo, mga favorites ni Sandro." I was excited.
Sabi nila nag-iimprove na daw yung kalagayan nya.
Baka pag magkita kaming muli maalala nya na ako.
"He's here" Tito Bong said habang inaalalayan maglakad papasok si Sandro.
I was smiling at him pero nakatingin lang sya sa akin.
"Daddy" Alex ran towards him.
Waiting for Sandro na kargahin sya.
My heart broke for Alex when Sandro just stared at him and dinaanan nya lang yung anak namin.
"Who's kid is that?" Sandro asked without concern about Alex.
