It was like I woke up from a long sleep.
Dahan-dahan kong idinilat ang mga mata ko at nagtagpo ang mga mata namin ng lalaking nakaupo sa upuan sa gilid ng kama ko.
"Alison," aniya at mas lumapit sa akin. He looked so worried. "Are you okay? Saan ang masakit? Tell me where it hurts. Wait. I'll call the doc—" He was about to leave me but I held his wrist and that made him look at me.
"A-are you okay?" I asked because he looked like a mess.
Napaupo ulit siya dahil siguro sa panghihina ng mga tuhod. Pagod niyang pinasadahan ng kamay ang buhok. "God, Alison. I was worried sick." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "Are you okay?"
"I-I guess I'm okay..." sambit ko. "Ilang araw akong walang malay?"
"It's your 4th day. Thank God, you're now awake," sambit niya.
"But..." I looked at his clothes. May mantsa pa ito ng dugo. "What happened to your clothes?"
"Don't worry about me, Alison." Tumayo siya at pinindot and aidbell button.
Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko upang mas alalahanin ang nangyari at bumalik ang takot sa puso ko nang maalala kung paano ako tumalsik dahil sa pagkakabangga sa akin.
The doctor and nurses came but I was focused on Favro's shirt. He still has my blood.
If so... does that means he hasn't changed his clothes yet?
"Mrs. Segovia?"
I didn't look at the doctor. "I'm okay," mabilis kong sambit.
May mga sinabi pa ang doctor pero hindi ko na inintindi dahil iniisip ko si Favro. Did he even eat?
Paglabas ng mga tao ay lumapit sa akin si Favro. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" he asked me.
Gusto ko siyang tanungin kung bakit hindi pa siya nagpapalit ng damit pero wala akong lakas para roon.
He was the last person I saw when I closed my eyes that night and he was still the first person I saw when I regained consciousness.
Napangiti ako sa kanya. "Favro..." I called him.
"Yes, Ali, what do you need?"
That was the second time he called me by my nickname. "Thank you..." I said in a low voice.
"For what?"
"For staying by my side until I woke up..." Hindi ko na alam kung saan ko pa ilalagay ang ibang saya na nararamdaman ko dahil punong-puno na ito sa puso ko.
"No, Alison." He caressed my face. "Thank you for coming back. Thank you for staying alive."
Dinama ko ang kamay niyang nasa pisngi ko at pumikit pero biglang may memorya na pumasok sa utak ko.
"Comeback, Alison! Please, comeback... I-I'll be good to you... I'll treat you well... j-just please comeback..." Pakiramdam ko ay nasa ambulansya kami at kahit nakapikit na ang mga mata ko ay naririnig ko siya.
Muli kong naramdaman ang paghaplos niya sa pisngi ko kaya dumilat ako. He said those words when he was already good enough for me.
"Favro, you are treating me well already... and that's enough for me..." I said and he shook his head.
"I couldn't protect you that's why you had an accident. It's my fault. I'm sorry, Alison."
