My Delicate Sunshine |COMPLETED|

Mark This Accident

That night, nag book si Seb ng flight nila to Singapore with his father. Nag paalam na ako kay Lege na ihahatid namin sila ni Ela sa airport. At hanggang ngayon, hindi ko parin makalimutan ang mga sinabi niya sa akin nung gabing iyon.

"I'll never let go."

After bidding each goodbyes, they flew to Singapore. My sister and I had to go home early dahil pariho kaming may pasok pa sa lunes. I just hopped on my sister's car. Masyado pang traffic noon.

I was checking on my phone to check if I got a text from my fiancee but I got none. Madalas naman rin gabi lamang ang talk time namin kasi busy siya sa araw. Kaya nakakapag taka na wala pa siyang tawag. Its pass 8 o'clock. Baka pinapakain pa nila ng dinner ang mga bata.

Still, I tried calling him but his phone is out of battery kaya hinayaan ko nalang. I just shifted my thoughts to my bestfriend. I just hope he won't feel lonely doon sa Singapore. Wala kami doon para samahan siya, andito kami lahat sa Davao.

Though, andoon naman ang mga kapatid niya, they are open to each other, they are the best love advicers for me.

I remember one time, his older sister gave me a quick advice para sa mga manliligaw ko noon. That was during the fiesta of the village nung kumain ako ng dinner sa kanila. She said, if I get to love someone, I have to choose wisely. I have to get a guy who can be my bestfriend and brother before being a lifetime partner.

Someone who have Seb's qualities. I even laugh crisply at it. Para niya kasing sinasabing katulad ni Seb ang dapat kong mahalin. And she's just right. Ang taong minahal ko, ay katulad na katulad ni Seb. He's even more.

Sana nga lang eh, maka hanap na ang bestfriend ko ng the one niya. 7 years? Ang tagal na nun. Sana naka move on na siya sa first love niya. Na curious tuloy ako kung sino iyong first girlfriend niya.

She must be that gorgeous and special. My bestfriend just can't take the risk to move on. Sana nga ay makakita siya roon sa Singapore para may partner na siya pag balik niya sa kasal ko.

I laughed silently at the thought.

Napansin iyon ni Ela.

"Are you alright?" she took a quick glance at me as the red light blinked.

I just nodded trying to hide my smile.

Hindi ko namalayang nag vavibrate na pala ang phone ko and it was Lege's mother.

It took me 5 seconds to stare at it before answering. I was thinking of a positive reason as to why she was calling me that night which just rarely happen. I was expecting for an invitation, a dinner or just a mere consultation.

But I was all wrong.

It was worst.

All I could hear was her sobs.

"Shine, please come here. Legend needs you. He's dying."

Parang nabingi ako ng ilang sandali after hearing that news. My tears automatically fell as I begged Ela to go to the nearest hospital in town.

Mabilis ang mga naging pangyayari. After rushing to the hospital. I found out that mu fiancee met a car accident on his way home. That caused him traumatic injuries in his head and got commatosed all of a sudden.

Sa isang iglap, naglaho ang kaligayahang nararamdaman ko noon. Napalitan iyon ng hinagpis at hagulhol.

A day passed, wala pa ring improvements.

Another day passed, wala pa rin.

I filed a 1 month leave para matuonan ko ng pansin si Legend. Kasi useless din naman kapag pinilit kong magtrabaho, my mind is hectic, it keeps on reminding me about my fiancee's condition.

Everyday akong nasa hospital kasama ang family niya. Araw araw, hinihintay kong magising siya. Nagbabaka sakali ako na marinig muli ang malambing niyang boses. Araw araw, ipinagdadasal ko na natuloy ang nalalapit naming kasal.

But it seems like ipinagkakait ng Diyos ang tanging dasal ko.

Pakiramdam ko, ayaw niya akong maging masaya. I kept on asking him what did I do wrong to deserve this. Why me? Why him? Why us?

I have a lot of queries but until now, yes until now, they were left unanswered.

Kung sa umaga palagi akong nagpapa katatag at naghihintay. Gabi gabi naman akong humahagulhol, inilalabas ko ang sakit na nararamdaman ko.

My mother, sister and the rest of my squad, sila ang naging karamay ko sa mga oras na hindi ko na kinakaya. Alam nila lahat ng hinanakit ko. At gustuhin ko man, hindi talaga mawala wala iyon.

Alam ko na kahit sino ang nasa posisyon ko. You'd also break apart. Seeing the love of your life, lying there, unconcious. Not making any progress to live.

Masakit.
Sobrang sakit.
Ngunit kinaya ko.
I grew up receiving all the love I have to receive from people that sorround me, and that's one reason to keep on going. To be strong.

Dumaan pa ang ilang mga araw at linggo, buwan. Pati na ang exact date ng aming kasal. Wala pa ring improvements. Umuwi na rin si Seb a month after everything that happened.

He felt sorry for not being there for me. Pero sinabi ko na sa kanya that he doesn't had to, because we were both having the worst moments of our life nung panahong iyon. I understood him well because I saw how destroyed he was.

I never hold grudges to him dahil alam kong totoo ang intentions niya. That he also had family related responsibilities. People never really left me, they kept on telling me to be strong for Lege. And I told them I was never gonna give up.

Weeks continue to pass by and I went back to work. I got promoted as one of the head engineers sa isang commercial buildings. Medyo dumami ang duties ko. Palipat lipat ako sa firm at field. Depende sa location ng projects.

At kahit pagod na pagod na ako, ni minsan hindi ko nakalimutang dalawin parin si Legend gabi gabi. I sleep at the hospital. Kinikwentohan ko siya, kinakantahan, inaalagaan ko siya before going to sleep dahil alam kong naririnig niya ako.

Kahit nakaka pagod na umuwi ng bahay pagka madaling araw at umiglip saglit, tapos magtrabaho ulit. I still did, nakakaya ko. Nakaka pagod, pero hindi ko inalis ang pag asa. That one day, he'll wake up. Hug me, sing me a song again, spoil me with kisses, say I love you to me, and marry me.

It was my 23rd birthday. 3 months after the accident. Nag simba lang kami ni mommy at ni Ela instead of having celebrations. It's just not appropriate. Dahil may lagnat si mommy noon, hinatid muna namin siya sa bahay para mag pahinga bago kami dumalaw sa ospital.

And someone was banging our door, it was none other than Sebastian.

"Seb anong problema? Dahan dahan lang kasi natutulog si Tita." Bungad ni Ela habang kumakain pa kami ng tanghalian.

"Why can't I contact the both of you?!" He seemed so upset with the fact that my sister and I are both empty battery.

"Ano ba kasi pakay mo? You should greet me first!" I stated immatured.

"Hapoy birthday my bestfriend! You've got to go to the hospital right now Shine." He grabbed both of my hands.

Maraming scenario ang pumasok kaagad sa utak ko matapos niyang sabihin iyon. I was thinking if, may masama bang nangyari kay Lege or...

"He is already awake."
