Rain of Nightmares (Medical Series #2)

"He's going to wake up, right? They're going to be fine, right?"

I've been asking Cy about them for the ninth time already and every single attempt of being hysteric, he'll look at me with his concerned eyes who's trying to calm me down.

I can tell--he's suffering because of me. His heart is being pierced everytime he'll caught even a single tear jumping out of my eyes. I can tell. He's very worried about me.

"They're going to be fine, okay?" Lumapit siya sa akin at hinalikan ako sa noo. That made me calm a little.

He then reached for my hand, wiping the crimson color from it with his black handkerchief. Slowly and softly--he's been stroking the fabric on my hand until the stains had finally disappeared from it.

"Here. Para hindi ka naman magmukhang serial killer." He cracked a joke to make me laugh and he didn't fail.

"Thank you." I smiled at him, hands were approaching to his cheeks to make him move towards me.

"Kape?" She gave us a small smile, offering the coffee she bought from the cafeteria.

Hindi ko inabot ang dala niya. Sa halip ay diretso ko siyang niyakap at hinagod ang likod niya. She looked shocked at first but when I whispered to her, she finally wail her pains again.

"It's okay. I know it's hard but he'll be fine. He's fine, Nana. Our LJ's a brave man." I keep on telling her that while she occupied the hallway with her soft sobs.

I know how hard it is for her. Ganito rin ang naramdaman ko nang namatay mismo si CJ sa harap ko. Masakit. Parang hindi mo na nga masabi kung anong klaseng sakit 'yon. You can never describe the pain and fear of losing someone dear to you.

We've been sitting outside the operating for for hours, waiting for the surgery to finish, when Dr. Salinas--Ynna's father, came out, a little worried.

"Find another resident, Nana. The other one inside's not feeling well. She needs to get out of the operating room." Her father said with an authority.

Ynna creased her forehead. "Dad, I can he--"
