Malakas ang kalabog ng aking dibdib. Ramdam ko ang pagkakataranta ng buo kong sistema kasabay nang mahigpit kong paghawak sa kamay ni Race. He is silent at hinahayaan lang akong hilahin siya palabas ng ospital. I have no idea what's going on in his mind at this moment, especially that I refused to look back at him. Gusto kong kausapin siya at magpaliwanag sa kanya nang maayos. Nang kaming dalawa lang.
As we made it to the parking lot and to his car, I quickly faced him and finally met his eyes. Noong una ay naguluhan ako. Inakala ko na baka sa sobrang pagkakataranta ay nabitawan ko siya at hindi namalayang ibang kamay ang nahawakan ko. Halos hindi ko siya nakilala matapos ang mabilis kong paglingon. He looks so distant, eyes were unfocused, almost unseeing. I've seen him like this before.
