로그인The hospital had become a strange second home for everyone connected to Dera, a place filled with endless waiting rooms, sleepless nights, cold coffee, silent prayers, and the constant fear that one wrong sentence from a doctor could destroy what little hope they were desperately holding onto, and while the younger ones tried to survive the situation through sarcasm, arguments, or distraction, the mothers carried their pain differently quietly, heavily, and alone.Dera’s mother looked older now.Not because of time.But because grief had a way of aging people faster than years ever could.That afternoon, she sat alone inside the small hospital chapel with trembling hands clasped tightly together, staring blankly at the dim light in front of her while tears silently rolled down her cheeks one after another, because no matter how much she tried to stay strong for her daughter, for the children, for everyone around her she was still just a mother watching her child suffer again and again

The moment Dera’s fingers moved, the entire hospital room erupted into chaos so quickly that even the nurses outside became startled by the sudden shouting, because after days of silence, after endless hours of waiting and praying and crying, even the smallest movement felt like a miracle nobody dared hope for anymore.“Doctor!” Alex shouted immediately, his chair nearly falling backward as he stood up too fast, his trembling hands still holding onto Dera’s weak fingers like he was terrified the movement would disappear if he let go.Within seconds, doctors and nurses rushed into the room while everyone else stepped back anxiously, watching every tiny reaction from Dera as though their entire world depended on it.Because it did.The doctor carefully checked the monitors before turning toward Alex and the others with a calmer expression than they had seen in days.“It’s a good sign,” the doctor explained, nodding slightly, “very good, actually… patients in comas sometimes respond to f
The hospital room was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet, but the kind that suffocated everyone inside it the kind that made every sound feel heavier, every breath harder, every second painfully longer because despite the steady beeping of the machines surrounding Dera’s bed, despite the doctors saying she was alive, the truth remained cruelly simple.She still hadn’t opened her eyes.Three days.Three painfully long days had passed since the incident at the facility, and not once had Dera moved, not once had she spoken, not once had she reacted to anything around her, leaving everyone trapped in a nightmare they could not wake up from.Alex looked worse with each passing hour.The once intimidating man who used to terrify entire organizations now sat beside a hospital bed like a broken soul barely holding himself together, his clothes wrinkled, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep, his hands trembling every time he touched Dera like he was terrified she would disappear if he
Hindi ko na alam kung gaano katagal akong nakahiga doon sa malamig na sahig habang unti-unting nawawala ang pakiramdam sa katawan ko, dahil ang sakit na kanina ay matalim at malinaw ay naging mabigat na lamang isang bigat na parang hinihila ako pababa, palayo sa ingay, palayo sa laban, palayo sa mundong pilit kong hinahawakan, at sa gitna ng unti-unting pagdilim ng paningin ko ay iisa lang ang malinaw ang mukha ni Alex na nakatingin sa akin na parang mawawala rin siya kung bibitaw ako.“Don’t close your eyes.”Mahina ang boses niya.Pero puno ng takot.Pinilit kong ngumiti kahit halos hindi ko na maramdaman ang labi ko.“Bossy…” bulong ko, pilit magbiro kahit mahina na ang boses ko.Napailing siya agad, parang hindi niya kayang sabayan ang biro ko sa sandaling iyon.“This isn’t funny,” sabi niya, mas lalong humigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay ko, “stay with me, Dera… just stay with me…”Gusto kong sagutin siya.Gusto kong sabihin na nandito lang ako.Pero ang katawan ko hindi na sumusuno
Hindi ko na narinig ang sarili kong paghinga sa lakas ng alarm na patuloy na umaalingawngaw sa buong pasilidad, dahil sa bawat segundo na lumilipas ay mas lalo kaming napapalibutan ng mga taong handang pigilan kami, at habang tumatakbo kami sa makipot na hallway na tila walang katapusan, nararamdaman ko ang pagtaas ng adrenaline sa katawan ko isang halo ng takot at tapang na hindi ko na kayang paghiwalayin.“This way!” sigaw ni Alex, mabilis na lumiko sa isang side corridor, at walang pag-aalinlangan ay sumunod kami, kahit hindi namin alam kung ano ang naghihintay sa dulo nito.“Grabe, I think I'm gonna die!!” sigaw ni Lora habang halos madapa sa bilis ng takbo namin, “full-on action movie na ‘to I don't want to die ugly huhu!”“Focus, Lora!” sagot ni Ji Lian, hawak ang braso niya para hindi siya maiwan.“im focused bitch!” sagot niya agad, “focused na gusto ko nang umuwi!”Sa gitna ng kaguluhan, hindi ko napigilang mapangiti nang bahagya isang mabilis, halos hindi mapansing sandali b
Hindi ko pa rin maipaliwanag kung anong klaseng buhay na ba ang meron ako ngayon habang nakatayo ako sa harap ng malaking glass window ng hotel suite namin, nakatanaw sa tanawin ng lungsod na dati ko lang nakikita sa movies at Pinterest boards, at ngayon ay literal na nasa harapan ko na parang isan
Pagkatapos ng sunod-sunod na kaguluhan, iyakan ng pamilya, biglaang kasal, at emotional rollercoaster na parang teleserye na walang commercial break, ngayon ko lang tuluyang naramdaman ang katahimikan habang nakaupo ako sa loob ng private jet na halos hindi ko pa rin ma-process kung paano ako napun
