Remember Me This Way

Time To Go Back

Ems pov

         Exactly 22 days since I volunteer myself na maging nurse ni Laura and now kailangan ko na bumalik sa normal life. After the doctor said that pwede na siyang  walang nurse. Im happy for her but at the same time im sad dahil di parin bumabalik ang buong alaala niya she still not remember any memory about me. Pero di ako susuko i will still visit her no matter what it takes. Mag iimpake naku ng puntahan ako ni Laura. She's sad i see it in her face. Kung pwede ko lang sana sabihin sa kanya ang totoo pero gusto ko siya mismo ang makaala sakin at ready hintayin yun. Ayaw kung sabihin baka eppresure niya sarili niya kung sasabihin ko ang tungkol samin. Alam ko Emily is my bestfriend sometimes i hate myself for doing this but as much as i want to stay away from Laura my heart says no.

"I just want to say that thank you Ems. The sacrifice you made. You're really a good nurse."

"Its my job and im happy that you appreciates it."

"I wish i will  remember you before you go"

"Someday you'll remember me. For now let just leave in that way okay. Magkikita parin naman tayo. I'll visits you time to time."

Laura hug me. I feel her at di ko mapigilan na tumulo ang luha ko. I really miss her.

Nakita ko si Ems na umiyak. Parang may kumurot sa puso ko nang makita ko na tumulo ang luha niya. I wipe her tears.  Di ko alam ano nag udyok sa akin but I kiss Ems.

   I saw Laura and Ems kissing. Di ko maiwasan magselos. After all kahit walang maalala si Laura still her heart kay Ems parin. Diko maiwasan masaktan i still love Laura And seeing them kissing break my heart so much.I thought nung mawala ako ay makakalimutan ko na si Laura but i did'nt. She now treat me as her ex or a friend even though she remembers our past she never make any moves to win me back or respond any of my flirt. I think I really lost Laura pero umaasa parin ako na balikan niya ako especially wala siyang maalala kila Ems. Natigil ang halikan nila ng mapansin nila dumating ako.

Nagmamadaling umalis si Emily.

Nakaalis si Ems at naiwan si Laura na parang wala sa mood. Nilapitan ko siya.

"Hey bo, labas tayo."

" I told you don't call me that Jo. I told you."

"Pero gusto ko."

Pumunta ako sa likuran ni Laura at niyakap siya.

Binaba niya mga kamay ko.

"Stop it Jo."

"Why are you threating me like this bo. I thought you forgave me. Don't you remember  that you love me?"

"Yeah, but that doesnt mean i want you back. You broke my heart Jo. You left me without a word. And now you just want us back na parang walang nangyari. "

I"s that really the reason Luo or dahil kay Ems"

"Wag mo isali si Ems dito Jo. You know that all i said is true."

"Yeah at bakit. She's the reason why your acting like that now.If you only knew Ems is the reason why your having a memory loss."

"What did you say?"

Nagulat ako sa sinabi ko. Napag usapan namin lahat na di muna dapat malaman ni Laura lahat. And now lumabas sa bibig ko di lang si Ems magagalit sa akin kundi family ni Laura kaya iniba ko ang topic. Diko alam kung bakit naging b***h ako ngayon. Nakalimutan ko na kaibigan ko si Emily. I'm really not myself now.

"Kalimutan mo sinabi ko bo. Basta tandaan mo to you must stay away from Ems."

"Really Jo? I think my dika sinasabi sakin tungkol ky Ems. Now Jo tell me. Who is Ems and why i did'nt remember her.  And why she's the only one that keeps repeating in my flashback.Tell me!"

Di ko alam kung sa akin nagagalit si Laura o sa situation niyang di niya maalala si Ems.

"I think i should go."

Ayaw ko na lumala lahat kaya mas pinili kong umalis at iwan si Laura. Ayoko ko na makagawa pa ng kasalanan sa bestfriend ko. Ems does'snt deserve this. I must really accept that wala nang pag asa na mababawi ko pa si Laura. She was really move on.

       Diko mapigilan na magalit sa sarili ko kanina. I think i scared Joanne. Wala desperate nako malaman ang totoo. Since im out from the hospital no one dares to talk about everything why i had an accident in the first place.  Why Joanne told me that Ems is the reason why I had an accident. I want to know if this is true. I want to know everything. Marami din bumabagabag sa isip ko after the accident. This set up. Si Ems I know she's not the typical nurse na nag aalaga ng patient. Lahat ng nasa paligid ko parang may nililihim sa akin and it drives me crazy.

 Di ako nakatulog nang gabing yun kaya naman kinabukasan naisipan kung maghalungkat ng papers gusto ko na rin kasi bumalik ng work. Bored na ako sa bahay. Kailangan ko lang ng clearance ng doctor bago ako makapagwork ulit. So isa isa ko tiningnan ang mga file sa cabinet ko. Tiningnan ko if my patient ba ako before accident at yes meron nga. I call his contact no. At alam niya pala nangyari sakin kuya Jay refer his to other therapist. So kuya Jay fix  everything as usual. To the rescue si kuya. Isasarado ko na sana ang filing cabinet when i saw a folder na parang nacurios ako. As i opened it nakita ko ang picture ni Ems. She was patient. Diko alam bakit di sinabi ni Ems na naging patrient ko siya dati.Nakita ko address niya i write it . i decide to visit her. Gusto ko siyang tanungin about what Joanne said last time at gusto ko rin siya makita. I miss her.
