Marco's Revenge

MARCO'S POV

I immediately turned the doorknob and was startled by what I had witnessed.

"Mirana!" I run into her direction.

She lay on the floor n.a.k.e.d, I immediately picked up some sheets on our bed just to cover for her body and loaded her immediately. My sweat was dropping and my heart was hammering so fast.

"F.u.c.k! No no no please not now," I cried as I carried her down the stairs.

I trembled to get the car key over the table, fortuitously and immediately I saw it. I quickly took her to the back and lay her down slowly and quickly turned to the driver's seat and entered.

My hands were shaking and I couldn't even enter the key to operate the car.

"F.u.c.k!" I cry in frustration when I don't know what I'm doing. I'm too nervous. I take a deep breath and immediately start the car.

"Everything will be okay Marco just f.u.c.k.i.n.g drive," I gritted my teeth and drive fast to the hospital.

HOSPITAL

"Nurse! Nurse! Help my wife!" I cried as I carry Mirana in my arms.

I made a short walk to the emergency room and the nurses quickly approached us. They immediately supported Mirana and lay on the stretcher and immediately covered with a curtain.

"What happened?" a doctor came up to me while I was doing nothing but tapping my cellphone and trying to find Adam among my contacts. It was easy to find his number but I can even seem to find it, I find my hands were trembling and my forehead is sweating.

"Marco what happened to Mirana," the doctor was once again asked in front of me. I immediately looked at him out of curiosity as to why he knew me.

"Doc?" the doctor of Mirana is here too.

"Calm down tell me everything that happened," he said and he led me to sit in a nearby chair.

Mirana is currently being treated by nurses and an admitting physician.

"I w-was preparing our food then I heard a loud thud coming from our room then t-then I saw her on the floor. What's that? How's that? Why is that? D-doc why? Why is this happening to her? I don't know what to ask anymore," my voice was trembling and my eyes were swelling with tears.

"I don't know how to answer your questions my child but let's just pray that everything's going to be fine," he answered and stands up when the doctor at the emergency room called him.

"Wait for me here."

He saw the two nodding and exchanging questions and answers until they came in and looked at Mirana's bed.

I quickly tapped my cellphone's keyboard and immediately found Adam's number and quickly dialed it and with just a ring he immediately answered it.

"Marco," he answered in the second line.

"Adam, listen to me first, we're here today at the hospital because something happened to Mirana and I don't know what to do. I do not know what to do Adam, I do not know, I do not know what happened I do not know what I would do if something bad happened to her. This is my curse Adam this is all my fault," my voice trembled as I cannot help but cry.

"Wait for us there, we're coming and don't think anything fool. Everything's going to be fine, Mirana's a fighter," and the line was cut immediately. Oh dear God, what difficulties do Mirana and I would face again?

After that wedding, I did nothing but cry next to her while looking at her. This not what she deserves, she deserves something better, not this or not me.

It wouldn't have happened to her if she hadn't married me I would have let Zeke and my wife stay away but how could you do that if I loved them so much. Zeke and Mirana are two of the people I never wanted to lose in my life. Please, God, don't take her away from me.

"Marco, Mirana needs to be taken to the ICU. Don't worry I'd take care of it," he said and saw Mirana being released from the emergency room while lying on the stretcher.

My breath stops when I saw so many paraphernalia on her and her face and skin are also pale.

"Don't worry she's okay."

"How can you say she's okay!" I suck at him I can't hold back. How can he say that?

"I just know it."

"She's in stage 6 Doc and-"

"Stage 7," he cut me off.

I went pale upon hearing those words.

Stage 7 very severe decline in which the person in this stage is nearing death. In this stage seven of the disease, people lose the ability to communicate or respond to their environment. While they may still be able to utter words and phrases, they have no insight into their condition and need assistance with all daily living. In the final stage of Alzheimer's, people may lose their ability to swallow.

It seemed to me for a moment that I remembered the words he had uttered when we were talking.

nearing death...

nearing death...

nearing death...

"Doc," I seemed to call out to him with a low voice.

"Let's face it, Marco, she's nearing in death. I know I did tell you this but I'll tell you again. I am not a God to tell you that she is going to die now because I am just a doctor helping patients to survive. All I have is what I have studied and what I see as a patient response. I don't want to give you hopes but miracle does exist, son. But if it's God's will, it's His will," he patted my arm and went straight to where Mirana was taken.

"I just thought there would be more," I said, and Doc stopped walking and slowly turned to face me.

"I find it amusing. Men are supposed to be made out of steel or something hard you know what I mean but now I see your eyes, your soul. You love her," and with that, he turned his heels and walk.

"Marco!"

"Marina"

"Where's Mirana? Where is my twin?" Her hands were cold as she holds my arms and her voice trembled and tears streamed down her beautiful face.

"She's at ICU, Marina."

"What happened?"

"I d-don't know."

"You don't know? Why the hell you don't know! You two live in one roof and now you tell me you don't know ?!" a loud slap landed on my cheek, I cannot blame her this is all my fault after all.

"Marina please it's not his fault. We don't want all of this," Adam embrace her and she was crying loudly on his shoulders. Adam looked at me apologetically and I just nod.

"She's in stage 7 now."

10 hours later Private Room

"Why isn't she awake?" Mirana asked as she looked at her twin. Her eyes were in tears.

"She will love, come here. Take a seat for a while and calm yourself down," Adam says and Marina willingly obeys him. Marina slowly sat down next to Adam and took the water in front of her and took a sip.

"Marco," she called to me as she took the water to the table and immediately turned to me.

"I'm sorry for what I have done earlier. I was mad that is why I slap you. I know you didn't want this too, it should not be this honeymoon you should be in a happy place today after your wedding. Forgive me for what I did Marco," she apologizes and walks in my direction and embraces me and sobs on my shoulder. I hug her back and hush her.

"It's okay Marina I deserved that slap. It is only natural that you behave like that because you are her twin, she is your sister," I said and she kisses me on my cheek.

"Everything will be fine Marco just give your love in my twin ko at who knows miracle exists," she said and I did not even know that my body was standing up and walking in the direction of Mirana.

I look at her situation.

Tears were streaming down when I held her hand.

"Wake up now baby. We're going to marry again right? Please wake up now. Zeke is waiting for you. W-wake up," I squeezed her hand and I only see these situations on television but she opened his eyes and immediately looked at me.

"God, you're awake!" I exclaimed with joy in my heart. Adam and Marina immediately rose from their seats.

"You're awake Mir, Adam please call a Doctor," Adam responded immediately as his wife said.

"How are you feeling Mir?"

"I'm okay, I want to go home," she said and tears streaming in her eyes.

"Yes we're going home but now the doctor will see you first."

-------------

"Mir, Adam and I will go home first to see our children okay? We will come back immediately," Marina said as she fixes herself.

"Mar please don't tell Zeke about this," she said and Marina just nodded at her.

"Marco just give me a call if you needed anything okay?" Adam stated before they bid their goodbyes.

"Marco," a low voice called me and I immediately looked at her.

"What's up s.e.xy?" I joked which cause her to laugh. How I miss her laugh.

"Come here," she said and patted the side of her bed. Immediately I went in her direction and sat down beside her and as I helped her sit.

"I love you," she said in tears.

"I love you more," I couldn't help but feel tears welling in my eyes.

"I love you most," she burst in a giggle.

"Marco listen to me and please don't say a word let me finish okay?" she stated and I nod in agreement.

"Don't think of me too often Marco when you're in our house or if you want you can move into a new house so you can easily forget me. I don't want you both getting depressed, I don't want you getting down. You sing me a song that you say I am the reason why you are alive, why you are breathing and why are you fighting. I just want you to live. Just live well. Just live Marco together with our son. I'll be walking beside you every step of the way. My husband, you made a promise to me when we're getting married saying each other's vow. For better or for worse right? Now love this is my worse, this is my worse okay? But I know I'm gonna get better, I'm going to fight for you. I'm going to be strong for you. I love you," she said in a low tone of voice that is enough for me to hear it and her eyelids were slowly closing and my heart was hammering so strong. Then suddenly the monitor sounded.
