Gavril’s Point of View
Fifteen Years had passed.
The ambiance inside the courtroom was filled with tension as everyone inside is waiting for prosecutors and the defendant’s side to speak. Everyone is cautious and careful. The judge locked his eyes on anyone who is speaking. This is not actually a tough case, because I can actually prove this old man’s innocence. This is a case of murder but the real culprit of this crime framed up someone, pointing and setting up someone’s innocence.
I sat very straight and calmly as I can while I am hearing the lawyer of the defendant’s statement. He stating the scenario capturing the main suspect of the crime. He also asked the suspect about his statement of what happened that night. I looked at the old man seated in the jury box seat as he was asking about the case. Kita ko ang labis na kaba at takot sa mata ng matanda. His voice

Dysfunctional Chapter 1. "The guy with a black wrist band"
Chapter 1. "The guy with a black wrist band" The sound of the ambulance means that someone is hurt. It means that someone's life is in danger. There are two possible things that might happen because of that ambulance, it can save lives; it can deliver you to your last destination. Malalim at mabilis akong humihinga habang patuloy na pumapasok sa isip ko ang tunog, hitsura at ang nangyayari sa loob ng isang ambulansya. Nangyayari na naman at hindi ko akalain na ngayon din agad ito mangyayari. March 15, 20197:41:45 AM Car Accident Tiningnan ko ang sinulat ko sa isang sticky note. I took a deep breath as I stare at the piece of paper I am holding and a tear started to shed from my eyes. I was on my way to school when that lad
Dysfunctional Chapter 2. "I didn't see that coming"
Chapter 2. "I didn't see that coming" Pagbalik ko kanina sa rooftop ay wala na ang lalaking nakita ko sa CR at nagpapalipad ng saranggola kanina. Hinanap ko rin ang naiwan kong notebook pero wala na rin ito. And I am sure that he has my book. Hingal na hingal pa ako dahil sa pagtakbo ko paakyat sa rooftop. Ang bilis naman niyang maka-alis at saan naman siya dumaan. Patapos na ang last subject namin. At kanina pa ako hindi mapakali sa kakaisip sa notebook ko. What if mabasa niya? What if ipagkalat niya? My life is already miserable in this school and it'll be more miserable if what's inside that notebook expose on the whole campus. Pag ring na pag ring ng bell ay mabilis akong tumayo at inayos ang gamit ko. Just like what always happen, every time I move, all of my classmates look at me like I am kind of criminal in this room. Pero hindi ko na sila pinansin pa at pagtapos kong ayusin ang mga gamit ko ay dali-dali akong lumabas ng clas
Dysfunctional Chapter 3. “I’m nobody, who are you?”
Chapter 3. “I’m nobody, who are you?” Tahimik lamang kaming dalawa habang naglalakad papunta sa sakayan ng tricycle. May mga tao pa kanina na nagsabi na pumunta kami sa hospital pero ayos lang naman talaga ako. Pero si Gavril, may sugat siya sa may siko dahil sa pagkakahiga niya kanina sa semento. I felt so guilty about it because me he is injured now. Isa pa sa iniisip ko ay ang pangalan niya, I don’t know and I can’t remember but I think that I heard his surname a long time ago but I can’t recall exactly when and where. Napatingin naman ako sa isang sikat na pharmacy store. Huminto ako. “Oh bakit?” tanong niya. Tiningnan ko siya at nagtataka niya lang din akong tiningnan. “Sandali, gagamutin ko ang sugat mo.” Sabi ko at dali-daling naglakad papasok ng pharmacy. Sumunod naman sa akin si Gavril. “Hindi na kailangan, ayos lang ako. Malayo ‘to sa bituka.” Natatawa niyang sabi. Hindi ko siya pinansin at kumuha lang ng mg
Dysfunctional Chapter 4. “We can change the future”
Chapter 4. “We can change the future” “I got a vision that she will die tonight.” Bakas sa mukha ni Gavril ang labis na pagkabigla at pagkalito dahil sa mga nalaman niya. Pareho kaming natahimik at magkatitigan, hinihintay ang susunod na sasabihin at gagawin ng bawat isa. Umayos ako ng tayo at pinulot ang mga nahulog na notes ko sa sahig. “We need to do something.” Napatingin ako kay Gavril dahil sa sinabi niya. Seryoso ang kanyang mukha habang nakatitig din sa akin. “We need to help her.” He suggested. Hindi ko nagawang magsalita at parang pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa ang aking mukha. Nanginginig ang labi ko maging ang mga kamay at tuhod ko. In an hour, may isa na namang mamamatay at wala akong magawa para tulungan o mapigilan ito. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. “I can’t.” “What?” Gavril exclaimed in disappointment. “Bakit? We know that someone’s life is in danger and yet wala kang gagawi
Dysfunctional Chapter 5. “Bounded by fate”
Chapter 5. “Bounded by fate” Three days had passed after what happened to Ms. Velarde. Tatlong araw ko na ring hindi nakikita si Gavril simula noong araw na ‘yon. Actually, tatlong araw ko na rin siyang hinahanap. I am still confused why I can’t see anything about his death when he touched so many times. About Ms. Velarde’s case. Nalaman ko na asawa pala ni Ma’am ang pulis na ‘yon. Newlywed ang dalawa but their marriage is already on the rocks. Masyado raw kasing seloso ang lalaki at palaging pinaghihinalaan si Ma’am. And that emotions of rage and jealousy turned him into an obsessive partner. Ilang beses niya na ring sinaktan si Ma’am based sa report ni Ma’am. Nakakulong ngayon ang lalaki at pinadaplisan lang ng pulis sa binti noong binaril nila ito para hindi na manlaban. After that, nag-leave muna si Ms. Velarde ng one week at umuwi sa parents niya para magpahinga muna. Maagang natapos klase namin dahil pinag-practice na lang kami
Dysfunctional Chapter 6. “We’re together right now”
Chapter 6. “We’re together right now” Nakahalukipkip si Gavril habang seryoso ang mukha at titig na titig sa mga notes na nasa harap niya. Narito kami ngayon sa library. Niyaya niya ako na dito kami mag-usap para pagplanuhan ang gagawin namin tungkol sa mga notes. I can still feel the heavy feelings in my chest about this. Hindi pa rin ako hundred percent na agree sa gustong mangyari ni Gavril. Natatakot pa rin ako na baka, mag-iba ang lahat at mas maging malala pa. “I didn’t expect this. Ano ba ‘tong pinasok ko.” Bigla niyang sabi saka natawa at naiiling-iling. “Wag mo na lang pakialaman, maybe what happened to Ms. Velarde was just luck.” Alangan kong sabi sa kanya. “Do you believe in luck?” tanong niya na pinagtaka ko. Hindi. Hindi ako naniniwala sa luck. Mas naniniwala ako sa destiny. If one thing was destined to be that way, it will happen that way. Hindi ko na nagawang sumagot sa tanong niya nang ihilera niya sa
Dysfunctional Chapter 7. “The sun will shine again”
Chapter 7. “The sun will shine again”“Gavril?” bulalas ko nang pagbukas ko ng gate ay nasa labas si Gavril habang nakasakay sa bike. Parang sing ganda ng papasikat na araw ang ngiti niya.“Good morning, Roux. Tara, sabay na tayong pumasok.” Aya niya sa akin. Alangan kong pinagmasdan ulit ang bicycle na sinasakyan niya. “Hey, don’t worry, I’m a good driver sweet lover.” Natatawa niyang sabi.“Saan naman ako sasakay diyan?” tanong ko sa kanya.“Dito sa harap ko.” Nakangiti niyang sagot. Mas lalo akong nag-alangan na sumabay at sumakay sa bicycle niya. Sobra naming lapit sa isa’t-isa non! “Bakit? Are you still afraid? Hindi ba wala ka namang nakikitang vision about my death?” natatawa niyang sabi. “Alam mo kasi baka pinaglihi ako sa pusa, may siyam na buhay.” Pahabol pa niya saka malakas na tumawa.Tama naman siy
