Chapter 71
“I'm sorry, the patient died due to the wound in her chest and internal bleeding. Her ribs are broken, and it affected her lungs. Kung nabuhay siya… she won't be able to walk. Her legs are fractured badly.”
That’s what the doctor told us.
I stood up slowly and noticed Kuya Angelo wiping his tears.
I bit my lip. I remembered our youth. She was blooming like a flower, and her brother was already building fences so no man could touch her.
I had that flower. But somehow… I failed to protect her.
“Gusto kong makita ang anak ko… pupuntahan ko si Sandra,” Mama Alondra told Kuya Angelo.
“Makikita rin natin si Sandra. Konting tiis la

I ran to the hallway quickly and quietly. I don't want to attend the philosophy class. It's boring.“Hey, River,” Alice greeted me nang malampasan ko siya sa hallway.I winked at her and she held my arms. But damn, this isn’t the time for flirting.“I'll catch up with you later at the party. Right now, I just need to run away from class,” I said and kissed her cheeks.“Alright, see you later,” she said.I smirked and continued running. Surely, the lecturer will catch me in no time kaya mas dapat ko pang bilisan ang takbo. Madaya naman kasi at foundation day tapos may klase siya sa amin.

She never really took me seriously at first. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sa palagay ko ay dahil iyon sa lahat ng katarantaduhang nagawa ko noon.It felt like all of my sins were recorded, and she became my punishment.“I don’t believe you, River. I’m sorry, but you’re unbelievable.” I couldn’t remember how many times Sandra replied this statement to me every time I told her that I like her very much.Kalimitan ay dinadaan ko na lang talaga sa pagbibiro ng pamimilit o di kaya’y pagsuyo sa kaniya. But deep inside, it’s slowly hurting me. It’s like she never trusted me.Imagine? She even tried to turn me into a gay just so her family wouldn’t know about it!

“You’re marrying Charlotte, and that’s final.” Napatanga ako sa sinabi ni Mom sa kabilang linya ng telepono. What the fuck?“Mom, I thought we’re on the same side? You promised me that we’ll convince Dad that I will never marry Cha!”Damn it. It’s been days since I went to Batanes with Cha. Pumayag akong pumunta rito, and even lied to my love that I have a business trip with Dad dahil nangako si Mom na tutulungan niya akong kausapin si Dad basta sumama muna ako pero…“I don’t like that girl, River! Kung ayaw mo siyang hiwalayan… ako ang maghihiwalay sa inyo.” Before I could even argue, ibinaba niya na ang telepono. This is frustrating!Pero hindi

I woke up the next day, feeling more tired than usual. Rinig ko ang pagiging abala ng lahat sa labas kaya't tumayo na ako mula sa pagkakahiga.Napabaling ang aking tingin sa kabilang bahagi ng kama. My tears fell once again at the sight of it.“Dad,” I heard Jordan knocking on the door.Pinunasan ko ang aking mga luha at nilingon ang pinto. Jordan managed to open the door and ran immediately to hug me.“W-What's wrong, Jordan?” I asked him.Umiyak siya at mas humigpit ang yakap sa akin.“H-Have you had breakfast?” tanong ko sa kaniya. Umiling siya at narinig ko ang kaniyang hikbi habang nakayakap sa akin.

“I'll stay here for a bit. Iuwi niyo na lang muna si Jordan. Susunduin ko na lang siya bago ako umuwi sa bahay,” sambit ko at inihiga ang natutulog na si Jordan sa backseat ng van kung nasaan si Aubree. “Alright. We'll go home already. Umuwi ka rin agad at magpahinga…” Dad said. Tumango ako at hinawakan ang pinto para isara. I closed the door and watched them go. Tahimik na ang lugar. The tent was still built, but the chairs were gone already. Bumuntonghininga ako at saka nilingon ang sasakyan ng taong alam kong kanina pa nanonood. “You can come near if you want to. Hindi kita bubugbugin ngayon,” I said after sitting in the grass in front of the grave, knowing that someone can hear me.

“Flight Attendants, prepare for landing, please,” I announced. I stared at the firm runway where we are going to land. Inayos ko ang aking salamin at naghandang mabuti. Mahigit isang linggo rin akong hindi nakauwi. Our overseas flight required us to stay there dahil na rin sa sunod-sunod na flights. I missed home already. Miss na miss ko na rin si Damien. Noong ibinaba ng kasama kong piloto ang landing gear ay ngumiti na ako dahil sa pagka sabik. I gave my full attention to give this flight a smooth landing. Bahagyang sumulyap sa ‘kin si Lionel, but I didn't look back. He should concentrate. Alam niyang hindi ko palalampasin ang pagkakaroon ng magandang landing. But I know that he's also good at this. When we touched down, I smiled a bit as we continued and reduced our speed. Nang makatigil kami ay saka ko naramdaman ang galak sa naging lipad. It was tiring. Nakakangalay at minsan ay nakakairita pero kahit ganoo

Damien was my boyfriend for six years, but I realized that it doesn't depend on how long your relationship was. If the other half cheated once, that person would surely do it again. How ridiculous.“Jeanne, sino ‘yon?” nakangiting tanong ko habang itinuturo ang lalaking nakikipagtawanan at tumutugtog ng gitara.He was smiling from afar while talking to his friends, and he looks so friendly.“Alin?” tanong ni Jeanne.“Iyong tumutugtog ng gitara?”“Ah, si Damien. Hindi naman marunong 'yan, hawak lang ‘yong gitara. Gusto lang magpa-pogi,” aniya.Napangiti ako habang pinagmamasdan iyong Damien na nakikipag kulitan. Totoong hindi nga siya marunong maggitara at puro strum lang.I giggled when I realized that he looks cute and friendly.“Anong buong pangalan?”“Hindi ko

“Sino ang kasama mo, kung ganoon?” inis na tanong ko. Natigilan siya bago tumingin sa akin nang maayos. Damien looks so innocent that it breaks my heart whenever I remember that he cheated on me. “She's Architect Tanya Renales. Inihatid ko lang sa bahay nila dahil lasing na lasing,” aniya. I just nodded and acted as if I believe him. Hatid lang ba talaga, Damien? “Walang nangyari sa inyo?” “Wala, Sandra! Maniwala ka sa akin.” I nodded at his lies. I am sure that he just did it with her, or with someone else. Dahil sa pag-uusap namin sa telepono kahapon, alam ko ang ginagawa niya! “I believe you,” I lied. He hugged me tight. Gumanti rin ako ng yakap sa kaniya. Mas mahigpit na para bang pakakawalan ko na siya. “Sandra? Pwede ba akong manligaw?” tanong ni Damien. “M-Manligaw? Sa akin?” tanong ko. Bahagya siyang tumawa at saka tumango. “Kung papayag ka?”
