"Leri! Feleri Azari Fiery!" Ilang beses ko na tinawag ang pangalan niya pero ayaw niya akong lingunin. I managed to grab her left arm but she just hissed at me. Iwinaksi niya ang kamay ko't nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. 

"Feleri!" Malalaking hakbang ang tintahak nito patungo sa silid ni Freed. I called her name for heaven knows how many times but she wouldn't stop and listen. Marahas nitong hinawakan ang hamba ng pinto't pabalang itong binuksan. 

"How could you?! How could you kill our own mother, Freed?!" Pagpasok ko'y naabutan ko siyang hawak-hawak sa magkabilang balikat si Freed. Mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya rito't mariin niya itong niyugyog habang sinisigawan.

"Feleri!" I immediately gripped her arm and yanked her away from him. Nagpupumiglas ito sa hawak ko habang mangiyak-ngiyak na tinuturo ang nakababata naming kapatid. 

"She was our mother, Freed! We are her own blood and flesh! She's the reason why we're alive! She took care of us!" She blurted out, tears streaming down. Her cheeks are puffed red, eyes darting on him, accusing him of murdering our mother. 

When I look at our younger brother, he looks so lost like he was terribly out of words, and doesn't know what's going on. Pero sa kabila nI kng pagtataka sa mukha niya'y nag-uunahan din sa pagdaloy ang mga luha mula sa mata niya. 

"No matter how bad she is to other people she was a good mother to us! Wala siyang ginawa na ikakapahamak natin, Freed!" She was struggling from my grasp but I'm way stronger than her.

 I can't let her go. Sa oras na bitawan ko siya'y pakiramdam ko'y susugurin niya si Freed. I can understand her anger and frustrations, but I can't let her get devoured by her emotions. Not when she's gonna hurt our little brother. 

"M-mother d-died?" Gulat na may halong pagtatakang tanong nito. Muntikan na ito mabuwal mula sa kinatatayuan kung hindi ito nakahawak sa malapit na upuan. Kung saan-saan tumitingin ang mga mata nito't halatang hindi nito alam ang nangyayari.

"I-I..." Napasinghap ito't nanginginig na itinuro ang sarili. His mouth was parted open in shock, probably terrified of what he heard that he did.

 "...k-killed h-her?" Natahimik kami pareho. Nakatingin ito sa dalawang kamay niya't dahan-dahan itong umiling. When no one answered him he suddenly screamed. Napaupo ito sa sahig habang nakasiksik sa isang sulok ng silid. 

Nakahawak ang mga kamay niya sa ulo niya't walang pakundangang sumigaw nang sumigaw. He was sobbing, weeping even as he screams his lung out. He was shivering as he hugged himself. 

"N-no..." 

"I...I didn't..." 

"I-I...I couldn't p-possibly do i-it!" 

Marahas nitong ginulo ang buhok, kapagkuwan ay hinahampas-hampas niya ang ulo niya."W-wala akong naalala." He lift himself up and get on his knees as he continued to hit his head using his fist.
