Max's

I heard a loud gun shot. I saw blood.

Biglang bumigat ang batang babaeng yakap ko.

Biglang lumuwag ang pagkakayakap nya sakin.

Blood. There's blood everywhere. Sa mga bulaklak. Sa kamay ko. Sa Pisngi ko.

"G-Gale?" - I tried to call her hoping she'll answered me back but, she didn't.

I don't know what to feel. Marahas akong nagmasid at naghanap ng pwedeng taong bumaril sakanya but, I saw nothing.

Napaupo nalang ako habang yakap sya. Ang batang kanina'y kausap ko lang. And now she's sleeping, and not breathing anymore.

" Maxine!" - I heard a voice calling for my name. Tiningnan ko kung sino. And it is Cav habang nasa likod nya si Jake and Ledo. They're running at me and Gale.

"W-What happened?!" - Jake asked in disbelief

Hindi ako nakasagot dahil yun din ang tanong ko sa isip ko. What happened? What just happened?!

Tumingin ako sa natutulog na si Gale. I told you I'm going to protect you, right? But what happened? I failed to do it. I'm..

"I-I'm sorry.." - I whispered

And then nakaramdam nalang ako bigla ng pagpatak mula sa itaas. Hanggang sa dumami at lumakas ang bawat pagpatak. It's raining. The heaven's crying.

Ilang minuto pa'y itinayo na ko ni Ledo. Ang mga sumunod na nangyari? Ewan ko na. I felt like I was floating in the air. My mind and consciousness was floating in the air. Hindi ko na maalala kung anong nangyari. Ilang oras din ang lumipas ng mapagtanto kong nasa kwarto na pala ko.

I'm standing before the window. Watching how rain pours from above. Nakatulala. I don't even bother myself to speak. Pakiramdam ko, wala ako sa mood. Sobra.

"Maxine." - I heard someone called my name. A familiar voice. Pero hindi ko sya nilingon. I don't want to move.

"Hey." - he said then bigla akong nakaramdam ng yakap mula sa likod. I can feel his warmth.

" Cav." - I called his name

"Mm?" - saad nya habang nakapatong yung baba nya sa balikat ko

"I failed again. I.. I failed to protect her." - I said

Mas humigpit yung yakap nya. Then I remembered Gale. She hugged me tight as how Cav hug me right now.

"Stop blaming yourself. You didn't failed, Max. Dahil kung alam mong mangyayari yun, alam kong gagawin mo ang lahat just to protect her. But we doesn't have any idea na mangyayari yun. So nobody's at fault. Neither you." - Cav
