AKI's POV
I'm worried about my sister. Takot na takot siya.
Iniwan muna kami nina Sam para makausap ko ng sarilinan ang kapatid ko.
"Tell me what happened, please?"
Kailangan kong malaman kung ano ang nangyari sa kanya, sa kanila nina Mama at kung bakit wala dito sina Mama.
"K-Kuya... Mama said that I should hide... H-Huwag daw akong lumabas sa pinagtataguan ko hangga't hindi nila sinasabi... I waited them for so long... And that's when I lose my consciousness..."
"Hindi ka na nila napuntahan? Bakit malinis ang bahay? Please Sachi. Tell me the whole story."
FLASHBACK (SACHI's POV)
This is another boring morning. Haaaayyy. I'm stock here in our house because I got sick. Nakakamiss din ang pumasok sa school. Wala kasi akong makausap dito. Si Kuya, nasa school na, si Mama at Papa nasa labas dahil may kausap silang bisita. I'm bored na talaga!
I decided to go back to sleep when I heard someone shouting and then gun shots outside, I think. Lumabas ako sa room ko and nagpunta sa living room. There, naabutan ko si Mama na umiiyak.
"Ma, what's wrong? What is happening outside?"
"Sachi, just go back to your room. Please hide. Don't go out until I call you. You understand baby?"
"But Ma..."
"No buts Sachi. Go back to your room and hide. And please, just keep quiet."
"Where are you going? Where is Papa?"
"I will call your Dad, okay? Now, go to your room. We will just call you if we're done. I love you baby."
"I love you Mama. I will wait for you."
I go to my room after that. I can still hear gun shots and screaming of people. I decided not to lock my door so that my parents can go inside and then I decided to hide in my big cabinet.
I just kept quiet like Mama told me.
I waited them for hours, but no one calls me.
Since saradong-sarado ang cabinet na ito, nahihirapan na kong huminga. Until, all I can see is black.
And when I woke up, si Kuya kaagad ang nakita ko.
END OF FLASHBACK (BACK TO AKI's POV)
Nakakainis! Kung hindi pa pala kami nagpunta dito, baka hindi ko na naabutang buhay ang kapatid.
"K-Kuya... I don't know where Mama and Papa are."
"Don't worry, we will find them. Tara na sa kusina, kumain ka muna. You need to fix yourself too, aalis tayo dito bukas."

"Anong nangyari? Alam mo na ba?"-Sam
"Oo. Pinagtago raw sya nina Mama. Na-suffocate sa loob ng cabinet kaya nawalan ng malay."
"Mabuti na lang talaga at pumunta tayo dito. Haaaahhh!!!! Anim na tayo. Sana may dumagdag pa para astig di'ba? Ang cool no'n! Para tayong nasa isang game!"-James
"Stop it James. Huwag mong gawing biro ang nangyayari sa atin ngayon. And, hindi ka ba nag-aalala? Baka pagdating natin sa inyo, wala rin ang magulang mo."-Sam
