"Deanna, okay ka lang ba?"
"I-I'm j-just here."
"Deanna, may dugo."
"I-It's o-okay."
"Deanna, p-please stay awake." Jema slowly laid me on the floor. I could feel her trembling as she held the back of my neck and tried to stop my blood from flowing.
"Taas ang kamay!" The police came.
Lord, please help them. We need to get out of here.
"Sabing itaas ang kamay! Ibaba niyo ang baril!" Jema keeps crying while holding my head.
"Sachi, may mga pulis na. Wag kang matutulog."
"Ano kami aso para sumunod sa inyo. Kayo ang magbaba ng baril dahil na sa amin ang alas. Papuputukin ko ang bungo ng mga batang 'to kapag hindi niyo kami pinatakas!"
"Jemaaa!" I'm getting weaker but my eyes remained on Jema.
"Ano ba!" Jema hissed loudly when the man pulled her hair upright while aiming the gun at her head.
I wanted to move but my vision is already blurred.
"Bitawan niyo nga ko---ahhhh!" I cried when the man slapped Jema again.
How can they do that to a girl?
Hindi ko kayang panoorin 'to. This is so brutal.
"Oh God, save Jema please." I whispered under my breath.
"Ibaba niyo ang baril niyo kung hindi tutuluyan ko ang mga batang 'to!" A man approached me again with a knife.
"Anong pinaplano niyo? Wag niyo ng galawin si Deanna, she's already bleeding! Mga walanghiya kayo! You better stay right there."
"Manahimik ka bata! Baka gusto mong mauna!"
"Pakawalan niyo na ang mga bata at ibibigay namin lahat ng gusto niyo."
Nagpatuloy ang sagutan ng mga police at holdapers. Even Jema was already shouting and begging.
Hindi ko na talaga kaya. Kusa ng pumipikit ang mga mata ko. Sumusuko na ang katawan ko.
"Deanna! Stay awake please. Deannaaaa!" Lord, help us please.
I closed my eyes for a moment, searching for a little amount of strength but when I opened my eyes again, there's already chaos.
Sunod-sunod na putok ng mga baril, palitan at walang tigil. Kabi-kabilaang murahan at sigawan.
"Magpahinga ka na bata." I could no longer react when a man approached me and threatened to stab me.
Ikaw ng bahala, Lord.
I'm waiting for a knife to hit my body but I didn't feel anything instead I felt something heavy hovering on my body.
I opened my eyes and I saw Jema hugging me. There is blood flowing from her body.
"I-I'm just here, Sachi."
---
"Oh God! Thank you Lord!"
My head is aching.
Nasaan ako?
"Deanna, naririnig mo ba ako?" I slowly opened my eyes and I saw my Dad beside me.
