-an apparent misfortune that eventually has good results.

The main character is here!

"Sherlock!" I called his name.

Susulpot talaga ang bida kapag may pangyayari sa storya- but then it hit me. Why he's really here.

This Jerk! He's still following me!

Sinimulan niyang pigilan ang lalaking umaatake. Hindi nalalayo ang tangkad nila, mas matangkad nang kaunti si Sherlock. Pero mas malaki naman ang katawan ng lalaki.

"Lady Harlotte, please check the madam!" While fighting, Sherlock still managed to talk back. Agad akong natauhan sa sinabi niya at nawala kaagad sa kanila ang atensyon ko.

Nalipat ang tingin ko sa babaeng katapat ko lang at nakahilata sa lapag. I immediately went towards her. I'm breathing heavily, my heart is beating so fast. I'm panicking.

My thoughts are fighting, trying to think while having a panic attack at the same time.

Harlotte! Harlotte! Fix yourself!

"O-Okay, okay, madam, please stay with me!" I held her down.

"What's taking you so long?-"

Agad na naagaw ang atensyon ko nang may sumulpot na babae papalapit sa amin. Another actress, I think. She's wearing a costume. Even with her face full of make up, I can fully see how her face became pale and her expression change.

The look of horror on her face as soon as she saw me and the woman lying down on her own blood.

"AHHHH!!!" Her voice filled the small hallway we're in.

"Madam!"

"W-WHAT ARE YOU-" She looks so frighten and about to run when I raised my voice.

"MADAM!" She stopped, eyes widened, looking at me.

"PLEASE! CALL A DOCTOR AND THE AUTHORITIES! NOW!"

She looks like she still can't comprehend what's happening at the moment, but she still slowly nodded. 

"PLEASE! HURRY UP! SHE NEEDS HELP IMMEDIATELY!" 

She's still panicking, but she quickly followed me. Muling bumalik ang atensyon ko sa babaeng tinutulungan ko.

Okay, relax. Think, think about what you've learned during your college days. I'm still breathing heavily, but my mind is starting to clear up.

"Okay, madam, breathe in, breathe out. Breathe with me." I gently took her hands away from her stomach where the blood is coming out. Madalian kong tinanggal ang suot-suot kong coat at pinatong ito sa saksak.

Gently apply pressure to the wound. . .

Binalik ko ang dalawang kamay niya sa taas ng coat. "Please hold this for a second," I said.

Nagmamadali kong sunod na tinanggal ang dalawang sapatos ko. Mabilis ko ring kinuha ang sapatos na suot-suot ng babae, pinagpatong-patong ko itong apat at inangat ang paa niya rito. 

Lift their legs higher than their heart to increase blood flow. . .

Maigi kong inalala ang mga first aid na natutuhan ko para sa mga sitwasyon na ganito. I really didn't expect that this will happen to me in real life, but I hope what I'm doing is right.

After raising her legs, I went back to putting pressure on her stomach. "Please stay with me, madam! Help is coming! Don't lose your consciousness! Help is on the way!"
