-VENT-

"Doc, hindi ko na kaya lokohin pa si Iyah!" pagmamakaawa ko kay Doc Vlad, I am starting to feel like a fool.

"You agreed to this Vent! Ngayon ka pa ba susuko ng nasasanay na siyang maging independent?" pagpilit naman ni Doc Vlad. His voice was firm and with authority.

"Oo! I agreed to your stupid plan! Pero, I didn't expect her to feel so much pain!" nanginginig ang mga kamay ko sa galit.

I have witnessed how she cried so much ng malaman niyang I lost some of my memories of her. Nasasaktan din akong makita siyang nahihirapan at alam kong mas nasasaktan siyang nakikita akong kasama si Charm.

"Hindi p'wede Vent! sisirain mo lang ang Project na matagal ng nakaplano!" He gave me a very intimidating glance. Halata mong galit na galit siya sa mga sinasabi ko ngayon.

"Hello Vent" bati sa akin ni Doc Vlad pagpasok ko sa kan'yang office. Mukha siyang may balak dahil naamoy ko nanaman ang amoy na nalanghap ko sa kan'ya dati. Something's fishy and I need to know what's behind that smell.

"Hello Doc" pabalik kong bati. Itinuro niya ang upuan sa kan'yang tabi at agad naman akong umupo dito. He has a very weird smile on his face and it's creeping me out.

"I have a preposition for you..." he was turning his swivel chair side to side while his fingers linger to each other.

"And what might that be?" deretchong sagot ko sa kan'ya.

"It's about curing Iyah" biglang lumiwanag ang mukha ko. If it's for Iyah, I am willing to comply to anything. Alam kong hirap na hirap na siya kaya maybe it's time for her to be free.

May inabot sa akin si Doc Vlad na isang folder na naka label na Project VXC meaning Vent X Chaliyah. I gave him a curious look at muli naman itong nagsalita.

"You see Vent, your blood was the answer all along, pero kailangan maextract ito in a natural manner" hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi ni Doc Vlad. Tumayo ito at marahal na lumapit sa akin.

"It has to come out from your nose, Hindi ko rin alam pero it has a chemical reaction to Iyah's well-being. Noong pumunta ka dito sa office, sinabi sa akin ni AMOR na iba ang amoy ng dugo mo kaya siya na trigger. So, I tested your blood, and it was like an answered prayer."

Medyo kumunot 'yong noo ko, paano naman daw nila ieextract 'yong dugo ko at lalabas sa ilong? Nosebleed? ito agad ang naisip kong sagot. Ngumiti naman si Doc Vlad sa pagbabago ng facial expression ko.

"Tama ka Vent! kailangan kang mag Nosebleed. This will be the last ingredient to the serum we are making but we need a lot to capture all the elements for this to work" kinabahan nanaman ako. Paano ako magnonosebleed? The only time na nagnosebleed ako was when...

"Tama ka ulit Vent! you have to be surrounded by a lot of people for this to work. Alam kong malakas ang pang amoy mo and with the lurking scents of different people, this will cause you to bleed from your nose."

"Pero the serum will not work unless there would be a stress trigger after, and the most stressful trigger for Iyah is a broken heart" ani Doc Vlad.

"Teka! Teka! I don't want to hurt her Doc!" pinatigil ko siya sa kan'yang sinasabi ng sabihin niyang Iyah needs to experience a broken heart.

"Hindi literal na broken heart Vent, heartbroken... meaning you will trigger her. And look who I found to help you with that" pumasok sa pintuan and isang babaeng naka yellow pants at isang plain black na crop top. You can see her perfect hourglass shape and long hair.
