VENGEANCE

TWENTY-NINE

Chapter 29
Elixxir's Point Of View

The school year ended at ilang linggo na rin ang lumipas mula ng mawalan ng malay si Uhna. Ilang linggo nalang din ay tutungtong na kami ng grade 12.

Uhna is still unconscious and still has no sign of waking up. But atleast, I am glad she is still fighting and is not giving her life up.

Hindi na rin naituloy pa ang kaso ng murder at isinarado na iyon bilang attempted suicide.

They can't find enough evidence to prove that one of us really tried to kill her.

After the door opens and I started walking going to the rooftop of the hospital we own, I realized that I am not the only person here.

There is someone standing on the edge of the rooftop. She don't look like a patient in here, maybe a relative?

Kagagaling ko lang sa kwarto ni Uhna para bisitahin siya. And everytime I do that, I could feel anger, sadness, and fear rising inside me.

I became anxious and most of the time I couldn't sleep after saw her lying unconsciously.

Maybe.... because of guilt?

That is also why I started reading books again and detached myself from the real world.

It's my only way to scape reality. Because my reality is hell-like.

I remain standing meters away from her as I watch what she is doing.

She bow her head and I can hear her sobbing.

Her long and wavy hair is being blown away by the strong winds. She is wearing dark blue shirt and a black jeans.

And it took some time for me to realize that she is planning to jump off the building.

Kasabay ng pagbagsak ng libro at inumin na hawak ko sa sahig ay ang mabilis kong pagtakbo palapit sa kaniya. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya para piglan siya sa binabalak n gawin.

Sa sumunod na segundo rin ay humarap siya sa akin.

Hindi ko ginawang hilain siya pababa dahil sa kakaibang pakiramdam na namuo sa dibdib ko matapos kong makita ang namumugto niyang mga mata.

Ilang oras na kaya siyang umiiyak dito?

"What do you think are you doing?"

I still managed to ask that question with this unexplainable feeling inside me.

That is what the first question I had in my mind.

Walang emosyon ang basa niyang mga mata nang magtama ang mga paningin namin.

"I could ask the same for you."

She said as her eyes went down on my hand that is holding her.

They are puffy and cute, but scary at the same time.

But can't she see? I am trying to save her!

"I'm stopping you from jumping off the hospital building."

Her eyes remained blank. Emotionless. I couldn't read anything in it.

"Just now, you are trying to jump right?"

I dont know but I get this feeling. It is mixed feelings of anger, anxiety, and worry.

For a stranger I don't know at that.

"How could you give up on your life like this?"

I didn't realized I am raising my voice at her.

I feel so terrible.
