Mabilis akong pumasok sa loob ng Emergency Room at dumiretso sa Nurse’s Station.
“Excuse me, nurse!” I called attention to the nurse who was currently talking on the phone.
“Yes, ma’am?” she asked me after she hung up the phone.
“I wanna know if you have patient name Bentley Gibbs?”
“Wait a minute, ma’am.” Ibinuklat niya ang papel na nasa folder at tiningnan iyon.
“Room 103.”
Mabilis kong tinahak ang pasilyo patungo sa nasabing room.
Tanaw ko ang mga Section Gang na nakaupo sa waiting area, samantalang nakatayo naman ang mga iba.
Lumapit ako sa kinaroroonan nila habang nakapamulsa. My eyes remained focused on them.
Harrison was the first to notice me, he was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. He nudged his elbow to Surge who was constantly headbanging his head while closing his eyes as if listening to music on his headphone.
Iritadong tinanggal ni Surge ang headphone sabay baling ng masama kay Harrison. Sininghalan niya ito kaya napatingin sa kanila ang mga kasama.
Harrisonʼs face remained serious looking directly at me. Thatʼs why everyone turned to me. Bakas sa kanilang mukha ang pagtataka nang makita ako.
Sinalubong ako ni Archard. “What are you doing here?” he stopped in front of me, wearing a blank expression.
Magsasalita na sana ako ngunit gan’on na lang ang gulat ko nang mabilis akong nilapitan ni Braxton at hinawakan niya ako nang mahigpit sa magkabilang braso. Nanlilisik ang kanyang mga mata na para bang malaki ang atraso ko sa kanya.
Whatʼs his problem?
“What did you do to my brother?” mahinahon ngunit nagtitimpi ng galit, I could feel the trembling of his hand clinging to my arm. Nanginginig siya sa sobrang galit!
Kumunot ang aking noo. “What are you talking about?”
Pilit kong iniwaksi ang kamay niyang nasa aking braso ngunit mas lalo niya itong hinihigpitan.
“Stop acting! We know you are the reason why heʼs there!” he accused me.
I shook my head. “Wala akong kinalaman sa nangyari,” mabilis kong tugon.
“Liar!” he shouted loudly at my face ngunit hindi man lang ako natinag. Diniinan pa niya lalo ang pagkahawak sa braso ko kaya nakaramdam ako ng galit dahil pakiramdam ko bumabaon ang mga kuko niya sa balat ko.
“Dude, stop it!”
Maddox pulled him away but he didnʼt even bother to look at him. Nanatili siyang nakatingin sa akin ng masama.
I forced my two arms to move. Nagtagumpay naman ako dahil napabitiw siya sa akin.
“Ano ba’ng gusto mong palabasin, ha?!” asik ko sa kanya.
“You were with him yesterday, so itʼs impossible that you donʼt know anything!”
Kailangan kong maging kalmado. Hindi ko dapat sinasabayan ang galit niya ngayon.
