Worst Side to Hide

Chapter 12 Cries and Regret

Young miss!

Young miss!!

"Young miss!!" Napakurap ako ng may yumugyog sakin. "We need to go."

Dahil sa sinabi nya ay mabilis na inikot ko pabalik ang sasakyan at tinapakan ang accelerator.

"I'm sorry young miss." Rinig kong sabi ni Irish. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa manibela.

"How the fuck did that happened Irish? I left him in your care. Paano kayo nasalisihan?" Hindi kona napigilang sumigaw.

Sari sari ang nararamdaman kong emosyon ngayon ngunit takot ang nangingibabaw sa mga ito.

"I'm sorry young miss. I neglected my duty."

Napamura ako.

"God damn it! I don't want to hear your fucking sorry Irish! Where were you when that happened?"

"I... i went out to check the premises."

"And Dalia?"

"Inutusan syang bumili sa convenience store." Marahas akong napabuntong hininga.

"Then you should have gone home first before you fucking let her leave! Why are we doing all of this huh Irish? It is to protect zendrix right? To protect him pero tangina anong nangyari?!"

Parang gusto ko nalang magwala.

"Young miss calm down." Sabi ni Allison.

"Don't tell me to fucking calm down Allison. Pray that nothing bad will happen to my brother Irish dahil kung hindi... pasensyahan nalang tayo." Inis na pinatay ko ang tawag at binilisan pa lalo ang patakbo ng sasakyan.

Nang makarating kami ay agad akong bumaba.

"Zendrix!!"

Hindi ko pinansin ang bahay namin na naglalagablab na sa apoy at tatakbo na sana patungo dito ngunit hinarang ako nina Harrison.

"Young miss."

"Rei, stop. You can't go in there."

"No!!! Stay out of my way Harrison. Drix is in there. I need to get him."

I have to save him.

"And then what? You're not fireproof Rei. You'll just put yourself in danger."

"I don't care!!" Sigaw ko. "Wala akong pakealam kung delikado pa yan o hindi. Nandoon ang kapatid ko Harrison." Hindi kona rin napigilan ang pagtulo nang luha ko. "I can't lose him Harrison.. I can't..."

Sya nalang ang natitira sa akin..

"Young miss, kumalma ka muna. Tama si Young master Harrison. Malaki na ang apoy. Delikado na kung susugod kapa papasok."

"My brother is in there Maliah." Humihikbing turan ko. "I can't stay here and do nothing."

Mom asked me to protect him... We were only... We were only starting to be okay again...

I failed.....

"Let me go!!" Pilit akong kumakawala sa kanila ngunit ayaw nila akong bitawan.

"We can't do that."

"I'm sorry Young miss."

No...

I can't accept this...

I'm not ready to lose him.. please, if there is really a god up there, please don't take him from me yet.. we still haven't.. we still haven't talk properly, we still got many things to do....
