16. E For Ego

Ysabel

"Where did you go? Bakit ngayon ka lang?"

"I'm gonna wash up first, brother. Can I?" Ngumiti ako sa kapatid ko. Kumunot ang noo nya at bahagyang sumimangot pero pinayagan din naman ako.

Habang nagbababad ako sa bath tub ay hindi ko maiwasang hindi isipin si Joshua. I'm gonna check on him later, anyway. Kahit sa labas nalang ng kwarto nya. I just need to make sure that he's okay. I was harsh on him and I didn't think of the possibilities that he'll be hell shock and surprised when I tell him everything.

Ngunit nagawa ko na, eh. Hindi ko naman na kayang bawiin iyon. Besides, he will eventually know everything. Pinaaga ko lang ang pagkaalam nya.

Nagkunot ako ng noo at mabilis nag suot ng bath robe nang may marinig akong kaluskos sa labas ng banyo ko. Nang lumabas ako ay nakita kong naroon si Jett at Thalia.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, mabilis nila akong binalingan.

"Brenna called me." Thalia uttered. Medyo nagulat ako dahil doon. Really? Nagtatawagan sila? Don't tell me they're that close?

"And?" Pinunasan ko ang buhok ko para matuyo na habang nakaupo sa kama.

"Nag aalala sya para kay Joshua Joaquin...what happened? Anong ginawa mo?" Pang aakusa nya sa akin. I chuckled and raise my two brows while I look at her.

"Wala akong ginawa." Simpleng sabi ko ngunit tinitigan lang nya ako. I rolled my eyes. "Fine. When I left last night, I saw him in the middle of the road. Hindi ko lang alam na si Joshua iyon dahil madilim na at umuulan. I was furious so I bumped him with full force, tumama sya sa windshield and he almost died. Halos wasak ang kanyang bungo at maraming baling buto sa kanyang katawan, internal bleeding..." I exaggerated the story.

How would I know such broken bones and internal bleeding, right?

"But you fed him your blood so that he'll survive?" Tanong nya. I nodded three times.

"He was badly injured so I needed to feed him my blood. Wala akong choice."

"And you didn't compell him to forget what just happened?" Sabat ni Jett.

"Bakit ko naman gagawin 'yon? He's a Joaquin. He will soon find out about the world he's into. Besides, he's under the witch's protection." I rolled my eyes.

"Dapat ay ginawan mo ng paraan para makalimutan nya—"

"Oh don't be such a silly. Malalaman at malalaman nya ang lahat ng ito. Pinaaga ko lang. What's your problem, people." Ismid ko at nag hand gesture na tumalikod sila dahil magbibihis ako. They did what I said. Hinarap ko ang aking dresser at kumuha ako ng shorts at simpleng t-shirt doon.

"Ysabel he's vulnerable. Hindi mo manlang ba isina-alang alang ang bagay na iyon bago mo sya gulatin? Nakayanan nga ni Brenna ang pang gugulat mo noon pero sa lagay ni Joshua ay mababaliw sya kapag hindi hinay hinay. You should take things one at a time." Thalia uttered.

Bakit? Ano na bang nangyari sa Joshua na iyon at ganito mang react ang dalawang ito? Did he commit suicide due to shock or something? I doubt!
