AMETHYST

Week has passed...

"Saph?" I heard Sayru's voice outside my dorm. Nakabalik na kami ng Pilipinas, Jeon Jungkook's case was closed. Still, nagiingat parin sila.

Hindi ako sumagot. I don't know why, I felt like my throat is dry.

"Lumabas ka naman dyan o? It's been a week, palagi ka nalang nakakulong sa kwarto mo. Are you okay?" tanong nito

Katulad ng kanina, hindi parin ako sumagot. Simula ng nailibing na si Exequiel palagi na akong nagkukulong sa dorm ko.

I heard her sighed. "Okay fine, but please remember na may mga tao pang nagaalala at nagaalaga sayo. Kami yon, Sapph. We're your family." pagkatapos nun ay narinig ko nalang syang paalis na.

It hurts.

It fucking hurts.

I can't face reality right now. Masyadong naging madali sa akin ang mga pangyayari, parang kanina lang ng makilala ko si Exequiel. But now...

I can't find his presence.

Tumulo na naman ang mga luha ko. God, when will my sufferings end?

Pinunasan ko iyon at tumayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa higaan, dumiretso ako sa banyo at tinignan ang mukha ko.

My eye bags are getting bigger. Wala akong pakealam, palagi akong nagpupuyat. Hindi din ako kumakain ng wasto. Pumayat din ako.

I can't sleep, I felt like going crazy dahil palagi kong nakikita si Exequiel sa kwarto ko. Telling me that everything would be okay.

"Tell me how? Kung wala ka na sa tabi ko, paano? You've been one of the most important person to me. And I.. I can't accept that I lose you.."

"Amethyst..."

Bigla akong napatingin sa salamin. I saw my reflection, but someone is at my back.

He's here..

"E-Exequiel..."

Ngumiti sya sakin. How I miss those smiles.

"It's okay, everything is going to be fine. Just face your friends, they care for you. At ayaw kong makita kang nahihirapan ng ganito. I know you, you can be more than this." sambit nito sakin

"But you're---"

"I am, I am gone. Pero kahit wala ako kaya mo namang mabuhay diba? Madami ka pang mission na haharapin, Amethyst. And I need you to be strong."

"Pero saan naman ako kukuha ng lakas?"

"Your friends are there for you. Hindi mo ba nakikita? How they break seing you like this? Mourning for my death? My death will be nothing if you'll stay weak. Para mo narn binalewala ang sakripisyong ginawa ko para lang mabuhay ka." I suddenly felt guilty.

Exequiel protected me, he protected me until he died. He died for me, for me to face things like this. To find his killer.

"I will, I will be strong. Strong enough to find your killer." sambit ko

I'm determined. Kaya kong hanapin ang pumatay sa kanya, the guy who caused his death. and the person who's behind this.

Ejii Wemley.

Alam kong may kinalaman ka dito. Wait for me, I'll hunt you till your last breath.

And after that, everything went black.
