It was blurry. I-I-I don't know what exactly happened..
------------------
"Everyone is strongly required to stay indoors, again everyone is strongly required to stay indoors" anunsiyo ng radio, the TV was dead 15 minutes ago.
"Ray, lock the windows I'll lock the doors, honey get the kids to the underground room" sabi ni mama, my dad immediately took Eric and Ethan papunta sa underground room.
I was shaking habang sinasara ko ang mga bintana sa first floor, pupunta sana ako sa second floor pero pinigilan ako ni papa.
"Ako na, pumonta ka na dun may kukunin lang kami ng mama mo" sabi ni papa while holding my shaking shoulders.
"Ray, whatever you do, never go outside unless you hear this whistle okay?" sabi ni mama sabay pakita ng gold whistle, that whistle has a weird noise and I already heard it before so I just nodded.
"Take this, use this pag kailangan na kailangan mo cause you can only use this once" I again nodded
"I love you, please take care of your brothers" she said sabay alis sa bahay
"W-wait" I said softly but it didn't stop them, napapikit nalang ako ng biglang may sumabog.
I didn't know what to do. I stood there in shock, I paused for 10 seconds before my senses got back ng may marinig akong pagsabog. It was like my body knew what to do automatically at agad akong tumakbo papunta sa underground.
I heard shattered things pero di na ako tumingin pa sa likod. I ran as fast as I could hanggang na nadulas ako dahil sa tubig na nasa tiles. I tried to stand up straight kaso sumasakit ang kanang paa ko.
The noises got closer and closer so I tried running using one foot. It got closer and closer until I heard a nearby furniture being shattered. Another explosion and this time tumilapon na ako.
I was still conscious but my whole body is shaking but I managed to stand at tumakbo papunta doon sa pinto which is placed on the last floor of the house.
"Eric open the door!!!" I screamed
"Ethan! Bilisan niyo!!" nang makita ko ang pagbukas agad akong pumasok at sinara ang pinto.
*Inhale Exhale*
"Where's mom?" Ethan
"And dad?" Eric
I looked at my brothers habang hinahabol pa ang hininga ko.
"I don't know too, but I'm sure they will be back" they look scared, one of them swallowed his saliva, I hugged them both kasi ramdam ko ang takot nila, even me, but I'm the oldest and I need to take care of both of them kagaya ng sabi nila mama.
I wish they're okay.
The underground room is quite big kaya nakakapaglaro ang dalawa, they're still 5 after all. *sigh* I still can't imagine what just happened, and hirap e sink in sa utak ko. We were just having a normal day, I was just watching TV, the boys are playing, mom's cooking ng biglang pumasok si papa sa bahay and shouted "DUCK!" after that an explosion was heard.
"Ate Ray, I'm hungry" Eric
"Me too" Ethan
"Can you give me the wheelchair please" at nag unahan naman sila. I looked at my bandaged foot, this will be fine soon. I have wounds on my legs, lips, and arm but it's not that bad, most of em are like scratches.
Umopo ako sa wheelchair and went to the kitchen to prepare some food. Wow, we are really ready huh? Di ko mapigilang isipin na alam na ng parents namin na mangyayari ang lahat ng to, kasi after sumigaw si papa tinanong ni mama kung anong nangyayari and all he answered was "They're here"
Ang tagal nila, what if they're already--no, what am I thinking? Argh, get yourself together Ray.

Day 2. I'm still listening to the radio baka may balita na, but all I can hear is the guy announcing repeatedly to stay indoors. I also used the walkie talkie to know if there's something but all I can hear is the buzzing sound.
"Boys, go to sleep"
"But we're not sleepy"
"What? Why? It's already pass your bedtime"
"I'm scared" Ethan
"Me too" Eric
*sigh* "Dali pumonta kayo sa higaan niyo tatabihan ko kayo" agad naman silang pumonta, I followed then since maayos na ang paa ko
Nasa gitna nila akong dalawa.
"Are you asleep?" sabi ko kasi sampung minuto na ang lumipas
"No" sabay nilang sabi which made me giggle.
"Sing for us" Ethan
"Yeah" Eric
"You know I don't sing"
"But you have a nice voice" Eric
"Aysus, mambobola, di niyo ako mauuto kaya matulog na kayo" aalis na sana ako pero biglang nagsalita ang isa sa kanila.
"Mama used to sing to us when we are afraid" nakadungong sabi ni Ethan. I thought for a second, I'm sure ipipilit nila yun, nag-isip ako kung anong kanta ang kakantahin ko, then I remembered one song.
"With the sorrow in our hearts, we can play, and I look up to you" they both closed their eyes as I was singing the song in a lullaby "When we hear different sounds than the heartless do, wakeful at night looking everywhere for you, why do I look up to you?"
"With the sorrow in our hearts we can sing, and play our lonely song, to the people of the world who struggled moving on, wakeful at night wishing they could sing along, I know why I look up to you"
And when I looked at them, they are already asleep. Mkay.
Pumonta na ako sa kama ko and rested, kahit nakahiga na ako di parin ako makatulog, ang daming what if's ang dumadaloy sa utak ko I wish I could just shake it off. The feeling of fear started to crawl at wala akong nagawa kundi umiyak ng tahimik, shoot I'm just 19, I'm not ready for all of these at sa-sa mga mangyayari pa.
I don't wanna know what will happen next, I'll just hope that it would be bearable.

DAY 3
