DOLLHOUSE

Dollhouse 064

I wanna get drunk too. I can't handle this anymore. Sana lasing na lang ako ngayon tapos magigising na lang ako sa Andromeda. Sana bangungot na lang 'to.

"That was cute. Let's continue the game!" natatawang anunsyo ng jokers.

"I'm not in the mood to play yet. Pwedeng si Babe na lang mauna?" inis na sabi ni Gunner saka muling tinungga ang wine.

"Kung kayo palang tatlo ang pumatay, bakit hindi kayo umamin noong unang araw pa lang?" tanong bigla ni Babe sa'min habang naiyak.

Maski si Alpha ay natawa bigla at napailing.

Inis na binato ni Gunner ang hawak na bote. Tumama iyon nang malakas sa dingding at nabasag.

"Ako nagsabi sa kanila na kahit anong mangyari hindi sila pwede magsalita. Masaya ka na?" sagot ni Gunner.

"Pero bakit?! Sila Flame, Hera, Dorothy, Kuya Ichi---"

"No. Stop. Don't say their names. Don't act like you care because you don't, Babe. You even tried to kill Flame yesterday. Don't fucking dare say her name ever again," namumula ang mukha ni Gunner sa galit.

"Hellooooo. Let's play!" yaya ng jokers.

Gunner continued. "You made me feel bad. You made me hate myself. Ilang ulit mo kong pinagmukhang gago na handang maghantay sa 'yo. Ilang ulit mo kong pinagtulakan palayo sa tuwing sasamahan kita."

Tinuro kami ni Gunner habang nakatitig siya sa mata ng dating kasintahan. "Don't act innocent. You made us feel bad, Babe. You made us blame ourselves. Ilang ulit mo sa'min pinamukha at pinaramdam na hindi 'yon mangyayari kung sinamahan ka namin."

Namumula siyang lumapit kay Babe. Si Babe naman ay iyak lang nang iyak.

"Hindi ko alam kung saan ako nagkulang noong akala ko sinaktan ka talaga. Sinisi ko sarili ko sa lahat ng nangyari. Sinisi rin ako ng lahat dahil lagi mo kong ginagawang rason para sa kasinungalingan mo. Kasinungalingan na mahal mo 'ko at para sa 'kin ang ginawa mo. Minahal kita nang totoo pero bakit mo ko ginanito, Babe?"

"Heyyyy. Let's play!" yaya ng jokers.

"Now go fucking play alone because we are done with your lies." muling umupo si Gunner sa upuan at kumuha ng bagong bote saka uminom.

"Queen, let's play." yaya ng jokers kay Babe.

"You never listened to me," naiiyak na sabi ni Babe habang tinitingnan kaming tatlo.

"We did. We focused too much on you but all you did was lie to us," irita kong sabi saka umupo na lang sa upuan.

Nagkatinginan si Alpha at Babe.

"Alpha, please."

Alpha smiled bitterly.

"Babe, I never lied about how I cared for you. You were like a younger sister to me since then. I protected you with all my heart and it was not an act nor a facade. Maybe I was too blind like what they said. But it's okay. Please, always remember that we cared. Trust me, Decagon did. We loved and cared so much to the extent that we ended up killing someone by mistake. We loved you, Babe. We really did."

"Let's play!" yaya ng jokers.

"Play the game, Babe." Alpha ordered and sat next to me. "It's up to you. You can save us both or let the other pair win. It's all up to you now."

"I will save you..." Babe replied.

Inabutan ako ng wine ni Steel, ininom ko agad. Napapikit ako nang mariin. She doesn't care about me or Gunner. It was pretty obvious. She will stick with her words until the end, I guess. She will save him. Just him.
