Deathbed
"Nasaan si Rad?"
I was breathing heavily as I stepped into the frame. I was roaming my eyes to search for him. Hindi na mapigilang kabahan sa gitna ng kawalan.
I can see tons of police men interacting and uttering words I couldn't get. After I receive the news from Joshua. Agad kong sinabi sa kanila ni Dad lahat at hindi din nagtagal ay sumugod na kami sa prisinto.
"Oh my-"
Agad akong napatakbo ng maaninag ko ang bulto ni Rad sa loob. I gathered myself and rush towards the crowd. Maraming tao ang nakikisiksik dahilan para hindi ako makalusot. And with all my strength I made it inside by pushing them away. Wala ng pakealam kahit na muntik na akong matumba. I even gained some bruises but I didn't mind all of it. All I could think about was to get through it at gusto na lamang na makita si Rad.
"Tangina mo! Alam mong hindi sapat ang pagkabulok mo dito sa kulungan! Tangina hinding-hindi kita patatahimikin hanggang sa mapunta ka sa impyerno. I fucking swear Rubio. I'll fucking loath you to death!"
Halos mapamura naman ako ng madatnan ko si Rad na sinusuntok si Cloyd. The police were trying to stop him but none of them can't. Nakaposas ng nakadapa sa harap niya si Cloyd. He couldn't move an inch. If I were only an easy person who can show sympathy towards him. I would pity him so much.
Pero dahil alam kong isa siyang kriminal. I would never spend even a bit of sympathy towards him. He don't deserve them.
I saw that Rad was now kicking and punching him on the floor. Nakita ko din ang dugo sa kanyang damit. His white shirt seems to be tainted in red. It's more promintent than the usual color of its shirt.
May mga galos at pasa na din sa kanyang katawan at gumugulo na din ang kanyang buhok dahil sa nangyari. I couldn't think right anymore but to worry.
"Rad!"
Agad akong humagulgol sa iyak ng muli niyang sinuntok si Cloyd sa harapan mismo ng mga pulis. Nilayo siya ng ilan pero hindi pa din siya nagpatinag. I went near him to help and held for his bleeding arms.
"Please... Tama na," I pleaded.
Nanginig na ito sa galit at sinamaan ng tingin ang ngumingiti pang si Cloyd. He was covered with his own blood now yet he get to smile mischievously amidst the situation.
And that proves us right that he's really an evil.
"I already live in hell Sullivan. Kung mamamatay man ako dito at mapupunta sa impyerno. Then I guess I have to deal with it on seeing your evil father again in Hell-"
"Fuck you!"
Rad didn't make him finish his sentence and punched him again with all he's got. Ngayon ay nakadagan na siya at ilang malulutong na mura pa ang lumabas sa kanyang labi. While Cloyd remains lifeless with the chain against his hands.
Bago pa man muling sumugod si Rad. The whole room were now filled by the loud whistle that the police were using to stop them. Ngayon ay halos mapaatras na ako sa ginawang pagpipigil ng nga pulis sa kanya.
Para din akong natutup sa kinatatayuan lalo na nung makita ko ang paglandas ng luha mula sa mga mata ni Rad. He was breathing heavily as he was forced to stop. That despite how bloody he looks right now. The tears were still evident and enough to be seen by my own eyes.
Hindi ko na din namalayan na tuluyan na palang nakalayo ang dalawa sa isa't-isa. Rad was still catching his own breath. Looking with so much hatred towards Cloyd.
Nanghihina itong umaatras at umiling. With his final glance he immediately went out of the frame and walk towards the door.
"Rad!"
