Chapter 23 : The chosen ones
Mandy
"Gising na yata siya."
"Liver, ikaw na ang lumapit. Tutal ikaw naman ang laging nakakapagpakalma sa best friend mo lalo na kapag sobrang napapraning 'yan."
"She gained so much pain enough. I think what she needs the most right now is you, her friends."
I feel like, I don't wanna open my eyes anymore. The atmosphere was just so calming that I could wish to stay here forever; no stress, no trials.
I could hear their words far away from me. Pakiramdam ko dahil sa lahat ng nangyari, gusto ko na lamang magpahinga at tumigil sa pakikipaglaban. If only I could see my mom right now, I would definitely hug her as tight as I can. Sana lang ay dumating na ang oras na makita ko siyang ulit.
Napasinghap ako nang maramdaman kong may nakatayo na sa harap ko kung saan ako nakahiga. Unti-unti kong iminulat ang mga mata ko at nakita ko na sa harapan ko si Liver at Ovary na parehong mugto ang mga mata. Their eyes made me realize how failure I am as their friend. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtingin lamang sa kanila, alam ko na ang kinahantungan ng desisyon ko.
"Is she awake?" pambungad na tanong ko na animo'y umaasa pa ring may magandang kinalabasan ang lahat.
At that moment, Ovary's tears suddenly dripped down for the nth time and I could no longer take the sadness anymore. I want to tell them everything's going to be okay but all I could do is smile.
"Shh, don't cry. Pancreas will gonna make it through. We don't have anything to worry," wika ko na lamang at saka inabot ang pisngi ni Ovary at sinubukang pawiin ang mga luhang pumapatak sa kaniyang mukha.
They were all there, standing behind the two of my beloved friends. Pinapanood lamang nila ang momentum naming magkakaibigan. Hindi ko inakala na sa sobrang kagustuhan ko na iligtas si Pancreas kaya pinilit kong dalhin siya sa ospital na ito, ako pala ang mangangailangan ng pahinga. Good thing the air conditioner here works fine. Sana lang talaga ay hindi na ulit magkaroon ng earthquake at matabunan na naman kami rito.
"Can we just turn back to our present time? Please tell me you already find ways for us to go back." I sound like I'm begging them already and I was a bit selfish knowing they also want the same but somehow, I feel like I just want to hear them saying we can already go back even if it's a lie.
"Mandy.." I could feel Liver's voice trembling so I closed my eyes and tried to neglect what I've said.
"Nevermind. I guess we should accept the fact that this is already our home. That way, I think we can be used to it, you know, the hunters, zombies, those weird werewolves, an enormous bird, and supernatural circumstances which tried so hard to break us all. Malas lang nila dahil hindi nila tayo kayang patumbahin. We are warriors, remember? We are here because we are the mightiest. We are the chosen ones. I guess that could be the bright side of the coin," sambit ko pa at saka dahan-dahang tumayo mula sa kamang hinihigaan at naglakad-lakad palabas ng kwarto.
