*Awwwwwooooooooooooooo*
"Urgh!!! Sh*t lang!!!" bulalas ko.
Hindi ko alam kung totoo ba yung narinig kong 'yun or gawa-gawa lang ng utak ko. But one thing is for sure, nababagot na ako sa kahihintay sa bwiset na lalaking yun.
Kanina pa niya ako iniwan dito, kung tama ang estimation ko, maybe... 15 minutes!
Yes! 15 minutes!! And right now, matagal na para sa akin yun!!
Ikaw kaya ang iwan sa ganitong situation?
Yung nasa isa kang madilim na lugar without knowing the right way para makalabas plus yung factor na nasprain pa yung ankle mo, tignan ko lang kung hindi ka mafrustrate like what I am feeling right now!
"I won't leave you.. I'm going back.. I promise.."
Geez.
'Yun na naman yung mga salitang yun. Until now, nage-echo pa rin sa utak ko yung sinabi niyang iyon.
And the weirder part is that, bakit ba hindi pa rin ako makamove-on?
Then suddenly, I felt my body rose up from the floor.
Binibitbit na ba ako ng multo or may mangkukulam ba sa paligid at ginagamitan na niya ako ng black magic right now? O______o???
OH-EM!! Ano ba itong iniisip ko?!!! >____<
Dahil na rin siguro sa kawindangan ko at curiousity kung sino ba yung nagbuhat sa akin, I tried to struggle at first. Until,
"Ano bang gusto mong mangyari ha?" at last, he talked!
"Luke?" so it was him.
"Do you want to leave or stay in here? Choose between the two."
"Tcch. Bakit ba ang hilig mong pinapapili ako between two choices when in fact obvious naman kung ano ang pi---"
"Then let me carry you then. Mukha kang isdang bagong huli sa dagat sa sobra mong pagpapapalag eh." then he started walking.
Nahiya naman ako sa sinabi niyang yun so instead of continuing to my so-called "struggle", I choose to stay still at hayaan na lang siya kung saan man niya ako dalhin. Anyways, hindi naman siya manyak like the other two guys na kabarkada niya. Siguro naman, hindi niya ako dadalhin kung saan lang. Hmmp.
Wala pa rin akong nakikita. All is black. Ni kahit konting liwanag ay wala akong naaaninag. Pakiramdam ko nga, mas lalo pang dumilim kesa sa kanina yung paligid. Kung wala lang siguro siya dito sa tabi ko, marahil kanina pa talaga ako gumapang sa sobrang desperada kong makaalis sa lugar na ito.
"Hey." I called him. "Why did you come back?" he did not talk. "Uy.. buhay ka pa ba?"
"Simply because I promised you that one thing. I told you that I'm going back, right? So I returned.. Hindi kita iniwan. In some ways, alam mo naman siguro kung bakit hindi ko kayang gawin yun, di ba?"
Actually, no. Hindi ko nga alam kung ano bang nangyayari at kung makapagsalita siya ay napakalalim ng kanyang pinaghuhugutan. But bahhh! Who cares? Basta nandito siya at binalikan niya ako. At dahil sa sinabi niya, mas confirm ko na ngang siya yung kasama ko from the beginning. Nothing more, nothing less. Period.

Jaiden's POV
After 3426272828635381010 years, SA WAKAS! Nahanap ko rin ang daan-palabas.
"Sir Jaiden!" I lifted up my head to see who called me, and soon, I found out that it was Ashlei.
"Hey!" I answered back habang palapit ako sa kanya. "Nandito na pala kayo. (^^, )" while still catching up my breath.
"May nangyari bang masama sa loob?" pagtataka niya, while looking at me suspiciously.
"Huh? W---what do you mean? At saka ano bang klaseng tingin yan?" I jokingly said. "Parang gusto mo na akong kainin eh!" seriously. Kung makatingin kasi itong si Ashlei e from head to toe.
"E kasi sir, mukha kang basang-sisiw." ouch. >____<
"O-o na!! O-o na!! Kasalanan ko bang mainit ang temperatura sa loob?" honestly, super init talaga sa loob nung bahay na yun. I swear, humanda talaga sa akin mamaya si Dad. Errr...
"Okay-okay!! Then what happened to your shirt then?" looking at the sleeves of my shirt.
"Ahh.. eeh.. sa dilim ba naman sa loob, makikita ko pa ba ang daan?! Sumabit lang yan earlier. Not a big deal." pagkatapos ay inalis ko na yung damit ko sa kanyang paningin to avoid further questions and discussions.
"I see.. then sir, how about your partner?" hmm. "Nasaan na yung partner mo?"
O_________O????
Huh?
"Sir!" she called out once more.
Uh... yeah.
Right.
My partner.
"Well---" but before I can answer her questions, we were all surprised to the next thing that she said.
"Sir Luke!!! Lucille!!!" she shouted.
Agad akong napalingon while Ashlei, and the others, rushed up to them.
"Luke, what happened to the both of you?" Zach intervened. " Lucille, are you okay?"
"Huwag niyo nga akong ibaby. Of course I'm okay! Don't mind me." Lucille denyingly said.
"Anong huwag ibaby? Look Lucille, namamaga na 'yang paa mo and here you are telling us to don't mind it since ayos ka lang at ayaw mong binebaby?! Pwede ba yun? Of course we're worried about you!"
There they are..
...It was Luke, carrying Lucille by his own arms..

*KNOCKS*
"Come in, it's open!" Jaiden said as he heard the clear but gentle knocks on the door of their office.
As soon as he heard it, the loud and shrill creak of the door suddenly filled the room full of quietness all over earlier.
"What's up?" asked Drake, heading toward his own table..
"What do you mean what's up?"
"What's up! Why, simpleng english bang yun hindi mo na ngayon naiintindihan?"
"Nang-aasar ka ba?" Jaiden answered irritatedly.
"Nah! It's just that you look odd today, pare.."
"What do you mean by odd? Mukha akong alien?"
"Not that. Nakakapanibago ka lang, Jaide. Besides, bigla ka lang umalis after dumating ni Lucille and Luke mula dun sa pakulo ni Tito Robbie na Haunted House earlier." Jaiden who is as if struck by a lightning suddely twitched one of his eyebrows and bit his lips afterwards. "Ei, don't tell me... nagseselos ka?"
"Manahimik ka ha.." and he return back his gaze on his paperworks. "Your joke is not funny, you know that Drake."
"Well, maybe your not finding it funny since in the first place.. I'm not joking Jaide. YOU ARE JEALOUS."
"I SAID I'M NOT!!" slamming his table.
Both of them were shock and speechless to what had happened especially Jaide who is flabbergasted on what he did.
He just get angry to the kind and calm member of his peer group, Drake Wezley Ramos.
"Just as I thought so, wala ka talaga ngayon sa ulirat, Jaiden." Drake concluded patting of his friend's back, while Jaiden who is half-guilty to what he has done put his both palms on his face, covering it.
"Jaide, alam ko na yang hilatsa ng mukha mo! Pati na yang buga ng hangin mula sa ilong mo! Para saan pang naging kabarkada kita these years kung pagdating lang sa ganyan e hindi na kita matulungan? There's something wrong, wasn't it?"
"I said none. Tigilan mo nga ako. Mas marami ka pang alam kesa sa akin eh." still denying.
"Alam mo, kung meron lang award sa pagiging ganyan mo.. matagal ka ng nakoronahan."
"Ano bang pagiging ganito ko?"
"Yung pagiging in-denial mo--*BOOGSH* Ano ba Jaide?!!" Jaiden, with his mean self once again, suddenly throws out a pillow to Drake's face.
"Hindi ako in-denial, nagsasabi ako ng totoo! Okay lang ako.." he said, regaining his self.
"JAIDEN?!" Drake shouted hysterically, while Jaiden acts as if he doesn't care at all. Instead, he just put on his earplugs and continued his work, now typing with his laptop.
Drake, who is so furious of Jaiden's way of acting to the matters tried to get his attention once again by messing up his typing and pulling Jaiden's hand out of his device.
"For Pete's sake, RAMOS!! Ano ba?!!! What do you want?!"
"You're not acting like you at all!"
''E ano bang gusto mong mangyari? Magwala ako, magpakabaliw ako dito sa harapan mo? Yun ba? Yun ba yung sinasabi mong tunay na ako? HA?!"
"Your arm," Drake interrupted. "It's bleeding, and your cloth.. it's messed up. Punit pa ang sleeves mo. And your acting weird. Yan ba yung sinasabi mong okay lang ha? Ano bang talagang nangyari ha? Bakit ka ba nagkakaganyan?"

Lucille's POV
"Magpahinga ka lang muna, hija ha. May kukunin lang ako sa Storage Room, babalik rin ako pagkatapos." sabi nung nurse before she left me all alone dito sa Infirmary Room.
If you're asking me why am I here, INJURED nga ako di ba? =____=
And if you're also asking me kung bakit hindi na lang ako magpasundo pauwi, AYOKO!
Iniisip ko pa lang, alam ko na ang mangyayari. For sure, maghihysterical na naman si Mom and Dad when they see me in this kind of situation..
Kaya mamaya na lang, pag napagtripan ko ng umuwi. xD
"Geez. Errr.." I moaned. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto, masakit pala talaga yung sprained ankle ko. Binigyan na ako ng pain killer nung nurse but still, nararamdaman ko pa rin yung kirot niya.
Sabi niya, 2 weeks pa raw bago ito gumaling since medyo mali yung bagsak ko at masyado itong natwist.. leshe talaga yun si J--!
No way.
It was Luke nga pala.. it was not Jaiden. I forgot.
So hindi ko siya dapat sisihin. When it comes to Luke, alam kong hindi niya yun sinadya.. Alam kong good boy siya compared to that stupid maniac.
But still, masakit pa rin.. ( T__T )
*SIGH*
Kung iniisip niyong unfair ako to that guy, YES! I admit it. Kung kayo ang nasa situation ko, siguro maiintindihan niyo rin ako.
I just hate that guy to the highest level.. and the worst part about it is that,
hindi ko alam kung kelan mauubos itong nararamdaman kong galit para sa kanya.
*DRIP*
*DRIP*
*DROP*
Ayan, nararamdaman ko na naman..
I opened my eyes and checked the window, it was raining..
Bawat patak nung ulan, mas lalo ko lang nararamdaman yung lungkot at pag-iisa..
Mas lalo ko lang nararamdaman na walang ibang tao na nasa tabi, para hawakan ako, para suportahan ako kapag hindi ko na kaya..
Yes, I'm trying to be brave. Pero sometimes, may mga bagay naman na kahit anong pilit nating labanan.. natatalo pa rin tayo di ba? In the end, tayo pa rin yung nawawalan.. tayo pa rin yung nalulungkot..
"Bakit ba kasi ang tahimik dito?" I asked myself. Kung anu-ano tuloy ang pumapasok sa isip ko.
Alam ko namang walang sasagot sa akin since ako nga lang yung tao dito sa room, pwera na lang kung meron ngang multo dito which I believe is not true and existing.
"Why do I always feel all alone?"
"Kasi hindi mo ako hinahayaang mag-stay sa tabi mo."
O_______O????
"Why are you here?"
"Bakit, masama ba?"
"Bawal ba?"
"Restricted ba?"
"Hindi ba talaga pwede..
...kung ang gusto ko lang naman e makita ka?" he said bitterly.

Dear Lord,
Akala ko ba ang natwist lang e yung paa ko.. kaya nga tinawag na Sprained Ankle di ba? Uso na rin po ba ngayon ang Sprained Brain at..
...Sprained Heart? </3 ________________________________________________________________________

Next, mahal ko kayo! Kaya kahit anung hirap ang pagsabayin ang pag-UD nito plus yung pag-aaral ng pesteng Major kong Customs at Tariff e pinipilit ko pa rin, kasi nga, mahal ko kayo! Kaya sana, mahal niyo rin ako at patuloy niyong susuportahan ang story ko. :))) Be patient kung matagal man akong mag-update these past few days but rest assure na hindi ko ito iddrop dahil paghihirapan ko itong matapos!
