3RD PERSON
It's been a week since Trist was missing. Things didn't go smoothly. Xy was admitted to the hospital for treatment. The person inside her haven't emerged yet since last week.
Those people who are present on the scene a week ago were in silent and still in shock. They aren't as lively as before.
While, Fauze didn't go to school since then. He was spending a whole week finding Trist and her mother. Sometimes, he was going to the hospital to see if Vera was emerged, then leave finding Trist.
A month has passed and still no trace of Trist until...
"Boss," tawag ni Grey nang makapasok ito sa kwarto ni Trist kung saan na ro'n si Fauze.
Nakaupo siya sa sahig habang tumitingin ng mga litrato ni Trist. Inangat niya ang ulo niya at tumingin kay Grey nang walang buhay na tingin.
"Vera is emerged."
Unti-unting nanlaki ang mata ni Fauze at dali-dali siyang lumabas ng kwarto at agad na pumunta sa kotse nito.
He couldn't care less about his look. His messy hair and his dishellved cream sleeves. Mabilis niyang pinahaturot ang kotse. Nakabuntot lang sa kaniya si Grey.
Sabay lang na dumating sina Zach at Rizwan kasabay sina Fause at Grey. Nasa hospital din sina Cd, Suzette, Grave, Clari at Moss.
"Just tell us where our friend, please..." naiiyak na sabi ni Clari kay Vera na nasa katawan ni Xy.
Tumawa ito ng nakauuyam na tawa. Pilit siyang kumakawala sa pagkakagapos sa magkabilang pulsuhan niya. Naka-kadena ang kamay at paa nito.
Tutol si Cd do'n, pero wala siyang magawa dahil nasaksihan nila kung ga'no kalakas si Vera. Napatulog niya 'yong limang nagbabantay sa kaniya at balak pa nitong tumakas kanina, pero buti na lang nahuli siya ng mga guwardiya ng hospital.
Malakas na bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa non sina Zach, Riz, Grey at Fauze na seryoso ang mga tingin. Napatigil sa pagtawa si Vera nang makita ang mga 'to.
"Oh, look who's here," ngisi ni Vera habang nakatingin sa mga bagong dating. "Are you here to visit me? How sweet of you," maarte nitong sabi na parang nata-touch pa sa sinabi nito.
"Where's Belle?" tanong ni Fauze. Seryoso itong lumapit sa kaniya.
"Do you miss her already?" she asked in a sarcastic way. "I wonder what she's doing right now. Or maybe she's already..." sinadya niyang bitingin si Fauze at nakangisi itong tumitig sa kaniya. "...dead," bulong niya.
'Di mapigilan ni Fauze ang galit niya at kinuwelyuhan niya si Vera at padabog nitong idinikit sa pader. Napangiwi ang babae, pero agad ding ngumisi.
Nagulat 'yong iba sa ginawa ni Fauze. Lalapit na sana si Cd sa kanila, pero pinigilan siya ni Grey.
"Don't make me lose my temper, b*tch. You caused the mess, so clean it." Napasinghap si Vera nang diinan ni Fauze ang pagkakasakal sa kaniya.
"Damn it! She can't breathe, Cohen!" sigaw ni Cd. Nagpupumiglas siya sa pagkakahawak ni Grey sa kaniya.
Kahit 'yong iba ay natatakot sa maaaring gawin ni Fauze. Ramdam nila ang galit nito at takot silang makialam.
Napakuyom ng kamao si Grave. Katawan pa rin ni Xy ang sinasaktan ni Fauze at maari itong makasama sa kaniya.
Pupuntahan niya na sana sila, pero agad na lumapit sa kaniya si Zach. "Let him be. He knows what he's doing," kalmadong sabi ni Zach. Napabuntong-hininga na lang si Grave.
