I LOOK at the four corners of the wall

I LOOK at the four corners of the wall. There are noises, loud noises coming. The people are crowded. There is a complete annoyance. The noise keeps coming from every corner of the place where I'm not comfortable.

I blinked. I can't believe that I will go here again, visiting my important person in my life. Few days have left and things didn't go well. I'm hoping for days to become better, but things have become much worse.

"Nakakagulat ang mga nangyayari sa panahon ngayon." I heard one of the police officers speaking to the man in front of him, "Mukhang inosente pero ang totoo hindi naman."

The man in front of him replied, "Kaya nga. Biruin mo isang naglilingkod pala sa hospital ang pumatay sa isang estudyante."

I closed my eyes, I control myself to punch their face. It's happening again. People always have a say in what they hear and see.

I'm inside in a detention center, paying a visit for Curran. I can't still believe that he got arrested. He can't do that, I'm sure with it. I know him.

I was about to call Curran's name when my phone suddenly rings. It was a call from Lazarus. I sighed.

I turned back and answer the call of Lazarus. "Attorney, nasa hospital na si Sic. Kailangan mo na siyang puntahan. Wala siyang malay."

"Salamat. Papunta na ako." I gave a fast look in Curran's direction. I saw his back and I want to see his face too.

I shook my head and decided to go to the hospital where Sic is currently at. I don't know what to feel right now. I was puzzled because my boyfriend is arrested for a crime that he didn't do. Mira is dead and Sic is now at the hospital. Sic jumped from the rooftop. Fuck! For what reason?

I came to the second floor of the hospital. I saw two police officers that are talking to a doctor. As soon as they are finish talking with the doctor, I went to Sic and see his condition.

He has a white cloth in his head, dextrose, and he's wearing a hospital gown. I was disappointed when I saw Sic here at the hospital.

The two police officers came to me. I have the chance to speak and asked, "What happened to him?" In fact, I don't know what really happens.

"He had a stomachache, so we decided to transfer him to the emergency room. We had a talk with the doctor and he jumped from the rooftop—"

I slammed the table next to me because of my anger. "You better keep your eye on him. Can you do your job—?"

"This is your fault!" My lips parted when the police investigator shouted those words. "I heard your conversation when you last visited him. You yelled and even cursed at him."

I was about to defend myself when Prosecutor Monet enter the room. "Is this what you want, Attorney Alvarez?" She's wearing a black suit patterned with black trousers. "Let me warn you. Don't even try to blame it on coercive interrogation. Sic choked you at the court."
