Last update for this week kase

DOCTOR
I was busy scrolling up and down my facebook feed. Vacant hours namin today. Si Lovelle and Sophie naman kumakain sa kani kanilang mga plato.
Ilang oras since yung last post ni Joaquin. Hindi ko alam kung nakaland na sila kasi automatic naman na magme-message or tatawag siya sa akin. Sooo, baka hindi pa nga sila nakakarating.
"Dok, kain tayo! Adobo ulam!" sigaw ni Sophie. Sumenyas naman ako ng hindi muna dahil busog pa ako, kakakain ko lang kanina e.
Si Lovelle naman, halatang madamot talaga 'pagdating sa kaniyang korean fried chicken. Buti nalang, hindi hanap ng taste buds ko 'yan ngayon. Dahil malilintikan talaga 'yang manok na 'yan sa akin.
"May flight ulit si Captain?" tanong ni Lovelle. Tumango naman ako, tumango rin siya. Nagtanguan lang kami.
"Ay, by the way! Pasabi naman kay Captain, pasabay ako ng elephant printed bag, Dok! Sige na. Bayaran ko 'pagbalik niya." ngiti pa ni Sophie. Inirapan ko lang siya. Lagi naman kasing nagpapasabay 'yang dalawa sa tuwing may international flight si Joaquin.
"Oo na, oo na. Kapag tumawag na, I'll tell him. Hindi pa kasi nagme-message sa akin e so baka hindi pa nakakalanding."
"Huh? Eh, kanina pa yung umaga kamo sila nagtake-off? Ang lapit lang naman ng Thailand!" singit ni Lovelle.
"Sige nga lakarin mo mula rito." sarkastikong biro ko kaya nagmake-face si Lovelle sa akin. Pero may point naman siya, kanina pa umalis si Joaquin and yet hindi pa rin tumatawag.
O baka naman marami pang inaasikaso. I shake my head to erase that thought and continue browsing thru my phone.
Ate Janet Globe calling...
Awtomatikong napataas ang kaliwang kilay ko nang makita ang caller id nung tumatawag. What a random hour to call. I think it is very important. So I pressed the green button swiftly.
"Hello?" bati ko. I was alarmed when a sudden cracking of voice was heard on the other line. "What's happening?" I instantly stood up from my chair after hearing Ate Janet's sniffing.
"Ma'am, eh kasi, si Bebu..."
"Anong nangyari?" pilit kong kinakalma ang sarili ko dahil walang magagawa kung magpa-panic ako at sasabayan ko siya. Si Lovelle at Sophie rin mabilis na pumunta sa akin.
"Ma'am kanina pa po namin ginigising eh. Hindi magising...nagtapon yung mga pagkain niya sa tray, may mga nasukahan—"
I didn't even let Ate Janet to finish what she was saying because I hastily grabbed the keys of my car to drivaw as fast as I can to reach our house.
Fuck!

As soon as I reach our house, nagmamadali akong pumasok only to see Manang holding Bebu in her arms. My eyes became watery after seeing Bebu's body. Unconcious and turning pale.
