Project: Finding Vory; The Beginning

Level 4

"I'm sorry po. At 2:15 A.M., your relative is no longer with us. The cause of death is an internal hemorrhage. I'm sorry po, but we did all we can to save the patient." The doctor announced with his stern but compassionate voice.

I felt a strong pang in my chest. It's as if I was stabbed by a 20mm long rod straight right to my heart. No one dared to talk. I can't move. I quickly parked the car on the side road. Fuck.

"Doc, w-wala na po bang pag-asa? P-please doc, there has a way to save Kiro right?" I heard Kei's shaking voice along with others' sobs. It made my heart ache more. The thought of attending a friend's burial is more painful than it is. There are nights when I thought of a friend passing away while I bathe my pillow in tears. But, feeling it in real life, there are no words to describe the pain and suffering we're feeling right now.

"I'm sorry but we did all we can" The doctor then left us in pain and disbelief. Hours ago, I was agonizing my loss. They comforted and laughed at me at the same time.

I can still hear Kiro's voice and his laugh. His jokes are not funny but the delivery was top-notch. The late-night food-hunting. Heck, I can still picture Kiro eating even after a meal. I left a chuckle at that thought. I miss you already bud.

Droplets turn into rain, rain turning into a heavier one. I was silently weeping. No sounds dare to come out of my mouth. The other line was also silent. No sobs came out. Just unending flow of tears. Who knew that one day; we'll protect your grave. I breathed a loud sigh. I continue my drive, Tears fogging my vision. I quickly squinted my eyes. I have to be there.

I gathered all my courage to drive. We all need each other at times like this. The call was still on and all I can hear was sobs and weeps. I can't, this is too much. Kiro please come back. Please wake me up from this dream.

This is when I knew, there were only Heaven and Hell. Heaven where all those who remained goodwill ascend, and Hell where we are right now. Life is a living hell. Puta alam kong sa dami nang kagaguhan na ginawa ko, bawas na bawas na points ko sa Heaven pero, ano 'to free trial? I thought to myself. I miss Kiro. My vision is getting more blurry as I drive.

We were still in shock. I can still hear them weeping and sobbing.

"Fucking shit, if only I was sooner. If only I didn't invite you all to go. Fucking freaking shit" Yaku screamed while banging the hospital's walls.

"Yaku pre, calm down. None of this was our fault" I also screamed at Yaku, enough for him to hear on the other line.

"Stil..." I can still hear Yaku's screams followed by his cries.

"Don't blame yourself, Yaku. Kiro wouldn't want that" Aji informed us which made us cry even more.

Fucking shit Kiro. I miss you...

"Tangina niyo mga gago, bakit kayo umiiyak??"

Screeeechh

I quickly hit the break as soon as I heard Kiro's voice. Followed by loud screams and cries on the other line.

"The fuck? Namamalik mata na talaga ako kanina pa"  Yaoi shouted in disbelief.

"Punyeta pre, tangina wag mo kami multuhin please, aaa"  Ryu screamed so loud, even I can hear it from here.

"Tangina anak ng gago punyeta Kiro, totoo mga multo guys"  Kei said as if he found the results of his lifetime research.

"Tangina Kei, si Kiro ba yan?" I asked Kei to confirm that it's really Kiro
