Jared's POV
"Kuya, masakit. Yung mga sinabi niya--
"BAT KA BA KASI NAGPAPAAPEKTO KA SA SINASABI NG IBA!"
Nagulat ako sa sinabi ko. I did'nt mean to shout at her. But it's for her own good narin kasi kung patuloy lang siyang magpapaapekto mas masasktan lang siya.
I can't bear seeing her act this way. Alam ko palaban siya pero alam niya limatations niya. And she stepped out to her line of limitations.
"What now, Ionnah? Watch your actions kasi! Not all the time mapagsasabihan ka namin--
"TANG*NANG BUHAY NAMAN OH! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! NASAKSAKTAN DIN AKO KUYA! OO, MATAPANG AKO PERO NASASAKTAN DIN AKO!"
Pero mas nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.
She cussed.
And she never cussed before in front of me. Patuloy na siya sa pagluha. I felt bad for what I did. Sana di ko nalang sinabayan yung init ng ulo niya.
Ang g*go mo talaga kahit kailan Jared. Di mo na inintindi damdamin mg kapatid mo.
"F-faith. I'm sorry.."
"Akala ko kuya naiintindihan mo ko. Hindi pala."
"Naiintindihan kita bunso--
"NO KUYA! PAANO MO MAIINTINDIHAN SITWASYON KO HA? Kuya..Paano?"
Faith, alam ko. Alam ko lahat. Di ko alam kung paano ko pagagaanin loob mo.
"Faith--
Bago pa ko sumagot nabigla ako nang bumagsak siya. I was left frozen on my position.
I heard someone gasp and said, "Jeez. That was close."
Natauhan nalang ako nang napansin kong buhat-buhat na ni Gab si Faith.
We brought her to the nearest hospital. We were waiting outside her room for the result. I was about to dial dad's number when someone grab my phone.
It was Red.
"Not now. She's not on the right condition kuya Jared."
He's right.
How I wish I was him para lagi akong nasa tabi ni Faith. Open-minded at understanding siyang tao, that's why I ask him to look over her, I trust him enough para ipaubaya ko si Faith sa kanya pag na school sila.
May naaninag akong mga nakauniform na tumatakbo sa may hallway.
"Kuya Jared! How's Yonah?!" hinihingal na tanong ni Lauren, kasama niya yung mga kaibigan nila.
Ako naman di parin makasagot. Pakiramdam ko kasi kasalanan ko yung nangyari sa kanya.
"Jared." napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko nang marinig ko si tito Jed.
"Tito, how's Faith?"
"Stable naman na siya. But, the reason kung bakit siya hinimatay,
it's because of her illness before."
F*ck.
"Nahirapan siyang huminga that caused her to faint. I already told you, take care of her. Yes, masasabi nating di gaano kalala yung sakit niya like HCM or any other heart illnesses, pero anytime pwede lumala ito that may cause her something really hard to endure."
"Mahina ba katawan ni Ionnah, doc?" tanong ni Keiran na medyo naiiyak na.
"No, don't worry, I can see that she has this strong body. But disregarding her body stability, mentally and emotionally she's not healthy, she's emotionally disturbed."
Halos lahat sila napatingin sa akin, nakikita ko sa mata nila na gusto nilang tanungin, 'Bakit kuya? Ano bang pinagdadaanan niya?'
Masayado na nga niya siguro dinadamdam yung nalaman niya. But she does'nt know the whole story..
Tumalikod ako at tumakbo.
Kailangan niya na malaman yung totoo.
Pero hindi galing sakin.
Kundi, kila Dad.
I heard them calling me, pero di ko muna pinansin. Desidido na talaga ako, pipilitin ko na sila dad na sabihin kay Faith. I can't bear seeing her suffer like this. Two years is too long for her to endure this. Hihintayin pa ba nila yung pagturn niya ng eigteen para maintindihan ni Faith? Sila ata ang may kailangan ng pang-unawa eh, Faith's being hurt continuously and deeply and yet wala silang balak tigilan yung kahibangan nila?
Stupid eighteen year old rule agreement.

The Penalty Kick
RandomBeing weak was not in Ionnah's list. That's what she thought before a storm came to mess up the game she's having. She grew tired and stopped chasing the ball she thought was hers to deserve and started looking for a new path she thought that will f...
