Danica
Mom took a sharp breath before she opens her mouth to say something. Ramdam ko ang kaba at pag-nginig ng mga kamay ng aking ina. Unti-unting bumakas ang kanyang bibig ng may narinig kaming malakas na putok. Sa pagkurap ng aking mga mata hindi ko inaasahan ang aking nakita. Hindi ko maigalaw ang aking mga binti. I can't feel anything. Namanhid na ba ako sa dami ng nangyari sa aking paligid? My senses came back nang tinapik ako ni lucy, my bestfriend and she's also my childhood friend kasi magkaibigan din ang parents namin since their college days. Kailangan ko pa ba talaga i enumerate kung gaano kami ka close ni lucy habang nasa harapan ko ang aking ina na walang buhay? Yes, it's right, my mom is now dead she's laying in a pool of blood. I'm infront of her but I didn't do anything nor move. I can't,dahil hindi ko gusto kundi hindi ko kayang makita ang nanay ko sa ganitong sitwasyon. I can feel my knees are trembling and the weakness of it. The river of tears flow down to my cheeks and cried it out loud. Sigaw ako ng sigaw pero bakit hindi siya gumigising? Ramdam ko ang bigat ng aking puso at gusto ng mawasak dahil sa bigat nito. I can't, I can't handle this. Lucy hug me from the back to calm me down, but she knows it won't work. Well I guess gusto nya lang iparamdam sakin na hindi ako nag iisa. She's shushing me but I didn't stop shouting. Para akong bata na inagawan ng lollipop pero iba ito at mas worst. Nilapitan ko ang aking ina na naliligo sa kanyang sariling dugo and hug her. No please, this can't be true! I heard sirens outside but I didn't care. Wala naman silang maibigay na hustisya sa aking ina dahil nangyari nadin to sa aking kuya. Namatay sha last week, Oo last week lang kaya di ako makapaniwala na nangyari ito sa nanay ko. I cursed the killer of my mother and brother to death. Sana sha ang mamatay. Ipaghihiganti ko sila. I will find their justice. Napahagulgol ako ng sobra dahil hindi ko talaga kinaya ang nangyayari. The police man help me up and the medics put my mom in the stretcher and headed outside. The policeman guided me outside and handed me a bottle of water. He asked me some questions but I cannot hear his voice. He keep talking but there are no voice coming out. My gaze linger all over the place.I was about to open my mouth to ask the policeman but my sorroundings are moving and I feel dizzy, 'Is this what they call lightheadedness?' tanong ko sa sarili ko. I took a step backwards to lean on the wall pero parang natapilok yata ako o ano ba dahil bigla akong natumba at nahulog sa bangin.
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon at hinahabol ang aking hininga. Parang galing ako sa isang marathon ah. Tumingin ako sa mini clock sa mesa na nasa gilid ng kama ko, It's 4 am na pala kaya bumangon na ako dahil alam kong hindi na ulit ako makatulog. As I touch the cold metal of the door knob I immediately turn to my back. I feel my shivers down to my spine. As I see a black hooded man standing at the window and staring straight and pointing at me. Bubuksan ko na sana ang pintuan ng may malakas na putok akong narinig. Nakaramdam ako ng hapdi sa likuran ko. I reach my back and stood frozen as I touch a liquid thing there. Dahan dahan kong inangat ang kamay ko at tinignan ito. Nanlumo ako sa nakita ko. Duguan ang aking kamay. Nanghina ang aking mga tuhod at napaluhod, tiningan ko ang lalaki pero wala na siya dun. I catch my breath pero parang hindi ko na mahuhuli ang aking hininga. Nanlabo ang aking mata and it all went black.
