Death threats,
They were at it again.
If there are only six death threats I've received at all. Today, just today, I received double.
"Gising na siya, Matthew," Tita Mariel said as soon as she went out of Shane's room. I smiled at her weakly.
"Thank you for letting me in po," nakangiting sabi ko.
"You're welcome, hijo." She smiled back and tapped my shoulder.
She gestured me to go and I did, nakasalubong ko pa ang maid na may dalang tray ng breakfast ni Shane. I smiled at her and insisted to take that to Shane. Ayaw niya pa pero napapayag ko rin naman.
The first things that I saw are the colorful arrows pointing at Shane's bedside table. I saw her thick pink diary, on the diary's cover is a sticky note saying that she should read it and write after the day about her activities. I looked down the switch of the lights of her room, I saw a corkboard with our pictures pinned on it. On the wall beside her bed is a huge graffiti saying 'I AM SHANEL BREYANNA CORTEZ' and beside that is a huge calendar that crosses the past days.
"Good morning, Shane." I gave her a faint smile, she looked at me. Nagtataka sa paligid niya, pero hindi umimik. Nakatulala lang siya sa kisame habang magkasiklop ang mga kamay. "Kain ka na." I pulled the breakfast table near her bed and prepared her foods. "Did you know? My sister gave me a gift, she told me to give it to you as soon as I arrive here but you have to eat first." Pero hindi siya gumalaw, tulala lang siya at walang imik. "Shane..."
"The man who just came out of my room told me that you let the person who killed my parents out of the jail," walang emosyong sabi niya, nagulat naman ako dahil doon.
I heaved a sigh and nodded.
"Yes, I did," natapang na sabi ko. "I did let Zeus out of the jail but he... he is innocent." I bit my lower lip and watched her closely. She is still staring at the ceiling emotionlessly. "Shane---" I held her hand but she pulled it hastily.
"'Wag mo akong hawakan," she said. Malamig ang boses at ang paraan ng pagkakasabi.
"Shane---"
"A person who helps a criminal go out of the jail is a criminal himself. And a criminal cannot be my boyfriend,"
"Shane, please, don't do this to me," I whispered.
"Go," walang emosyong sabi niya, hindi pa rin nakatingin sa akin. "GO!"
"Okay, I will go, but please you have to eat." Hindi siya sumagot, so I carried the bed table on her bed. "Shane, umupo ka, kailangan mong kum---"
"I don't want to eat." My eyes widened, ramdam ko ang panginginig ng kamay ko.
"Please, you have to ea---"
"I SAID I DON'T WANT TO EAT!" sigaw niya at tinabig ang mga pagkain. Napatayo ako sa gulat, galit at takot.
I stared at the foods on the floor. Wala akong idea kung anong gagawin ko roon.
"Leave now! Leave! I don't let a stranger run into me! Go away and never let me see you again!"
"Bunso, anong nangyayari rito?!" Ate Sharly came, rushing towards us. She gasped after seeing the foods scattered on the floor. "Matthew, anong nangyari?" she asked.
"She's throwing tantrums," walang emosyong sabi ko. Ate Sharly nodded.
"Shanel," marahang sabi niya at maingat na lumapit kay Shane na masamang nakatingin sa akin. "What is your problem?" mahinang tanong niya.
