Dare To Love (Love Duology #1)

Chapter 37

Calm

-----

If I suffered when I lost my son who I never even met before, how suffering will I experience if I lost someone I truly love?

I already lost my son. Hindi ko na alam ang mangyayari sa 'kin kung pati ang kapatid ko ay mawawala sa 'kin.

"Laura..." Steve called as we heard the news from television.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang dapat kong gawin nang marinig ko ang nangyari sa kapatid ko dahil sa rami ng emosyon na mayroon ako sa mga oras na 'yon. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang telang nakapatong sa lamesang nasa unahan ko kasabay nang pag-pikit ng mga mata ko upang mai-kalma ko ang aking sarili, pag-iwas sa pag-iyak at galit na nararamdaman. I could feel my anger slowly eating me up while remembering the words that I heard from the news, making me pursed my lips to calm down.

If I get angry, it's not good. Walang magandang nangyayari sa tuwing nagpa-padala ang mga tao sa emosyon nila. At isa ako sa mga 'yon. I know what I am capable of and I'm fucking scared of what I might do if I let my emotions control me once they ate me up, so, I need to calm down.

"Excuse me," I said before standing up and went to the pool area. I took my phone from my pocket and immediately contacted Kuya Ladislaus, who immediately answered my call. "Kuya,"

"Shit, Laura. Tang ina!" Bungad sa 'kin ni Kuya Ladislaus gamit ang natataranta niyang boses. "Kuya Lazarus is in a critical condition. His heartbeat went fifty earlier! He needs to be operated on, but they're not letting me operate him! Tang ina talaga!"

I closed my eyes when I realized that Kuya Lazarus was really in a serious condition. Whatever happened to him, I know the organization already knows how it happened. I just need to calm my brothers before calling a member of Evil Mafias. I need to calm them because I know what they will do if they weren't calm.

"Kuya, breathe..." I commanded while calming myself, too. "Calm down..."

"Tang ina..." He mumbled as I heard him breathe from the other line. He was letting out heavy breathes to calm himself down. "I am now..."

"Are you sure, you are calm?" I asked, asking myself, too.

"I am... At least," He answered.

"Kuya, I need you to be fully calm, okay? You're the doctor amongst us and in any minute, Mama will be there. I need you to assure me to take care of Mama because you know how weak her heart is, right? You need to be calm, so that your emotions won't control you, Kuya. You need to calm down." I remarked with my calm voice, making my brother let out a heavy breathe again before he agreed.

"I'll see you later," He said before ending our call.

I pursed my lips as I walked back and forth while remembering what my doctor brother said. He told me that Kuya Lazarus needs to be operated and he can't operate on him because the hospital won't let him. I don't if it's a good thing that the hospital didn't allow my brother to operate on Kuya Lazarus or a bad thing because of our situation. Good thing, Kuya Ladislaus wasn't the only one, who was working at CIH.

"Kuya," tawag ko kay Kuya Lazarillo nang sagutin niya ang tawag ko. "Where are you?"

"Shooting, but I'm already on my way to my car, princess. Tang ina," sagot niya sa akin gamit ang galit niyang boses. "I'll kill them if something bad happens to Kuya Lazarus. Tang ina, papatayin ko sila."

"Kuya, please, don't be rash. Calm yourself before you decide to go to the hospital! I don't want another trouble today!" I said, almost hissing, over my phone.
