KEEPING THE LAST BULLET
CHAPTER 11
AVRIONNE'S POINT OF VIEW
I hid behind Villain and held the knife tightly, seeing the woman smiling widely but the man remained in a serious face habang tinitignan ang kabuuan ko.
"Young girl, they'll be your parents from now on. This is my son Sandro, and she is his wife, Lily," Villain introduced the two.
I looked at them, so clueless. Mga magulang ko?
"What is your name hija?" Napayuko ako nang hindi malaman ang isasagot.
"A-Amethyst." A man's voice uttered that name while looking at me in my mind. Napatabingi ang ulo ko. Ako si Amethyst?
"Ang pangalan ko ay-
-Avrionne," pagpuputol ni Villain sa sasabihin ko.
"She's Avrionne Iris." Nakipagsukatan ito ng tingin sa akin.
Ngunit bakit iyon ang tinawag ng lalaki sa isipan ko?
"Your name is as beautiful as you. Let me hug you my daughter. I am your Mom, and I will never let you to be alone again."
Isang malakas na pintig sa aking puso ang nagpagising sa buong sistema ko. Hanggang sunod-sunod at naging mabilis na ang tibok nito, hindi ko mawari kung bakit.
Mommy.
Napanaginipan ko siya, sila ni Dad. The day I begun to be Avrionne, the day they became my parents.
I tried to move my body when I felt someone looking at me. My eyebrows furrowed when I felt a thing moving closer and closer, until it reached like an inch away from my face.
I opened my eyes.
And there I saw a pair of dazzling heaven that made my heart beat more and more, louder and louder until I can't help but to hold that part.
"You're awake," saad nito sa mababang boses. Hindi pangkaraniwan ang boses nito. Mababa ngunit hindi malalim.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin nang mapagtanto kung gaano kami kalapit sa isa't-isa. Namamalikmata lamang ba ko ngunit nakita ko ang sakit na dumaan sa pares ng kumikinang niyang mga mata.
"I'm sorry for your lost." Sandali ako'ng natigil tsaka siya mabilis na nilingon.
"Ano kamo?" mariing tanong ko.
"I said I'm sorry for your lost," pag-uulit nito na mas lalong nagpadagdag ng pagtataka sa akin.
"Ano'ng sinasabi mo? Nasaan si Bruise? P-Paano ako napunta rito?"
The last thing I remember was Sapphire-
-And she fvcking stole the key.
"I was the one who saved you from the explosion near my auntie's place. I saw you lying on the floor unconsciously, covered with blood. I brought you here secretly para naman magamot ka. Your brother is so worried about you, and so do I," mahabang paliwanag nito.
Napahawak ako sa aking binti nang bigla iyong kumirot.
"I won't ask you to be careful this time, baby. I won't advise you to take care of yourself. I will be the one to do it. I'll take care of you, I will be beside you all the time. No one can hurt you, baby." Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang dahan-dahan nitong ilapit ang kanyang mukha sa akin.
