40-THE AJERO'S AND MR PULO

Betito Ryzel Ajero

   My sister figure is still sleeping. I never thought she wanted to be a sleeping beauty. She's not that type of person. I thought I like her, but when she pushes me to her sister and became our cupid. I realized that, I only like her as a sister.

She's a sister figure to me. We don't have a sister anyway. My Kuya's so eager to meet her personally. They already see her tho, but she's asleep.

Sparkly been comfortable to us now. She's not that bitchy like before. I can feel her pain. I saw how she's screaming that time. She's out of controlled. I dragged her out of the location, but she's hard headed. She witness how Isabelle shot on her back. She trembled and kneeled. Shocked and crying.

Its traumatizing. I failed to protect my parents, Dad became disable, but he's okay now. He's back to his older self. Respectful and kind. I'm so thankful that Mom is okay.

I can't contained how the Palermo's suffered. Losing a parents and a sister on coma. Isabelle doesn't deserve this. She only wanted to win the case and live happily, but the worst situation came. It ruined us. It ruined them. It ruined her.

I'm afraid how she will react about the news on her parents. It's painful.

"We're here!"

I announced. I went outside and helped Dad to go out and Mom. I glanced at Spark's side. I breathe heavily. She's still spacing out. I opened her and it shocked her.

"Let's go?" I smile gently to her and offered my hand. She's staring at me blankly. She slowly accepted my hand and went out.

"Let's go!" We went inside the hospital. Quiet and walking with our slow pace.

"Sino ang nandito ngayon, Iha?" Dad. Asking Spark.

"It's Saturn and Cecil, I think. I'm not sure po."

"Hmm! Si Sinester? Gabi pa rin ba siya pumupunta rito?"

"Yes po. He's busy. He only have time at nights." They became silent until we reach Isabelle's room. I knocked and opened it. No one's here.

"No one's here!! She shouldn't be alone!!!" Sparkly voice's is irritated.

"I'm here!" We glanced at the voice coming from the Comfort Room. Saturn is leaning at the side of the door. Spark's suddenly breathe heavily. Releasing the heavy feelings. Saturn walked straight to Sparkly and hugged her tight.

"Don't worry too much, Spark. She's not staying here alone always. We never leave the hospital without the others." Spark's hugged him too. Nodding on his chest.

"Sorry, it's just that... I thought of, what if something happened to her and no one's here."

"I understand. I understand you. I'm thinking of it too." Seeing them like this it's become a big changes to them. The first time we saw them, they look like far to each other. They're not closed. They're more likely a stranger to each other. But, Isabelle reunited them. The incident make them closer more. They are both hurting and mourning. I pity them and at the same time admired them. They are strong, still fighting and believing Isabelle's recovery.

'Isabelle, look at your siblings. They're so closed now. You should be seeing this.'

   Naging magulo ang lahat pagkatapos ng nangyaring iyon. Ramdam ko ang sakit at pangungulila nila. Nasubaybayan ko kung paano sila magdusa.

Masakit sa akin lalo na't nasaktan din ang asawa ko. Malaki ng pasasalamat ko at yun lang ang natamo niya. Di ko alam ang magagawa ko kung sakaling pati siya ay napuruhan din ng sobra.
