My Dear Comrade | √

Chapter 11

Rachel's POV

"Pinatay mo yung anak ko!"

"Pa'no na si Malik? Sabihin mo, pa'no na siya!"

Daniel and I had a movie date today but I didn't understand what I was watching because until now I still remember what George told me.

"Rachel, inisip mo ba manlang si Malik? Anak mo siya."

"Hindi mo dapat ginawa 'yun."

I was thinking about so many problems now so I took a deep breath. Sa sobrang lalim, napalingon sakin si Daniel.

"Okay ka lang?" Daniel worriedly asked me so I nodded.

"Hindi na boring yung movie, Rachel?" Daniel asked me again.

"Sakto lang." I answered and went back to watching.

After we watch a movie, we are looking for a restaurant to eat. As I was walking I saw George and Maxine enter a jewelry shop.

Magpapakasal na ba 'tong dalawa 'to? Why did they go in there? I ignored them and just continued walking with Daniel.

After my movie date with Daniel, Moria and Lindsey and I hang out. An hour ago when we started drinking, kaya hindi ko alam kung lasing nako or what.

Ang tagal kong tinititigan si Lindsey. I just stared at Lindsey. She has an adorable smile. I miss her.

"... I'm happy to see you again." I said with a smile and while still staring at her.

"Ha? Grabe naman ata 'yan. Nung nakaraang linggo kakakita niyo lang aaa." Moira's innocent answered to me.

I just looked at Lindsey again. I could see in her eyes that she was a little scared of me while Moira was confused.

"I'm so sorry, Lindsey." I said with a smile but I was sincere.

"Ano?" Lindsey asked me confusedly.

"You know I'm sincere in everything I do, especially at work." I smirked so Lindsey raised her brow at me.

"Ano bang pinagsasabi mo, Rachel?" Lindsey said and tried to smile.

"Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyayari. Gusto ko lang sabihin na... I want you to be happy." I said with a smile. I'm still staring at her. I miss her so much.

"I want you to be happy too." Lindsey seems don't know what to say.

"In the future, I want you to help me." I think I'm drank.

"What kind of help are you saying?" Lindsey asked me.

"Forgiveness." I brief answered.

"Forgiveness?" Lindsey confusedly said again.

"I want you to rest in peace. Hindi ko gusto na hindi ka maligtas. I did my best in the operation but I still failed. I'm sorry because I didn't fulfill my promise to you before the operation–" I hadn't finished speaking when Moira suddenly batukan me. Hinawakan niya din yung leeg at noo ko para tignan kung may sakit ako.

I saw Lindsey hugging herself because she was terrified of what I was saying.

"I love you, Lindsey. You're the best best friend I've ever meet." I lovely said to her.

"Si Lindsey lang? Pa'no naman ako?" I looked at Moira pouting to one side.

"You always do your best Doctor Moira. I admire you when it comes to the ER. I love you." I lovely said to this girl too so Moira immediately hugged me and Lindsey.

"Mahal ko kayong dalawa. Kahit kung ano-anong pinagsasabi mo ngayon. Kung nakapagsalita ka parang galing ka ng future." Galing nga ako.

I was drunk and walking home. I was just outside the door when you heard Justin, Joshua and Ate Monica talking. Para silang batang naghaharutan.

Bakit hindi ko mabuksan yung pintuan? Ang bigat naman ng pintuan namin.

"Ang ganda. Ibebenta ko 'to." I heard Justin say.

"Hoy, akin 'yan." I heard Ate Monica said as I try to open the door.

"Hindi, akin 'to." I heard Justin said again.

"Baliw, mawawala mo lang 'yan." I heard Ate Monica answered.

"Hindi, ipapa-frame ko 'to." Ano bang pinaguusapan nila?

"Mawawala mo nga lang 'yan." Papel ba pinaguusapan nila? Nagaaway pa sila, hindi pa ba uso duplicate ngayon?

"Hindi, ibabalik ko 'to sa'yo sa future." I heard Justin say at the same time as I opened the door. Sa wakas!

"Anong ginagawa niyo?" I asked after I entered the door.

No one spoke to the three of them so I walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"Kayong tatlo... Namiss ko kayo. Hindi pa kayo nakakarating ng California pero miss na miss ko na agad kayo." I said so I felt them walking towards me.

"Lasing ka ba?" Joshua asked me so I nodded.

"Um. I also miss Marcus. Every time I go to sleep, I always wonder where he is... Jerk." I smirked when Justin suddenly spoke.

"Sino? Ako?" Justin seriously answered so I shaken my head.

"No. That jerk named George. Tama naman siya eh. it's my fault why Malik died..." My words in the air.

"There's a lot of regrets. Binigay niya naman lahat sakin, even the thing that no other man can gave me. He gave me his name. Kahit mawala 'yun, mabura 'yun, yung bagay na nabuo namin... Hinding-hindi mabubura." As I spoke I felt a tear trickle down my cheek.
