I've Been Executed

Chapter 51

Zajei's POV

"Ice." Mahinang pagtawag ko sa lalakeng nakaupo sa may couch. Nakatungo man s'ya ay mahahalata na hindi s'ya natutulog.

Unti unti siyang nag-angat ng tingin at sinalubong ang aking mga mata.

"Yeah?"

"Take me out of here." I huskily utter as my throat hurts. I've been asleep for how many days and until now, hindi pa ako tuluyang magaling.

Kakagising ko lang kanina but I saw Saviel sleeping at my side while holding my right hand. Hindi ko na siya ginising pa as I drove myself to sleep again. Nagising lang ulit ako kanina noong narinig ko ang mahihinang paghikbi n'ya, asking me to wake up while kissing my knuckles.

I can't open my eyes that time. I felt like I am so tired and I need time to rest and heal. My heart and mind are compelling in sync. My mind told me to sleep yet my heart wants me to wake up and comfort my girlfriend. I badly miss her. I want to hug and kiss her again.

But for the second time, I had fallen asleep.

The next time I open my eyes was I saw my mother entering the room with another doctor. They are talking about something I don't know but after my Mom saw me with open eyes, she rushed towards me kasunod ng pagpasok ng mga nurses sa loob ng kwarto.

Sav is not here anymore. Mommy told me that she went to her house para makapagpalit ng damit at makatulog ng maayos dahil simula raw noong na-admit ako dito sa hospital ay hindi na s'ya umuwi pa.

"Are you serious?!" Ice exclaimed with his eyebrows furrowed.

I nod my head before closing my eyes.

"I need some time for myself. After Kaios died because of me, after Shan and Rage got kidnapped, do you think kaya ko pang humarap sa iba ng basta basta lang?" I chuckle without humor before a tear fell from my left eye.

Ice already told me that Kaios had totally fallen.

Dead on arrival.

At first, he was hesitant to tell me about the deets pero wala na s'yang nagawa pa noong pinilit ko s'ya. And after knowing all of it, I feel so worthless for the nth time.

How can I let people around me sacrifice their lives for my own sake? How stupid I am not to notice every single hints they are leaving every time I passes by.

Kaios is a great friend of mine, indeed. Noong nagbreak kami, I shouldn't just let all the things go. I was too blinded with the fact that he cheated for me not to notice the clues that he isn't.

Ice told me that Kaios didn't intend nor think to cheat on me, not even once. It was Wave's plan who ruin our relationship. Noong nakita ko si Kaios na nakikipagsex sa ibang babae sa condo niya, he was drug by Wave causing for his libido to rise. Then, Wave ordered some woman to do nasty to him. Kaya ko sila naabutan sa ganoong ayos ay dahil wala naman sa sarili niya sa Kaios.

But he didn't even tell me that incident para naman may nagawa ako sa relasyon namin. He was afraid to confront me because Wave might hurt me.

How weak shit I am.

"Zj--"

"I'll come back, Ice." Paninigurado ko sakaniya dahil nararamdaman kong wala siyang balak tulungan ako.
