Chapter 19
Napaluhod si Tita Emma sa harapan ng doctor as she cried Michael's name. Nakita kong yinakap ni Emily kaagad ang kanyang nanay and Tito Miles did the same thing. Napatingin ako kay Macoy na nanghihinang naglakad papunta sa doctor at kwinelyuhan ito
"Macoy!" tawag ko sakanya
"Nagbayad kami ng maayos! Anong sinasabi mo na wala na ang kapatid ko!? Ayusin mo ang trabaho mo! Ibalik mo ang kapatid ko!"
The doctor remained calm and just give him a sad look
"Wala na kaming magagawa pa sir, pasensya na" napaluhod si Macoy sa harapan ng doctor at yumuko
"Ang bata ng kapatid ko doc, parang awa niyo na. Subukan niyo pa po siyang buhayin"
Napatakip ako sa bibig para pigilan ang pag hagulgol. It hurts me so much. Umiling lang ang doctor at umalis na. Lumapit na ako kay Macoy and hug him from the behind and held my arms for support. The five of us cried there in font of the emergency room. The nurses are even guiding us na maupo na pero hindi sumusunod si Tita Emma
Bumitaw na saakin si Macoy and held his mother and help his father. Ilang oras kaming nakaupo lang sa waiting area ni Emily at Macoy since Tito Miles and Tita Emma are dealing with the bills. We also had our one last look of Michael, I know he is an angel watching us from above. Wala ng luha ang lumabas kay Macoy at Tito Miles but Emily and Tita Emma can't stop crying
Bigla namang tumunog ang phone ko at nakitang tumatawag si Kuya Grayson. I excuse myself at lumayo sakananilang dalawa
"Hello?"
"Where the hell are you, Navreen? You sneaked out of the house at nag aalala na si Mom and Dad! Anong oras na? Kanina ka pa namin tinatawagan pero you're out of reach! Nasaan ka?"
Napapikit naman ako ng mariin "Nasa hospital ako"
"What? Did something happened? Are you okay?"
"Okay lang ako pero.. pero Kuya, Macoy's little brother just died" I keep biting the inside of my cheeks para pigilan ang sarili sa pag iyak ulit. The other line went silent and I know my Kuya was just shock
I heard him sigh "Okay, can you please come home? Nag aalala na talaga yung dalawa, kaunti na lang magtatawag na yun ng mga police. I'll pick you up there"
"Okay, Kuya. Salamat"
Binaba ko na ang tawag at pinuntahan ulit si Macoy at Emily. Nakita kong nakatulog na si Emily sa balikat ng Kuya niya and Macoy is just staring at the wall. I cleared my throat at lumuhod ako sa harapan niya and held his hands. I saw him looking at me so I smiled at him
"Uuwi muna ako, okay? My parents are worried, I will be back and I will come back. You're so brave, Macoy. Message me right away if something happens, okay? I love you" tumayo na ako at bibitawan na ang kamay niya ng higpitan niya ito
"Thank you, Navreen. I love you, too" saad niya as a tear fell on his cheek. I leaned in so I can wipe it away and kiss his cheek
He slowly let go of my hand kaya tumalikod na ako. I glance over my shoulder as I walk and I saw him looking at my way. Umiwas na ako ng tingin at naglakad na paalis, baka bumalik lang ulit ako pag nakita ko siyang ganoon. I need to settle with my parents first
Dumating naman kaagad si Kuya kaya sumakay na ako ng kotse niya. The drive was silent kaya napayuko ako at napansin na nalagyan ng dugo ang puting shirt ko. Hinawakan ko ito at napakagat sa pang ibabang labi
"You fought well, Michael" I whispered to myself and silently wipe my tears away
Pagkarating ko sa bahay sinalubong kaagad ako ni Mommy at Dad. I was about to explain but my mother already slap me
