"Ma'am I'm sorry but you can't go inside.. "
My eyes burned. Pakiramdam ko may nagbabaon ng kung ano sa dibdib ko't pilit 'yong tinatadtad.. I slowly let go of the cold stretcher and watched the people close the door as they take Criane with them.
"K-Kyne.. " I whispered. He hugged me and caressed the back of my head. "I-It's my fault.. K-Kasalanan ko, Kyne.. " I uttered in between sobs.
"It's none of your fault, Norine.. I-It's not okay but it will be.. " he murmured and calmed me down more.
My lips didn't stop quivering, blood.. There was blood. Tons of blood! Na.. Nalulunod si Criane sa sarili niyang dugo.. She was bleeding.. Because I was mean to her. That was because of me.
I clenched on my drenched shirt and cried more.. Only.. If I became more sensible. A bit.. Kinder to her yesterday.
"C-Criane.. S-Si Criane.. " I wept repeatedly. Kyne hugged me tighter and stayed there for me. "C-Criane's.. Not okay.. She not o-okay.. "
"She will be okay, Norine," he murmured and kissed me again and again. I don't know how to calm down. I don't know how to cut the trembling. The aching of my heart.. I don't know how to do it.
"I-I need to call her parents.. I need to call them.. " I sobbed and put my phone out. Hindi ko alam kung ilang beses kong nabitawan ang telepono ko bago ko tuluyang natawagan sila Auntie Carmela.
They didn't pick up.
Once. Twice. I called them five fucking times.. Hindi nila sinasagot. Walang sumasagot.
"W-Why aren't they answering the damn phone!" I shouted and grabbed my hair. I felt Kyne stare at me helplessly. I walked back and forth and waited for them to pick-up.
Wala pa ring sumasagot. No fucking answers.. My.. Cousin's on the verge of death and all they do is miss my damn phone calls.. With pounding heart and shaking lips I tried to contact other people.
"H-Hello?" my voice shook.
"Ate Norine? What's the matter?" tanong ng lalaki sa kabilang linya.
"Constantine.. Y-You know how to call your Dad or Mom? C-Can you ask them to be here?"
"Where? What's the matter? Why are you trembling? Did something bad happen?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong. I shook my head and pulled my hair more. The tears didn't stop.. The emptiness didn't disappear.
"C-Can you just tell them to be here in St. Raphael? P-Please, Stan.. Please tell them to be here.. "
"O-Okay.. Calm down, Ate.. " anya. Mabilis akong umiling at binaba ag tawag naming dalawa. I dialed Mommy's number.. I hope.. I hope they answer. I hope she answers.
Because if she doesn't I will go nuts. I will lose my mind.
"Eleanor.. " tawag ni Kyne at pilit akong hinahatak palapit sa kaniya. "Calm down.. Calm do-"
"I can't calm down!" sigaw ko. I let go of my hair and let my face be occupied with hot tears. "I-I can't.. C-Criane's there! And.. I have no idea if she will be fine, Kyne!" I sobbed and held loose of my phone..
The broad daylight.. Is losing its ray.
"I-I'm sorry.. " he muttered and gulped. Suminghap ako't tinalikuran siya. I can't be around people at this state.. I am covered with blood, I am drenching on it. I called Mommy and my heart jumped when she picked up the call at the first ring.
"M-Mommy.. " mabilis kong iyak. "M-Mommy, help.. " I called her again.
"Princess?" she softly asked. Her voice brought enlightenment to my system. Mabilis bumuhos ang mga luha mula sa mga mata ko, I sat on the cold chair. "Where are you? Why do you need help, Elle?"
