"No. You're worthy, Kold."
I didn't exactly know what pumped my courage up at that moment for me to hug Kold. We've been friends for many years. We have embraced each other in a friendly hug from time to time. But at that time, something felt different.
I didn't know what that was, but I was sure of only one thing.
It felt right.
"Do not blame yourself for anything. What's done is done, and what's important is that I am now safe. I am with you."
I tightened my arms linked around his torso, pulling his body closer to mine, my cheek rubbing against his cotton shirt. Then I realized, Kold was indeed living up to his name.
His warmth was so difficult to feel. It was faint, like a water too scarce to find in a desert.
"I just... don't want you to be like them."
"Them?"
"My mom and sister."
I knew it. Hanggang ngayon, dala-dala pa rin niya.
"Kold..."
"I killed them."
The two most precious ladies in Kold's life had been sleeping eternally since he was a child. Maybe when he was eight or nine? Hindi ko rin sigurado. Pero tandang-tanda ko pa ang mga luhang pumatak sa walang kabuhay-buhay niyang mukha habang sinasabi sa aming tatlo nina Jasper at Chantal ang masaklap na kuwento ng pamilya niya.
Kold has two younger siblings, Kleison and Karrina. Kleison was a year younger than him, while Karrina was behind by four to five years.
They were a happy and complete family. Tito Wilson, Tita Kate, at silang tatlong magkakapatid.
Then one day, Karrina died.
Naglalaro raw silang tatlo noon, sabi ni Kold. Tapos naaksidente si Karrina at isinugod sa hospital, pero huli na ang lahat. Kold didn't elaborate what really happened, but he was the one who took the blame and carried a big bag of guilt over his shoulders.
The whole family was in a state of grieving. But particularly, Tita Kate was the most devastated. She didn't eat, she didn't sleep, and all she spent her time on was crying over Karrina's coffin.
Hindi na alam nina Kold ang gagawin.
Hindi na rin umabot si Tita Kate sa libing ni Karrina.
Wala pa ring sinabing specific si Kold noon. Basta ang sabi niya, he did something. May ginawa raw siyang naging dahilan ng pagkamatay ng Mommy niya.
Hanggang ngayon ay walang nakakaalam sa aming tatlo ng totoong nangyari. Hindi na rin namin kinausap si Kold tungkol do'n dahil sa totoo lang, napilitan lang siyang magkuwento sa amin noong una at ayaw na ayaw niyang pag-usapan ang pamilya niya.
