Ghost Hunting
JAMMY
I could hear the rhythmic pattern from the oxygen gas going in and out of a tube connected in me….
Wait! What?!
Napabalikwas ako ng bangon sa napagtanto.
“Jammy! Finally, you woke up,” alalang turan ni Eloise sa'kin.
I'm currently lying on a white spotless bed. Nasa tabi ko sina Eloise at Sheila na tila'y alalang-alala sa kalagayan ko. “Wait. Where am I?” I asked.
“Narito ka sa Mnemosyne Clinic. Nang dinala ka nila Gab dito, you're still unconscious,” Eloise responded.
“Where's Denver? Is he okay?”
“Yeah, gising na rin siya kahapon pa. Pero ikaw, you've been asleep for a total of 3 days,” sagot sa'kin ni Eloise.
“Austin reported us the incident you guys were in. Grabe kayo! Anong klaseng bakasyon ba yun, huh? Muntik na kayong mamatay!” pagalit namang turan ni Sheila.
Naalala ko bigla ang mga nangyari bago ako mawalan ng malay, it was Gabriel who saved us. “I'm sorry guys, we haven't realized that those freaking bastards were all using fake identities. Thanks to Gabriel, we're all saved,” sagot ko.
“Do you have any idea, Jammy, that Alex and Gabriel were foes?” bahagyang naningkit ang mata ni Eloise sa sinabi.
“W-what do you mean?” I asked in confusion.
“Ang dalawang yun! Parehong leader ng gang sa SSPSC. Magkaaway ang grupo ng dalawa! Balak pa nga atang ipamana ang pagiging basagulero nila dito sa Mnemosyne, eh.” Nagmistula namang nanay si Sheila sa pagsagot sa tanong 'ko. Pano ba naman kasi, nakapameywang pa kung magsalita.
Umiling ako sa kanya. “I-I don't know,” sagot ko.
Eloise eyes suddenly sparkled, and a bit of smile plastered on her goddess-like face. “Sila lang naman ang nagpatumba sa lahat ng labing apat na sangkot sa illegal exploration sa mga Japanese Shipwreck sa pinanggalingan niyong isla, Jammy. Yung pinsan mo? Ayun, nangangatog sa takot nang dumating dito. May trauma pa nga ata,” natatawa nitong turan. But the amazement on her facial expression was evident. “But, yep, your cousin is a kind of cute,” dagdag nito. Hayy naku, si Eloise, humaharot na naman.
Maya-maya pa'y pumasok ang isang lalaki sa room. Before it I knew, it was Gabriel na may kung anong tinatago sa likod nito.
“Hi, Jammy. How's your feeling?” he asked wearing a wide smile.
“I'm now feeling well, Gabriel. Salamat nga pala,” I responded bago ako ngumiti rito.
“No problem, Jammy. Anything for you.”
Iniabot niya sa'kin ang kanina pa nitong tago-tago sa likod. It's a box of chocolates and bouquet of flowers.
“For you, Jammy. Hope you like it,” he said bago nito iabot sakin ang dala-dala nito. I smiled at him before receiving those gifts.
