Mati's POV

Napabalikwas ako ng tayo mula sa pagkakaupo sa sofa nang makitang dahan-dahang nagmulat ng mga mata si Mafi na ilang oras ko ng tinitingnan. Natataranta kong kinalabit si Sandwich na inaantok na habang nakaupo rin sa sofa. Nagmamadali akong lumapit sa gilid ng kama ni Mafi.

Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin. His eyes are now opened. Roaming around the white ceiling of the hospital room.

"'Ya 'Ating..." Sandwich whispered.

Pero hindi siya nilingon ni Mafi. Nanatiling nakatulala si Mafi-boy sa puting kisame. At ang maamo niyang hitsura pagkagising ay dahan-dahang naglaho. Unti-unting kumunot ang noo niya na para bang mayroong nakikitang pangyayari sa kisame. He slowly shake his head. And then tears makes his eyes glitters.

"Mafi..." I hold his arm as his both hand clutched in to a fist.

"H-hindi." He gritted his teeth. "Hindi. Hindi! Hindi! Hindi! HINDI!" He instantly move in anger. Pilit niyang sinusuntok ang hinihigaan kasabay ng pagtulo ng mga luha niya. Sandwich and I tried to stop him.

"Mafi-boy! Mafi! Mafi! Calm the fuck down!"

"Kuya! Kuya!"

"HINDI! HINDI! HYUNG, HINDI!" He shouted as I become oblivious at what he is talking about. He cried so hard as he can't look me straight in my eyes. He looks more than wasted. He looks... Damn wasted. "No... No! No! Hyung, I-I-I s-saved him! I saved him! Hyung! Tell me! TELL ME THAT I SAVED HER OLD MAN! I SAVED CHAIRMAN! I SAVED THAT WRINKLED OLD MAN!" Napaatras si Sandwich sa narinig at namuo ang mga luha sa mga mata niya. My tears just immediately fall.

Mafi tried to move up. Sinalubong ko siya habang patuloy siya sa pag-iyak. He is punching himself so hard. He is hitting me in the process but I stand my ground. Hugging my brother tight, trying to stop him.

"Mafi..." My voice cracks.

"I... I saved him... Hyung, please, I saved him. Tell me I'd saved him..." He begs.

'I should be happy that you're back, Mafi-boy... But this shattered my heart. Looks like you're still coping up... You can transcend in here, utol. Darn it. You stop crying, Mafi-boy.'

Nahihirapang iproseso ng isip ko ang naririnig ng mga tenga ko. Napakalapit ng pag-iyak niya sa akin. Ito ang sakit na iniiwasan ko noong mga panahong pinili kong hayaan siyang makaalala ng kusa. Sakit na akala ko pwedeng iwasan. Sakit na akala ko ayos lang na kalimutan.

But it just happened that things are written this way. In an inevitably way. This lives of ours sucks!

"Mianhe, Mafi... Mianhe... (Sorry)." I whispered in his ears while hugging him. He shake his head continuously while whispering curses and disagreement.

"No. No. No! No! Damn it! Damn it! I am stupid! I am an idiot! Moron! Simpleton! Weak! Fuck you, Em! Fuck you! You're a fucking weak, Em! Coward! Coward! Shiit! Bullshit!"

"Mafi, please! Calm down!" I hug him tight as I tried to stop him. Nagmamadaling lumabas si Sandwich ng senyasanan kong tumawag ng nurse. Mafi still try to hurt himself.

Pero hindi na ito dahil may sakit siya. Hindi na dahil may iniinda siyang pisikal na sakit. Almost one week sleeping because of that accident is enough. Siniguro ng mga doktor na ayos na ang lagay niya. At nang makalabas siya sa ER ay agad kong pinaluwas si Doctor Xhaun para tingnan siya. But the doctor wants him awake, too, to check him. Ilang araw na kaming naghihintay na gumising siya.

And now that he's awake... I guess I don't need Doc Xhaun's findings anymore.

"Hyung, I am begging! Please! Save him! Save him! I need that old man! Hyung! Please! I need him! Clumsy needs him! A-ayokong umiyak si Clumsy. Ayokong masaktan siya dahil sa kahinaan ko! Ayokong masaktan siya! Damn it, Hyung! I can't bare seeing her crying just because of my stupidity and cowardice!"
