CHAPTER 57: THE REAL STORY BEHIND

CHAPTER 57

LEIGHTON WAJEEEH

'That school... that LSA really did this!'

'Sila ang nasa likod ng mass suicide kanina. Kailangan mong iwasan ang tinatawag nilang eye piece.'

'Join our saint, join our saint...'

'Another Leonard's family! Sahara Kim and Nikolina Eun-ji Kim-Villaluz!'

I REPEATEDLY shook my head because of the voices and scenes that keeps flashing into my mind. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari. My eyes are still close and all I could feel is the soft sheet behind my back.

'Wait, you forgot to introduce me! I am also a Villaluz! Also a son of Leonard Villaluz! I am Blaze Villaluz! And I am here to kill all of you!'

'Leigh is not Leonard's son. He's not a Villaluz. Anak naming siya ni Fred. K-Kaya huwag mo siyang idamay dito.'

'I am Zhavira. S-Sorry, L-Leigh... for everything.'

'Die!'

'Leigh, anak. Kapit ka lang nang m-mahigpit.'

And the next scene happened went black.

Napabalikwas agad ako sa pagkahiga dahil sa mga naalala ko. Sumakit ang ulo ko at napatulala ako sa apat na sulok ng kwartong ito. My eyes suddenly turned teary and my hands started to tremble because...

I remember everything now.

Everything.

The clock on the wall says it's already 12 midnight. Naalala ko na nawalan ako ng malay kanina dahil sa sobrang sakit ng ulo ko na parang pinipiga nang malakas. Agad akong tumayo at naisipang lumabas kasi parang masu-suffocate ako sa loob. I just need to process everything---every depths of my past.

Madilim ang sala pagkalabas ko. Walang tao at ang tahimik ng paligid. Dahan-dahan akong umupo sa sofa dahil parang bumigat ang nararamdaman ko. I wanted to wake Yuna and Eun-ji up. I wanted to talk to them to say to them that I remember now. Ngunit parang may pumipigil sa akin.

I heaved a sigh and started to fit the puzzles together. Kung paano ako napunta sa probinsiyang Saka. Kung bakit ako nagka-amnesia. I remember that I fell off the cliff and before my consciousness fades, I saw tito Fred tried to help me but I heard gunshots causing him to break his tight grip. Tito Fred, whom my mother said my father.

I wanted to asked that to my mom. But... is she still alive?

Ang nakita ko lang kanina ay si Yuna, Eun-ji, tita Sahara, Lice, Oharra, at Kiera. Kumabog nang mabilis ang puso ko dahil sa masamang kutob ko. The last time we saw each other was with Blaze. P-Pinatay ba ni Blaze si m-mommy? S-Si tito Fred?

Mayamaya ay narinig kong bumukas ang pintuan. I did not bother to look who it was kasi nakita ko kaagad ang reflection niya sa maliit na salamin sa gilid kahit na madilim ang paligid. At saka ramdam ko ang malakas na presensiya niya.

"I remember everything now." Sabi ko kaagad. I knew it was tita Sahara.

I do really appreciate her for saving me from Saka---from those people who killed the people who took care of me for three years: Puferto and Teresa. I wonder how's their body now. I hope Lou Yin helped them have proper funeral. I really felt pity and guilty for their death. It's really my fault.

I shall go back there, I promise.

Then suddenly, I heard a voice that I did not expect.

"L-Leigh?"
