TW: language, violence

I became paralyzed. Unable to move from what I saw. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Nararamdaman ko ang panlalamig ng katawan ko dahil sa nakita ko.

I saw Aya... headless. Nakita ko ang katawan niya na nasa sahig, naliligo sa sariling dugo. Mapapansin din na nawawala ang kaniyang kanang kamay. Sa bandang binti niya ay may naka-ukit na 'I am unloved'. Sarili niyang dugo ang nagsilbing tinta.

Her head... is missing.

"What the fuck?!" Isang malutong na mura ang narinig ko kay Hazel dahil sa nakita niya.

We heard a sudden scream coming  from the door and there, I saw Kyra. Her tears are coming down from her eyes.

"What did you do?!" She screamed. She let her emotion win and cried so hard. "Aria, who did this to you?!" Her knees fell down as she started to cry harder.

I saw Chescka at her back. Unable to talk. Nagulat sa mga nakita. I can read her. She's probably tryna sink the scenario in her head.

"What happened to you, Aya?" Kyra's in disbelief, habang wala pa ring hinto sa pag-iyak.

Dumating na ang ambulansya at mga pulis na tinawag ni Brey. Chescka forced Kyra to come with her. Kahit nahihirapan, sinunod pa rin nito ang kaibigan.

We all calm ourselves down, as Aya's body's being taken care by the medical team. Pumunta ako sa gazebo with my friends. All of us were still in shock. Our minds are unable to process everything.

"What the heck? Who did that?" Mikayla broke the silence. Minasahe niya ang sentido niya, she looked stressed.

"Sobrang cruel. Yes, ayoko sa ugali ni Aya pero hindi ko ma-imagine 'yung sinapit niya." Shane said.

"Nobody deserves to be killed like that. Kahit si Aya pa 'yan. Kahit sino pa 'yan." I said, naaalala ko ang scenario na nakita ko kanina. Cruel.

"I have no idea kung sino'ng pwedeng makagawa no'n. She or he's so heartless." Shane said.

"I can't imagine 'yung sinapit niya. I would never expect that to happen to her." Hazel said. "I mean, pinapatay ko na siya sa utak ko pero hindi ko namang akalaing ganiyan ang mangyayari."

"The world's getting cruel na talaga." Lueese said.

"Mikayla, tell us the truth!" Isang malakas na sigaw mula kay Kyra ang natanggap ni Mikayla.

"What truth?" Mikayla asked.

"Oh, come on. Don't act like you're dumb. I know you killed her. It came from your mouth na kaya mong pumatay, right?" Kyra said.

"'Yon 'yung basis mo, Kyra?" Mikayla scoffed in disbelief. "Tingin mo kaya kong gawin 'yon?!"

Kyra was probably in so much pain right now that's why she put a blame to others. Para mabawasan ang pain na nararamdaman niya.

"'Yon lang? H'wag ka ngang tanga! I know you're in pain but stop making dumb reason to blame others." Mikayla said. Her voice raised a bit, reason why I startled. "Napaka-bobo ng dahilan mo!"

"I am not making a 'DUMB' reason to blame you. Malay ko ba. Ikaw lang ang alam naming kaya gumawa no'n sa kaniya." Kyra said. "Masaya ka na ba ngayon? Wala na si Aya!"

"Are you still hearing yourself, Kyra? You are a Psychologist student and yet mas mukhang ikaw pa 'yung may kailangan ng atensyong medikal... sa utak." Lueese said.
