Our Love On Spring

Chapter 33

tw: accident; driving under the influence of alcohol

JIRO

I sarcastically laughed. I looked at the bottle of alcohol I was holding. Pang-ilang bote ko na ba 'to? Napailing na lang ako af mahinang natatawa.

I get up on my seat and pull out the cash for my bills. Pang-ilang linggo na ba akong pabalik-balik sa club na 'to?

I can't walk straight but I need to go home na. I forcefully shot my eyes as I suddenly felt the dizziness and headache. I can hear a woman asking for a dance.

"Shut the fuck up."

Agaran na rin akong lumabas ng club na 'yon. Before I enter my car, my phone ring. I can't clearly see who it was and just answered it.

"Where the hell are you, Jiro?"

When I knew kanino 'yong boses, agad akong tumawa nang malakas. "Oh my! What's with the sudden call, my pretty sister?"

"What the!? Are you drunk, Jiro? Why are you drinking?"

Natatawa kang ako habang binubuksan ang pinto ng kotse ko. I can hear how Ate Saki gasps.

"And you're driving? Stay there, Jiro. Susunduin kita. You can't dri—"

"I can drive, ate." I am laughing while going out of the parking lot. I am still laughing like crazy. "Ate... you remember that woman?"

"W-what woman? Jiro, I swear huwag ka magdrive—"

"That woman..." para akong kinikiliti because I kept on laughing. "Who left me. I was jealous then... then it was her twin all along." I laughed hardly, "can you believe that, ate? She told me to always remember... she loves me."

"Jiro, I swear. Bumaba ka na diyan, ihinto mo 'yan at susunduin kita."

Umiling ako kahit hindi niya ako nakikita. I was slowly blinking because I started getting sleepy. Tinry kong ilagay sa ohone holder 'yong cellphone ko pero hindi ko masuksok nang maayos.

"What's that noise, Jiro?!"

Probably from my phone. "Nothing, ate. It's just my phone."

I squint my eyes so I can see the phone holder. I unconsciously looked at the road again when I saw some blinding lights. It happened so fast, I don't know what should I do. Iniwas ko ang kotse sa poste pero huli na ang lahat.

A loud thud was heard all of the place. Parang may matinis na tunog akong narinig sa tainga. It is as if I am losing my hearing. Agad akong napasandal sa likod ng kotse ko. Fortunately for me, the airbag stopped me from coming out from the window. It is a great impact, it feels like the airbag was kinda useless.

"Tsk," I can't move my body. I forcefully shut my eyes. There and then, I can feel burning pain at my left arm.

Before everything went black, I can hear my sister's horrified shout.

"Caster Jiro!"

SANYA

Everytime the wind chimes makes a sound, napapalingon ako sa pumapasok. As usual, I'll end up sighing in disappointment. I didn't work for a month... hindi ako pumunta dito.

Guilt devoured me.

I heard someone sigh beside me. It was Peyton. I sigh alongside my twin.

"He visited several times here."

I gasps as my eyes widen. Napalingon ako ulit kay Peyton. Pero wala na, e.
