CHAPTER 13

Good Terms?

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Decompressive Craniectomy. A surgical procedure performed to relieve increased intracranial pressure by removing a portion of the skull.

"Have you heard? Kanina lang 6pm natapos ang operation. 50% ang survival rate and they took the risk instead of doing nothing. I doubt he'll wake up soon tho," sambit ko at isinara ang isang libro ng comics na hawak ko. "I mean, your brother's in coma for 6 years because of that incident. Nabagsakan ba s'ya ng kisame sa ulo kaya hindi na s'ya nagising?" Napatawa nalang ako. Ako ang naiinip sa rebelasyon ng pamilya nila.

Napatingin ako sa kanya na busy sa pagpapaikot ng ballpen sa mga daliri n'ya habang nakatingin sa hour glass na nasa desk. Knowing him, ginagawa n'ya lang ang kaweirduhang ito kapag malalim ang iniisip n'ya.

Teka, wala na bang ibang babasahin dito? This jerk's a nerd. A crazy nerd. Hindi ko naman s'ya kilalang mahilig sa mga ganitong comics na halos punuin na ang bookshelves n'ya.

Kanina lang natapos ang operasyon at nasa ICU na si Dk ngayon para sa intensive rehabilitation. It was Samuel who performed the decompressive craniectomy on him. Namamaga na raw kasi ang utak kaya kinakailangang operahin and that's also the reason why Zeik's dying to beg his Dad to perform this operation.

But that's insane, I highly doubt Samuel's success rate on that one. Kung successful man, I think I'll worship him for life.

"Hey, say something," ani ko bago s'ya binato ng lighter na sinalo naman n'ya kaagad.

"Do you think it's time?" Narinig kong tanong n'ya.

"Malay ko. I don't have a watch with me," sagot ko naman.

Mukha ba kong si bathala para malaman kung oras na n'ya?

"That's the reason I don't wanna say anything to you, stupid." Nag-igting ang panga ko sa narinig. Aba. "I heard one of your men got captured by Lace, is that true?"

Nalunok ko nalang ang laway ko sa gulat. Paano namang nakarating kaagad sa kanya ang balita? Lagot na naman ako neto. Bakit ba kasi puno ng mga tanga at walang kuwenta ang mga tauhan ko? Pati tuloy ako madadamay sa katangahan nila.

"Pinasundan ko yung tauhan ni Lace but he's so stupid he got caught. He doesn't know anything about you yet so don't worry," paliwanag ko kaagad pero alam kong hindi sapat iyon. He'll still think I failed again. "Galit ka ba?" Tanong ko habang nagpapikit-pikit sa kanya.

Nakakahiya man but I need to calm him down before he shoots me in the head.

Tangina neto a. Pagkatapos ko kasing magpa-cute ay tiningnan n'ya akong parang nandidiri sa pinaggagawa ko.

"Do you want to die? I told you to leave them alone at mag-focus sa trabaho mo. Lace's not skilled enough to be able to find me," sermon n'ya.

"Sabi ko nga tatahimik na," kaagad kong izi-nip ang bibig ko at naupo ng maayos.

I highly doubt rin naman na kaya n'ya akong barilin nalang bigla ngayon. I know my worth to him.

We've been together for almost 9 years, I guess? Una n'ya pa akong nakasama at nakatrabaho bago pa man n'ya makilala ang assistant n'ya noon na pinaka pinagkakatiwalaan n'ya. It's so unfortunate that guy really died during that incident tho. I thought it was also part of their play.
