STRINGS [ A BINI AU SERIES #3 ]

Chapter 4: Ready, Set, Position

Gab's Pov.

Nasa condo nako, niligpit yung pang-three days kong gamit at nagpahinga kunti sa kama ko.

Dear Bed, I'll surely miss you.

I scrolled through my phone and saw that Coleen's account is active. Should I text her? Should I? Nagdadalawang-isip ako kasi nawalan kami ng communication and I'm kinda scared na baka hindi niya na ako kilala after what she went through.

Pero nevermind, Kuya Nikko's worried na kasi so I'll take the risks nalang.

To: Coleen Vergara

[ Hi Coleen, this is Gab, how are you? If you need someone, feel free to reply to my message... I'm just one call away, basta ikaw, Coleen. ]

From: Gab Apuli

I sighed and hoping she'll reply. Suddenly, Kuya Ian called me... Oh, I forgot to update him. Dali-dali akong umupo sa kama ko as I answered his call.

" Kuya Ian," Tawag ko, lumingon siya and did I just heard someone crying? Shit, si Amiah pala.

Napatayo ako at dali-daling kinuha yung gamit ko. Isang bag lang naman dala ko, isang chest bag for my phone and powerbank. Pinatay ko ang mga ilaw, I maked sure muna na nasa akin yung car key and when I did, I immediately closed the door ng condo ko.

" Kuya Ian, pasakay na ako ng car," Sambit ko at tumango lang siya. He's walking somewhere na hindi masyado maririnig yung iyak ni Amiah. Damn, that girl, she's worrying me.

" Good timing since activated na naman ang unstable mode niya," Sabi ni Kuya Ian as I heard some glasses shattered to pieces. " Don't worry about it, she's throwing things na makikita niya, you better hurry... " Dagdag pa niya.

" Pasukin mo kaya para mapigilan mo? " Suggest ko and he refused. " I already did that so many times and she'll keep shooshing me away, tignan mo kaya tong mga sugat ko dahil sa haba ng nails niya," Sagot ni Kuya Ian sakin. Now, I see why ayaw niya nang pumasok.

" You seem scared, Kuya Ian, takot ka sa kapatid mo? " Tanong ko and he sighed. " I'm not scared sakanya, I love Amiah, she's my sister after all... I'm scared on what she will do once her condition or let's say depression gets worsened," Kuya Ian stated and I sighed.

Nakababa na pala ako ng elevator at tumakbo diretso sa car ko. I put my bag at the back seat and immediately went to the front seat para makapag-drive ako agad. I put my phone sa stand and I start the engine.

Shit, di pa pala ako naka-chat kay Kuya Gian.

" Kuya Ian, I'll call you later once I'm near sa place niyo but try to calm Amiah and update me on what she's doing right now," Sabi ko at tumango nalang siya. I end the call and decided to chat Kuya Gian.
