Nanatili akong gulat sa nasaksihan at nakabalik lang sa reyalidad nung may pumasok na security, doctors, at mga pulis sa loob ng kwartong sumabog.
Magulo na ang mga gamit. Nabasag din ang mga bintana at mga medical equipment dahil sa impact ng pagsabog.
Good thing we are still alive, but that was terrifying. I've seen worst than that but i just really can't shake of the the thought that it was a close call and almost a face-to-face death. I just can't grasp the situation and the fact that they used a civilian, I can't control my thoughts.. specially the trembling of my hands.
"Arilla!"
Napatingin ako sa mga kasamahan ko nang marinig ang sigaw ni Jeston.
I saw Jeston who is currently full of wounds, holding Arilla in his arms and Arilla is.. bleeding. Her nose is bleeding as well as the others. Greg was unconscious on the floor. Weishou was on the corner, coughing hard.
I don't understand. Halos pare-parehas lang kami ng distansiya mula sa pagsabog pero bakit ganon?
B-bakit.. galos lang ang nakuha ko?
After the police arrived, the medical staffs helped us to evacuate farther from the room. Inilipat kami sa kabilang building as well as the other patients just in case na may biglaan pang pagsabog or masunog bigla. I even saw people from the agency, assisting the officers.
"Miss, we need to check your vitals." I looked at Reivo, a nurse who's also working under the agency.
I simply nodded as a response while i kept looking at everyone. Nagsimula na rin silang asikasuhin ang mga kasamahan ko, but they were sent in another ward.
"My phone.. where's my phone?" I asked Reivo.
"Wala na, Virena. Kasama sa sumabog doon sa loob." Sagot nito na ikinabuntong hininga ko.
Mierda.
I have so many contacts in there. Luckily, i got back up devices.
"Your vitals are.. normal.. Completely normal." Mahinang sabi ni Reivo ngunit sapat lang para marinig ko. He sounded like he can't believe it.
"Paanong— I mean, how is that possible? Sumabog sa loob at yung mga kasama mo ay sugatan. Well, you're also wounded but not like them. Your wounds are much lighter than theirs." Kunot-noong sabi ni Reivo.
I'm also wondering and I have no answers for that.
"Just check on them, ako na bahala sa sarili ko," sabi ko pero hindi siya nagpatinag.
"You are the first one to be confined at madadagdag lang sila. Basically, you are also a patient so it's normal for me to attend to you. Every patient is important." He said in a matter of fact tone.
Sandali siyang umalis para kumuha ng first aid kit. Pagbalik niya ay naupo siya sa gilid ko bago nagsimulang gamutin ang mga galos ko.
"Boss won't be happy about this." Biglang sabi niya habang marahang ginagamot ang galos ko sa braso.
"Sino ba naman ang matutuwang masabugan, Rei?" Sarkastikong sambit ko at inilibot ulit ang paningin sa emergency room kung nasaan kami ngayon.
"I was talking about you and his other agents who are wounded as well. Hindi siya matutuwang malaman na muntik na mamatay sa pagsabog ang mga agents niya. Lalo na ngayon at mainit ang agency natin sa Bratva."
I nodded in realization. Ah, oo nga.
"Marami pa namang tao sa agency," sabi ko at inagaw sa kaniya ang bulak na may betadine.
After putting some betadine on the cotton ball, I softly damped my small wounds using it.
"But among the crowd, there are only a few that he trusted the most." Reivo said with his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.
Inagaw niya sa'kin ang bulak. "Akin na 'yan. Bida- bida ka, ikaw ba yung nurse sa'ting dalawa ha?" Sarkastikong sabi niya.
"Matanggalan pa ako ng trabaho pag may nakakitang ikaw ang gumagawa ng trabaho ko eh," he murmured.
Matapos niya akong bigyan ng paunang lunas may lumapit na doktor sa'kin at sinabing kailangan ko ng laboratory tests para masiguradong ayos lang ang lagay ko.
"You got a call," I looked at Reivo, who is currently handling me a smartphone that i can't distinguish tha brand anymore since most of smartphones looks the same.
Inabot ko ang cellphone mula sa kaniya at nakita ang caller ID na "unknown". I simply shot him a glare.
"Why are you making me answer unknown callers?" I mouthed to him, but the bastard only shrugged off his shoulders before walking away from me.
Itinapat ko sa tenga ko ang cellphone at pinakinggan muna ang nasa kabilang linya bago magsalita.
["Aze."]
Nailayo ko ulit sa tenga ko ang tenga pagkatapos makarinig ng malalim na boses mula dito.
["Aze, listen. We need you to come here in Spain or else all of us will be doomed."]
I heard slight hesitance in his voice. This familiar deep voice that I rarely hear but, somehow is carved inside my head.
["You must obey this order. Come here in Spain. We already have the equipments and you're the only one missing."] He said, like he's already sure that i'm going to Spain.
"Samael, you know that I can't just ditch my job here just to be there whenever you want, right?" Marahang sabi ko.
Delikado na, baka biglang mabwiset 'to at ipatapon ako sa disyerto.
["He already agreed, so worry no more. Come here the day after tomorrow. I'll have Jeremiel to come pick you up at exact two o'clock a.m. After you arrived here, you'll both go with Arkanghel."]
After that he just ended the call, like a nice guy he is.
I mentally rolled my eyes in annoyance. He randomly called and rudely hangs up.
Ewan ko ba sa mga tao ngayon. Kapag tumatawag wala man lang "hi" or "hello". Usually ang naririnig kong pambungad ay "Oh?" or "Bakit?" or "Anong kailangan mo?" and something like those.
Rude.
Napaisip naman ako nang maalala ang sinabi ni Samael sa akin. Pupunta daw ako ng Spain.
Sa Spain.. Sa bansang ayaw kong balikan.
Nananadya ba sila? Alam nilang bwiset na bwiset ako at kuhang- kuha ng Spain ang gigil ko tapos papupuntahin nila ako doon?
Ni- hindi man lang niya sinabi kung bakit at para saan ang pagpunta ko don. Tapos bawal pang tumanggi kasi utos at hindi rin ako makakatas dahil siguradong bantay sarado na ako ngayon.
Hindi ko naman maidadahilan ang agency dahil pinayagan na daw ako umalis pansamantala.
Feeling ko more like pansamantagal 'yon kesa pansamantala.
Sa lahat ng bansa.. bakit nga ba sa Spain pa?
