Unholy Halo

Epilogue

"TALK to your sister. She hasn't come out yet since that day." Rinig nyang bulungan sa labas ng kwarto nya. It's been weeks since the fire happened and they all went home. She was eating from time to time whenever no one's around the house. She just doesn't want them to ask more questions about how she was and what her plan is because clearly she doesn't plan anything yet and was not okay.

Nakatira sakanila si Yumi ngayon pero iniiwasan nya ang bata, she knew to herself that the moment she talk to Yumi. She'll drop the bomb to her and hurt her feelings as much as she's hurting right now. She knew Yumi's mom would never come back and that person is one of the suspects of the fire. Her whole disappearance was a mystery to everyone.

"She needs time. You know how much pain she was holding right now, mom." Time wasn't even moving right now for her. Like how she never moves from her bed except when no one's home. Even though the clock was ticking. Her body and mind couldn't feel it. She was a total numb in pain and if she talked about it, she knew for sure that she'll explode just like how those bombs exploded in the whole academy.

Two days after the incident the investigator told them that they found something in every single building in that school and they assumed that it was a time bomb. Who could possibly do that knowing that there's a lot of life in that academy? People with a money that could provide that kind of expensive exploding mechanism? Perhaps, people that has a huge motive and anger toward the school. She don't know for sure. She just got lucky that Sabrina wasn't inside the school before it explode.

Day passes so fast and she still couldn't face her family. She was like a mice that was hiding from cats. For how many days she couldn't even know. She didn't even know what day is it right now or what things happened outside. She could hear them talking sometimes but she doesn't care anymore. Even if she force herself to stand up and do something in her life. She just couldn't seem to see the motivation to do so. The only thing she could do was washing herself, sleeping, reading and crying every single fucking day.

"She still didn't grab her food?" Rinig nyang tanong ni Daddy Eric mula sa labas. They were calling her and putting foods in front of her door but she never took it. Never even got a chance to open the door for them or just speak back when they been talking to her.

"She's been there for almost a month now. I was worried that something might happen to her if she wouldn't come out even once." Sagot ng nanay nya. Her mom and Daddy Eric was about to get married again but they postponed it because of her and things that happened. She should be guilty for that right? But she's not. They could've continue it without her.

She scoot over as she heard a knock from her door. She could easily pretend to be asleep if they ever open that door. "Sweetie. Your record from that school just come out, We could enroll you to a different school sooner." What's the point? She doesn't know what to do to her life now, kaya para saan pa at mag aaral pa sya ulit.

"We could enroll you to the same school as Erica want to study." Walang salita ang lumabas sa bibig nya at hinayaan lang ang mga itong magsalita mula sa labas ng kwarto nya. Kahit anong sabihin ng mga ito, wala na talaga syang nakikitang dapat nyang gawin sa buhay nya. 13 persons died in that accident and she wish right now that she was one of them.

"Maybe Sabrina could help us. I'll talk to her father tomorrow morning." Sabrina? Agad syang bumangon sa pagkakahiga nang marinig ang pangalan nito. They couldn't tell Sabrina her situation right now. She couldn't ruin Sabrina's life right now.
