Chapter 5

Ken's POV

"Ayesha!" He immediately took Ayesha on his arms. Hindi na ito umiiyak but I doubt if she's really fine dahil hindi na ito nagsalita pa mula kanina.

"God! Bakit ka umuwi? Anong ginawa sayo ni mommy?" Natataranta niyang tinignan ang mukha nito at maging ang mga braso. And then he sighed in relief when he saw nothing.

Her brother looks so worried about her. Kanina palang when I called him, alalang alala na ito kay Ayesha. It sounded overacting lalo na nung malaman niyang lasing ang mommy nila, but when I saw how he hugged his sister, it felt like I was worried too.

"Magpahinga kana, I'll go buy some food outside. Ihahatid ko na rin si Ken." He kissed her forehead. Tumango naman ito sa kuya niya before she turned to look at me.

"Thank you Ken." I watch her eyes flicker to me.

I smiled. "It's okay, go to sleep." She reached out for a smile before she entered her bedroom. Sumunod ako sa kuya niya nang lumabas na ito ng condo.

"Thank you Ken, I'm glad you were there. I can't forgive myself if something bad happened again."

My forehead creased. "Again?"

He sighed. "Ayesha is too innocent to be blamed. Pero ilang beses na siyang nasaktan ni mommy .Last time, she was hospitalized dahil pinukpok siya nito ng bote sa ulo."

I clenched my fist unconciously. "She hit her? How can she do that?" Sa pagkakaalam ko, Dr.Alcantara is a nice person. I've met her in the hospital, siya yung doctor na huling nag-handle kay Kim, the one she asked a favor with. Anong nangyari sa kaniya?

"She's mentally ill."

Gusto ko sanang itanong kung bakit nagkaganoon ang mommy nila because I perfectly know she's well for the past few weeks we've been together. Pero alam kong wala ako sa lugar para usisain pa iyon.

I just can't believe she can hurt Ayesha like that. She looks so fragile and soft and alluring that I can't even imagine there's no mom who takes good care of her. I mean, everyone knows that she's a good person. Ofcourse I'll expect that she was raised by the warmth of good parents. How can she be so warm-hearted when her own mother had almost killed her?

"By the way, classmate ka ba niya?"

"Ah no, we're friends. Hindi siya naihatid ni Earl that's why I volunteered to."

"I just hope pwede ko ring ipagkatiwala sa'yo ang kapatid ko. I'm getting busier and no one can attend to her. I guess hindi ko naman pwedeng laging asahan si Earl."

"You can count on me."

"Guys! Hindi tayo pwedeng forever nalang na ganito! Ano ba naman kayo?" Larry retorted. She looks like a frustrated panda right now. The dark circles under her lashes makes her belong to those cute animals.

"Halos isang buwan na rin eh. Wake up people, we can't just mourn for the rest of our lives!"

"Pwede bang manahimik kang babae? You're not helping."

"And which one helps? Yang pagdadrama niyo everyday? Like hello Cuttie, double dead na si Kim dahil sa pag-eemote natin! Do you guys think she's happy right now?"

I just watch the two of them argue about ..moving on. Well, for me, it's not really that easy. But I think I just learned that I was really meant to let her go.
