Chapter 14 - Behind Scars

Chapter Fourteen | Behind Scars
Jin Revamonte's Point of View

Nagsitayuan ang balahibo ko nang marinig ko ang boses ni Damn, I looked at the clock. It's already ten in the evening, "Anong problema?" I asked Damn, Damn was chasing his breath on the other line. My hands were trembling when I heard his husky voice on the other line, May kutob kasi akong may masamang nangyari sa kaniya. But I am hoping he's safe.

"I need you." He silently uttered on the other line. He was literally chasing for his breath, he was breathing hard.

"Teka. Paki-ulit nga, anong problema?" Tanong ko ulit sa kaniya, napatayo ako mula sa pagkakahiga sa kama. "Damn, ba't ka naghahabol ng hininga?"

"Please, Jin. I need you." I heard him beg in a statement that can break my heart. His voice and how he said those words really affected me, and as fast as I can. I hurriedly pulled out my trench coat and wore it while my phone is still on my hands.

"Saan ka?" Tanong ko dito.

"You know where our house is right?" Tanong nito sa akin, "Please come." Dagdag pa nito. Kaya hindi na ako nag-dalawang isip pa at bumaba na ng apartment ko at sumakay ng taxi papunta sa bahay nila.

Alam ko naman kung saan located ang bahay nila, alam ko lang naman ang address ngunit hindi pa ako nakarating doon. Pero ang sabi sa akin ni Damn is may Saval na name na naka embossed sa gate nila, But I didn't know that It'll lead me to a mansion next to the rice field where me and Damn had a heart to heart talk.

I rang the doorbell, I saw a man maybe in his late 40s already. He looks like Damn but the neater version of Damn Saval, and I'm guessing, He must be Damn's Father. He opened the gates for me, "Hello. Who is this?" He cordially asked me as he approached me with all smiles.

"Si Damn po?" Tanong ko naman sa kaniya.

"You mean my son?"  He raised a brow. Hindi nga ako nagkamali ng kutob, He's Damn's father. I just nodded. "Are you Jin Revamonte?" Tanong nito ulit sa akin. "It's been awhile." Ngumiti ulit ito sa akin, "Damn's inside his room." He added. "Just take the stairs and when you see a door with a keep out sign, that's his room." Mabait na utos sa akin ng Dad ni Damn atsaka pinapasok ako sa loob ng bahay nila.

"Thank you po." Sabi ko sa kaniya. Pero may bumabagabal sa isip ko, it's been awhile? I haven't seen his Dad before. Alam kong administrator and dad ni Damn ng school namin, but I've never seen his Dad before sa school. I'm pretty sure na siya lang siguro 'yong nakakita sa akin.

So, I had no choice but to take the stairs at hinanap  ang kwarto ni Damn. Tsakto naman na sa una ko palang na tapak sa sahig. Nakita ko na nga ang sign na may Keep Out. Agad akong kumatok sa pintuan, only to see Damn in his boxers. His eyes, were gazing downward.

Damn.

He's much hotter than the previous nakedness I've seen of him. His body became even hotter dahil sa ilaw mula sa bintana nito, God I am flabbergasted by the fact that he become so hot. Fck fck fck. HOT. I'm trying to avoid redundancy but, I can't help it.

Hoy Jin Gaga! Keep yourself together Jusko!

But aside from his hotness, I saw some scars in his upper torso, so I reached out to him to ask, "What happened?" Worried as a mother, I asked him this question every worried people would ask.

"Oh this?" Turo niya sa mga bakas ng sugat sa katawan nito. "Wala 'to." Sabi pa niya, so I raised a brow at him. There's something suspicious going around. I stared at his eyes for a minute, did Damn just cry? But still, he managed to smile at me.

What?

Kasi nga alalang-alala ako sa kaniya, sinabi kong "Pasok nga ako. Akala ko ba you need me?" ginaya ko ang tono ng pagsasalita niya kanina, I observed him as he scratch his nape. He looked at the other direction.

"Yeah. I badly need you." He pulled me close to him and hugged me so tight inside and closed the door, and locked it. He's already squeezing me to death which made me choke. So, he let go of me as soon as he heard me choke. "Okay na ako dahil nandito ka na." he assured me.

"Seriously Damn. What happened?" My brows were starting to form into thick V lines. He just gave me a confused look, but behind that look I know there's something deep hidden in there.

Nakita kong may nakalagay na blade sa higaan niya, there were blood stains in the sheets too. So it made me really worried, with what he did. Hinila ko ang kamay niya, only to see a slit quite near to his wrist. It was still a fresh cut, and I was about to pull it again when he pulled it out from me.

"Wala lang 'to." Seryoso nitong sinabi sa akin, nakatingin sa ibang direksiyon. Hinila ko siya ulit, but this time, by his neck and looked at him directly in the eyes.

"Tell me." I said. I cried. I don't know why, but because I don't know why. I just don't know. I don't really know why, why?

Shit.

Even I don't know why.

"Hush." He softly said, he caressed my cheeks and dried my tears off. "Please don't cry, 'di ko gustong nakikita kitang ganyan." He added.

"Mas lalo hindi kita gustong nakikitang sinasaktan ang sarili mo." I yelled at him, I want him to know that I hate seeing him hurt himself. I hate seeing him this way.

Alam kong kilala ko na si Damn, almost tatlong buwan na rin na kilala ko na siya. But I still don't know na may ganito palang ugali si Damn.

He hurt himself.

I still have a lot to know about him and I need to save this guy from killing himself.

"Why would you do this?!" Kinuha ko ang mga gamit na nakalagay sa ibabaw ng higaan atsaka tinapon ito sa basurahan.

Umupo lang si Damn sa kaniyang higaan. Sakto namang may nakita akong puting panyo at alcohol na nakapatong sa mesa ng kwarto niya, agad ko itong pinunit at saka binuhusan ng alcohol ang mga sugat niya. I didn't hear him react to what I did abruptly. Instead he gave me a quick smile, no a painted smile. Ang ngiti bang hindi ma-alis.

"Damn. Sagutin mo ako. Hindi ka naman pipi. Please, Hindi ko gustong nakikita kitang ganito just please, tell me." Sabi ko sa kaniya, while treating all his wounds. Linisan ko muna ang mga sugat nito at saka tinakpan ng puting panyo.

I pity him so much.

"Im tired Jin." Humiga siya sa higaan niya nang natapos kong linisan ang katawan nito.

"Bakit naman?"

"Palagi kong naiisip 'yong bata sa aking pagtulog. I often wake up thinking of him, and I hate it."

"Damn. That's a good news, Nakaka-recover ka na. Then you'll remember him! You'll remember the boy!"

"No!" He yelled at me.

"Bakit naman?" Tanong ko dito.

"I want to think of you always Jin." Hinila niya ako papalapit sa kaniya at niyakap ulit.

"Damn, I don't want to see you hurt yourself just because you want to think of me, ayaw kong ako lang palagi ang nasa isip mo, maganda din sana na ganiyan. But still, I am afraid I'll be a ruin to you."

Hindi niya pinakinggan ang sinabi ko. "I always hurt myself, because I am afraid, takot akong ma-alala ko ulit siya."

"So that explains the scars you always have." Tumingin siya sa ibang direksyon.

"Y-yes." Nauutal nitong sinabi at umiwas ng tingin. Hinarap ko siya, "Why would you do that?"

"Because I believe, if I let out a pain. It'll fade out easily, but no, mas na-aalala ko pa siya."

"You can tell me. Tell me about it. Tell me more."
