DU: FINAL

AMETHYST

Agad naming isinugod sa ER si Ezekiel dahil marami ng dugo ang nawala sa kanya.

"Doc, is my son will be alright?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Tita Yumi sa doktor.

"We can't say, but we'll all do our best to save him. Excuse me." sagot ng doktor at agad na pumasok don sa Emergency room.

Umupo kami sa upuan para hintayin na lumabas ang doktor para sa resulta.

Hinagod hagod naman ni Shane ang likod ni tita Yumi. "Relax, tita. Ezekiel is going to befine." pagpapakalma nya.

"I-I couldn't help it, Shane. This happened 3 times, and y-yet... hindi ko parin kayang kumalma." hikbi ni tita Yumi.

Wait, 3 times? Does it mean na nangyari na ito kay Ezekiel?

"W-what do you mean 3times tita?" tanong ko

Pinunasan nya muna ang luhang dumadaloy sa mukha nya bago sumagot.

"Noong bata pa si Ezekiel, he got traumatized because of the incident happened 23 years ago, Ezekiel was  5 while I was still 29. It was our family day, natatandaan ko pa ang mga ngiti nya noong pumunta kaming pamilya sa park since all day busy kami ni Xander (asawa ni Yumi) sa trabaho. Xander was a police and I was a Inspector that time. Minsan lang kami magka-bonding together. Exequiel, Ezekiel's twin was with her lola and lolo he's sick that's why he can't be with us. On our family day, an unexpected incident happened..." biglang huminto si tita Yumi sa pagkwe-kwento at biglang umiyak.

"... Ezekiel was shot... near his stomach while Xander my husband... been shot... at the heart, really straight from the heart. He was protecting me, wala akong sugat only Ezekiel and Xander
Supposed to be ako dapat ang mabaril instead of Ezekiel, but I was shocked ng biglang pumauna si Ezekiel sakin. His words... their words... I remember, Ezekiel told me. "I..I don't want you to be hurt... again, m-mom." watching him saying that while blood keep flowing from his mouth, I was touched pagkasabay noon umiyak ako. Then when I looked at Xander, he was smiling at me, then he said. "I-I'm sorry... for... hurting you, Yumi... I know I shouldn't cheat at you, but I did... I-I hurt the girl who meant everything to m-me.. I'm s-sorry... I-I l-love y-y-you..." then his eyes closed... I cried harder. And I shout for help, and then I saw Louie papunta sa direksyon ko, he was worried but I can't see him clearly. Blood splatters everywhere at my dress, I heard Louie keep saying something to me, but I can't hear anything... Para akong mapipi, hindi maintindihan kung anong nangyayari. Until everything blacked out. And when I wake up... Ezekiel was still on a bad condition, he was comatose. But Xander... he died... he died saving me... us..." umiiyak na sabi ni tita while may tumutulo ng luha sa mukha ko.

I just can't believe that in his early age 5 year old... He experience to be shot by a gun, at maagang nawalan ng ama. Yet his still here... fighting for his life.

"B-but tita... bakit? Bakit nangyari yon?" tanong ko

"On our family day... Me and Xander was still in a mission, pero bigla kaming nag back out sa misyon na iyon para lang kay Ezekiel. I wasn't told of the place kung saan gaganap ang mission na iyun, but I didn't expect na it was on a park... kung saan nandoon din kami. The Suspect was Ejii Wemley, a top druglord. He was a well known business man, and... he's my highschool admirer..." My eyes widened.

Highschool... admirer?!

"What do you mean, tita Yumi?" tanong ni Shane.

"Posible kayang... rume-revenge sya sayo?" sabi ko naman.

Umiling si tita bago sumagot. "No, ng nalaman kong sya yung admirer ko. I make him stop, dahil may boyfriend na ako noon. He was sad, angry, yet he understand me and tumigil na sya. Years later, me and Xander are engaged, and nabalitaan ko nalang na may girlfriend na sya, balak nya ngang magpropose sa babaeng yun. Until nawalan na ako ng connection sa kanila, hanggang sa nanganak na ako which is Exequiel and Ezekiel, nalaman kong isa palang Druglord si Ejii, and a Mafia Leader." I was so shocked aa mga nalalaman ko ngayon.

Kung hindi nga revenge, eh ano ang dahilan ni Mr Eji Wemley para balak patayin sila tita Yumi and tito Xander together with Ezekiel and Ezequiel? Dahil ba police si tito Xander at Inspector naman si tita Yumi?

It is possible na dahil sa mga posisyon na meron sila tita at tito since Ejii Wemley are top most wanted druglord plus a mafia leader. And tita and tito hunts him. At ayaw siguro ni Ejii Wemley na mahuli sila ni tito kaya he ordered someone to kill them at the time na may mission sila which is connected sa kaso nila.

"Eh nahuli din po ba si Ejii Wemley?" tanong ko

"No, his alive... He has a son and a daughter. Sa pagkakaalam ko, both of his kids are out of the country. At hinahanap narin sila kasi baka may makita kaming leads sa kay Ejii." sagot ni tita

Son and a daughter? Ano kaya ang pangalan nila?

"Alexander Dame Wemley and Alexandra Seven Wemley." biglang sabi ni tita.

Agad naman akong nagtaka. I didn't ask kasi.

"I just thought you wanted to know their names." nakangiting sabi ni tita pero bakas parin ang pag mugto ng mga mata nya.

Tita is tired, magthre-three na kasi ng umaga at dala na iyon ng pag iyak nya.

"Yumi..." napalingon kaming tatlo kay Inspector Louie kasama sina Officer Travis at Serena.

"You should rest, ilang oras nalang at sisikat na ang araw. Your tired, kami nalang ang bahalang magbantay for Ezekiel's awakening." sabi ni Inspector

Tatanggi pa sana si tita Yumi pero inunahan ko na sya. "Tita, kami na po bahala mag bantay kay bak---este Ezekiel. Kung gusto nyo po dumaan muna kayo sa Chapel." sabi ko kaya tumango nalang si tita sakin.

"Shane Samahan mo si Tita Yumi." sabi ko kaya tumango si Shane at sinamahan si tita papuntang Chapel.

"Amethyst, bumalik ka narin sa kwarto mo. Hindi ka pa magaling, baka mamaya dumugo ang sugat mo." naptingin ako kay Officer Travis.

Sugat? May sugat ako?

"Huh? Sugat? Asaan?" Tinuro nya naman agad ang naka hospital tape kong sugat sa paa.

Ngayon ko lang Napansin ang sugat ko. GInalaw ko ito kaya agad Akong napangiwi Dahil bigla itong kumirot.

"Sabi na eh. Sige na magpahinga ka na, Serena Samahan mo sya sa----."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Sabay sabay kaming napalingon sa sigaw na iyun.

Agad kaming tumakbo pero naaa huli lang nila ako Dahil Medyo kumikirot pa ang sugat ko.

Nang makarating kami sa Room 305 kung saan galing ang sigaw namin.

Nakita namin ang gulat na gulat na mukha ng isang babae habang nakasalampa sa sahig dahil sa gulat.

Nanlaki din ang mga mata namin ng makita ang isang lalaki na nakahiga sa hospital bed habang nakanganga at meron itong saksak malapit sa puso.

May Napansin ako sa kutsikyo, may nakapaslang na card sa kutsilyo.

Tarot Card...

And it means...

Death...
