DARWIN’S POV
Andrea admitted everything.
Pero bago pa siya nakulong ay nabaliw na siya right at the moment when Arnold died.
She must have love him that much. But to kill the one you love would really make you insane.
Instead of putting her in jail, she was placed in the mental hospital.
Kahit pa naiinis ako kay Arnold. Iwas thankful when she saved Callie.
Ako dapat yun eh. Pero kung ako ung namatay in his place, ending na! Ayaw ko namang maging tragedy ang ending ng story ko.
I saw Callie’s sadness when Arnold died. She must have love him too.
Kahit pa sinabi nya na ‘Hindi’ noong tinanong ko siya.
Hindi naman siya ung tipong mababaliw na pero talagang malungkot siya sa pagkawala ni Arnold. It will be hard for her to forget what happened.
Ikaw ba naman ang sagipin mula sa kamatayan.
It’s been two weeks since natapos ung kaso. Hindi ko pa rin nakikita si Callie.
I think hindi rin siya magtatrabaho for a while. Yun na kaya ang huling pagkikita namin?
Wala na siya dating bahay nila. Lumipat na sila sa bahay ng tunay niyang magulang. Wala rin akong balita kay Matsuda.
My life went to normal. Maghihintay na lang ako ng kasong ipapasolve sa akin.
Siyempre si Papa, proud.
Nakakalungkot isipin na namimiss ko sila.
Lalo na si Callie. I’m wondering how is she right now.
I stare at my ceiling thinking ‘bout her.
9 pm na pala. Hindi pa ako naliligo.
I went out of the house para sa gig namin for tonight.
I saw my bandmates na parang mga biyernes santo ang mukha.
Well, ako half lang naman pero sina Ralph, Kenji at Alex, superdown ang aura. Phil was silent.
“Darwin,” tawag ni Alex. Trying to fix his smile.
“Yes?” tugon ko.
“What would you do if the girl you love, hates you? ” tanong niya.
“Hate her back. Para patas kayo.” Sagot ko.
His face went blank. Maybe he’s thinking ‘bakit pa sa kanya ako humingi ng advice?’
“Eh paano naman kung ayaw mo na siya, pilit pa rin ng pilit?” tanong ni Kenji.
“Pagbigyan mo na. Kawawa naman eh.”
“Hindi ka rin baliw noh?” ani Ralph.
“Ayaw mo na nga, pagbibigyan mo pa. Mas lalo lang masasaktan ung tao.” Patuloy niya.
“Wait.” Raising my right hand.
“Coffee please.” Tawag ko sa waiter.
“Coming sir!” –waiter
“Hindi pa naman.” Sagot ko kay Ralph
“Eh kasi baka pwede pang maging love instead of hate di ba?”.
“Tama” sang-ayon ni Phil.
“Masyado ata kayong emo ngayun ah?”
“Hindi kaya.” Ani Kenji.
