Chapter Thirteen

There was only one name I would ever call whatever the circumstances I might get stuck up into. Siya lang, ang pangalan niya lang ang tanging ilalabas ng bibig ko at wala ng iba pa.

Jimin, please, save me. I need you, Jimin.

Mahigpit kong niyakap ang sarili ko patagilid habang humihikbi nang mawala si Mint sa ibabaw ko matapos kong isatinig sa isipan ko ang mga salitang iyon. I curled up like a bean while crying so hard.

Takot na takot ako. I thought…

"Fvck you, fvck you, Jeremint!"

"Don't be so aggravated, Jimin! You took her away from me!"

"Fvck, I will kill you! You dared to fvcking touch her?!"

"Says the man so saint! Bitawan mo ako!"

"No, not before I make sure you're not breathing anymore!"

I couldn't really give a damn about what was happening around me anymore 'cause all I could do was just to hug myself and pathetically cry my eyes out.

Naririnig ko ang pagbabagsakan ng kung anong mga bagay at ilang mga sigawan bago ko maramdamang may marahang humawak sa mga braso ko. I slowly raised my blurred gaze up only to see Tita Janna's worried face. Mas napahikbi ako saka bumangon at mahigpit siyang niyakap.

"What's happening? Bakit kayo nag-aaway?!" I heard Tito Nigel's angry but restrained voice.

"Mint." Sumunod ang matigas na boses ni Tito Von.

Hinaplos ni Tita Janna ang likod ko habang pinapaliguan ako ng ilang mga mahihinahon at malalambing na mga salita para patahanin ako. She wasn't throwing questions, only hushing me softly and I couldn't help but cry even more 'cause aside from the fear still lingering within me, it was the first time again I felt a mother comfort after the years my mother died.

"Ssh, I'm here, I'm here baby girl…" She softly told me, still caressing my back.

"Why don't you ask what that good for nothing prick did to Hannan?!" Narinig ko ang galit na boses ni Jimin.

Kinabahan ako bigla. I knew, hindi ko dapat iniisip ang mga ganitong bagay sa kalagitnaan ng gulong ito pero oras na malaman nila ang ginawa ni Mint, magtatanong sila kung bakit niya ginawa iyon at mauuwi kami sa katotohanang matagal na naming itinatago ni Jimin.

That would mess everything more than ever.

I was about to let go from Tita Janna's safe embrace when I heard Mint answer, "She was mine, Jimin. You knew, she was my girlfriend but why the hell did you have to get on our way? It was you who ruined us, kaya huwag kang magmalinis dito!" galit na sabi ni Mint at nang kumawala ako kay Tita Janna, ang malapad na likod na lang ni Mint na papalabas ng silid ang nakita ko.

Pare-parehong natahimik ang lahat na tila tinitimbang ang mga narinig o baka piniproseso pa ang lahat. Ang pagsinok ko ang bumawi ng panandaliang katahimikang iyon. My eyes landed on Jimin and I felt like tearing up again when I saw the blood on the side of his lips.

He was hurt!

"Hannan." I heard Tita Sammie's breaking voice. I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed as she opened her arms for me. Tinapik ako ni Tita Janna para payagan akong lumapit kay Tita Sammie. So I crawled towards the latter and let her arms drape around me.

My mother died. Yes, it hurt me, it wrecked me but I knew I couldn't do anything to bring her back. Nawala man siya ay may naiwan naman siyang mga tao na sobra-sobra ang pagpapahalaga sa akin. It was like she left a part of her to these two women for me. She left her heart, parted it in two all for me.
