I saw how Blake's smile instantly vanished as He realized where are we. He turned around to look at me. He smiled at me like he was asking me why we're here but I stared at him. No words coming out from my mouth.Minutes have passed and he's still staring at the gate entrance, blankly. Still processing to his mind if what's going on.
"Hyung," He finally spoke, calling my name. "What's this? C'mon, I don't have time for pranks like this. I know you guys are using Cody to make a joke time with me, right?" He said as if he was sure of what theories he's saying but begging me to say yes.
And again, no words coming out from my mouth. As much as I want to speak and tell him everything, I just can't. All I can do is to stare at him with full of pity in my eyes. All I can do is to give my sympathy for his situation. I'm his psychologist but I can't even do something to make him feel better.
Forgive us Blake. Just give us more time to tell you everything but not now.
I smiled widely as I turned around to look at our friends. Pinanlakihan ko sila ng mga mata and put my arms over Tiffany's shoulders who's stopping her emotions because any minute from now, she's going to cry like a baby.
"Ofcourse, Cody's just making some lame jokes." I lied. My son, Cody glared at me and he was looking at me, asking why did I lied.
Tsk! He's really a smart kid. Manang-mana sa mommy niya. He can already understand some situations like this.
"And Xylean's already waiting for us!" Kristela butted in. Palihim ko siyang tinanguan para pasalamatan.
"Shall we?" Ethan coldly said, asking us to enter the Cemetery Park.
Blake's forehead suddenly creased, making us all nervous. Minutes have passed, He smiled but strained.
"I trust all of you na hindi niyo ako lolokohin."He said, letting Cody's little hand go. He turned his back at us and started to entered the Cemetery Park.
"Pakshet! Paano na?!" Asiya exclaimed, nervously. Making all of us nervous too. "Dudes?! Anyone?!" She sarcastically said, hoping that she'll receive some solutions from us.
"Baby boss, kalma lang." pangaalo ni Henry sa girlfriend nito. Inismiran lang siya nito.
Bigla akong napatikhim sa isipang iyon. Tinignan ko naman sila ng seryoso at hinawakan ang kamay ng anak kong tinataasan ako ng kilay. Hindi ko naman ito pinansin.
"Let's go before it's too late." I said, seriously as I walked with my wife and son entering also the Cemetery Park. Naramdaman ko namang sumunod sila agad sa'min.
Pagkapasok palang namin sa Cemetery Park ay agad sumalubong ang mga nageengrandeng puntod sa iba't-ibang parte ng lupaing ito. Malalaki ang bawat espasyo ng mga puntod na ito at talaga namang hindi maipagkakaila ang mga nakalibing rito ay may mga matataas na estado sa buhay.
I keep looking around, searching for Blake until I saw him, almost panting while still searching every grave that we've crossed over. It was hard for him to find it. Because, it's not only just a buried graveyards, it has own house. Halatang pinaggastusan ng matindi.
I called his name, making him stopped from what he's doing. As soon as he heard it, he turned around to see us. His foreheard was already creased, he quickly walked to me and holds my collar, both sides. I just stared at him, I was like waiting for him to ask me something.
