Episode 24 - Beginnings and Endings

*Rain*

•••

   When I asked heavens if I was ready to get hurt again, I never thought they would be so cruel giving me this answer.

   Bacause I was not. No. I wasn't ready for this.

   I was afraid.

   Parang robot na tumayo ako at hindi nag-abalang magpagpag. Ni hindi ko pinansin ang pagtawag sa akin ni Tita.

   I needed to see him. I had to see for myself even though there was a nagging feeling that told me I would only get hurt for what I was about to see.

   "Rain, anak."

   "I have to see him. I need to. Maybe he's still alive and.. he needs our help."

   Right. I needed to believe in something. Anything. Even though it was a false hope. He could have survived from that crash, but from the explosion? Inalis ko sa isip ang hindi magandang ideyang iyon. No. Haru survived.

   "Hijo, maybe it's not a g-good idea--."

   "No!" I halted and spun around, and regretted it instantly. Lalo lang nagsikip ang dibdib ko.

   She was mourning.

   That same look on her face when Summer passed. She was mourning for me.

   "He's alive." I choked out. "He's not dead, Tita. No. I can't accept that. I just- I can't and I won't. He's alive." I bit my lips and walked on.

   I dragged my feet feeling like I was walking toward my own death. But the thought that Haru might still be alive was enough to keep my fears at bay.

   God. Please. I'm begging you.

   Isang tili ang pumukaw sa akin at nagpabilis ng lakad ko. Hanggang sa naging takbo.

   "Diyos ko po! Ayon 'yong lalaki! Tulungan niyo! Diyos ko!"

   I pushed my way through the small crowd. And my heart stopped right at the moment I laid eyes on him. Fresh blood on the side of his face.

   He was lying on an alleyway. Not moving. Unconscious. He seemed---. No!

   Wala na akong inaksayang panahon at agad siyang itinihaya. Inilapit ko ang tenga ko sa labi niya upang siguraduhing humihinga pa siya.

   And I've never been more relieved in the entirety of my existence.

   "Keep breathing, love. Please. For me. Please."

   Pinangko ko siya at agad na naghanap ng masasakyan. Where are the godd*mn authorities or ambulance when they are needed?

   "Rain! Here!"

   Tumakbo ako sa direksyon ng kahihintong kotse ni Tita habang karga ang walang malay na anghel sa mga braso ko. Ni hindi ko alintana na kaaalis lang ng cast ko. Ang mahalaga ay maidala ko siya sa ospital.

   "Kando, bilisan mo, hijo. May malapit na ospital d'yan sa pangatlong kanto."

   Niyakap ko si Haru sa kandungan ko.

   My poor baby.

   He broke his arm. He remained unconscious, and bruises were starting to become visible on his face and arms.

   "Please, love, hold on."

   I prayed silently to God. Pangako, hinding hindi ko hahayaang maalis ka sa paningin ko kahit sa ilang saglit lang.
