I know pagod na sila,but they are still fighting,pero di ako gaya nila.
You ok?-my cousin
I smiled "im fine"i know my smile always complete my answer
FAST FORWARD
Naglalakad na kami and asa likod ako,as usual.
Its been one year since that incident happen and i still blame myself.
"Hey?hindi kaba sasabay pauwi?",ate Elijah
"Hindi na,susunod nalang ako"
Elijah's POV
"Ate,you think ayos lang sya?",Lj
"Sa totoo lang?I don't know pero may tiwala ako sa kanya i know she can do it."
I trust you Zen.
AT HOME
"Ma matutulog muna ako gisingin moko pag nakauwi na si Zen"tumango lang sya so umakyat nako.
.........
Zen's POV
Im sorry,Bunso.I know its my fault kung hindi dahil sakin sana masaya ka,playing with our cousins.
"Anak?"
I turn around
"Why are you here?Umalis kana,wala kang karapatang dalawin yung kapatid ko"i know,she can't see any emotions in my eyes,she left me,no she left us wala syang karapatang bumalik.
"Im sorry,please forgive me Zen,hindi ko yon ginusto"i smirk,still no emotion shown.Then i saw him looking at me,lahat ng nangyari,i can remember it clearly.Im starting to tremble as i look at him.
"N-no"i whispered"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"he step forward as i step backwards.
"I just want to apologize",no
"No dad,just leave me alone."i look at my mother
"Please mom,bring him home"i don't want this,pag tumagal pa to im going to break,and i can't let them see me like that.
"No.we.will.talk"he's looking at me while saying those words,that look that haunts me even in my dreams.
I slowly get my cutter in my pockets,tinutok ko sakanila to kasabay ng pagtulo ng pinipigilan kong luha,slowly i can feel my emotions coming back,i can sense their shock.
"Leave me alone"i tried na patapangin yung boses ko kahit takot na takot ako.
"No we will talk Zen"sabi nya pagkabawi sa pagkabigla.
Ang bilis nyang gumalaw,gaya ng dati,he held my mom as a hostage so he can control me.
"Your going with us Zen"matigas nyang sabi.
"So you can make my life a living hell again?no i won't let it happen.You killed my sister You Monster!sa tingin mo sasama pa ko sayo ha?!I won't"
I look at my mom
"Im sorry"tinutok ko yung cutter sa may bandang dibdib ko.
I mouted "i love you" at my mom,i know wala syang ginusto sa nangyari but still,i pushed the cutter on my heart,as i closed my eyes i saw my sister's grave,at last i can be with her.
Elijah's POV
"Elijah!",narinig ko si mama na nakatok sa pinto ng kwarto ko.i stand up as i reach for the door knob
"Bakit ma?nakauwi naba si Zen?"pero imbis na panatag na mukha ang bumungad sakin her worried expression got my attention.
"Zen is in the hospital"
"Ano?!" "Anong ospital?pupunta ako"nagmamadali kong sabi n-no she won't do that
FAST FORWARD
At the hospital
"Miss room number ni Zenaida Park?"
"Asa emergency room pa po mam"hindi ko na sya pinatapos,i rushed to the emergency room.
"Tita what happen?!"she just look at me,crying
"I-m sorr-y"her voice cracked,no
"Where's t-ito?"she looked down
"Hes in the police station,i called them para mahuli na sya.but i think its too late,she's g-gone..."as she stop talking lumabas na yung doctor
"What happen?how is she?"
"Im sorry,ginawa namin ang lahat,but she put the cutter straight in her heart.we can't do anything"Nararamdaman kong babagsak nako
"Excuse me"my heart trobs
N-no,it can't be.just then,i rembered something,lahat ng pinagdaanan nya.sinabi nya sakin lahat but she plead na huwag kong sabihin kayla mama.
Flashback
"Ate elijah,can we talk?"Habang palapit ako sakanya,i can feel her expression change
"Asan nga pala si belle?bakut hindi nyo sya kasama nila tita?atsaka bakit ka naka sleeve?ang init kaya"tanong ko ng makapasok kami sa room ko,btw its soundproof
As soon as i ask that question,she started to cry,i was shocked
"Bakit?may nasabi ba akong mali?"i panicked
"Ate,si daddy she's hurting us,mommy doesn't seem to care,si belle kaya sya di nakasama kasi she's s-sick,puro na sya pasa,daddy won't let you see her kasi baka isumbong nyo sya sa p-ulis"she looked at me i can't speak
"Can you r-remove your sleeve's?"she just nod her head while her lips are trembling
As soon as she lifted her clothe's i can see the bruise's pati yung mga pasa,all of it name it all even a hand mark on her neck,sa wrist,sa ankle.sa buong katawan nya.
"W-ho?wh-what?"i cant even say a word properly i'm so shock to utter a single word
"He did this ate my sister is so weak to even stand,mas malala yung nakuha nya,binugbog sya ni dad k-ahapon we need to save her,pero dapat tayo lang ang makakaalam,he will kill mom if he find out na alam nyo na yung gimagawa nya.Please h-help me"she's crying
"O-ok"wala syang sinayang na oras,hinatak na nya ko palabas ng bahay,walang sinasayang na oras
As soon na nasa baba na kami the emotion on her eyes,it can't be seen.i was amazed at the same time afraid,because i know i will rarely see emotion in her eyes from now on
"Mom asan si tito?"tanong ko kay mama ng mapansing wala si tito sa salas
"Ow umuwi sya,sabi nya sisilipin lang nya si belle may sakit daw kasi"
I looked at Zen,she was shocked
She run and sumunod ako sakanya
"Wait Zen,gamitin na natin yung kotse ko!"
Pagkasakay namin sa kotse ko pinahurot ko yon papunta sa bahay nila.she got out of the car immediately,sumumod ako agad
She slamed the door,i walked behind her
"N-no..."tumingin ako sa tinitignan nya,and i saw my cousin lying on the groun lifeless with tito holding a knife with blood
Back to reality
That's how her sister die,hindi ko ma sya nakita uli na ngumiti after that day
At n-ngayon i can't belive i-it
After 1 month
Elijah's POV
We are slowly moving on after her death,nakalibing sya katabi ng sister nya,ako ang umaasikaso ng case nya at ng sister nya,ako din yung testigo.
I looked at their grave
"Ibibigay ko yung hustisyang nababagay sainyo"i smiled as i closed my eyes i feel the cold breeze hitting my face
"Please guide me"
