ATM 1:A Total Mess (FBS#1)

Chapter 6

Fragile

Angelo's POV

"Kyaahh!!!"she screamed and ran upstairs.

Haha. Takot pa din siya sa dugo.

Tawa ako ng tawa.

"Sam!"tawag ng mommy niya.

"Teka, ano bang nangyari dun sa batang 'yun at bigla na lang sumigaw?"takang tanong ni mom.

"Ah, pasensya ka na dun sa batang 'yun. Takot kasi yun sa dugo kaya siguro siya tumakbo. She had witnessed when her Kuya died and it's very traumatizing for her."natigil ako sa pagtawa sa narinig ko.

So that explains why...

"Sige, akyatin ko muna siya sa kwarto, 'coz I'm really sure that she's crying right now."tumango naman si mommy.

Shet! Nakokonsensya ako kasi minsan ko na siyang tinakot ng masugatan ako dahil alam kong takot sya sa dugo. Pero hindi ko naman alam ang naging epekto sa kanya 'non kasi tumakbo agad sya  papuntang kwarto at nag-lock.

Im sorry, Sam... I didn't know.

I felt really guilty, damn!

"Mom, ako na po ang pupunta sa kwarto niya."pigil ko sa mommy ni Sam na paakyat na sana sa hagdan.

"No, it's okay."sabi nya.

"Let me, mom, please."I said."And besides, it's actually my fault."I added.

"No, hijo! Don't blame yourself. Its her own fault, anyway. And I'm sorry for what she did a while ago."she said.

"Let him, para makapag-kwentuhan na rin muna tayo. It's been a while."sabi naman ni mommy.

She hesitated for a second at napatingin pa sa taas ng hagdan bago timingin sa akin at..."Okay."

Aakyat na sana ako, when...

"Son! Alis na rin kami pakisabi kay Sam. Gabi na rin kasi kaya sa daan na lang kami magkwe-kwentuhan." mom said.

"Ingat po."I said tapos hinatid ko na rin sila papunta sa front door.

After ko silang ihatid ay agad-agad akong umakyat sa taas.

Ilang beses na din akong kumakatok pero hindi nya pa din binubuksan ang pinto. Ugh.

Kinuha ko na ang susi at ako na mismo ang nagbukas.

I heard her sobbing while facing the door of the veranda.Nakaupo lang siya sa may sahig sa gilid ng kama.

I closed the door pero hindi pa rin sya nagsasalita. Kaya tinabihan ko na siya.

Bigla naman syang yumuko.

"I didn't kno--"I was cut off.

"First of all, I'm not crying."she said habang yakap-yakap niya ang tuhod niya at doon nakayuko.

But what she said makes me chuckle.

Halata namang umiiyak siya e.

"Second, leave me alone 'coz I don't wanna see your face."sabi niya pero hindi ako gumalaw at wala akong balak umalis.

At tulad ng inaasahan ko ay tumingin na siya sakin.

"Are you deaf?! Just leave me alone! If you just want to see me crying, now, are you happy, ha?! I'm already crying infront of you! And I know that you're laughing at the back of your mind because I am still so f*cking weak! And it's just so funny to think that I'm scared to a simple blood! I'm such a weakling and I hated myself for letting it be!"she said while crying. Humina ang boses niya sa huli.

Hindi na ako sumagot at niyakap ko na lang siya.

"Ako naman."I said."Una. Ayoko sa mga babaeng madaldal. Ikalawa. Mukhang nakalimutan mo na ang sinabi ko tungkol diyan sa t*nginang pagmumura mong 'yan."

Just warning her for her own good.

Baka kung ano pang magawa ko sa bwisit na bibig na 'yan! I know I'm also cussing but I don't want to hear her doing the same thing. Hindi kasi bagay sa kanya.

Pagkatapos kong sabihin 'yon ay medyo kumalma na siya at tumigil na sa kakapiglas sa yakap ko.

"He's always there for me because mum and dad are always having a business trip in different countries..." she started after a while.

Mum... Nice accent...

"He's my bodyguard, my cook, my adviser, my comforter. In short, my hero..."she continued, sobbing harder.

"That night, we were walking in a dark thoroughfare because his car stopped in the middle of the road and..."I almost can't understand what she's saying.

I just hug her tighter.

"And... and *sob*"

"Don't continue if you're not yet ready."I told her seriously.

"That's all my fault. I'm texting a friend while we're walking and I saw a bright light... *sob* And all happened in just a blink of an eye.*sob*"I soothed her back.

"I should've be the one to die and not him! Not kuya Alex... he dont deserve that... He claimed my mistake... he claimed it without a second thought.. *sob*"

"It's because he loves you."I told her.

"I should've be the one to die."she repeated.

No...

Matagal din na ganun ang pwesto namin.

"I'm sorry, Sam..."I whispered in her ears.

But I didnt get any response.

Galit?

"Look, I didnt know that you're traumatized-"I said while pulling out to our hug and was cut off when I realized that she's fast asleep in my arms.

Tsk. Kaya pala hindi na sumasagot.
