Empress Costudy

Chapter Eleven

Ang tahimik pala ng library ngayun.
Monday na monday ako lang ata ang tao dito ngayun.

Mag iisang oras na akong nakatambay dito. Ayoko pang lumabas at baka magkasalubong kami ni Dino, o kaya ni Akihito.

Dino told me na okay na siya after what happened to Princess.

An old friend who saved me from dying, but she died from saving me.

Lahat ng sisi ni Dino ay itinuon niya saakin sa pagkamatay ng kapatid niya.

It was a car accident. Hindi ko alam na sira ang preno nang sasakyan at si Princess ang nagdadrive nun.

Tandang tanda ko pa how she loses control habang nagmamaneho. Nasa Bukidnon kami nun for our summer escapade.

Mataas ang kalsada at nkakatakot. Nang tuluyan siyang mawalan ng kontrol sa pagmamaneho ay ibinunggo niya ang sasakyan.

I was losing my senses that time nang umatras ang sasakyan.

Princess was shouting at me to run and leave but I can't move my body. She was pushing me while we were crying.

I heard that the car bumped to something at tuloy tuloy ang pagkahulog.

I didn't know na naipit ang mga legs ni Princess. She opened the door beside me at pinagtulakan niya ako palabas ng sasakyan.

Dino and Carrina arrived at the place with some police cars and ambulances. Carrina lent me help but I ran to Princess. Pinilit kong mkapasok ulit sa sasakyan nang gumalaw ang sasakyan.

I was shouting for her name but all she did was smile back at me.

Dino was shouting too. Hinahatak niya ako palabas ng kotse at ng mahatak niya ako ay nahulog ang kalahati ng sasakyan sa bangen.

With my shock I lost all my conscious. I woke up in the hospital bed. Dino who blamed everything to me rans out from the room while crying. Crying for his Princess. For his sister who died saving me.

She died. That's what we all believed. Sabi nila Stassy walang bangkay na nakita sa sumabog na sasakyan.

I want to make sure. Kasi I have a feeling na buhay pa si Princess. My parent's helped me. That's when they dicovered of a dead body under the pieces of the car na sumabog.

Dino hated me for what happened. If only, he have wished na sana ako nalang ang namatay at hindi ang kapatid niya.

It took my one whole year bago mkabawi at mkarecover. Sa loob ng isang taon, paulit ulit na inimbestigahan nila Mommy ang nangyari at paulit ulit rin lang na ganon ang resulta ng imbestigasyon.

Princess is dead.

Napahugot ako ng malalim na hininga nang biglang may nag abot saakin ng puting panyo.

"Kanina pa ako nagsasalita sa harap mu."

Akihito...

I missed you...

Umupo ako sa sahig at sumandal sa book shelf.

"What happened baby?"

Pinunasan niya ang mukha ko.

Did I cry?

"You have been crying for twenty minutes already...baby what is wrong?"

"W-wala."

He put his hand on my head. Kaya npatingin ako sa kanya.
"Tell me everything I will listen.", he smile.

Those smiles...

"I- i just remember my parents." Pagsisinungaling ko.

Umupo siya sa sahig at humarap saakin.

"Baby..."
