[Zeke's POV]

 

"You better take care of her properly, Xander."           Muling paalala ni Mommy.

"Yes mom. I know."

"Good. Well then, I'm hanging up now. Take care, son."

"You too mom."   I said and ended the call.

Tumawag mom ko kasi nalaman niya ang nangyari kay Tear. It's a bit of a bother kasi napatakbo pako mula sa shower nang nakatwalya lang para sagutin ang tawag niya. But I'm glad though. At least my parents care.

Pumasok nako uli sa banyo at tinapos ang pagligo. Nagsasabon pa kasi ako nang tumawag si mom >_<. Pagkatapos, kumain muna ako at saka nagdrive papunta sa Medina International Hospital kung saan naka confine si Tear. Hayy... I hope she's awake.

Pagdating ko, nagpark nako at dumeretso na sa kwarto ni Tear. Nasa labas nako nang madatnan ko ang isang lalaking nakasuot ng black shirt, black pants, black DC shoes, black leather biker jacket, at silver chain necklace. Hindi rin sya obsessed sa black no? Kasali siguro to sa kulto O_o

Napatingin siya sakin nang makatapat nako sa pintuan ng kwarto ni Tear. Angas...

Bubuksan ko na sana ang pintuan ng bigla siyang magsalita.

"Are you the one called Xander Zeke Heraldine?"  sabi niya nang nakapamulsa. His eyes showing no emotion and no interest at all.

"Yeah. What's it to you?"  I replied. Staring back at him. He smirked.

"You're an interesting one."  He said. Nararamdaman ko na ang pagtubo ng mga sungay ko. Tch. I hate to admit it, but why is this guy cooler than me?! *-_- Damn it.

"So?"  I said and he smirked again then let out a small sigh.

"If you're looking for my sister, then she's not there."  He said, finally showing emotion.

"What? What are you blabbering on about?"  I confusedly said. What sister is he talking about? Is he on drugs or something? O_o

"Masami's been transferred to the ICU. She's in critical condition right now."

"What?!"  at first, hindi ko pinaniwalaan ang sinabi niya kaya dali-dali akong pumasok sa kwarto ni Tear. My heart dropped when I saw no one lying there, so I ran outside.

"Where's the ICU?!"  natataranta kong tinanong yung lalaki kanina.

"4th Floor. South Wing."  Agad akong tumakbo nang mabilis pero bahagya akong napatigil nang muling magsalita yung lalaki.

"By the way, I'm Kenzo Denver Jung. Masami's older brother."  I nodded then ran to the ICU.

"Jace!"  sigaw ko nang madatnan ko siya sa labas ng ICU.

"Xander. Buti't nandito ka. Tatawagan na sana kita."  sabi niya na mukhang natataranta.

"Never mind that. More importantly, nasan si Tear?!" natataranta ko ring tanong.

"Inside. Hindi pa daw tayo pwedeng pumasok."  Malungkot niyang sabi. Napaupo ako sa isa sa mga bench sa labas ng ICU.

"Wha- What happened?"  I hesitantly asked. He sighed before answering my question.
