His voice still lingering in my mind as I stare at the object infront of me. Is it possible to received a will without your notice and from someone you don't even know? I think not. I want to laugh at myself, maybe I'm such a lovable person.
"Use it, it's a valuable thing."
An attorney knocked in my door and left me a violin as a will. Ilang beses kong tinanong kung kanino nanggaling at yun lang ang sinabi niya with his creepy smile bago siya umalis. I shrugged it off. Maybe I can use this to practice for my upcoming play.
I closed my eyes, lost in a paradise while moving the violin bow to play a fantastic song. I think I'm improving, I just need a little more practice.
Nang mapagod ay naisipan ko munang matulog sandali. Pagkahigang pagkahiga ko ay nilamon na ako agad ng kadiliman.
A song waked me up, feeling sleepy, I came out in my room to eat dinner.
"Sofia? Anong ginagawa mo dito? " I asked my sister. Hindi niya ako pinansin at patuloy na naglakad pababa kaya sumunod ako sakanya. I thought she will going to the bar with her friends.
Nang makarating sa kitchen, napakunot ang noo ko ng makarinig ng pamilyar na tugtog. Yun ang tinutugtog ko kanina gamit ang violin at yun din ang nanggising sakin kanina. Saan yun galing? Nilibot ko ang mata ko sa paligid. Nevermind, nilingon ko kung saan ko nakita si Sofia at bigla akong nanlamig.
My sister is laying, bathe with her own blood. I felt something in my feet and I saw the violin in the floor.
Tulala, hawak ko parin ang violin habang nakahiga sa kama ng hospital. Buti at natawagan ko pa ang mommy ko bago ako nahimatay. I stare at this violin, still can't believe what happened. Sa nanginginig na kamay, kinuha ko ang bow at tinugtog ang paborito kong kanta para kumalma.
Wala pang isang minuto ang lumipas, nakarinig kami ng isang sigaw. Lumabas ako agad sa kwarto ng hospital. I know that voice. That's my mom.
May narinig akong nagsisigawan sa groundfloor kaya mabilis akong nagtungo dun na sana hindi ko na ginawa. My mom, with her eyes open, laying in her blood. In that moment, I heard a song, the one I'm playing a while ago. Nanginginig ang kamay ko habang nakatitig sa hawak kong violin.
