Nagulat ako sa aking nalaman.
Dad?
I never knew about that. Alam kong nagtratrabaho siya dati sa isang science department sa western pero hindi ko nalaman na ang huli niyang pagbabakasyon sa bahay ang huli na naming pagkikita noon.
Akala ko, akala ko nagkasakit siya.
"Pristin."
Hindi ko namalayan na halos mapunit na ang pahina ng notebook dahil sa mahigpit kong pagkakakapit dito.
Tumulo ang luha ko.
So dad didn't die just like that. How fool are we to not notice it? I was so young and deprived when he died.
Niyakap ako ni Kisher kaya napahagulhol ako sa balikat niya.
If I only knew.
"Hey."
Napalingon ako ng makita si Ereel at Dash na nakatingin sa amin. Bahagya pang nagulat si Dash ng makita akong umiiyak.
"Bakit ka--?"
Magtatanong pa sana siya ng dumako ang tingin niya sa hawak kong notebook. Napaturo siya doon kaya napatingin din si Ereel sa hawak ko.
"Why are you here?"
Tanong ko sa kanila. Itinuro ni Dash si Ereel at iniwas naman ni Ereel ang kaniyang paningin sa akin.
"You're hard-headed."
Napakurap ako dahil sa sinabi niya.
"May iniwan siya."
Sambit ni Kisher sa kanila. Nagulat si Dash sa sinambit niya. Hindi niya rin siguro aakalaing may iiwan si Mika.
She even addressed those words to me. Maybe, she knew I would look for it. But why didn't just tell me directly about that?
Tutal nandito na rin lang kami ay itinuloy na lang namin ang pagbabasa.
"Laroza?"
Ereel asked. Napapikit naman ako doon.
"My dad."
Nagulat sila sa sinambit ko pero hindi na masyadong nagtanong dahil alam kong nararamdaman nilang ayaw kong pag-usapan ang tungkol dito.
His case was reported to have suffered from a lung disease. Again the dirt of the head was covered by lies. He eventually tried to remake the research again for the second time.
But in the end, the scientist died upon the strong dangerous research and had it exposed along with the virus called BV-18 or known as the brain virus.
At first, he tried to cover his plan research exposing but then he gave up. We thought he was tired about those gibberish but he knew better than anyone of us.
He let the virus spread, believing that it will fall on according to his lay-out upon making people go under his control. The virus spreading will be a threat to every person in the world so he would rather let them die if they won't obey him. I know, he's much more than evil.
And if they won't obey him after this, he won't think twice of releasing a second threat again.
Having the power to silence the men in the westerns, he can shut them out only with the snap of his fingers.
But then here comes the southeasterns, the country that I lived on when I was younger. The president already planned ways to prevent the virus from entering the area so he sent me here.
My mission was to stop the Project Breinox. A drug that can alter the virus from spreading in human's system.
At first, I laughed at the thought
Who would ever create that silly thing?
