Chapter 21. "What should we do?"
Gavril and I stopped here on the playgroud. We are sitting on the swing, gazing on the reddish-orange rays of sun as it is about to cover with darkness, the fleeting colors dusk began to fade away at the same time I am thinking deeply about what I saw and what is going to happen tomorrow.
I turned my face on Gavril as I heard him releasing a deep sigh. "Hindi pa nga tapos ang isa, may isa na naman."
Nalungkot ako sa sinabi niya. He is right, we still have the case of the second note that will happen tomorrow and we actually don't have concrete plan on how to stop it and yet, here go thinking another case. I explained everything to Gavril what I saw about Jaxon.
"His Mom and Dad are busy at work. Yaya niya lang ang nakakasama niya sa bahay. Pero base sa kwento mo, Jaxon will be locked up on his room and there will be a fire burning their house." Dismayadong sabi ni Gavril. Ayaw ko mang gawin pero mahana akong tumango sa kanya.
"Aside from that, the second note will also happen tomorrow." I reminded him.
"Isa pa 'yan." Saad niya. Hinarap naman niya ako. "Anong oras ang kay Jaxon?" tanong niya. Iniwas ko naman ang tingin ko sa kanya at inisip ang nakita ko sa vision ko nang mahawakan ko si Jaxon.
Madilim na ng mga oras na 'yon.
Jaxon's maid left the house going somewhere.
And to assure's Jaxon's security, the maid locked his room.
Then, there is a unattended open stove.
That will start a fire.
"She's cooking." bulalas ko na kinabigla ni Gavril.
Tiningnan ko si Gavril. "I think it will happen before dinner, around 6 PM to 7 PM." I answered. Nakita ko namang napaisip si Gavril sa sinabi ko.
"So, mauuna siyang mangyari kaysa sa second note." Gavril concluded. I nodded in response to his conclusion. "We need to think, we need to plan about this, Roux." sabi niya.
Tiningnan ko lang siya, the surroundings cover with darkness as the sun complete set, I am looking to his serious face thinking deeply and wise for an effective plan. Sa totoo lang, kinakabahan ako. Ang hirap ng sitwasyon namin ngayon. At isang maling desisyon lang at pagkakamali, magiging mas malala ang lahat.
Umuwi na kami sa kanya-kanyang bahay nang hindi pa napagpaplanuhan ng maayos ang gagawin namin bukas tungkol sa mangyayaring mga aksidente. I am sure that Gavril is torn about the two cases, I know and I understand that he is worried about Jaxon. And I know how he wants to save the child, but I know that he is also worried about the second note's case. Compare to Jaxon's case, there are about twenty lives that will lose if we didn't stop the explosion of the jeepney. Ngayon, ano ang uunahin namin? Ang buhay ng isang mahalaga sa amin o ang buhay ng nakakarami? Do we need to sacrifice one life for the sake of twenty lives? It will be a tough decision for us. What should we do?
