We didn't speak after that one question, which I couldn't even attempt to answer. Despite feeling exhausted, I was unable to close my eyes as we were driving. I worry that in the dark I'll be able to see Christian's face again.
"Kung ayaw mong pag-usapan, sure. But if you like to, you can tell me." Sandali ko itong sinilip at agad ring nag-iwas ng tingin. Hindi ako sanay na ganito ang trato niya sa akin. Nakasanayan ko ang pag-uusap namin na puno ng sarkastiko at nakakainit ulo na batuhan ng salita. O, 'di kaya ay sisigaw ito sa sobrang inis. Para bang nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin, and it's awkward.
But I thought, this will be the perfect time to ask him to bring me back to Holton University, the previous school I attended to.
I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. "Gusto kong bumalik sa Holton University," mahinang usal ko, nakatanaw sa labas ng bintana ng kotse. Batid kong narinig niya ito, hindi siya tumugon sa dalawang dahilan; hindi ito papayag, o 'di kaya ay hindi pa niya alam ang magiging reaksyon. "Ayoko sa paaralang 'yon. I don't want to risk my life attending that strange school." Nilingon ko ito, nanatili ang kaniyang mata sa daan at nanatili ring tikom ang kaniyang bibig.
Naramdaman ko ang mabilis na pagtakbo ng kotse.
"No," he said firmly and without emotion. Napa-awang ang aking bibig. Ano pa nga ba ang makukuha kong sagot sa kaniya bukod sa hindi? I don't know if there's a little concern left for me in his heart. Lahat ng hindi ko gusto ay pinagpipilitan niya. We're not in the same path yet he's forcing me to walk with him. Lagi siyang sumasalungat.
Napakagat-labi ako at tinanaw muli ang labas ng bintana. Itinango ko ang aking ulo at parang baliw na bigla na lamang natawa. "You asked me what happened," I said in quiet tones.
I remove Dustin's coat and face him. He glances at me and was surprised to see blood on my cardigan. Nagalaw nito ang manibela kung kaya sandaling gumewang ang kotse.
"This happened. A guy was murdered in that school, Dad. They let an unknown guy walk inside the premises full of students. Muntik na akong maging suspect dahil ako ang nando'n nang mahulog iyon mula sa ika-limang palapag."
I saw him gulp. Beads of sweat form in his forehead as dread covered his entire face. Sandali pa ako nitong tinignan atsaka nilingon muli ang daan. He then asked, "Why were you beside a dead person?"
"What?" I mumbled in disbelief.
Did I heard him say that? Hindi ko siya maintindihan kung bakit niya iyon natanong. Was it a question of suspicion or just a plain gibberish?
"I tried to follow a guy with a knife to see what he was up to. He did it. He killed someone."
"How can you be so sure that the student was murdered? Maaaring desisyon niya ang nangyari. Tumalon siya to end his life. I heard he was one of the delinquents in the school who continued to be a jerk. Perhaps, he get tired to be one." He chuckled as if this was a joke. I shook my head in disbelief, "Ikaw! Tignan mo ang sarili mo. Teenagers like you have the audacity to do something, to defy even natural laws. And I wouldn't be surprised if you started committing serious crimes—"
