"Jethro, no matter what happens, you have to listen to Dad. Don't make the same mistake that I did. Maybe... maybe if I just listened to him, my life wouldn't get this bad. Don't be like me, okay? You should protect our family. You should protect Mom. Be a good son."
My brother's words never left my mind. Growing up, I didn't just hold on to it, I lived by it.
I did everything that a good son would. I always obeyed Mom and Dad's orders. I focused on my studies to achieve the highest grade possible, and when Dad told me to play Basketball, I practiced hard to be the best.
I didn't just want to protect my family, I wanted to protect my friends as well. They had no clue about the dangers of their habits, and so I did everything that I could to prevent them from suffering the same fate as my brother.
I played by the rules, they called me boring, and I didn't care. At the end of the day, as long as we're okay, nothing really matters. To me, as long as my parents and friends are happy, I'm living a good life. Why make it complicated?
One day, I found myself driving on a dark stretch of road. I don't remember much about that night, but I remember trying to step on the breaks when I saw that I was about to crash into a pile of metal bars behind a pick-up truck.
"Jethro, sabing gumising ka!"
Isang hindi pamilyar na boses ang paulit-ulit na tumatawag sa pangalan ko. Nagising ako at wala akong ibang naramdaman kung 'di matinding takot at sakit. Hindi ako makahinga. Malabo ang pandinig at paningin ko, pero malinaw sa akin na mamamatay na ako.
Buong buhay ko, ngayon lang ako natakot nang ganito. Ayoko pang mamatay.
"I'm still young. I don't want your death to haunt me in my sleep, kaya utang na loob, lumaban ka pa."
Nalalasahan at naamoy ko ang dugo. Nanlalamig ang buo kong katawan. May nararamdaman akong umaagos mula sa leeg ko. Gusto kong sumigaw dahil sa sobrang sakit pero wala akong lakas na gumalaw. Ni hindi ako makahinga nang maayos. Parang naglalagablab ang baga ko.
