Pabalik si Kylo sa hospital mula sa café nang makarinig siya ng malakas na busina at sigawan. Sandali siyang natigilan bago napagpasyahang lumapit sa kumpol ng mga tao.
An accident, he thought.
Kylo trembled when he saw the owner of the bloody body lying on the road. He dashed over to Aki while pulling his phone from his pocket to call for help.
When the help came, he promptly called her sister. Nanginginig ang mga kamay niyang itinipa ang numero ng kapatid bago ito tinawagan.
"Hello, brother!" Maligayang bati sa kaniya ng kakambal. Naririnig niya ang malakas na hagikhikan ng kaniyang mga pamangkin subalit ang kaba at pag-aalala ang nangingibabaw na emosyon sa kaniya sa panahong iyon.
"Ren..." Halos pabulong niyang sambit. Rin was quick to notice his brother's worry and fear in his voice, so she went to the kitchen to speak with him.
She looked at her twins who are giggling while playing.
"Why? What happened?" Hindi ito sumagot kaya napuno ng pag-aalala at kaba ang kaniyang puso. "Kylo."
"Aki.."
"What about Aki? What happened? Nag-away na naman ba kayo? Hindi ba't si-" Mabilis na pinutol ni Kylo ang kaniyang kapatid. "She got into an accident. Come to the hospital now."
"What?!" Mariing napapikit si Kylo nang marinig niya ang kaba at pag-aalala sa boses ng kaniyang kambal. She really likes Aki.
"I'll go now." Nagmamadaling sagot ng kapatid.
Nalilito si Kylo sa kung ano ba ang kaniyang dapat na gawin. But I'm also worried about my sister! What if something bad happens to her on her way here?!
Nagmamadaling nagtipa siya ng mensahe para sa kapatid.
To: My twin sister
I'll fetch you. Wait for me, okay? And what about the kids?
He immediately got a reply from her sister.
From: My twin sister
Okay. Pakibilis! Iiwan ko muna ang kambal kay Jen.
Nagmamadaling pumasok si Rin sa sasakyan ng kaniyang kapatid nang tumigil ito sa harap ng kanilang bahay. Sandali siyang lumingon sa tarangkahan kung saan naroon ang kaniyang kambal kasama ang kaniyang kaibigan na agad dumiretso mula pa sa kaniyang pinapasukan.
"I'll leave the kids to you. I'm sorry, Jen." Her friend simply smiled, while her kids happily waved their hands at her. Sandaling kumaway siya sa dalawa bago lumingon sa kapatid na seryosong nakayuko lamang na para bang napakalalim ng iniisip nito.
"Let's go." As soon as she nodded, he jumped in the car. He told her that the image of Aki lying in the middle of the road kept flashing through his mind, which is why he drove slowly for their safety.
"Faster, Kylo." Aligagang sambit niya sa kapatid. Sandali itong umiling bago mahinang nagbuga ng hangin mula sa kaniyang bibig.
"Are you okay?" She asked. Her brother looks so bothered and worried. She shut her eyes when she remembered something. I know, brother. I know.
"Ren, she's not with anyone. Please text her... boyfriend so that he can accompany her. She's alone ." Hearing his brother say that breaks her heart, but she cannot entertain the pain because she's really worried of Aki.
