#A2Explained

Akala ko pa naman hindi ako magiging busy today.

I frowned habang naaalala ko yung sinabi ko kanina kay Bhryle. Sinabi ko pa naman na busy ako. Tapos iniwan ko din siya bigla-bigla. Ang panget, Amelie!

Naglalakad ako ngayon papunta sa counter to check for new erands.

I sighed.

"Nurse Sandross. From Doctor James's office." Dinig kong sabi nung speaker sa counter.

Hindi pa nga ako napaupo ay napapatakbo na naman ako papunta sa Office ni Dr. James.

Nakita kong may kinukuha si Dr. James sa drawer niya at napansin kong may lalaking nakaupo sa table ni Doc.

Then, that would be— Bhryle.

Wala namang ibang taong umuupo sa table ni Doctor James.

What— may sugat ulit siya?

He always visits the hospital quite often na. And everytime na nasa hospital siya ay palaging may sugat o 'di kaya ay may babaeng nag-aagaw buhay at halos bugbugin na niya ang sariling ama para lang magmakaawa na tulongan siya.

Hanggang tingin na lang ba talaga ako sa lahat Bhryle?

Nakapasok na ako sa office and I saw a lot of cuts sa fist ni Bhryle. Yung old wound niya na open ulit. Imbis na mag-healed na sana.

"Nurse Sandross, glad you came up here. I have an operation in 3 minutes. Wrap Bhryle's wound. Ointment, done." Sabi ni Doc. And then I guess wala sa mood si Doc. Kasi hindi na siya tumingin pa kay Bhryle. Usually kasi tinukso niya pa si Bhryle or he won't stop talking either to me or to Bhryle.

Umalis na nga talaga si Doc and Bhryle and I saw each other again.

Napatingin ako kay Bhryle at lumapit sa kanya. Tinignan ko ang kamay niya. I prepared tapes and pieces of cotton.

Pero napansin kong nakatingin si Bhryle sa akin. Tumingin ako pabalik dahilan para mapaiwas siya.

Okay?

"I'm sorry about earlier." Sabi ko.

"No, it's fine." He immediately said.

I blinked twice.

Balit every time na kakausapin ako ni Bhryle ay parang ta-traydurin ako ng puso ko? I am basically in need of air. Right now.

A long silence habang ni-wrap ko na sa tapes and band ang sugat niya.

Ayoko sanang mangialam pero where did he get these wounds? What exactly was he doing?

"So, what was it that you want to talk about?" I asked.

Napatigil siya.

"I'm just.... well— I was in the mood to explain everything earlier. But- it's fine."  

"Was?" I repeated. "Now you are not in the mood to explain?"

He nodded.

Napahawak siya sa ulo niya.

"I think I gotta go."

"Yeah." Sabi ko. "And I hope you are not getting wounds every day. That would totally bring damage to your muscles and tissues." Sabi ko. "It's just that it is on the same old spot. It's kind of strange."

He smiled.

BHRYLE SMILED.

BHRYLE SMILED— at me.

"That's advice," I said.

"Dad told me so." He said. Kinuha ni Bhryle ang helmet niya at ang leather jacket niya.

"Wait— about the security thing. I am just curious kung anong possible na mangyayari sa shareholder's meeting. It's a private meeting what's unsafe?" Sabi ko.

He sighed. "Kahit saan pwedeng pumatay, Amelie."

"And why is it that you cared so much about this meeting?" Sabi ko.

He clenched his jaw.

Lumapit siya sa akin.

"The only thing that makes me care about this shareholder's meeting is that I know who wants to drag the CEO down."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

"My brother is in the middle of investigating everything. We just told them. We must report it to the police."  I said. I took out my phone but Bhryle took it away from me.

"This is so hard to explain and for Pete's sake, I hate explaining," Bhryle said.

"It's about my family," I said. Might he will try to re-consider.

I saw how Bhryle stiffened with what I just said. Parang ang soft sa part niya ang salitang "Family".

Tapos na ako sa pagliligpit ng gamit at napaginhawa nalang ako ng bahagya habang iniisip ko pa din ang mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa mga sinasabi ni Andre the other day at sa sinasabi ni Bhryle ngayon.

Nilapit ni Bhryle ang mukha niya sa tenga ko.

"Come with me. And, I will explain everything to you." He whispered.

Ang dami mo nang utang na explaination Bhryle.

"Okay," I whispered back.

Lumayo si Bhryle sa akin when Enver suddenly barged in.

Tinignan niya ako at saka si Bhryle.

"Enver..." I mentioned.

Enver clenched his jaw.

"I got a report," Enver said.

"What is it?" Sabi ko.

Enver looked at Bhryle.

"This man has a connection with the suspect who dropped a threat to your brother, Amelie," Enver stated. With Enver mentioning my name, his tone is furiously serious.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

Bhryle looked at me.

What?!
