Chapter 47

Enough

I couldn't process what she had said. Alam niya? She can't even look at me straightly in the eye. Medyo lumayo kami kung nasaan si Jonas. Sumunod naman siya sa'kin saka ko hinarap. Sa sinabi niya kanina, nagkaroon ako ng parehong kaba at pagdududa. Hindi ko alam kung bakit o kung saan iyon nanggagaling. But for now, I have to listen to her first.

"K-Kilala ko Miss Palmares," she stuttered. "Pasensya na."

Umiling ako, hindi makapaniwala. If she's telling the truth, bakit all these time, ngayon niya lang sinabi? She should tell the police everything! She should told us that immediately! I tried to reach her out! Gusto kong masuka dahil sa ibang nararamdaman sa sikmura. This is a strange feeling that wants to come out.

"Anong p-pasensya na? Who did that to my mother?" Puno na ng galit, tinanong ko ang mga iyon.

She didn't answer. She remained shaking and her tears began to come from her eyes. I couldn't help but to be furious. Hindi ko alam kung para sa kaniya ang galit ko, pero alam kong galit ako. Nakalimutan kong mayroong inooperahan ngayon. Nakalimutan kong si Kuya Justin iyon. All I wanted to know is who raped my mom? My vision got blurry as I look at the nurse.

She's in her uniform right now. Puti... she should be healing persons, but why am I hurting like hell?

"Why can't you fucking answer my question?! S-Sino ang gumahasa kay Mama? Bakit hindi mo agad sinabi sa mga pulis? Bakit hindi mo agad sinumbong, ha? Tell me!"

Taas baba ang balikat ko at pero nagpipigil na taasan ang boses. The volume of my voice was enough for her to hear my wrath. I'm fuming mad that I can't even control my feelings.

No one knows how I suffered because of what happened to my mother. I took all the responsibility. From the bills... Vane, and my whole family. I didn't just lost my mother, I lost my father too. Akala ko tuluyan nang mawawala si Papa sa'min. He was grieving and mourning so bad, wanting to go with my mother. Hindi lang iyon ang pinakadahilan. I love my mother so much.

"S-Sorry... Natatatakot ako... Natakot ako... B-Baka kapag nagsumbong ako, patayin ako... Patawad, h-hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko..."

Tears are falling from her eyes.

"B-Baka mawalan ako ng trabaho... Paano mabubuhay ang pamilya ko? I-I-I d-didn't have a choice... I'm s-sorry."

Hindi ko makuha ang mga sinasabi niya dahil punung-puno ako ng galit. Whatever her reason is, she should've told us the truth!

"Tell me, who the fuck raped my Mom?!"

"S-Si Sir Olivan!" banayad niyang sigaw.

Nawala ako sa sarili dahil sa sinabi niya. My tears fell nonstop.

"W-What?" it was almost a whisper.

My hands are cold and my legs are shaking. I gritted my teeth because of anger. Tell me, it's not true!

"L-Liar..." umiling ako.

Sir Olivan... Jonas' father... What the hell...

"T-That time... that it happened, I was on duty... Tandang-tanda ko pa, it was eleven in the evening. Wala si Mr. Palmares, kaya ako ang nagbabantay..." she paused to cover her mouth then speak again after a few seconds. "I-I saw Sir Olivan on... on h-her body... s-sorry... kadiri... n-nakakatakot, h-hindi ko na alam!"

Tahimik akong umiyak, iniisip ang pinag-daanan ni Mama. She's in comatose, but I know she can feel it. That's her body. Wala man lang siyang nagawa para ipaglaban ang sarili niya. Hindi siya makagalaw para protektahan ang sarili niya.
