What happened to me worried them more. I fainted, again, but my mind drifted to what we experienced inside that room, where Priscilla's lifeless body was found lying and how she opened her eyes, flashing her rage to me.
Hindi na ako nakasama sa mga sumunod na events ng sovereigns dahil lahat sila ay nag-alala sa nangyayari sa 'kin. They just recorded their performance individually at sini-send sa 'kin. Si Mae lang iyong send nang send ng clips ng performance ni Pip. Ginawa na nyang album ang conversation namin. But, I was glad, and I appreciate their efforts to at least join me in the events by sending me some videos as if I were there.
Kuya also has learned what happened to me. He's staying on the unit next to mine to look over me. Ang dalawang bodyguards rin na ipinadala nya sa 'kin ay lagi pa ring nakasunod sa 'kin sa tuwing lumalabas akthe distance is enough for me to be comfortable with their presence. I just know they are here, I can feel their presence, but sometimes, I’m not seeing them around, and that's fine with me. Sa totoo nga, mas napapanatag ako na malayo silang nagbabantay sa 'kin.
A few knocks on the door made me stop from what I was doing. I placed the canvas on the coffee table before walking to the door and opening it. I tilted my head, and my brows quirked up with Sean's presence in front of me.
"Anong klaseng reaksyon 'yan? Disappointment kasi hindi si Pip 'yung bumisita sa 'yo?"
Sinamaan ko sya nang tingin. I widened the door's cleft so he could enter. Ginawa naman nya at inilapag ang dalang cupcakes na naman sa coffee table, katabi ng mga canvas ko bago umupo ng sofa.
"Water, please..." nakangusong utos nya.
I rolled my eyes and got a glass of water from the kitchen saka umupo sa tabi nya.
"Ano na namang ginagawa mo dito?"
Tinaasan nya ako ng kilay. "Pero kapag si Pip 'yung pumunta dito, ang saya-saya mo 'no?"
My lips protruded and opened the box of cupcakes he brought for me. Sa tuwing napapadaan sya dito, ito 'yung laging binibili nya para sa 'kin dahil napansin nyang lagi kong nauubos iyon. He was actually so smug about it. Ito daw ang paborito ko kaysa sa pizza na sinasabi ni Pip.
"Nasabi kasi ni Primus 'yung mga nangyayari sa 'yo kaya naisipan kong dumaan."
Napatigil ako sa pagkagat ng cupcake. Everyone around me is worried about me now, and I hate it. I hate being a burden. Ayokong nag-aalala sila sa 'kin, iyon 'yung dahilan ko kung bakit mabibilang lang sa kamay ko 'yung nakakaalam ng nakaraan ko. Kung sino talaga ako...
"I'm fine," I said curtly before biting the cupcake.
"Do you want to tell me something? Mag-kwento ka lang. Mahaba pa naman ang oras ko dito."
My lips thinned and gave him a close-lipped smile. Ibinaba ko ang cupcake na hawak ko at niyakap si Sean. He seemed cool with that, anyway. Hindi ko ramdam na natigilan sya, parang inaasahan nya na na iyon ang gagawin ko.
"Chansing ka," bulong nya sabay yakap sa 'kin pabalik.
I chuckled. "Na-miss ko lang 'yung yakap mo. Bago ako magkwento, need ko muna nang pampakalma."
I wanted to tell this to Kuya, but I know he'd get mad at Pip more. Ayoko nang dagdagan pa ang galit nya sa kanya, what happened last night made me realize that his anger towards Pip is beyond that word. He blamed him for losing his sister. Hindi ako ang sinisisi nya dahil si Pip iyon.
But that doesn't change anything from my perspective.
"May nalaman lang ako..." pagsisimula ko nang matapos ang yakapan. "Si Pip... sya iyong boyfriend ni Priscilla..."
