Sobrang aga naman yata ng Oi Prokliseis ngayon?
A permanent frown has been etched on my face ever since I read the message.
What does this mean? Iiinterrogate ba sila? Totorturin? Ano?
Natapos na si Mel sa paggamot sa mga sugat na natamo ko sa hospital room ni mama.
"I'm really sorry for my outburst." My flat voice was heard inside the room.
"It's not your fault." Sabi sa akin ni Mel. Hinawakan niya ang mukha ko at pilit na hinaharap sa kaniya.
"Ikaw ba namang utusan na patayin ang ina mo, hindi ka magagalit?" Mel asked but soon realized after that that was what she had done to me.
We both laughed at the unexpected humor.
"You have to change your clothes, you have blood all over it." Mel changed the topic.
I'm having a sense of Déjà vu in this situation but regardless, I did what she said.
Parehas kamig nagpalit ng damit bago pumasok sa elevator at pinindot ang
"your mom is stable now, right? Saglit lang naman tayo kanina doon. Why don't we sneak her in the surveillance room para ma-asses niya yung situation at kung ano ang dapat gawin?" pagbabasag ni Mel sa katahimikan sa loob ng elevator.
"What are they even gonna do in the interrogation room, love?"
She just shrugged.
"I don't know, Spade. But we just have to trust the founders on this."
I just sighed and went to press the 3rd floor button in the elevator. When we arrived on the 3rd floor, we went to the infirmary where my mom's room is located.
"Hey mom, you can stop pretending to be asleep now." I said to her.
She opened her right eye and looked at us, relieved.
"Thank God it's just you two." Sabi niya at pinagtatanggal na ang mga nakakabit na machine sa katawan niya pati ang Dextrose niya.
"Uh... Mom, can you just chill for a bit? Bakit ka ba nagmamadali, May pupuntahan ka ba?" tanong ko sa kaniya habang inaalalayan siya umupo sa kama.
"Sinusundo niyo ako diba? Pupunta tayo sa interrogation room para sa kuya mo."
"Eh? Paanong—"
"Pinag-uusapan ng mga doctors kanina yung pagdating ng Delestria dito sa Mafia HQ. And since when did our location became public knowledge huh?" tanong ni mama sa amin habang inaayos ang sarili niya at papalabas na ng kwarto.
"It didn't." I merely said habang inunahan ko siyang lumabas at tumingin muna sa paligid. Baka may makakita kay mama, patay na.
All the while, tahimik lang si Mel na nakaalalay kay mama.
"Let's go." Sabi ko nung nakita kong wala nang tao sa paligid at dumeretso kami sa elevator para makapunta sa interrogation room.
A comfortable silence resided in the lift, me relieved that mom is alive.
"Ms. Queen!" narinig kong sabi ni Mel na natarantang inalalayan ulit si mama dahil nanghina siya bigla.
"I'm okay, dear. I've had worse." Sabi ni mama ko habang tinatapik ng marahan ang kamay ni Mel na nakaalalay sa kaniya.
Biglang tumalim naman ang mata ni mama at tinignan kaming dalawa.
"Speaking of," biglang sumugod sa akin si mama at pinaghahampas ang ulo ko.
