Lifeless

I was taken back into my senses when I heard someone speak outside of my door.

"Davin." A soft voice called me.

Hindi ako nagsalita at umupo sa harapan ng pintuan ko, I know Adi's outside my room.

"I know you're still awake, your Dad called me."

I stayed silent while I'm listening to her voice, her voice really makes everything feel alright.

"Was it true? Wa she really-"

Hindi niya na natapos pa ang kaniyang sasabihin at narinig ko ang mahina niyang paghikbi.Tumingala ako sa kisame ng kwarto ko bago malalim na bumuntong-hininga.

"Kaya pala tinawagan niya ako noong isang araw, she asked me to visit her, she told me she needed me but I was too busy mourning for my sister, her angel is not by her side when she needed her angel the most. I'm sorry."

She paused for a while before she speak again.

"When I heard the news, I couldn't believe it, nong una si Ate tapos ngayon siya..." mahina niyang sabi. "I've decided to give this to you, just...open it up, I hope it'll make you feel good."

Nakita kong may ipinasok na isang envelope si Adi sa pintuan ko kaya agad ko itong kinuha. It was a white one with words written outside.

"When your memories finally fade away, when your hair turned to gray, when you can't walk nor talk someday, your little angel will always stay."

Binuksan ko ang enevelope at nakita ko ang samut-saring litrato ni Dayn, some of them were stolen pictures of her in the hospital, ang iba naman doon ay magkasama sila ni Nicky, ni Adi, ni Dad, at ang iba nama'y kasama niya ako. There are words attached in each photos, simple sayings that could make your tears fall.

The smile etched on Dayn's face is indescribable, I smiled while I slowly touched the photos where my sister is alive, breathing, and smiling.

Adi compiled this all. Once again, I put it in my chest as I whispered the words I love you.

"Tatawagan ko na si Adayna, Davinson!" sigaw sa akin ni Myca para marinig ko siya.

The loud music inside the bar is somehow easing the pain I'm feeling, maraming tao ang nasa loob at nagsisigawan, I can finally think of something other than being in pain. I drunk the fifth glass of beer before I looked at her.

"Don't call her, she's tired." I said.

Agad akong pinanlakihan ng mata ni Myca ng may babaeng biglang lumapit sa akin, Daniel talked to the girl before the girl walk away.

"Fuck, my head hurts." I groaned.

"Adi, puntahan mo muna si Davin dito, she's drunk, I don't know what do." Narinig kong sabi ni Myca kaya inangat ko ang tingin ko sa kaniya. "Ite-text ko sayo ang lugar, he's unstoppable for pete's sake." Sabi ni Myca na tila stress na stress na siya sa akin.

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil umiikot na ang paningin ko.Daniel got the shot glass from my hand and put it beside.

"Tama na yan tol, Adi's probably worried, ilang ulit ka na niyang tinatawagan." Daniel said kaya pinatay ko naman ang cellphone ko na nakapatong sa lamesa before I looked at his girlfriend, Myca.

"Myca, ayoko siyang maabala, s-she's tired too."

"But you needed her right now..."

"Ang tanong kailangan din ba niya ako ngayon?" wala sa sariling tanong ko.
