Goes on
In a time-lapse, it's almost impossible to see a clear picture. Time was moving fast. Fast as the speed of light.
Habang tinitignan ko ang mabilis na paggalaw ng lahat sa mga katagang binitawan ni Walter ay hindi ko na magawang huminga ng maayos pa. It seems like all of the soldiers here, probably around twenty or thirty, were strucked by lightning. And they became one. I couldn't caught one steady movement from them.
Lahat ay may hawak-hawak ng telepono. Samu't saring mga salita ang pumuno sa paligid. Marshal was commanding something. Shouting on the top of his lungs. Kita ko rin ang biglaang pamamawis niya. Parang hindi na niya ako nakita pa nang tumakbo na siya palabas sa kwarto.
I saw him behind the glass wall. He went in front of the computers with his heavy breathing. Fear was visible on his eyes. I saw Yarah. She was on another phone. Sapo-sapo niya rin ang ulo niya. May lumabas na salita mula sa kanya bago biglang binagsak ang telepono sa katabing lamesa nito at kumiparas ng takbo sa labas.
The same as everyone. Gusto kong takpan ang tenga ko sa nagsasamong mga boses. The thumping of their boots when they made their ways to run, to grab papers, to type on the computers. Some even grabbed guns piled on one side of the tent.
Napatulala nalang ako sa lahat.
Worth was calling me, whispering to my ear trying to have my attention but I can't find my voice to answer him. Nalaawang lang ang baba kong pinagmamasdan ang lahat sa likod ng salamin.
They were all in alert.
"S-She has been here... Hiding..."
I averted my eyes to Walter. Napaigtad ako sa boses niya. May isang sundalong nakahawak sa laylayan ng damit nito at nakataas ang isang kamao sa ere, umaamba ng suntok.
"Bellemy,"
Naalis ang tingin ko sa kanya nang hinawakan na mismo ni Worth ang dalawang pisngi kong pwersahang inangat ang tingin ko sa kanya.
"Are you calm?" Seryoso niyang tanong. Nanatili ang mga mata niya sakin, hindi niya inintindi ang mga nangyayari sa paligid.
Hindi ako nakasagot at sinubukang ayusin ang paghinga.
Nang lumuwag ang pakiramdam ko ay nagmulat ako at umangat ng tingin sa kanya. I hold on to the helm of his shirt. Trying to bring back my calm senses and strength.
Mabilis akong tumango.
Gumaan naman ang pag-aalala sa mukha niya. Nahuli ko ang pagbaba ng tingin niya sa tiyan ko. His brows furrowed and brought his eyes back to mine.
"It doesn't hurt." Despite of the buzzing noises, I managed to made sure if it to him. I know he will ask if it hurts, or if I feel anything which I don't. I am perfectly fine, I just need to control my breathing.
Napatango naman siya. Hawak-hawak niya ako nang may kinuha siya sa bulsa niya. I think it was radiophone or a transmitter. This one's different from he used before.
He pulled a small cable and tapped something in the sides. Dinala niya iyon sa tenga niya habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sakin. His head remained lowered to me. I didn't left his eyes too when he started speaking.
"Meda, it's me. Listen to me carefully," mahinahon ngunit matigas niyang sambit. "Who you think you saw was right. It was Floraza. She was--" Kumawala malutong na mura sa kanya. I can tell Andromeda cut him off.
A siren echoed inside. Mas lalo pang umingay ang paligid dahil roon. Hindi umalis ang titig ko kay Worth.
Napahimas siya sa ulo niya. Pumikit siya ng mariin bago umiling-iling. "Listen. I don't fucking care how mad you are to me, okay?! For now, you need to get away from there--No, no. Don't alarm anybody there. It'll be obvious, she might notice it, and it's too early. We can't risk the villagers panicking--Yes, it was possible. The missing device..."
