Hiroki Orosa

Agad akong napadilat nang marinig ang mahinang paghikbi ng aking katabi.

Agad kong ipinulupot ang bisig ko sakaniya at binigyan ng mumunting halik ang kaniyang sentido.

“Ssshh Raven, it’s alright.” Bulong ko rito.

“Stop! Stop! Stop! Aahh!” Sigaw nito sa kaniyang pagtulog.

Agad akong bumangon at hinawakan ang kaniyang pisngi. Pawis na pawis ito at damang-dama ko ang bigat ng kaniyang paghinga.

“Raven. Raven. Wake up!” Sigaw ko rito. Tumigil ito sa pagsigaw at dahan-dahang idinilat ang kaniyang mata.

Bigla namang bumukas ang pintuan ng kwarto pati ng ilaw at iniluwa noon si Hades na halatang nagising lang rin.

“What happened? Are you okay?” Nag-aalalang tanong nito.

“Yes Hades Riel. Thanks. You can sleep now.” Puno ng sinseridad kong sabi na agad niyang ikinatango.

“If you need something, just call me guys.” Sabi nito at saka umalis na muli. Agad kong itinuon kay Raven ang atensiyon ko na ngayon ay nakaupo na at yakap-yakap ang kaniyang mga tuhod.

“Rave-“ Hindi ko pa natatapos ang sasabihin ko ng bigla nanaman niya akong niyakap.

“Hiro, I’m still scared. Please help me.” She said in between her sobs.

Agad ko rin itong niyakap habang dahan-dahang hinahagod ang kaniyang likuran.

This mysterious feeling I felt for her is not a mystery anymore.

I love her.

Her actions during that time was reckless, but I thank her bulletproof vest because she didn’t get serious injuries.

“I’ll stay with you. No more Pentagon for now, but still I’ll keep you safe every day.” I replied.

Tumango-tango lamang ito bago kumalas sa yakap.

“Let’s sleep.” She said before lying to our bed again.

I laid beside her putting her head on my arms and pulling her to an embrace.

She rested her head on my chest while I played with her hair.

A minute passed and we dozed ourselves to sleep.

What happened to Pentagon has been making its noise to the news. Thanks for Raven’s parents, our name wasn’t involved on any news. I am now innocent, and Raven and I are getting better.

She woke up early to cook breakfast. I am now sitting on the dining table and sipping my coffee before Hades showed up with his messy long hair. We are now living in the same unit. Raven didn’t mind having us and sleeping with me. Which makes me happy because there are no awkwardness between us.

It is now sembreak and we are trying to make our lives better by trying to accept what happened.

Dra. Roff went to our unit yesterday to apologize and to cry. It must have been hard for her mourning for her brother who died twice. I still don’t get why Kuya Hepe done it, but not everything he said is right.

Linda is already in jail paying the price that she did. She already apologized and Raven accepted it right away.
