It's been three days after the hateful nightmare...
I'm inside the hospital, bukas makalawa ay pwede na raw akong makalabas. I'm staring at the window in my hospital room as the door opens.
"Rei....."
I looked at the guy who enters and smile a bit to him.
"Kuya Acer..." i mumbled.
"Are you feeling well now?" he sitted beside me and kissed my forehead.
I didn't respond and looks back again outside, watching the bit cloudy sky and I guess it will rain soon...
"Mom and Dad, tumawag sila kanina checking on you...."
"..... and you're friends, they're outside"
Natigilan ako sa huling sinabi ni Kuya. I bited my lips and look at him.
"Want me to let them in?" he said and touch my hair.
I nodded. No one had spoken to me the past days after the incident maliban sa kuya ko.
My brother told me about the day they got me, some students from my school came to rescue me and Reine, then called him on phone. Naabutan na lamang niya ako na nasa hospital and haven't talk to the students who brought me here...
And about Reine? Walang nakakaalam kung nasaan sya...
Kuya smiled. Inayos niya muna ang mga pagkaing pasalubong ng mga kakilala namin wishing me to be well. Nang matapos ay nagpaalam na si kuyang lumabas.
After some minutes, the door opens. Agad na pumasok si Chelsea and give me a reassuring smile, Gian who nodded and Kenzo na walang kibo..
"Athen....."
Chelsea walk towards me and hugged me tight, her teary eyes brought pain and sorrow to me. I know they're trying to weigh things right..
"Glad that you're okay, I guess...." Gian said at pinatong sa mesa ang basket na puno ng prutas..
Kenzo remains silent at umupo lamang sa malapit na couch and look down.
Isang matagal na katahimikan ang nanatili ng wala ni isang magsalita pa sa amin. My eyes started soaring again as all the memories of that nightmare flashes...
"I-i'm sorry....."
Nagsimula na akong mapahikbi ng maalala ang lahat, about Reine and Samuel..
Isang mahigpit na yakap ang isinalubong sa akin ni Chelsea and I started crying so hard.
Sobrang sakit ng dibdib ko na halos hindi ako makahinga. All the outburst of pain, sorrow, guilt and regrets combined. Bumabalik ang lahat ng sakit, the same intensity of what I felt at the time when both of them suffered....
"Cry your tears out, we're here... A-athen.. Don't be sorry. No one's fault okay? Wala kang kasalanan...." Chelsea started crying too.
"N-no it's not! Kasalanan kong lahat!" i hysterically confesses..
"If only I s-stayed! Kung hindi ako lumabas ng hall... k-kung di ko sinundan si Sam t-that night.. maybe.. m-maybe nothing b-bad happened!"
"Stop blaming yourself Athena..." kalmadong sita ni Gian sa akin.
I shake my head, not believing him for I'm responsible for everything! Ako ang dapat sisihin sa lahat.
"N-no, you don't understand...." I sobs.
