CHAPTER 7: JACKET

She was relieved when Doc. Winnie told her that her sister was far from danger. Pumasok siya sa loob nang makausap ng doctor ang kapatid. Simula 'nung maganap ang kasunduan nila ng misteryosong doktor na 'yon ay unti-unting bumuti ang kalagayan nito.

Mulat ang kaniyang mga mata at dahan-dahang kinilatis muna ang paligid bago dumapo ang mga mata sakaniya. In a split second, she thought she saw her the astonishment in her eyes.

"I was sick worried to you." lapit nya rito. "I thought I would lost you."

"W-Why I am here? Anong nangyari?"

"You were dragged down through the steep abyss. Mabuti nalang hindi ga'non kalalim ang bangin na binagsakan mo." she said. "The investigator stated that your car's break was busted even your tires. They said someone might have been plotted this beforehand. Pero wala akong naiisip na naging kaaway natin. Maaari raw na may taong galit saakin at ikaw ang napagbuntungan. But I don't remember a single person that hated me. Not that i know."

"Yah right! You're supposed to be here not me!" she heard her mumbled something that was unclear to her.

"Did you say anything?"

"Ahm...I said I-I don't know either."

She let out a heavy sigh. "If the investigator was true about his hunch, whoever that person might be, I would rather take all the grudge they had over me. Huwag lang sila mandamay ng iba."

Malungkot siyang tinignan ng kapatid. "Sorry ate if i made you so worried." she trailed off. "Sana pala hindi ko muna ginamit 'yung regalo mo. Para hindi ako...naaksidente."

Behind her sorrowful face was hid the evil smirk on it.

Her chest become heavy. Naalala niya na ang ginamit nitong sasakyan ay ang regalong binigay niya rito. Pero sigurado siyang maayos ang kalagayan ng sasakyan ng kapatid bago niya ibigay ito sakaniya. Kung pinostpone niya muna ang regalo niya, hindi sana ito maaaksidente.

Maybe...maybe it's her fault too.

"You shouldn't apologize. Ako dapat ang humihingi ng tawad dahil hindi kita napangalagaan. Nangako pa naman ako sa mga magulang natin na aalagaan kita hanggat sa makakaya ko. But...but i failed."

"It's already done. We should stop blaming ourselves. Nangyari na at wala na tayong magagawa." hinawakan nito ang kaniyang kamay. "We should thank God because He let me survive."

Mabilis na sumagi sakaniya ang mga nangyari ng gabing iyon. Pati ang malalim na boses nito na tila nakaukit na sakaniyang isip.

"Please save my sister! Gagawin ko ang lahat pagalingin mo lang sya. Nagmamakaawa ako."

"Okay. I'll let her live but in one condition..."

"Be my bride...'

"Be my bride...'

"Be my bride...'

"Be my bride...'

"Ate, ate? Ate ayos ka lang?" her sister's voice broken her reverie.

"O-Oo naman. Pagod lang siguro ako."

"You should go home and rest for awhile. You looked exhausted. I can take care of myself."
