He caught everyone's attention just by asking one thing. It left a huge question mark on our brain, leaving us dumbfounded.
My brother... he's gone. Paano siya matatago ni Axcello sa amin?
"Kast, don't make a scene here! Respeto naman!" Pag-awat sa kaniya ni Blix. Pilit niyang hinihila palayo ang kasama.
"Why?! For what reason?! Don't you know how important he is to this family?!" But Kast was too focused on his anger. Ngayon ko lang siya ulit nakitang ganiti katindi ang galit.
"Kast—"
"Fuck you!" Halos maputol ang ugat ni Kast sa leeg sa ginawa niyang pagsigaw. "Huwag mo ng subukang magpalusot!" Napatakip ako sa bibig ko nang pahampas niyang ibinato kay Axcel ang ilang piraso ng papel na sa tingin ko ay developed photographs.
Axcel remained motionless. Susugurin na sana siya ni Kast kaso agad akong tumakbo at humarang. Hindi ko inintindi ang suot kong high heels.
"Stop! Stop!" I tried my best to protect Axcel from Kast's raging anger. Sa ginawa kong iyon ay tuluyan nang napatayo si Ryde. Lider grabbed my arm, pulling me to the side but I refused to get dragged.
"Erie, kapatid mo ang tinatago niya! Pinoprotektahan mo pa rin 'yan?!" At this point, parang sa akin na mababaling ang inis.
Para akong naubusan ng sasabihin.
"Move, Erie." Sinubukan ni Kast ang lahat para makapagtimpi. "Move. Or you wanted me to speak the truth right infront your face?" His jaw tightened, knuckles shaking. But I know he's not mad at me, he's mad at what I'm doing.
I bit my lower lip, my eyes started to tremble. I'm at loss for words.
Suddenly, I felt a tug on my other arm. Axcel was about to push me aside, maybe to deal with Kast on his own, but I refused again.
"What is this commotion all about?" When I heard dad's strict tone, I ripped my gaze off the person infront of me and kneeled.
"Erie." Tinawag ako ni Axcel at sinubukang itayo pero hindi ko muna siya inintindi. Kahit si Lider na nakapagtatakang tahimik lang sa sulok ay parang gusto akong pigilan.
I didn't mind any of them. I just saw in my peripheral vision that they are looking at me.
Isa-isa kong pinulot ang mga binato ni Kast kanina habang nagpipigil ng luha. Pilit kong hindi tinitingnan ang mga litrato para hindi tuluyang mawala ang natitirang pagpipigil ko.
"Del Riego, what's happening?" Lider was the first person my dad saw.
You know what they're gonna call Axcello once they knew about this?
A betrayer.
Bago pa man din nila ako makita at malaman ang nangyayari ay kaagad kong pinulot ang envelope at hinawakan si Axcel. Kumunot ang noo ni Kast. Wala akong sinabi at hinila na lang si Axcel paalis. Dinaanan ko lang silang lahat maging si Ryde na halatang gusto akong hilahin pabalik. Pero wala rin naman silang nagawa kundi bigyan kami ng daan.
