-Chapter 6-

"Kailangan mo ba talagang umalis agad, Ate Kaley..?"

malungkot na tanong ni Joseph

Malungkot naman akong tumango at mahigpit din na yumakap pabalik rito.

Madaling araw pa lang kaya walang masyadong tao.

Alam ng magkapatid na aalis ako, sila din ang tumulong sa aking makahanap ng karwaheng masasakyan.

"Kelan ka babalik?"

"...."

"Ate kaley, pwede bang sumama?"

"No! Absolutely no! Hindi pa sure kong wala ngang masamang mangyayari sa paglalakbay ko! ayokong mapahamak ka, naiintindihan mo ba?"

"Pero.... paano ka din?.. What if you're the one who get hurt?... then..."

"....Joseph.. Listen to me... Mas mabuti na ako yung masaktan keysa ikaw.."

"......"

"Haaa..."

Rinig kong malakas na pagbuntong hininga ni Nevel sa gilid namin. Tumingala kami pareho ni Joseph sa kanya. Napakamot nalang sa ulo niya si Nevel at tumingin sa amin ng diretso.

"Kaley... you two should go already!"

She said cheerfully.

Napalaki naman ng konti ang mga mata ko.

It takes a minute to realize what she really meant.

"Wait! Ate Nevel! Can I really go with Ate Kaley?! "

bakas ang sayang tanong ni Joseph, Nevel nodded and I frowned deeply.

"Nevel.. He is still a kid. We wont know what will happen in the way! What if Joseph will get hurt?!"

"Kaley... You don't need to worry..."

"....."

"'Joseph can defend himself. Don't forget that we are from the Prideful Cat Tribe. Hindi kami kapareho ng mga normal na tao. We're strong... so let him go with you..."

Seryosong saad ni Nevel while looking at me direct to the eyes.

My frown faded.

If you look at me like that.. I can't really refuse can I?

Nevel is right...

"Ate Kaley... Please..?"

Joseph made her infamous puppy eyes to me.

agad ko namang tinakpan ang ilong ko baka kasi may tumulong dugo!

"...O-okay! I got it!..."

"HURRAAAYYY! HURRAAAYY!"

nagtatalong sigaw ni Joseph

I sweat dropped. At naiiyak na tumingin kay Nevel. She just smiled widely at me!

This siblings!

"Umalis na kayo naghihintay na si Manong Droz!"

sabi ni nevel at itinulak na ako palapit sa karwahe na sasakyan namin.

Teka..what about Joseph's belongings?

"T-Teka... Nevel! What about Joseph---"

"Oh, you mean.. mga gamit niya?... Tapos ko na balutin..Nasa karwahe na lahat!"

putol niya sa tanong ko. Ngumisi pa siya ng pagkalaki laki.

"What? Dont tell me.. you really plan on sending joseph with me all this time?"

gulat kong tanong

She just smiled again and pushed me again.

"You can nag me later after your return!"

She said and tinulak ako ulit papasok ng karwahe.

She closed the door and looked at us from oitside the carriage's door.

"You must return in order for you to do that... I will be waiting to you guys! Have a safe trip!"

Sabi niya at she smiled genuinely.

"Take care of each other got it?! And oh! Joseph!... remember that I'll punish you if you let Kaley get hurt!!"

wait what?

bakit ako?

She should be saying that i'll get punished if hahayaan kong masaktan ang kapatid niya!

"I'll remember it!"

sigaw pabalik ni Joseph.

Nagsimula ng umandar ang karwahe.

Umupo na naman ng maaayos si Joseph. His smile never faded.

His cat ears are still standing straightly, his tails are wiggling.. He's really happy...

Well, It's not bad..

Mas mabuti na siguro to kaysa palagi ko siyang mamimiss. At least... hindi ko na nararamdaman na mag isa ako.

Maybe this journey will get more interesting..

"Joseph.. are you really that happy?"

"Of course! I love Ate Kaley the most! I wont let you get hurt! I'll protect you! I promised that!"

Hahaha......

Joseph so cute~

"Arghh..."

Dull black eyes stared in the cloudy sky.

He breath harshly too

The severe pain he felt are unbearable.

Ang mga sugat sa iba't ibang parte ng katawan niya na natamo niya mula sa pambubogbog ng ibang mga tao ay mas lalong sumakit.

He gritted his teeth in pain

He wanted to shouth but naalala niya..

na kung sisigaw siya.. babalik ang mga iyun para bubugbugin siya ulit.

No one will help me so there's no point to shout.

His eyes were full of helplessness.

No one will help him...

No one will save him...

There's no point of trying to get hopeful..

In this cruel world...

There's no such thing as.... Salvation....

The man closed his eyes...

He smiled bitterly...
