Code 37: Mourning Hearts

*** Vaughn's Point Of View ***

"Nawalan po ng control ang aming sinsasakyang unit sa hindi malamang rason.. we found ourselves floating over Divina's Ruins when this sudden explosion occurred.."

Mahinahon na pagpapaliwanag ni Tristan sa harap ng isang closed door meeting together with the higher officials and the crew ng Hertuitz Space Station..

Balot parin ng makakapal na benda ang kanyang noo at nababakas sakanyang mukha ang panghihina..

"Then suddenly all went black.."

Agad akong napatayo mula saaking kinauupuan at marahas na ibignagsak ang aking kamay sa wooden table.. napalingon ang lahat sakin to include Alexander na hindi umiimik mahigit isang linggo na since that incident happend..

"All lies! do you really think na ma coconvince mo ako ng gasgas mong alibi?! ikaw lang ang kasama ni Hagalaz that time! alam kong may kinalaman ka sa pagsabog ng unit! bakit hindi mo nalang aminin sa lahat! you planned all of this don't you!? you eliminated Hagalaz because he was a great threat to your plans!"

Malakas kong bulalas at hindi na pinansin pa ang mga higher officials..

"Threat for what?! That's enough Captain Meinhardt! Don't you dare accuse someone without a concrete proof! I'm warning you! where's your respect and sense of professionalism!?"

Malakas at makapangyarihang utos ni Captain Keith, isa sa mga higher officials na humahawak sa Hertruitz Space Station at sa Academy..

Napahigpit ako ng aking kamao habang tinititigan ng seryoso si Tristan na tila bay iniiwasan ang aking mga tingin..

Napabuntong hininga si Captain Keith at sumandal sa kanyang kinauupuan..

"The said incident, according to the final investigation, was clearly an unintentional aviation accident where in it involved both human error and engine failure.. The rescue search for the retrieval of his remains were already done, at wala silang nakita kahit ni isang trace ng kapitan..wala na tayong magagawa upang ibalik ang lahat sa dati.."

He then took a little sip of coffee on his mug.. napatayo siya together with the other higher ups..

"We have to accept the tragic truth no matter how painful it was.. This is the military and we must move on and do our duties.. I'm terribly sorry.. Captain Hagalaz is one of Xavierheld's best pilots indeed.."

At sa kanyang maikling sinabi ay dahan dahan silang lumabas ng conference hall.. napaupo ako.. I sighed with great disappointment..

Pinagmasdan ko ang pagtayo ni Alexander mula saaking tabi.. it seems that his face turned back to his emotionless state..

"Say.. Alexander..Do you think they're right?"

I said with a low tone voice..napatigil siya ng kanyang lakad saaking likod..

"Sometimes, its better to let things go even it hurts like hell, Vaughn.."

With his gloomy voice he continued to walk palabas ng nasabing conference hall.. napatitig ako saaking kamay as my eyes began to feel heavy with tears again..

"Ill be okay.."

Nanginginig kong bulong saaking sarili..

Is that really what you want me to say, eh, Hagalaz?

*** End of Vaughn's Point Of View ***

*** Tristan's Point Of View ***

Napa sandal ako ng maigi saaking kinauupuan sa loob ng aking silid.. napahawak ako saaking noong mapa hanggang ngayon ay nananakit parin..
