Memories Of The Wind (Passion Series #3)

Chapter 16

Bumalikwas ako at gumising na pawisan at humihingal-hingal. My heart is pounding so fast. Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang aking sarili at nakitang maayos na damit na ang suot ko ngayon.

Gusto kong isipin na ang nangyari ay isang bangungot lamang pero hindi.. ramdam at alam kong totoo iyon.

I hit a child by a car! Fuck!

How is he? Did someone already bring him to the hospital?

I covered my mouth, a sob suddenly escaped from there. Nanginginig ako at napayakap sa aking tuhod. I am inside my room right now. Someone brought me here, I don't know who was it. Nilingon ko ang pintuan at nakitang nakabukas iyon. Natanaw ko mula rito sa loob sina Aquisha at Jaxxon na nag-uusap.

"She have to see a psychiatrist, Aquisha," banayad na dikta ni Jaxxon.

"Nandito ka naman, eh!" naiinis na sabi ni Aki.

"I am not a psychiatrist, Aki," mahinahong sabi ni Jaxx. "She needs a psychiatrist, she have to be healed. She's---"

"Why? Can't you heal her?" Aki's question cut him out. "Zani is not allowed to leave her place or to meet someone! Tanging ako lamang at ikaw, ni kahit nga pamilya niya'y pinagbabawal na makipagkita sa kaniya dahil sa nangyari!"

"Hindi man puwede pero kailangan niyang kumunsulta sa psychiatrist," giit ni Jaxxon. "She's suffering from something and.." Hindi matuloy ni Jaxxon ang kaniyang sinasabi, sa halip ay umiling lamang siya kay Aki. "I have to go now. Please take care of her, Aquisha."

I was hugging myself when Aquisha eventually entered my room. Jaxxon is not around, he went to his work probably. I know he doesn't want to leave me in this situation although Aquisha was here so he decided to go to his work. I understand his passion and even though I don't want him to leave, he still have to go because other people need his help more than I need him.

"Nagmamadali si Jaxx, hindi na siya nakapagpaalam sa 'yo," bungad ni Aki sa akin.

Mabilis akong umupo nang matuwid at inayos ang sarili ko. Inalis ko ang luha sa aking mga mata at pinahiran ang aking pisngi para maalis din ang luha ko roon. Aquisha noticed it, she's staring at me.

"What really happened, Zani?" she gently asked as she sat on the space on my bed. "You hit a child by a car, and it was Sir Bruce's car. Tapos nawalan ka ng malay at.. 'yong damit mo, gusot-gusot at punit-punit. Hindi ko maintindihan, Zani, ano ang nangyari? Bakit umabot sa ganoon? Bakit nagkaganoon? And where's Sir Bruce? Tanging ikaw lang ang naroon sa sasakyan. It was happened yesterday and the investigators found out that someone cut the wire kaya hindi ka nakapag-brake. Nalilito ako, Zan, kasi.. bakit umabot sa ganoon ang lahat?"

Tinakpan ko ang mukha ko at humagulgol na lang, walang lumabas na boses mula sa bibig ko dahil tila naputulan ako ng dila, hindi ako makapagsalita. Aquisha pulled my hand and hugged me tightly. There's no voice coming out from my mouth when I tried to speak. Napayakap na lang din ako kay Aquisha at humikbi sa kaniyang balikat.

"Umalis si Jaxxon, he is the child's doctor," Aquisha broke the silence later on.

Napakalas ako ng yakap sa kaniya at tiningnan siya sa kaniyang mga mata. She smiled sadly and wiped the tears on my cheeks. Patuloy pa rin sa pag-agos ang mga luha ko.

Nag-sink in sa isipan ko ang sinabi niya. Kaya pala nagmamadali si Jaxx dahil siya ang doktor ng batang nabangga ko? Hindi ko alam.. pero sa nalaman ko ngayon ay mas lalo akong napahikbi.
