DENNIS PRINCE SALVADOR
Galit. Iyon ang dala-dala ni Trevor habang tahimik itong nakaupo sa kaniyang kama sa loob ng infirmary. He hasn't said anything except for some curses he'd suddenly throw out. Sa tuwing gagawin niya ang bagay na iyon ay magkakatinginan lang kami ni Jeric. Hanggang ngayon ay wala kaming ideya sa kung ano ba ang dahilan ng galit niya.
It was already day five of their recovery. Ayon naman sa doktor ay bumubuti na ang lagay nila. Ilang araw pa ay pwede na silang kumilos.
"Ano ba kasi ang dahilan ng pagmumura mo? Bakit galit na galit ka diyan?" Jeric impatiently asked Trevor.
"Because his girlfriend is at the hands of our enemies, and there are no certainties when it comes to her safety," Artemis suddenly barged into the conversation. She was regularly visiting the two and checking in on them. Kahit hindi magkadugo ay makikita mong may pakialam ito.
"Anyway, Sphere Zero will be here any minute to check your recovery. There is a possibility that our retrieval operation might be moved earlier if they think these two are suitable to go out into the field," pagpapatuloy nito.
"Ayos na ako, hindi naman kasing lala ng lagay ni Trevor ang lagay ko," Terrence claimed, na mukhang naging dahilan kung bakit nainis si Trevor. Pinagdiskitahan nito ang bulaklak sa flower base sa tabi ng kaniyang kama at marahas niyang tinanggal ang petals no'n.
True to what Artemis said, both Sir Larry and Sir Joseph entered the infirmary. Gumilid muna kami ni Jeric para hindi kami gaanong mapansin ng dalawang matanda.
Trevor drew a sharp breath and calmed himself. Kauna-unawa ang agitation nito pero kung gusto niyang makumbinsi ang dalawang ito na talagang handa na siyang sumabak sa kung ano man ay dapat maipakita niyang kaya na rin ng kaniyang mental at emotional capacity.
There was something probably deeper than being bothered that Leirin was in the hands of the enemy. Baka may alam si Art, I will ask her later.
"Kumusta kayong dalawa?" tanong ni Sir Larry.
Kahit naman anak ni Sir Joseph ang dalawang ito ay hindi siya ang magtatanong. It's not his thing to show how much he cares for his children. He just shapes them into someone like him, someone strong enough to handle themselves. Someone surviving without the need to depend on others. Ang hirap tuloy pagsilbihan ni Art.
"I'm doing good, Sir. Kaya ko na," magalang na sagot ni Terrence na ngayon ay prenteng nakaupo sa kaniyang kama.
"Trevor?" pagbaling ni Sir Larry kay Trevor.
"I feel better," tipid na sagot ng magaling kong kaibigan. Mahahalata mong may gusto siyang idagdag pero hindi niya itinuloy.
"Are we going to roll the mission out? They both seem strong enough to handle it," Artemis inquired.
Sir Larry looked at Sir Joseph. Anak niya ang nasa panganib pero bakit si Sir Joseph ang magdedesisyon?
"Not yet, not with Trevor's condition," sagot ni Sir Joseph.
