Chapter 71

Silence.

Everyone went on silence.

My eyes slowly turned to Commander Mitts, then to Engr. Wright, to Graham Bell who's also astonished as fuck, to Commander Sanders with unreadable expression and lastly to him. To my husband who can't look into my eyes.

"W-What now? What are we going to do? This is suicide." Muli akong humarap kay Commander Mitts.

We heard everything. I heard everything! Kahit hindi ako kasing talino ni Pedro o ni Commander Sanders alam ko ang ibig sabihin ng pinagsasabi ng hayop na si Shiela sa video.

"This is suicide, Commander Mitts. Engr. Wright, do you have a plan? Do we need to do something? You can't expect that we'll do that stupid plan of Wilson, there will be no sacrifices Commander." Ako na lamang ang nakakapagsalita habang nananatiling tahimik ang lahat.

Pansin ko na marahang tumungo si Commander Mitts habang nahihirapan namang humarap sa monitor si Engr. Wright.

"This is impossible!" halos sumigaw na ako.

Muli akong humarap kay Pedro, sa pagkakataong ito ay hantaran kong sinalubong ang kanyang mga mata.

"You won't do it, right? There's another way, right Peter? Right baby?" I heard my own begging voice.

I tiptoed and held his face while looking into his deep blue eyes.

"There will be no sacrifices, right? Right baby?"

"Behati," marahan niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay kong nakahawak sa kanyang pisngi.

"Y-You promised me, nangako ka sa akin Peter." Nanunumbat na ang aking mga salita.

"Of course, we'll fight Behati." Mahinang sagot niya sa akin.

Sa kabila ng kasagutan niyang ito, hindi man lang kumalma ang kaba sa aking dibdib.

"How did this happen" narinig kong tanong ni Graham Bell. "She announced that she installed a blaster that will tear the asteroid apart, didn't you check it Engr. Wrights? This is still part of your job. Do have your own data about this plane?"

"I lacked of time and besides the ninety-five percent operation of Marsian 7832 was under Shiela Wilson's team. I failed to check it for the last time, I'm sorry." Graham Bell cursed.

"That's it? Sorry? Look what happened now? We're about to sacrifice someone inside this plane, you shouldn't let Wilson operate the whole plane's functionality that will be under a serious mission. She's a psychopath bitch." Angil ni Graham Bell.

Muling kaming nabalot ng katahimikan, pero sa huli ako rin ang unang nagsalita.

"This is my damn fault, I didn't check the plane. This Marsian 7832 was damn oriented with me and when Wilson gave the false information, I didn't even bother to confirm her information. I trusted the bitch. This is all my fault."

Shit.

"Damn it, this is all my fault." Nagpaulit-ulit ang mga salita kong ito.

Dapat ay inayos ko ang trabaho ko, dapat ay sa halip na panuorin si Peter sa kanyang misyon ay ginawa ko ang sarili kong trabaho. I should have checked my own assigned plane earlier!

"Behati, hey calm down." Hinawakan ni Peter ang mga balikat ko at iniharap niya ako sa kanya.

Hinawakan niya ang aking pisngi at pilit niya akong pinapakalma.
