In The Name Of Gun, Die

Captured

Cat pov

It's been three days, Aunt Fhe is here with me. Kauuwi niya lang kahapon. And she told me that She's okay, kaya nandito nanaman kami sa ospital.

I already told her what happened. Im am so ashamed of it. It's my fault after all.

"Catty, hija don't blame yourself. Hindi natin ginusto ang nangyari kay Alec"

Ilang beses na niyang sinabi iyan but still, i know deep inside of me ako talaga ang dahilan nito.

-------

"Catty? Where's Alec?"

Imbes na sagutin siya ay niyakap ko ito at humungi ako ng sorry. Sorry ak ng sorry kay Aunt Fhe about Alec.

"Catty. Tell me what's wrong hija?"

"Aunt Fhe it's all my fault. Im sorry. Mas pinili kong manatili kesa ang sumama..im so sorry. But he's battling for he's life. Sumabog ang ero--"

God i cant tell her. My heart squeezes whenever i tried to talk. I dont know if she understand me.

"Catty are you okay? Oh, darling it's not your fault. Shhh it's not your fault"

How does she do that? Ako ang may kasalanan kung bakit naaksidente si Alec. It's me!

"No. Aunt, kasalanan ko. I know. Ako"

"Catty? Alec will not be happy if he hear you saying such things. Let's go to him"

----------

"He'll be fine right Aunt?"

"Of course, masamang damo iyan. Mana sa tatay niya" i dont know my Aunt's story. Hindi rin naman sinasabi sa akin ni Alec kung sino ang tatay niya. And it's fine.

"Queen, kami muna ang magbabantay kay Alec. Umuwi muna kayo"

I nod with Lilac and Dy. We went out the hospital and rode the car going home. Ng makarating kami ay bumungad sa akin si Lolo. Niyakap naman niya ako, ng makita niya si Aunt ay binati niya ito

"Fhemora"

"Don Greogery"

I excused myself and went to my room. Alam kong maguusap sila. Walang tensyon sa oagitan nila maybe they stay civil for my sake.

"Sweet?" I turn my back and face Rix, nakasandal ito sa pintuan. Lumapit naman agad ito at ikinulong ako sa mainit niyang braso. I hug him back. I feel safe kapag nakayakap ako sa kanya

"How's Alec?"

"The doctors said he's doing good. But still, he is sleeping"

Hinawakan naman niya ako sa pisngi at hinalikan ang noo ko. I closed my eyes to feel the heat coming from his lips.

"He'll wake up soon. Don't stress yourself. Wash up first and we'll go downstairs"

Tumango ako at pumasok sa banyo. Matapos kong maglinis ay lumabas ako, naabutan kong nakaupo si Rix sa sofa habang nakalatag ang damit mong susuotin sa kama. Nagbihis ako at inaya agad si Rix na bumaba.

"Catty...oh. Hendrix" my Aunt greeted us. Inaya niya kami sa hapag at nagsimula na kaming kumain, nagpahatid na rin ng pagkain para kina Lilac at Dy sa ospital.

"Hendrix, can i talk you?" Napatigil kami ni Rix sa pag akyat ng sinabi iyon ni Aunt Fhe

"Go, i'll just talk with your Aunt" i nod at him, umalis na sila at nagpunta sa labas ng mansion

"Henrix, can i talk to you?" Sweet and I stop, later i told Sweet she go up first.
