Going Home

"Can you leave us alone?" Iyon agad ang naging bungad ni Angel nang makabalik sila ni Anton sa kwarto ni Inigo.

Naroon pa rin sila Irish at Romanova maliban kay Samuel. They are talking about Inigo's successful operation.

"Yeah sure." Sabi ni Irish. Tumango naman si Romanova at tahimik sila na naglakad palabas sa kwarto.

"Thank you." Angel said. Irish and Romanova just smiled at her.

"I'll be downstairs." bulong ni Anton kay Angel. Ngumiti at tumango lang sa kanya si Angel kaya umalis na rin si Anton.

Nang tuluyan na makaalis si Anton ay pumasok na sya loob ng kwarto at sinarado ang pinto. Tanging tunog ng makina na lang ang maririnig sa loob ng kwarto dahil sa katahimikan.

Angel took a dep sigh and encourage herself to take another step. Umupo sa couch malapit sa kama si Angel at tumingin sa kanyang kapatid na nakahiga at nakatingin lang sa kaniya. He looks better than earlier.

"How are you?" she asks. Umiwas sya ng tingin sa kanyang kapatid. She really felt the awkward feeling between them.

"Fine." he answered. Medyo mahina ang boses ni Inigo kaya naman tumayo si Angel at naupo sa dulo ng kama. "Can you help me sit?" napatingin naman si Angel nang sabihin iyon ni Inigo kaya agad syang tumayo at mas lumapit upang tulungan si Inigo.

Kinuha nya ang ilang unan at nilagay iyon sa gilid ni Inigo, malapit sa kanya upang madaling kuhanin. Marahan nyang sinilid ang kanyang kamay sa likuran ni Inigo at marahan na inangat ito. Matapos nya itong iangat ay nilagay naman ni Angel ang unan sa likuran ni Inigo upang may masandalan ito.

"Thank you." marahan na sabi ni Inigo. Bakas pa rin sa kanyang boses ang panghihina. Bago pa man maka-alis si Angel sa kanyang tabi ay marahan nya itong hinatak upang umupo sa tabi nya.

"Aren't you hurt?"tanong ni Inigo at sinipat ang kanyang mga braso upang tignan kung mayroon itong galos.

"You shouldn't be asking me that when you're in this situation." Inigo just chuckled. "Was being shot and almost get killed were part of your plan?" Angel couldn't help but to sound sarcastic. Sino ba naman kasi ang matutuwa sa kalagayan ng kanyang kapatid?

"Yes and no." kumunot ang noo ni Angel dahil sa naging sagot ng binata. The answer ws indeed vague for her to fully comprehend. "Yes, being shot was part of the plan. Getting killed wasn't." he explained, trying to make sense out his vague answer.

"I almost..." a tear fell on her cheek. "....lost you." she continued. Her voice was cracking as she couldn't help herself but to feel really emotional.

Inigo slowly reach for her face and wipe her tears away.

"But I'm here. You won't lose me." Nang sabihin iyon ni Inigo ay hindi na napigilan ni Angel at napahagulgol na siya lalo. His words are soothing her chaos soul.

"Do you even know how mad I was the moment I saw that bitch aiming her gun at you while you were soaking in your own blood? I almost tried to shoot her head." May halong pagrereklamo ang tono ng pananalita ni Angel. Para itong bata na nagsusumbong dahil inagawan ng candy at handa na sapakin ang umagaw sa kanyang candy.

"Well, we initially wanted to lock her up and blow the building." Angel arches her left brow.

"Then why was she still alive the moment I arrived?" she asked with so much curiosity,
