I closed the door staring at the book the director has given me. I cant say I got what I wanted after having that unsettling conversation with him. It doesnt gave me enough information but it wasnt worthless either.
" ay andyan na pala siya, sige
maya na lang "
I looked up to see the nurse- oh she's Susan. Kasalukuyan siyang may kausap ngunit nagpaalam na siya rito nang mapansin niya ako. Mabilis kong inilipat ang pagkakaipit nung litrato sa bandang gitna ng mga pahina ng libro bago pa man siya makalapit.
" wow, binigyan ka pala ng libro ng director. Ay maganda yan, paborito ng anak ko yang Alice in wonderland, kaso may movie na kasi niyan e. Panuorin mo rin yun, maganda yun. "
Tumango ako sa kanya at ngumiti na lang. I hope this nurse wont get the same fate as Meridith. I really feel sorry for her death. Whoever is behind this must be a coward. He dont want to be exposed so he is willing to kill everyone who is a threat to him.
Pero ano nga bang alam ko ? How can I avenge Meridith's death if I myself wasnt sure of who am I and who am I fighting. There's just too many characters involved.
Isinama na ako ng nurse pabalik sa aking silid. Pasado alas kwatro ng hapon nang marating namin ito.
" Sa June 4 ang discharge mo. Alam mo proud na proud kami sayo ng mga nurse dito. You are our first patient to have recovered. Huwag kang mag-alala may gustong kumuha ng custody mo. Kilala mo na siya diba ? Yung dalaga na bumibisita sayo ? "
Oh well I think I do know her as the director's colleague and associate, doing dirty business. But wait, alam kaya ng mga nurse dito na doctor ang babaeng iyon ?
" I forgot her name. Did you know her ? "
" Si miss Lorraine Delver ang kukuha sayo. Sabi ng director, Mayaman daw ang pamilya nila at may sarili na siyang trabaho. 19 years old na daw siya. Parang magkapatid nga lang kayo tignan oh, hahaha. Mabait naman si miss Lorraine. She will take good care of you. "
" yun lang ang sabi ng director tungkol sa kanya ? Did he mention what kind of job she has ? "
" ah hindi na namin tinanong. Confidential na kasi ang mga information na yan lalo siya ang kukuha ng custody mo or bale siya ang magiging guardian mo. "
That settles it. Ang director nga lang ang nakakaalam na doctor ang babaeng yon. Well its more proper to say only the three of us are aware of what is really going on.
Susan brushed my hair before leaving me in my padded room. Muli kong binuksan ang libro at pinagmasdan muli ang batang Leafglow. Then the other 10 patients standing with him.
Whats with the kid and his eerie smile ?
Siya lang ang bukod tanging nakangiti sa litrato at may kulay puting buhok. Well, may isang lalaki na kulay pula ang buhok pero halatang kinulayan niya lang ito.
While on the other hand the kid's hair looks real. All of them except for Leafglow is wearing a clean white coat with a red armband on their left.
Just who the hell are these people ?
Napa buntong hininga na lang ako.
June 4 ?
Thats 6 days from now. What am I supposed to do ? I wanted to stay here but the director is determined to let me out and everything is already done. From that woman who will took me in, then to the fabricated documents of my identity. What the hell is up with all this ?
I want to stay here but what are my chances to defend myself ? Ano namang laban ko sa director ? The only thing I must be worried about is what will it be once I got out ? I only got 6 days left. Am I ready ?
