Becca
*Sirens
I wake up because of the wailing sound of an ambulance and a police car, it’s ringing in my head loudly
“M-mom?”
I heard freemo’s voice and I suddenly realized where we are
dumagsa ang takot sa dibdib ko ng hindi ko maigalaw ang buong katawan ko
“Mommy..”
my eyes slowly open and the first thing I saw is freemo’s hand that full of blood while he’s trying to hold my hand
“Fre-freemo.”
hinawakan ko kaagad kamay nya, there’s a big piece of glass in his arm, halo halo ang takot na nararamdaman ko
hindi ko rin maigalaw ang isa kong kamay, nalalasahan ko rin ang dugong dumadaloy sa noo ko
biglang bumuhos ang luha ko ng makitang walang malay si freen at nakalabas pa ang ulo sa kabilang bintana habang yakap yakap nya si freemo
freemo has alot of blood on his shirt
oh jesus..
pilit nyang inalis ang kamay ni freen sa pagkakayakap sakanya dahil hawak ko na ang kamay nya
I tried to help him, when he successfully get out of freens hug ay napasandig sya sakin
“daddy..” his voice broke and his tears fall in his eyes continuously
nahihilo nako pero pinipilit ko paring imulat ang mata ko
“Mommy’s okay?” iyak nya pa lalo
I tried to hug him, but I can’t move my body only my Right hand
he took my hand and hug my arm
“I’m o-okay freemo.” I whispered
“Freemo love mommy.” nagulat ako ng ngumiti pa sya
*Cough
he suddenly threw up and there’s a blood coming out in his mouth
“Oh no, freemo?”
“H-Hu-hurt mom-” his head suddenly fell in my chest while convulsing
“FREEMO! Freen wake up.”
Nooo not my baby..
halos hindi nako makahinga dahil rin sa kakaiyak
Freemo stop convulsing and the last tear drop in his eye
My world start spinning when there’s a flashlight hit my eyes
and everything went black

“MAMAA..”
I feel so scared while walking in the middle of the forest, what if the bad guy will find me here?
“PAPAA HMM.” I yelled.
I heard a suspicious noise at the bushes what if there’s a lions there?
“MAMA..” I cried so loud and feel so scared
I jumped when there’s someone cameout of nowhere
I run so fast
“hoy bata delikado dyan..”
I need to hide, I need to go to the upper grass so she can’t get me
“MAMA, PAPA..” I yelled again
I run really fast
“woy bata..halika nga dito..”
the kid who’s following me tripped on the big stone and fell
“wag kang pupunta dyan..” she’s begging while trying to get up
“Mama said don’t talk to strangers.” I said angrily
she was about to hold my hand but I run so fast again
when I step at the big tree, she run as fast as she can and hold my arm, I pulled my arm forcely but we both slipped and fell on the water
“Wahhhhhh.” she screamed so loud
*Bogshh
when the waters hit my face, I passed out.
–
I felt that there’s something hitting my chest forcedly
And the wave of the water goes up in my throat and in my nose, and I suddenly threw up
when I open my eyes I saw a chinita girl sit beside the kid who’s following me
“Haayy kinabahan ako dun ah..”
“Okay kalang ba?” tanong nito
I felt so weak and tried to get up and the kid help me
“Opo..” I said and wanted to cry
“ang cute naman yang batang yan, bakit walang ganyan dito?” the chinita girl asked
“Ano pangalan mo?” the kid ask me and caressed my right cheek using her knuckles
“Becca..”

“Freen I don’t want to leave you alone there, just come with me..” I beg on her
I changed my mind, I wanna stay with her, she’s alone in that lonely house, her sister died
she’s wiping my tears on my cheeks that kept falling in my eyes
“No matter what happens..Freen Loves you okay?”
I cried so loud
No, I want to be with her
“Love me? but you don’t want me to stay I hate you..”
I pushed her and run to go inside our Hacienda
while running I suddenly bumped myself into someone
when I looked up, it was kuya kevin
he was about to say something when there’s a blood come out in his mouth
“Napaka demonyo nyo, dapat lang sayo toh pati anak ko pagsasamantalahan mo.”
I heard the man said behind his back
my eyes widened when I findout what the man do to kuya
He…
he stab kuya..
kuya fell on the ground
and I saw Manong run away after
I go closer to kuya and pulled the knife on his back but when I saw alot of blood coming out
I froze
is kuya dead?
he stab kuya
kuya is dead
“BECCAA.” I hear freens voice
I want to talk but I don’t know why I feel so scared to talk
“jusmiyo..” she blurted out
freen grabbed me away to kuya
“becca okay kalang ba?” she asked and I suddenly felt my body is trembling because of fear
“ku-kuya..” I tried to talk but I can’t
“becca akin na yan, bakit mo hawak toh?”
freen took the knife in my hands, is she going to kill me?
“becca ano nangyari?” she asked.
I saw again the man who stab kuya Infront of me
what happened earlier kept popping in my vision
“OMY GODD.. KEVIN?” I heard Mama
freen hold my hand tight
I saw papa and mama walking towards us
“Papa?”
“KEVIINNN.” histerya na iyak ni mama “Anong ginawa nila sayo..anak ko..”
“Bitiwan mo ang anak ko kung ayaw mong barilin ka ng mga tao ko..” galit na sabi ni papa sa katabi ko
~
they kept arguing but I don’t know why I don’t understand anything
“becca alam kong nakita mo kung sinong may gawa nito sabihin mo sakanila.” freen said while looking at me badly
“Papa..” I felt scared and want to go to papa
“Bitiwan mo ang anak ko.” matigas na banggit ni papa
I run towards papa and cried so hard
“Freenn?” the girl called her
“sya ba ang sumaksak sa kuya mo?” tanong ni papa sakin
“Becca nakita mo kung sino ang may gawa nito ” freen shouted
papa kneeled Infront of me and held my face
“Sya ba ang sumaksak sa kuya mo?”
I looked at freen and the man who stab kuya is playing in my head again
“Papa..” iyak ko
“Becca nakikinig kaba sakin?” papa is shaking me
“Papa..” I wanted to hide
Manong is behind freen stabing kuya
“Sya po..” I pointed behind freens back
freen looked so hurt, Manong is hurting her too?
*Bang
I heard a gunshot again and my vision start spinning
my head is aching too bad
hanggang sa nawalan ako ng malay.

“Becca…”
“Becca gumising kana… wag naman ganito *sniff .”
“Mommy stop crying, the doctor said she’s already fine.”
I heard Irins voice and she’s shaking my body.. my body is feeling so week, nagising ata ako sa ingay ng babaeng toh at sasakit ng katawan dahil sa pag uyog nya sakin
I open my eyes and the first thing pop up in my mind is the image of freemo and freen na duguan
“Freemo?.” bigla akong napaupo kahit na masakit ang katawan ko ay gusto ko ng bumangon “where’s freemo?”
“My God becca, you finally awake.”
sinalubong ako ng yakap ni Irin at puro luha ang mga mata nya
“Irin wait.. where’s freen? si freemo? okay lang ba sila?”
Tumahimik sya at nag aalala ang mukha nya..
“IRIN SAGUTIN MO KO!.”
yumuko sya at pinupunasan ang luha
“Tita becca.” yakap sakin ni cheska
“Hindi pa sya nagigising.”
“Omy god..”
*sniff
“Gusto ko syang makita..” napaiyak ako sa sobrang pag aalala
parang anytime mababaliw ako
Tatayo na sana ako ng sumakit ang ulo ko
ugh
“Don’t worry becca, ililipat narin sya dito mamaya.”
“Anong sabi ng doctor?”
“Nagamot na yung mga sugat nya, kakaopera lang sa tyan nya dahil natalsikan ng malaking bubog pero okay na sya sabi ng doctor.”
Lumuwag ang pakiramdam ko dahil sa sinabi nya
“I thought I’m gonna lose you guys.. Hindi ko kakayanin pag kayo yung nawala.”
Irin is crying so hard and I can’t blame her for that, I know that she loves me and freemo so much
we’re like a twins, carrying each other’s pain simula’t sa pul palang, I can’t imagine if lose her too
“Where’s freen?”
“She’s in a coma.”
“co-coma?”
“Nagkaron sya ng head injury at inoperahan sya agad pag sugod palang sa hospital.”
sinubukan kong umalis sa bed but pinipigilan ako ni Irin
“Irin I wanted to see her…”
I already remember everything, bakit hindi nya sinabi sakin?
parang may humihiwa sa puso ko ng paulit ulit
Umaapoy ang puso ko sa sakit
ako ang dahilan kung bakit sya binihag ni papa, hinayaan nyang isipin ko na magulang ko lang ang may kasalanan
she’s always protecting me
Napaka daya nya
“IRIN ANO BA!”
“becca wala na sya..”
parang nabingi ako sa narinig
“Pinagloloko mo ba ako Irin? sabi mo na coma.”
kung wala lang si cheska baka nasabunutan ko na toh
“I mean wala na sya dito.”
“Panon-‘
“Inilipat sya ng Lolo nya sa Manila hospital.. becca hindi maganda ang lagay ni freen, becca may nasabi naba sya sayo?”
“Na ano?”
“May Leukemia si freen.”
