I know he was angry. But I don’t care. What I cared about was Rommel. His face was full of cuts and bruises. He barely stands. I am sure they tortured him. Oh God, what have I done? It’s all my fault. Hindi ko mapapatawad ang aking sarili. Kung may mangyaring masama kay Rommel kasalanan ko. It was overwhelming to feel guilty and regretful. It's all my fault. I ignored my dad’s statement. Whatever punishme
