Everyone's agony
1037 Words
"Why the hell is this happening to us?" malungkot at mahinang bigkas ni Yuki habang buhat at yakap yakap si Zebby na inosenteng nakatingin sa kanila.
Everyone's calm and quiet yet really afraid in a lot of ways in their current state. Deiji is still unconscious in Daisy's room. Bianca is sleeping in one of the Guest rooms after she faints and Michael is confined in another guest room.
"Is Michael going to turn too?" Nanginginig at lutang pang tanong ni Michelle sa kanila.
Glenn won't let Michelle stay on her twin side because it's dangerous. Even though he's sorry to Michelle, he can't let anything bad happen to Michelle. And Glenn knows that this is also what Michael wants if he's conscious. They also tied Michael for extra protection.
Walang sumagot sa kanya na naging dahilan ng paghagulhol niya. Daisy and Myrna hug her to comfort her. Everyone is sad about what happened to them.
"I'm sorry, Michelle." Nag-iwas ng tingin si Glenn kay Michelle.
"No. It's not your fault. It's mine. He's so close to me and yet..." Michelle can't finish her sentence so everyone comforts her.
"I don't understand why Carlo had to do that in Deiji." Biglaang sabat ni Christ.
"As far as I remember, if I'm not mistaken. He's so kind and has a lot of patience." Dagdag pa nito.
"He has bipolar disorder." Gulat ang lahat kay Bianca na nagsalita mula sa taas pababa ng hagdan.
"Me and Deiji only know about it." Dagdag pa ng dalaga.
Tumahimik ang lahat ng dahil sa narinig. Hindi sila makapaniwala na may kasama sila na may sakit sa pag-iisip at hindi man lang nila ito napansin.
"In all times, bakit that time pa siya inatake ng kabaliwan niya. No offense, Bianca." Maalat na bato ni Yuki kay Bianca. She's not quite happy about what happened to Deiji. Her room mate. Her little sister for her.
"It's been 3 days since he took his medicine. It's not surprising that anytime his disorder may appear." Paliwanag ni Bianca sa kanila.
"Oo nga, nandoon na tayo. Pero bakit sa dami ng oras o araw na pwedeng atakihin siya. Sumakto pa that time?" Panggigisa ni Yuki. Para siyang isa sa mga panelist ng defense for thesis kung umasta at magtanong kay Bianca.
Bianca hugs herself and looks away. She thinks twice before answering Yuki's question.
"Carlo likes Deiji."
Everyones shocked by what Bianca spilled to them.
"And I hated Deiji because of that. I love Carlo yet Deiji caught his attention." May tumulong luha sa mga mata ni Bianca habang naalala kung paano naging friendship over sila ni Deiji.
"But you two always make ... love." Pagdadalawang isip ni Myrna.
"Well, we ended up together when I made him drunk and you know what happened. So, until now we're staying together. He's kind of a gentleman, you know." Medyo umaliwalas ang mukha ni Bianca ng maalala ang mga pinagsamahan nilang dalawa ni Carlo.
Lahat ay napaigtad ng makarinig ng malakas na ingay mula sa labas. Lahat sila ay nagmamadaling sumilip upang tingnan ang nangyayari.
A bunch of zombies are forcing themselves to enter.
"s**t!" Glenn murmurs when he sees a strong push from one of the zombies.
"Masisira ang gate kapag nagpatuloy ito!" Pagpapaalala sa kanila ni Daisy, ang may-ari ng bahay na tinutuluyan nila ngayon.
"Saan sila nanggaling?" Yuki furiously ask og nowhere.
"There's no time to wonder. Grab anything that you can use for barrieng." Glenn ordered and took action first.
Everyone followed him and grabbed anything they could to help Glenn make the barricade.
"Hindi 'to tatagal. We need to move out soon." Roy suggested.
Glenn knows Roy has a point. Kahit pagod na sila sa lahat ng nangyayari ay kailangan nilang gawin ang lahat to be safe.
"Noah?" Deiji poorly moved herself but Noah stopped her.
"You okay? Anything hurt?" Natatarantang tanong ni Noah sa dalaga.
Nakasuot na ito ng maluwag na damit at maikling maong na shorts na halos makita na ang singit niya.
"I'm not the one who changes your clothes!" Asik ni Noah ng makitang sinamaan siya ng tingin ni Deiji after realizing na iba na ang damit niya.
"It was Yuki." Dagdag niya pa na naging pampakalma ni Deiji.
"Kaninong damit 'to? Napakaiksi naman. Parang walang pambili ng tela ah!" Reklamo ni Deiji ng tanggalin niya ang kumot na nakapatong sa katawan niya at makita ang lantad na balay niya.
Natuwa naman si Noah dahil sa pagiginh energetix ng dalaga.
"Kay Daisy. Kanino pa ba." Bawi ni Noah kaya naman ay nabatukan siya ni Deiji.
"So, you save me." Deiji slightly smiled but a tear escaped from her eyes.
"D-did... he?"
"No!" Mabilis na sagot ng dalaga kay Noah.
"But... you we're-"
Deiji cuts him off as she hugs Noah.
"Thank you." Noah hugged her back and comforted her.
Ramdam niya pa din ang takot ng dalaga dahil sa panginginig ay palagay na ang loob niya na walang masamang nangyari kay Deiji tulad ng iniisip nila. She trusts Deiji. If Deiji said no. It means, no.
He wanted to ask what exactly happened but he could not. It's not the right time is what Noah's thinking.
"Damn you!" Agad napahiwalay si Deiji at Noah mula sa pagkakayakapan ng makarinig ng maingay sa labas ng kwartong pinanggagalingan nila.
Deiji knows it's Michelle. She wonders why might happen for Michelle to shout and curse that loud.
Medyo masakit pa ang katawan ay pinilit niyang tumayo upang tingnan ang gulong nangyayari mula sa labas ng kwarto. Agad namang sumunod si Noah sa kanya upang bantayan if ever na matumba siya bigla.
"He's not just my brother, he's my twin! He's one of us! How could you all suggest leaving him behind!" Deiji opens the door and sees Michelle has mixed emotions.
Fear, sadness, anger and disappointment.
"What the hell is happening here?" Deiji calmly ask all of them who gather in front of Michelle.
"Ate Deiji!" Michelle switch to an innocent person and run towards her to give her a hug.
"Ate Deiji, they said were moving out but they want to leave Michael." Pagsusumbong nito na parang bata. Deiji is always the one who stands for the twins whenever they get bullied.
