NATHAN'S POV
Even if my legs are trembling while trying to walk through these unending like stairs, I just keep on trying.
Though I can feel the blood dripping from my head.
I needed to....
I wanted to save her because I don't want to lose her.
"You're right! but we will all die here kaya don't expect na may happy ending kayong lahat!" someone said.
And when I saw his face...
Unti-unti nang lumilinaw ang lahat.
He was the man who bumped me with his car years ago. He was Brent.
Agad kong itinutok ang baril sa kanya at pinihit ito. I don't want to waste my time for that crazy guy.
"Ako na ang bahala dito....you t_two, just leave. May 4 minutes na lang kayo para makatakas" I said after shooting him.
Tiningnan lang nila ako when I said it.
"come on, I'm serious...just go." I said.
Kasi, If there's a person who needed to sacrifice right now?, its me. And besides, hindi ko na kakayanin pang tumakbo ulit pababa within that short span of time.
"no....." Miss President said.
(I sighed)
Not this time. We're running out of time.
"Aikka, just go. Its between me and my sister, so ako na ang bahala dito." Spade insisted.
"I want that both of you will live happily, kaya huwag na kayong magmatigas! Ako na ang bahala dito!" me being irritated.
Bwiset naman kasi eh. Ako na nga ang nag-ooffer di ba? Why they don't just leave me here?!
"mga nasisiraan na kayo....." then Spade's sister sat down while still holding her gun. She leaned slightly on the wall.
"its all your fault Jenna, if its not because of you_"
"don't put the blame on me Spade! Kasalanan mo rin ito kasi mas pinili mo ang babaeng iyan kesa sa akin" she said.
At talagang nagkaroon pa sila ng time para magsisihan huh.
"guys! 2 minutes na lang at sasabog na ang building, why not bother escaping while there's still a chance?" I said but patuloy pa rin sila on pointing out who's to blame.
"I'm sorry guys." Aikka suddenly said. And this time? She's crying.
(slightly having a headache)
May naaalala na naman ako.
"I'm sorry for making you guys....miserable. I'm sorry because I let you feel those pain kaya huwag na kayong magsisihan pa. And sa natitirang oras pa natin dito? Gusto ko lang sanang sabihin na....sana....mapatawad niyo ako"
Matapos niyang sabihin iyon...
(a moment of silence)
"well! I'm sorry too for doing this, haha!" napalingon ako at nagulat, Brent is still alive and he's pointing his gun to me.
And that time, hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko kasi nataranta ako sa pagkakabigla.
Hanggang sa.....
Nakita kong tumakbo si Aikka in front of me.
And...
She's facing me right now.
"Aikka" I said nang makita ko ang lungkot sa kanyang mga mata.
Then suddenly...
We heard gun shots.
And this time, I saw some tears falling from her eyes.
"no....."
Panaginip lang ito.
Isa lang itong masamang panaginip.
"Aikka!!!!" Spade said.
Humandusay na si Aikka sa sahig. She was shot on her back.
Natigilan ako.
Bakit?
S_sinalo niya ang bala na para sana sa akin.
Nagdilim ang aking paningin kaya agad kong sinugod si Brent. Inagaw ko ang baril mula sa kanya at pinagsusuntok siya.
I can't forgive him for what he did to Aikka!
Sinuntok ko siya ng sinuntok hanggang sa mapagod ako at mapuno ng dugo ang aking kamay.
"You bastard!!!!" sigaw ko sa sobrang galit ko sa kanya.
"Nathan! stop it" someone grabbed my hand just to stop me.
"Nathan...please...listen to me. Ako ito si Jotham."
I don't know how he got here but...
No.....I can't...I can't just stop!!!
"Nathan.... you're killing him. Police na ang bahala sa kanya" Abby said.
Then I stood up.
Bigla na lang tumulo ang aking mga luha habang pinagmamasdan ko si Aikka na binubuhat na para dalhin sa hospital.
Hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko.
This time...para na akong nabibingi at ang tanging nasa isip ko lang ngayon ay tapusin ang lalaking bumaril kay Aikka.
"Nathan! its all over. Kailangan na nating madala agad si Aikka sa malapit na hospital. Andito na ang mga police at ang bodyguards ng mga Montero, sila na ang bahala dito."
I tried to calm down.
H_he's right.
We need to bring her to the hospital.
Agad kong sinundan ang paramedics sa ibaba.
I can't help myself from being emotional kasi hindi ko mapapatawad ang aking sarili if something worst will happen to her.
"sir, I think kailangan niyo rin po ng medical care ngayon. You're head is bleeding." sabi nang isa sa medic na rumesponde.
"I'm fine..just make sure that she will be okay" I said nang isasakay na si Aikka sa ambulance.
"we'll do our best sir"
Then I saw her parents crying habang pinapanood ang anak nilang nabaril.
Agad akong lumapit to console them, specially tita.
"She will be fine...I know it. She will be fine" I said while trying to be brave.
But deep inside, its killing me.
Kasi.... mas natatakot akong mawala ng tuluyan si Aikka sa buhay ko.
