AZEINA'S POV :
Nakarating ako sa exit at bigla namang nawala yung lalaki. Pagkalabas ko dun ko agad nakita si Eun at Gab sa labas na may kinakausap na staffs sa booth na'to.
"Eun!" tawag ko sa kanya.
"Unnie! Why did you ran away from us?" he asked.
"I did not! I was just startled so I ran , I thought you were with me but then I felt like someone is untied from me" I said.
"The tie was cut , I'm sorry for our mistake" saad nung president ata nila.
"It's okay" saad ko at hinila na si Eun paalis dun.
Di ko pinansin si Gab dahil kasalanan naman niya kung bakit ako nakapasok dun.
"Hey , you aren't saying thank you?" habol niya samin.
"What for?" I sarcastically asked him.
"For making you go there" he said and smirked. I covered Eun ears and smiled at him.
"I don't wanna say thank you , I wanna say f*ck you for making me go inside of that booth" saad ko at naglakad ulit.
"I thought you wanna go there so I helped you" habol niya ulit.
"You helped for nothing. Next time , mind your own business" nagpatuloy lang ulit ako at tinignan yung phone ko , from unknown number.
~Unnown number~

"9 am" prof answered.
Umalis na ako at tinext si Mindy para malaman ko kung nasaan na sila.
~Mindy calling~
"Hello , Mindy as---"
[Azeina! Si Eun!]
"Ha? Anong nangyari?!"
[Aalis sana kami para pumunta ng mall pero may humarang samin dito sa parking lot]
"Saang parking lot?"
[East]
Agad kong pinatay ang tawag at dali daling tumakbo papuntang east parking lot. Nakita ko si Zhi na nakahiga sa hita ni Mindy at si Mindy naman ay todo iyak.
"Anong nangyari?!" tarantang tanong ko nung makita kong may saksak si Zhi sa tagiliran niya.
"Sinubukan ni Zhi na kunin si Eun sa kanila pero binaril siya nung isang lalaki." saad niya habang umiiyak pa.
"Dalhin mo si Zhi sa ospital mag patulong ka kay Al , susubukan kong habulin yung mga taong iyon. Nakita mo ba yung mukha nila? Plate number? Kulay ng sasakyan?" tanong ko dahil kinakabahan ako para kay Eun.
"Naka maskara sila. EFU-480 yung plate number , at white van yung dala nila" tumango lang ako sa kanya habang sinasabi niya ito.
"Get help now and tell them not to spread this." saad ko at pinunit yung damit ko para matakpan yung sugat ni Zhi. Hinawakan ko muna ito at ipinahawak agad kay Mindy dahil baka masyado ng makalayo yung mga taong yun.
Tumingin ako sa paligid at may nakitang isang estudyante na pasakay na sa big bike niya. Agad akong tumakbo papunta sa kanya para pigilan siyang sumakay.
"Hihiramin ko muna 'to , sabihin mo lang sa babaeng yung yung pangalan at number mo" saad ko at tinuro si Mindy.
Tumango lang siya kaya dali dali akong sumakay sa motor at pinaandar ito. Sakto namang traffic kaya makikita ko pa sila. nakita ko sa kaliwa yung van na sinasabi ni Mindy kaya sinundan ko ito. Sakto namang nakahabol ako sa kanila nung mag green na yung sign a traffic light. Lumiko liko sila sa mga daan na wala na masyadong pumupunta. Naka kuha ako ng tyansa na unahan sila at mag drift sa harap nila.
*schreeeech*
Napahinto sila kaya bumaba ako ng motor at kinuha yung pistol na nakalagay sa bewang ko.
"Ibigay niyo sakin si Eun!" saad ko nung makababa nila.
Nakita ko kung pano nila itulak pababa si Eun. Tumingin si Eun sakin na umiiyak kaya mas nainis ako sa mga lalaking ito.
"Miss Azeina , ba't ganyan yung disguise mo ampangit!" saad nung isang lalaki.
"Sino kayo ha?" kalmadong tanong ko sa kanila.
"Ganun ka ba kalakas para sagutin ka agad namin?" tanong naman nung isa at sabay silang nagtawanan.
"Sinong nag utos sa inyo?" tanong ko ulit.
"May magagawa ka ba kung ayaw naming sabihin?" napangisi ako.
"Eun , close your eyes and cover your ears for me" saad ko at agad naman siyang nakinig , "I can do a thing.....Like this" saad ko at pinaputukan ng baril sa balikat yung isa nilang kasama.
"Gago ka ah!" saad nung leader nila.
"Give him to me if you don't want to see me killing you one by one" saad ko kaya napaatras sila pero nananatili silang magtapang tapangan.
"Ha! Kala mo takot kami sayo?" saad nung leader ulit.
"Di ba kayo natatakot? Pano kung gawin ko ulit yun?" nagpakita ako ng mala demonyong ngiti at binaril naman sa binti yung isa nilang kasama. 2 down 5 left.
"Di mo kayang pumatay no? Haha ang duwag naman nun" tumawa silang lahat at tinutukan ako ng baril..."Kung di mo kaya , pwes kaya nami---" napatigil siya sa pagsasalita nung makita niyang wala na ako sa harap niya.
"I can kill but only if I could" I whispered while my gun is pointed at the back of his head..."Surrender yourselves and I'll make you one of the Dark Crippen Org...If you surrender yourselves and tell me who's behind this all , maybe I can turn you into a soldier of our Org."
"T-Totoo ba?" tanong nung isa sa mga kassamahan niya.
"Ms. Azeina susuko na ako. Pangarap ko pong magtrabaho sa DCO , ginagawa ko lang ito para buhayin yung mga kapatid ko at yung tatay kong may sakit" saad nung isa at lumuhod sa harap ko.
"Ako rin po miss Azeina"
"Ako rin po , sasabihin ko agad sa inyo kung sino yung nag utos samin." sumuko silang anim pero yung leader nila ay wala pa ring balak sumuko.
"Ha! Akala mo mauuto mo ako sa paggamit ng DCO? HAHAHA. Pwes sinasabi ko sayo , wala kang kakayahang ipasok kami dun."
"Really? What if I tell you a secret I've been hiding from everyone?" saad ko at nilaro yung baril ko sa kamay ko.
"Secret? Are you wasting my time?!" tanong niya.
"What if I tell you that you are facing Lady Demon right now?" kalmadong saad ko at halatang natigilan silang lahat.
"Pinapatawa mo ba ako? Si Lady haharap dito? Alam mo namang hindi siya humaharap sa katulad namin dahil duwag siya!" my face turned serious and in just a blink I was pointing my gun again to him.
"You dare to speak in front of me like that" saad ko at binaril yung kaliwang binti niya..."Dare to speak in that way again and you'll lose your leg" I said and turned away to get Eun--
"Ms. Azeina!!"
Just as expected. Sinalubong ng bala ko yung bala nung baril niya kaya hindi ito tumama sakin.
"Still don't believe that I'm the Lady you're calling? Then fine , I won't force you to believe me." saad ko at binaril yung balikat niya nung subukan niya ulit na bumaril..."Don't waste your energy or else you'll die...You six bring him to the hospital...Ooops wait. May I ask you a question?"
"What is it , Lady?" tanong nung isa.
"Who did shot my friend earlier?" I asked them.
"S-Si boss po" he said and pointed their leader.
"Okay , bring him to the hospital now then call the police. You six , surrender yourselves to the DCO and let them give you the punishment because of what you've done and kastly, tell them that I commanded you to be a trainees for you to be a soldier of our Org. If they wont believe you give them this"
I gave them a special card with my code name and fingerprint.
"Then tell them to return this to me" saad ko at kinuha na si Eun. Lumuhod ako sa harap niya at inalis yung kamay niya sa pagkakatakip sa tenga niya.
"Did unnie made you wait for so long?" I asked him.
"Huhuhuh unnie!! I'm so scared!" he said while crying.
"Shh , don't be scared. Unnie is here okay?" Binuhat ko na siya at sinakay sa motor.
Bago ako sumakay ay tinignan ko muna silang anim at nakita kong nag bow muna sila sakin bago sila umalis. i know they're just teenagers but being forced to work a dirty job.
*sigh*
Maingat akong bumalik sa school at sinauli yung motor sa may ari. Pagkatapos nun ay pumunta na kami ni Eun sa ospital kung saan naadmit si Zhi.
"Unnie , will hyung be okay?" he asked.
"Yeah , he will. He's a strong man." saad ko at pumunta sa labas ng operation room. Nakita ko dun sina Mindy , Al , Alynia at Alyona.
"How is he?" I asked.
"The operation is still going" saad ni Alynia.
Sumilip ako sa glass window na kung saan makikita namin yung mga likod ng doktor na nakapalibot kay Zhi.
I went out and called manager and told him to handle this matter for me. Bumalik na ako dun at nakita ko silang lahat na nakatayo at umiiyak.
"What happened?" I asked them.
"T-the line it went flat" wala sa sariling saad ni Alynia. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko at tumingin sa mga doktor. They are having trouble to bring back Zhi.
"No , no. T-This can't b-be. ZHI LUMABAN KA!!" sigaw ko habang tumutulo na yung mga luha ko.."ZHI!! You said you won't leave me right?! Zhi! WAG mo akong binibiro!!" there's no response. No please , stay with me!..."BIG BRO!!" nakita kong natigil na yung pagka taranta ng mga doktor at umupo yung isa sa doktor na parang wala ng pag-asa.
Hindi ko na sinunod ang hospital rules at sumuot ng gloves at sumuot din ng mask. Derederetso ako sa pagpasok sa operating room at pumunta sa harap ni Zhi. Pinigilan ako ng mga doktor pero pinagtutulak ko sila palayo.
"BACK OFF!!" saad ko pero hindi sila nakinig.
"Ma'am what are you doing? He's dead" saad nung isang doktor.
"He's not , so back off" saad ko at tinaas yung nakakuyom kong kamao at malakas na pinalo yung dibdib ni Zhi. Guminhawa yung loob ko nung umubo siya at bumalik rin yung pulso niya."See? I told you , he's not dead. You're not the doctors we need in this hospital. I'm going to tell your director to fire all of you!" saad ko.
"Give me a needle" saad ko pero walang gumalaw na nurse or doctor man lang.."You wont assist me then fine I'll do it myself, " I said and started to stitch his wound.
Malinis ko itong tinapos at humarap sa mga doktor na parang hindi makapaniwala sa nagawa ko.
"What are you still standing there? Lead the way to the directors office!" inis na saad ko at humarap naman sa mga nurse at sa anesthesiologist.."Don't just stare at me and clean the rest!" saad ko.
Tinignan ko ng masama ang mga doktor at hinablot yung main doctor na nagoopera kay Zhi.
"Are you a doctor or a quack? You're not worth to be called a doctor. The patient can still live but you already gave up" saad ko at binitawan siya. Natumba naman siya at tinulungan naman siya agad ng mga kasama niyang doktor.
"Ma'am you don't have a doctor's license and one more thing you're not a doctor" saad nung babaeng doctor.
"I may be not a doctor but at least I can save lives without that f*cking license. Not like all of you , even a single one of you did not try to help the main doctor. I'm so disappointed , I thought this is the best hospital. But I thought wrong , this is the worst hospital"
"Avrail!" salubong nila sakin.
Hinubad ko na yung gloves at mask ko.
"Avrail!" salubong naman ng kadadating lang na sina Trev at Luhan.
"What you did is illegal!" galit na saad ni Trev.."Why are you putting yourself in such a situation?! You could be put in jail you know that!"
"I would save Zhi from that situation than freeing myself. I can't stand to lose another one" saad ko at nilagpasan sila. Nahinto ako nung hinawakan ni Trev yung pulsuhan ko.
"What? Are you going to scold me? Make it short , there's something important I need to do" saad ko at inalis yung pagkakahawak niya sa pulsuhan ko.
"Are you going to tell the director to fire them all?" he asked.
"What if I said yes?" I asked sarcastically and looked at the doctors behind him.
"No please don't" pag mamakaawa nung isa.
"Why? You think I can forgive you from that?" I asked sarcastically.."You're not worth to be called doctors" saad ko at tatalikod na sana ulit nung pigilan naman ako ni Trev.
"Avrail , please don't. They're the professional doctors of this hospital." saad ni Trev.
"Professional huh? Ha! You think that is the skills of a professionals? Well , let me tell you....You're not professionals you're a quack" saad ko at lumapit kay Eun.
"Eun , I'll leave you to sister Mindy again , okay? I'll be back." saad ko at umalis na sa harap nila.
Pumunta muna ako sa c.r para hugasan yung mga dugo na pumunta sa braso ko. If you're wondering why I know the things that the doctor knows...Well , Del Luca's are trained to do all the courses that we need in life.
Pagkalabas ko ay agad kong nakita si principal Vou're kasama yung mga doktor na nasa operation room kanina.
"Director?" tanong ko nung makarating sila a harap ng c.r.
"Yes , what do you need ma'am---Ms. Kim?" takang tanong ni principal.
"Are you available for a talk right now?" tanong ko sa kanya at tumingin sa mga doktor.
"Oh , yes. Let's go to my office" saad niya.
Nung makarating kami sa office niya ay pinaupo niya ako at yung limang doktor.
"What is it miss Avrail?" tanong niya.
"My friend was inside the operation room earlier , and he is with these professional doctors. But....He nearly died because of the failed operation. And luckily he was saved and brought back to life again. So , can you tell me if they are the true professionals ?" I asked him and looked at the doctors. They all looked pale. I am emphasizing the word professional.
"I'm sorry for our mistake. Please forgive---"
"I only can forgive them if they tried to operate carefully to a patient. My friend wont be at stake because I already know that the bullet didn't affect any organs inside him , but why would he be in the edge of death during the operation. There are only two reasons why.....First , the doctor wasn't careful during the operation. Second , the anesthesiologist is not focused on her work and didn't able to balance the operation. Or third , they don't have the courage to save the patient. My friend died in a minute but they didn't tried to do the bestest best of them to bring him back to life. So.....Is this the professional doctors you're proud of?" I said and looked at them.
"Miss Avrail , watch your words." matigas na saad ni principal.
"Ha! Whatever , the next time I will hear about this , I can't promise that I won't sue you about this matter." saad ko at umalis na. Pumunta na ako sa room na tinext sakin ni Mindy.
Nakita ko si Zhi na natutulog pa rin. Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinawakan yung kamay niya. Namumutla pa rin siya dahil siguro maraming dugo yung nawala sa kanya.
"Big bro , ba't naman ganun? Pinakaba mo ako..." napahagulgol ako dahil mula kanina ko pa pinipigilan yung mga luha ko.
Lumapit sakin si Mindy at umiiyak na hinihimas yung likod ko.
"Big bro , pano kung di ako pumasok dun? Iiwan mo ba talaga ako? Alam mo namang ayaw ko nun diba? Ba't ba kasi lumaban ka sa kanila kung alam mo namang hindi mo sila kaya?" napaluhod ako sa sahig habang humahagulgol.

The day passed away so fast but i'm still here at the hospital waiting Zhi to wake up. Aalis na sana ako para kumuha ng gamit sa bahay pero may humawak ng kamay ko. Imposible na si Eun yung dahil ipinakuha ko na siya kina Xhion kaya dahan dahan akong lumingon at nakita ko si Zhi na dahan dahang binubukas ang mga mata niya.
"Big bro?" tanong ko at agad na lumapit sa kanya.
"Lil sis , no need" nanghihinang saad niya. Dahan dahan siyang bumangon kaya inalayayan ko siya.
Dumdaing siya sa tuwing gumagalaw siya kaya binagalan ko yung pagbangon sa kanya.
"You scared the hella out of me! I thought you would die inside the O.R" saad ko at bumusangot.
"I saw you for a second when you brought me back to life...I'm thankful to have a brave lil sis like you" saad niya at pinisil yung pisngi ko..."What time is it?" he asked.
"2 am" I answered.
"Why are you still here? You should go home and rest" saad niya at kinuha yung apple na nasa basket.
"And then no one will watch you?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"It's okay , I can handl---"
"Handle yourself? Look at you" I sarcastically said and get the apple away from him.
"Hey give me that!"
"I'll peel it for you"
"Thanks"
"No probs big bro" I finished to peel the apple and sliced it to small pieces.
"Can't you sleep yet? I heard you have a game tomorrow , you should be taking a rest now" saad niya at tinapik yung tabi niya. He's asking me to sleep next to him. Mabuti nalang at malaki yung hospital bed niya , nasa VIP room kasi siya naka admit.
Umuwi na ako nung mag alas singko na ng umaga dahil dumating si Mindy at sinabing siya na daw yung bahala kay Zhi. Nung makapasok ako ng kwarto ko ay dun na ako nagulat dahil sa kanila. Si Ronn at Xhion nasa kama at pinagigitnaan si Eun. Yung tatlo naman nasa sahig at nagyayakapan.
Nagdahan dahan ako sa mga kilos ko at agad na bumaba nung makatapos akong maligo.
Gumawa ako ng sarili kong milktea. Alas sais na at gising na rin sila , hindi ako nagluto at umorder nalang ng pagkain namin. Pumunta ako sa sala at dun ininom yung milktea ko. Kinuha ko yung librong nakita ko sa lalagyan nito.
