Chapter 36

I don't know what I should do. Should I watch their reactions? Kailangan ko bang panoorin kung paanong malaglag ang panga nila matapos kong ihayag kung bakit wala na ang best friend ko?

Alam ko na, alam ko na ni isa sa kanila ay wala talagang halos kaalam-alam. The night that Cleofa took her own life. I called for some help. Humingin ako ng tulong pero iisang tao lang yung nandoon.

Si ate Jess lang.

S'ya lang yung tumulong saakin na alisin si Cleofa doon upang madala namin sa hospital kahit wala na talagang pag-asa. I was the one who drove the car. Kahit wala na halos akong makita pinilit naming dalhin s'ya sa ospital.

Walang dumating na tulong.

Walang police. Walang kapitbahay na dumulog. Wala lahat. Wala kun'di kaming dalawa ni ate Jess.

I didn't bring her to her home or have a decent funeral. I chose to mourn her in the hospital, doon sa punerarya nila doon ko s'ya pinagluksang mag-isa.

And after that night, We've already laid her to rest. No one knows what really happened,
