"Ang ganda niyan, Ate!"
Jill complimented the bouquet Y/N gave me kanina.
"Grabe ka na, sakit mo! Maganda rin naman bigay ko sa'yo, ah!?" Keith said habang hawak hawak pa ang dibdib na parang nasaktan sa sinabi ni Jill. "Sabay lang 'yan ginawa, uy!"
"Ang pangit kasi ng way mo kung paano inabot sa'kin!" ganti naman nung isa.
"Okay naman!?"
"Okay mo mukha mo," Jill said at hinampas si Keith. "Sabagay, sige sweet na. Sa sobrang sweet, muntikan na ako umiyak kasi ramdam na ramdam ko.."
"Ako lang 'to,"
"Ramdam na ramdam ko 'yong sama ng loob, che!"
Natawa kaming tatlo nila Mama at Ate Aiks, ang kulit nilang dalawa.
Kapag pinagsasama sila, parang may war.
"Magkapatid nga kayo ng Ate mo," Keith suddenly said at napafacepalm pa.
I faked a cough. "Ate rin ako, pakilinaw,"
"'Yong panganay,"
"Ako?" gulat na tanong ni Ate Aiks after niyang sumubo. "Anong ako?"
"Che lang din sinagot mo sakin, ah! Pareho kayo ni Jill!" sagot ni Keith at nag cross arms na parang nagtatampo pa.
Ate Aiks laughed. "Tampo ka ba?"
"What if oo, Aika?"
"Wow, ang lakas ng loob," biro ko.
"Mama oh," pabirong pagsusumbong ni Jill.
"Tampo well," Mama said at lahat kami ay napatingin sa kaniya. "At anak, Aika suyo well,"
Natahimik kami saglit at sabay kaming natawa ni Jill.
"Labas kami sa lq niyo," Jill said at nagpatuloy sa pagkain.
Iinom sana ako nang mabitawan ko 'yong baso dahilan para mabasag ito.
I was about to help the staff na mag linis nang marinig kong nangriring 'yong phone ko.
I looked at the caller's name.
It's Y/N.
"Excuse me, i'll take this call lang, si Y/N po," paalam ko at tumayo bago lumayo nang kaonti sa lamesa namin.
"Tricia," I heard Y/N called me.
"Hello! Nasaan na kayo ni Doc Cy? We're halfway done eating and wala pa rin kayo,"
"Can.. can you come here?"
Napakunot ang noo ko nang marinig 'yon.
"Are you okay?" tanong ko.
Parang hindi 'yon ang normal na tono ng pananalita niya, mukha siyang.. kinakabahan.
"C-Com-"
I heard Y/N gulped bago huminga nang malalim at nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita.
"Come here," Y/N finally said. "Sa rooftop, nandito kami. Come here now, Tricia,"
"You're not answering my question," I said. "But alright, I'll go now. Isama ko si Keit-"
"No.. please no," pagputol niya sa akin. "Come here alone,"
Bago pa ako makapagsalita ay ibinaba na niya 'yong tawag.
Weird.
Ni minsan ay hindi ako binabaan ng tawag ni Y/N.
"Keith," tawag ko sa atensyon niya.
I signaled her na lumapit sa akin. "Bakit po?"
I took a deep breath before looking at her.
"Come with me,"
Kumunot ang noo niya. "Saan po?"
"Sa rooftop," sagot ko. "Y/N called me, pinapapunta niya ako ron, sabi niya I should come alone,"
"E, bakit kasama po ako?"
"Something's weird," I said at itinaas ang tingin ko sa hotel sa harap namin. "I feel like something is going on,"

I saw how Keith gulped, we both tried to relax bago nagpaalam kina Mama.
Nang paalis na kami, Ate Aiks suddenly called Keith.
"Keith,"
Keith looked at her and tried her best to smile. "Hmm?"
"Nothing, bilisin niyo para makakain pa rin tayo sabay," she said at ngumiti sa amin ni Keith.
We both nodded at kalmadong nag lakad papalayo sa kanila. Nang makapasok sa hotel ay patakbo na kaming pumasok ni Keith sa elevator.
"Doc.." Keith called me. Napatingin ako sa kaniya. "Tingin niyo po ba.. nandoon si Kuya?"
I was about to answer when the door of the elevator opened.
We slowly walked towards the rooftop's door at nang akmang bubuksan 'yon ni Keith ay pinigilan ko siya.
"Doc.."
"Stay here, Keith," utos ko. "Mag isa lang niya ako pinapapunta at kung nandito man ang Kuya mo.. mas lalo siyang magagalit,"
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko. "Kaya niyo po ba mag isa?"
"I need to do this, Keith," I said. "It'll be fine,"
Nabalot kami nang katahimikan when suddenly Keith hugged me.
"Mag ingat po kayo," she said. "Dito lang po ako,"
I smiled and nodded at her. I closed my eyes before taking a deep breath and finally opening the door.
Nang tuluyang makapasok ay isinara ko 'yong pinto.
Inilibot ko ang paningin ko and when I looked at the left side of the rooftop, I saw Y/N standing there.
"Y/N.."
I quickly run towards him/her at niyakap siya.
Napapikit ako nang maglapat ang katawan namin.
Y/N's safe.
Hindi niya ako niyakap pabalik at nang imulat ko ang mata ko..
I saw Miguel standing sa likod ni Y/N, with a gun pointed at Y/N's head.
"Hon," he called me.
"Miguel.."
"Bakit siya ang sinalubong mo ng yakap, hindi ako?" he asked and smirked. "Layo d'yan,"
I looked at Y/N and he/she's slowly nodding his/her head.
"Sabing layo!" sigaw ni Miguel at idinikit 'yong baril sa ulo ni Y/N which made me flitch.
I slowly let go of Y/N.
"Step back," utos niya, agad naman akong sumunod.
Nang madako ang tingin ko sa likod ni Miguel, I saw Doc Cy na nakaupo ron sa upuan.. nanghihina.
"Doc Cy.." I whispered and was about to go to her when Miguel suddenly grabbed Y/N's neck at sakal sakal ito gamit ang braso niya.
"Huwag kang aalis d'yan!" sigaw niya bago itinutok kay Doc Cy 'yong baril at agad ding ibinalik kay Y/N.
"No!" pagpigil ko. "Miguel.. please, no."
"D'yan ka lang," he said at hinila si Y/N palapit sa pwesto kung nasaan si Doc Cy.
"Stop this, Miguel.." pagmamakaawa ko. "Let go of them,"
"How about.. no?" he said at mas lalong hinigpitan ang pagkakasal kay Y/N.
I saw how Y/N's struggling a lot. Napapapikit na siya sa sakit.
Deja vu.
I suddenly remembered my dream that night.
"Akala mo ba ay makakatakas sa'kin?" he said. "Kaya pala iniwan mo ako sa ospital, dito ka pala sa gagong 'to sasama,"
"Please, Miguel.. pakawalan mo sila," I begged. "Ako, ako na lang sasama sa'yo. Hindi ba't ayun naman ang gusto mo?"
"Trish, n-no.." Y/N tried talking dahilan para mas higpitan ni Miguel ang pagkakasakal sa kaniya.
Umiling iling si Miguel. "Hindi na mahalaga kung sa'kin ka sasama," he said. "Dahil kahit ako ang kasama mo, siya pa rin naman ang gusto mo.. and that's fucking nonsense!"
"W-Why.." Y/N tried removing Miguel's arm. "Why are you.. d-doing this?"

"Kahit anong gawin ko, hindi naman na ako mamahalin ulit ni Tricia,"
"Ulit?" Y/N asked, confused.
"Kaya kung hindi siya sa'kin mapupunta, hindi rin dapat kayo sasaya!"
"Miguel!" I shouted. "Please, stop this.. sa tingin mo ba.." I slowly took a step closer to them. "Tingin mo ba matutuwa si Ate Mikhaila sa ginagawa mo?"
"Don't.. don't mention her here," he said at umiwas nang tingin.
"Tingin mo ba matutuwa siya na makita kayong ganiyan?"
"Don't fucking use her against me!" he shouted at sinipa 'yong upuan dahilan para matumba 'yon at si Doc Cy.
"C-Cha!" sigaw ni Y/N at pilit na nililingon si Doc Cy.
"Buhay sa buhay tayo, Arki," Miguel said at itinutok kay Doc Cy ang hawak niyang baril. "Ikaw ang dahilan Arki kung bakit nawala si Mikhaila.. kaya buhay din ang kukunin ko sa'yo,"
"Stop this, Miguel!" sigaw kong muli. "Alam natin parehong hindi si Y/N ang may kasalanan,"
"Huwag kang maingay,"
"Huwag mong isisi sa iba 'yong kasalanang ikaw ang may gawa, Miguel."
"W-What are you saying, T-Trish?" Y/N asked.
Miguel laughed. "Right, it's time for the big surprise," he looked at me. "Hon, why don't you tell your beloved Arki everything?"
My eyes widened when I heard Miguel said that.
"Miguel.."
"Tell him/her!" sigaw niya. "Tell Y/N everything, hon,"
"T-Tricia," Y/N looked at me with his/her eyes full of questions na gustong masagot.
I closed my eyes and gulped.
"Miguel.." I stopped for a moment at umiling, trying na pigilan ang luha ko. "Miguel is my ex. That night, the accident night.. s'ya 'yong nagmamaneho at hindi ako,"
"At walang mangyayaring aksidente kung hindi dahil sa'yo," Miguel said habang nakatingin kay Y/N. "Kung hindi ka lalampa lampa at sakitin, sana.. sana hindi s'ya namatay,"
"D-Duwag ka," Y/N said habang diretso rin ang tingin kay Miguel.
"Ano? Anong sabi mo?"
"Duwag ka, Miguel," ulit niya. "Duwag ka kasi hindi mo matanggap na mali mo lahat," Y/N continued. "What a s-shame na pilit mong isinisisi sa iba dahil hindi mo kaya mamuhay with guilt because of what happened,"
"Kasalanan mo lahat 'to.." pagpipilit ni Miguel. "Ikaw ang may kasalanan!"
"H-Hindi ka na nahiya sa anak mo.. ganiyang klase kang tao,"
Miguel smirked. "Wala akong anak,"
"Putangina mo!" Y/N shouted at siniko si Miguel dahilan para mabitawan siya.
Napahiga si Miguel at bago pa siya makatayo ay pinaibabawan na siya ni Y/N.
I quickly ran towards Doc Cy at kinalas 'yong mga nakatali sa kaniya.
"Can you walk?" I asked her at dahan dahan naman siyang tumayo habang inaalalayan ko.
"Sige, sige pa, Arki! Saktan mo ang sarili mong kapatid!" Miguel shouted and laughed which made us stop.
Napalingon kami ni Doc Cy sa kanila and we saw how Y/N stopped punching Miguel because of what we just heard.
"Surprise?" pangaasar ni Miguel at tinulak si Y/N. Nang makatayo siya ay pinunasan niya 'yong labi niyang dumugo. "Anong pakiramdam, ha? Anong pakiramdam malaman na 'yong taong kinakalaban mo, kapatid mo pala?"
"S-Stop," Y/N said at dahan dahang napaupo. "That's not true,"
"Kuya!" napalingon kami sa pinto and there we saw Keith.
"Oh, wow! The other sister is here," Miguel said. "Makinig kayo," he looked at Y/N and Keith. "Basically, Arki your Mom.. or should I say, our Mom? Cheated sa tatay mo, right? With my Dad, her first love. And there, ako ang nabuo nila. And my Dad eventually cheated din sa nanay natin, with Keith's mom,"
"No.." both Keith and Y/N said.
"Yes, sa ayaw niyo man o sa gusto, kapatid niyo ako. At alam mo ba kung bakit.. kung bakit galit na galit ako sayo?" lumapit siya kay Y/N at hinawakan ang kwelyo ng damit nito. "Sa sobrang sakitin mo, kinailangan kang dalhin ni Ate Mikhaila sa ospital, kaya naaksidente kayo at namatay siya. Pero alam mo 'yung mas nakakagalit? That same night, Y/N.. that same night, I needed Ate Mikhaila to be with me dahil nung gabing 'yon.. nasa ospital din at naghihingalo si Mommy,"
A tear escaped Miguel's eyes.
"Alam mo kung bakit? May sakit s'ya pero dahil nalaman niyang dadalhin ka sa ospital, pinilit niyang lumabas at doon.. hindi niya kinaya," patuloy niyang kwento. "Ikaw ang dahilan ng lahat.. pero ikaw pa rin 'yong pinipili nila, bakit kaya ganoon?"
"Kuya.." Keith tried na alisin ang pagkakahawak ni Miguel kay Y/N pero inalis lang din nito ang kamay ni Keith.
"Dalawang buhay ng taong mahal ko 'yong nawala dahil mo.." gigil na saad niya. "Tapos pati si Tricia.. pati si Tricia, Y/N na tanging pumili sa'kin nung mga oras na kailangang kailangan ko ng aalalay sa akin, siya lang 'yong sumama sa'kin para puntahan si Mommy, pero ano? Kinuha mo rin,"
"Lian.. who's Lian's father?" tanong ni Y/N.
"Engr. Valdez," I answered. "Engr. Valdez is Lian's father,"
"Shut it, Tricia," pigil ni Miguel sa akin.
"Engr. Valdez.. raped Ate Mikhaila, Y/N." pagpapatuloy ko. "That's why sumama at nag stay ako kay Miguel, dahil kung hindi.. kukuhanin nila si Lian sa'yo, may plano silang kuhanin si Lian sa'yo,"
"How.. dare you!?" Y/N shouted at sinugod si Miguel.
Pareho silang napahiga at agad namang umibabaw si Y/N.
Arki's so mad.
"Putangina niyo!" sigaw niya habang umiiyak. "Parehong pareho kayo ng tatay mo!"
Lumapit sa amin si Keith at inalalayan kami palayo ron sa dalawa.
Nang lingunin ko muli sila, sakal sakal ni Y/N si Miguel, gigil na gigil ito at sobrang higpit nung hawak sa leeg ni Miguel.
Namumula na siya at naglalabasan na 'yong mga ugat niya.
"Tara na po, pataas na 'yong mga pulis," Keith said at inalalayan kami ni Doc Cy.
We're walking peacefully towards the door.
And in the blink of an eye..
A gunshot was heard.
Napatigil kami.
Lumuwag ang pagkakahawak ni Doc Cy sa kamay ko at dahan dahan siyang natumba. Tumama 'yong ulo niya sa may pader.
When I looked at Miguel, he's holding the gun na siyang ibinaril kay Doc Cy.
"Y/N, si Doc Cy!" I shouted, agad siyang lumingon at nang akmang tatakbo palapit sa amin..
I saw Miguel pointed the gun at Y/N's back.
"Y/N!"
Napapikit ako nang makarinig muli nang tunog ng baril.
When I opened my eyes..
Y/N's standing in front of us habang si Keith.. nakayakap sa likod niya.
Keith gave me a smile.
Bago siya tuluyang bumagsak ay may bumaril muli.
Not just once.. or twice.
Thrice.
Walang choice ang mga pulis kung hindi barilin si Miguel.. nang tatlong beses.
"Tricia? Keith?" I heard Ate Aiks. When she saw Keith, her jaw dropped. "No.. K-Keith?"
Ate Aiks run towards Keith at agad na napaupo sa sahig, inilagay niya 'yong ulo ni Keith sa hita niya at hinawakan ang kamay nito.
"K-Keith," tawag niya. "Keith, can you hear me?"
Keith slowly opened her eyes.
"L-Lalove-"
"Shh shh," pigil ni Ate Aiks at hinalikan ito sa noo. "Don't talk na, please dito lang ako, hindi ako aalis, hmm?"
I saw a tear escaped her eyes while looking at Keith.
"Cha, wake up," nang makalapit sa amin si Y/N ay agad nitong nilapitan si Doc Cy. "Wake up, please,"
"Ate!"
"Trish!"
Jill and Mama ran towards me at chineck kung okay lang ako. I said I'm fine and when I looked at Ate Aiks and Y/N they're both crying while holding Doc Cy and Keith sa mga bisig nila.
Huminga ako nang malalim bago lumapit kay Ate Aiks at Keith.
I checked Keith's pulse at tiningnan 'yong tama niya.
I quickly removed my jacket at inilagay 'yon sa sugat niya. Kinuha ko 'yong kamay ni Ate Aiks at siyang itinuon doon sa jacket.
"Ate Aiks, listen to me," I said. "You need to do this for Keith," kahit na umiiyak, she nodded. "We need to stop the bleeding, put a lot of pressure on the wound, alright?"
Agad siyang sumunod at iniwan ko sila ron para puntahan naman si Doc Cy.
"Mama, tumawag kayo ng ambulance, please," I said.
"We already did, Trish," Mama answered and rubbed my shoulders.
Nang makalapit kay Doc Cy, compared kay Keith, mas mahina ang pagdudugo ng sugat niya pero maging 'yong ulo niya ay may dugo. Mas mahina rin ang pag hinga niya.
Just like what we did to Keith, we put a lot of pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding hanggang sa makarating 'yong ambulansya.
Tatlong magkakasunod na ambulansya ang nagmamadaling makarating sa ospital. Si Jill ang sumama kay Ate Aiks habang ako ay nandito kay Doc Cy.
While Miguel.. 'yong mga pulis ang kasama niya.
Nang makarating sa ospital, agad kaming dumiretso sa emergency room.
"Doc! The patient is having cardiac arrest!" one of the nurse who's assisting me shouted.
"T-Trish, what's happening?" Y/N asked at hinawakan ang kamay ko. "Please, save Cha, Trish please."
"I'll do my best, Y/N." I said at agad na tumakbo papunta kay Doc Cy.
I started doing the chest compression.
"Checking heart rhythm," I said at inilapat ang dalawang daliri ko sa may bandang leeg niya.
I closed my eyes. "Nothing, I'll do it again," I said at nagpatuloy sa ginagawa.
"Please, Cha," I whispered. "For Y/N,"
"Checking pulse,"
"Still nothing, again!"
And after a few more chest compression..
"ROSC, she's back,"
Dahan dahan akong bumaba sa kama while panting really hard.
"She.. she needs immediate surgery," I said and they all nodded at me.
Nanghihinang lumabas ako at agad naman akong sinalubong ni Y/N.
"Trish, how is she?" nagaalalang tanong niya, still crying.
"She's back, but right now, if I'll be honest with you, I really can't tell kung ligtas na ba s'ya talaga," I said. "But don't worry, ooperahan siya and I know.. hindi susuko si Doc Cy para sa'yo,"
"Trici-"
"Cardiac arrest!" agad kaming napalingon nang dalawang doctor ang narinig naming sumigaw non.
Agad kaming tumakbo palapit doon and there we saw..
Miguel and Keith fighting for their lives.
"Keith.." Ate Aiks said at akmang tatakbo palapit kay Keith pero pinigilan namin siya.
"Ate, let them do their job,"
"Trish, si Keith," aniya at umiiyak na yumakap sa akin.
Lumapit siya nang bahagya doon at napahawak sa kamay namin ni Jill.
"Keith, bati na tayo, hmm?" she said, napayuko ako. Ate's in pain. "Hindi na kita aawayin ulit, just.. just please hang in there and don't leave m-me,"
Right after she said that, we saw a tear escaped Keith's eyes.
"Do fight, Keith, Ate Aiks is waiting for you. We are waiting for you," I whispered.
Jill rubbed Ate Aiks' back habang umiiyak din.
Hinanap ng paningin ko si Y/N and I saw him/her standing with Mama sa harap ng katabing bed ni Keith.. sa harap ng bed ni Miguel.
He/she's not doing anything, wala rin akong mabasang emosyon sa mukha at mata niya.
Hinahayaan niya lang na pumatak ang mga luha niya.
We can't do anything but to wait and pray.
When both of the doctor stopped..
Nakarinig kami ng tunog nung ECG heartbeat monitor.
Habang 'yong isa.. straight line.
one of the doctor said.
While the other one sighed bago tumingin sa amin.

Bone And Amber: The Inside Story On The Return Of The Dinosaurs
A miracle has been achieved: non-avian, Mesozoic dinosaurs have been brought back to life - not by a technical university or a government programme, but by a venture capitalist concern, for reasons of profit. The social, economic, and political ripples of this development will do much more than enable the simple launch of a theme park for the rich: they will change the world. FAQ: Do I need to know anything about the Jurassic Park franchise to enjoy this? No. This story is not exactly a Jurassic Park fanfic - it is a story about the de-extinction of Mesozoic dinosaurs. While the story begins with some of the events depicted in the Jurassic Park universe, it is very much its own creature, and designed for readers with no prior knowledge of the franchise. It will begin to diverge quite quickly, as well: the dramatic focus will not be on people running around tropical islands trying to be eaten. The whole point of the exercise is to explore the profound consequences and ripples an event like the mass-cloning of extinct animals would generate.Do I need to know anything about dinosaurs to enjoy this? Also no! Sensing a theme yet? Although, if I’ve done my homework correctly, a newbie to the subject will be able to pick up something - not just about the animals themselves, but about their role as a vehicle to better understand the history of life on Earth, and the application of the scientific method to a sadly fragmentary puzzle.Without further ado, please enjoy!

The Amazing Sidekick
Jack Snyder died on Earth during a car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears. Jack glanced at her hand and saw sharp and long fingernails caressing his face. A fluffy blue tail was trembling behind her, signalling her worries. Jack saw a pool of blood on the ground near a rock, and he had a big bandage on his head. Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. . “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.*
