CERENE POV
Natawa ako sa naging reaction ni Celene nang buhatin ito ni Knight paalis ng pool.
She was so dumbfounded. She hate attention at sa ginawa ni Knight ngayon, she must be so ashamed.
"Let's go?" pag-aya sa akin ni Vince.
"Uh huh! Let's go where?" nakataas na kilay kong tanong. 
Vince smirked. "You can't sleep at your cabin, Knight will sleep there" 
My brow shot up. Magsasalita pa sana ako ng dumating si Knight, obviously pissed. 
Well, I can't blame him.. We've been looking for Celene for about thirty minutes nong nadatnan namin ito sa pool area. We were supposed to have dinner ng puntahan ko ito sa cabin pero wala siya. Sinabi ko kay Vince kaso narinig ni Knight. I told him she must be somewhere here roaming around but he was overreacting. So, he made it a big deal and now it became complicated. 
"You can't sleep at your cabin. I'm occupying it" Derektahan na sabi nito with his irritated tone. 
Ugh! He's so commanding.  
"You can't do that Mr. Zanturi! I know this resort belongs to your family but I'm still one of your VIP" I said while flipping my hair.  Nakakainis! 
Binalingan nito si Vince "Handle your girlfriend Vince"  
Agad din itong tumalikod at umalis. 
I scoffed. Did he ignore me?  
Binalingan ko si Vince habang nakapamewang "Where am I supposed to sleep then?" naiinis na tanong ko. 
"You can sleep at your friends cabin or you can sleep in mine" suggestion niya.
There's no way I'm gonna sleep at my friend's cabin. Sleeping there means stress and I hate stress. I don't want to sleep at the boys cabin either.
Ngumiwi ako sa kanya.
"I will not sleep at those two. You can get me an extra room" 
So 'yon nga ang nangyari. Later that night, my sister texted me to go in our cabin. I said I can't, she didn't reply back, so I slept. 
"Babe, wake up" narinig ko ang sigaw ni Vince sa labas ng cabin while knocking the door. 
I groaned. "Go away.. I'm still sleepy" nagtaklob ako ng kumot.
I heard him stop so I started to drift back to sleep. But not until I felt a hand pulling me out of bed. 
I scream to the top of my lungs.
"Babe wake up. It's already nine AM. Your sister is looking for you" tatawa tawa niyang sabi. I shot him a deadly glare. 
Dahil sa paghila nito sa akin ay nahimasmasan ako. I went to bathroom and do my thing while he is  waiting inside my cabin. 
We then went to the restaurant of Bolky dahil nauuna na daw don sina Knight and Celene. 
"Yow, Knight where is my sister? Is she still alive?" pabiro kong tanong dito habang nakataas ang kilay. But the brute is rude! He didn't even glance at me. Nakatoon lang ang attention niya sa laptop nito. 
"Babe don't talk to him. You only need me" nakangisi na bulong ni Vince.  Inirapan ko ito. He is teasing me! 
May naka reserve ng table para sa amin. Kasama ang mga girls and boys but seems like kami pa ang naunang dumating. Pero hindi rin nagtagal ay dumating ang dalawa kong kaibigan. 
Allyana and Hannah walked toward us while whispering to each other. 
"Where is Danica?" agap kong tanong ng makalapit sila sa table. 
"Is she not yet here? She went before us" sabi ni Hannah habang palinga-linga sa paligid. 
I shrugged at binaliwala na lang ito. She's irritating! Naupo sila sa bakangting upuan sa right side ko. Si Hannah ang tumabi sa akin.
"Girl, I don't want to say this but Danica seems to hate Celene for what happened yesterday" bulong ni Hannah. Tumaas ang kilay ko sa narinig. 
How dare she hate my sister? This is not Celene's fault. If she wants to hate my sister, then she is so out of the group! 
"What did she do last night? sorry I choose to stay away. I can't stand Danica for some reason" bulong kong tanong kay Hannah. Nakita ko ang pag-angat ng mata ni Knight sa amin. 
"Nothing much, more drama" 
Nag bulong bulungan pa kami ni Hannah pero ng napansin naming kumukunot na ang noo ni Knight ay tumahimik kami.  
Duh! What is his problem? 
Binalingan ko si Vince na kanina pa nakatuon ang attention sa phone niya. He's handling some of his business mail kahit nasa vacation ito. His other hand ay nasa bewang ko. 
I then titled my head at Knight when he suddenly stood up. Lahat kami ay napabaling ang attention sa kanya. 
"Is there a problem Mr. Knight?" Tinaasan ko ito ng kilay.
I felt a hand slightly pinching my waist at saka ako inilapit sa kanya 
Natawa ako. "Is my Vincente Kairo Zanturi jealous?" I whisper in his ear, teasing him. 
He chuckled. He then smirked ng balingan ako nito. He swiftly stole a kiss from me.
"I'll just check Celene. She seriously is taking all the damn time" Knight said sarcastic while nakatingin sa girls bathroom. 
Napatingin ulit ako kay Knight. He can't understand us, women. We have many necessary things to do inside the bathroom. 
"The bathroom is just a mile from here. You're just overreacting" sabi ko habang nakahalukipkip. 
We heard a loud bang coming from the girls bathroom kaya agad kaming na alarma.
Knight immediately walked toward it. Nagsisunod naman kami. I feel scared all of a sudden. 
The bathroom is locked but we heard a scream. The voice belongs to Danica. 
My heart starts to pound. If Danica was inside, the possibility of her doing something to Celene is very high. 
Gosh! My sister! 
Ako na agad ang bumukas ng pinto but damn it's locked, it won't move no matter how hard I tried. 
Knight clicked his tongue. Pinatabi ako niya ako at siya na mismo ang sumira ng door.  Bumukas ito dahil sa pagsipa niya dito. 
But shit! What I saw after opening the door was enough to make my world tremble. I saw my sister, lying on a floor barely conscious. Blood is pouring out of her head. 
"Fck!" Knight utter. He angrily faced Danica and held her neck. I saw how she struggled to breath but Vince immediately separated the two. 
"Fck it knight, she's still a woman" Vince yelled. 
Nakahawak si Vince sa kwelyo ni Knight as he tried to stop him from attacking Danica. 
"What did you do?" malamig na tanong ni Knight kay Danica. Nangilabot ako sa subrang lamig nito. Paano natatagalan ni Celene ang ill-tempered na ito?
Danica was so scared that she didn't know what to do. She was crying while looking at her hands full of blood. My sister's blood. 
I was shocked na huli na ng mag sink in sa akin ang mga nangyayari. I then start to cry hysterical ng makitang unti-unti ng pumipikit ang kapatid ko. 
"Celene" tawag ko dito, crying heavily. I was about to touch her nang naunahan ako ni Knight. 
He immediately carried her carefully. Nakikita kong lumalayo na sila pero nakatulala lang ako. I just don't know what to do. 
Sometimes I argued with Celene about pity things but for us, it was just how we bond. Now that I saw her lifeless body I couldn't describe what I felt right now. I'm scared... I'm sad... I'm hurt.... I'm regretful..
Sana hindi ko na lang siya sinama since hindi naman siya mahilig lumabas. Sana umuwi na lang kami nong nag-aya itong umuwi. 
It's all my fault! 
I felt someone hugged me. "Babe it's ok, everything will be just fine" mahigpit ang pagkayap sa akin ni Vince. 
"Vince, I can't breathe" I said while trying to inhale but I seem to forget how. 
Hinawakan nito ang ulo ko at pinataas para makita ko siya. "look at me hmmm, please breath" he begged but I couldn't. I started to feel weak. I want to breathe pero the fact na I'm crying heavily made it so hard. 
"I can't" bulong ko. I don't know if he heard it. 
I saw him sighed. "I'll count to three then you will breathe with me ok?" I just nodded. 
He counted one to three and I inhaled and exhaled with him. 
Finally, I breathe! 
We immediately went to knight and my sister. Puro iyak lang ang nagawa ko habang papunta kami sa hospital na pinagdalahan ni Knight sa kapatid ko. 
Naiwan si Danica sa Bolky dahil pinag-utos ni Knight sa nga crew na hindi ito palalabasin. She has to pay for what she had done. 
"Mom" I utter ng sagutin niya ang tawag ko. 
[Oh it there a problem Anak?] Tanong niya ng marinig ang boses ko. 
I inhaled deeply and prepared for some confrontations. "Mom, sinugod po sa hospital si Celene"  
Narinig kong suminghap si mom [What! What happened?] pagalit na tanong niya. Humagulgul na naman ako. 
I understand why mom is so mad. We've been living... just the two of us for a long time kaya nong dumating si Celene sa amin ay biglang sumaya ang buhay namin. 
We just can't lose her again! 
"Mom I'll explain po kapag nasa hospital na po ako" binaba ko ang tawag. 
"This is all my fault" sisi ko sa sarili. Nasa passenger's seat ako ng kotse ni Vince. 
Sumandal ako at humagulgul. Nagsisimula na naman akong kapusin ng hininga. Napapahawak na lang ako sa dibdib dahil sa sakit. 
Hininto ni Vince ang sasakyan sa gilid ng kalsada. He hugged me again while rubbing my back. I hugged him back and cried all my pain to him. 
"It will be ok. Knight is there. He will do everything to save your sister" pag comfort niya sa akin. I just nod.
"Knight how is she?" tanong ni Vince pagkarating namin. 
"I don't know yet, she's in operating room" nakakuyom ang mga kamay niya habang sinasabi 'to. 
Pabalik balik siya nang lakad habang malalim ang iniisip. Nakaupo lang ako habang tulala. 
Vince went to Knight at may binulong ito dito. His brow creased and his jaw clenched. He then stormed out without saying a thing. 
"Where is Celene?" nagmamadaling tanong ni mom. 
She looks so stressed. 
Sinalubong ko ito ng yakap. "Mom she is still in operating room"  Nag uunahan na naman ang mga luha ko. 
She hugged me back.
"What happen? Bakit siya nahospital?" halatang nagpipigil ng galit ito. 
"It's my fault. Sana hindi ko na lang siya sinama" 
She shook her head. She patted my back and started to comfort me even though hindi pa niya alam ang nangyari. 
Pinakalma muna ako ni mom bago ako pinayagan na magpaliwanag. 
Vince was standing near the operating door watching us. Mom still didn't know about him kaya hindi 'to makalapit sa amin. 
Kung wala lang ang nangyayari ngayon, ipapakilala ko siya kay mom but now is not the right time. 
Fifteen minutes later ay dumating ang cousin ko. "Couz what happened to Celene?" 
Napaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya. She has worried face. 
"Couz, you're here?" tanong ko. I don't know why I even asked that. It's obvious she would be here. She never missed a significant event in our life. 
She showed me her sad face. She then hugged me tightly. "You're getting ugly. Don't tell me you've been crying since tita's call?" 
I just shrugged. 
"Iha, I've been telling her to stop but she's still crying" sabi ni mom. 
She may be not crying but I know deep down inside she is miserable as well. 
"Celene is strong. She will be ok. You need to stop crying. Baka ikaw nanaman ang sumunod sa kanya sa hospital na 'to" 
I heaved a sighed. 
Now that they're here, the burden I'm carrying drifted slowly. At least, I'm not alone now. 
We waited for thirty minutes pero wala paring lumalabas sa operating room. Every passing minute is just nerve racking. 
Mom and Aihama tried to lift the atmosphere but sadly I couldn't relaxed myself no matter how they tried. 
Nag-uusap na sila. Minsan nakikinig ako pero most of the time ay lutang ako. 
I feel suffocated for unknown reason. I excused myself at agad ding lumabas. Pag labas ko ay agad akong sinalubong ng hangin. It comfort me. 
I inhale deeply at ibinuga din pagkatapos.
"God save my sister" bulong ko sa kawalan.
May narinig akong yabag sa likod ko pero hindi ako lumingon. Wala ata akong lakas para lumingon pa.  
"Babe are you ok?" bulong ni Vince. 
I nodded. "Yeah, thank you for staying at my side" 
Humarap ako sa kanya at tumitig dito. He advanced toward me and wiped the tears that's visible on my face. 
"I hate you seeing like this babe" he said like he's in pain too.
I tried to smile kahit pilit lang. 
"If Knight didn't do anything about that woman, I will make her pay. Trust me, no one wants to taste my rage, I can be violent than Knight" nagpipigil ng galit nitong sabi.
"I don't think you can do that" I said, trying to calm him. 
"I can babe, especially when it involves you" he said as he kissed my forehead.
