Death in the Family

"Natay ni Arken?"(Archie's dead?")

These were the three words my sister Minet said to the other line. She was talking to Hep, my 3rd brother, who was in a hospital in Bulacan to see what had happened to  my brother Archie.

Four hours before, an HRM representative called on my phone telling me that my brother had had an accident and my parents are needed to go there as soon as possible.  We kept asking her how's Archie's condition was but she refused to tell. She said that we should talk to the doctor. I really didn't know what to think about that time. I was afraid to know the truth but i wanted to know if he's okay or what. After four hours of waiting and we're still hoping that everything will be fine. The news finally came. Archie was dead.

I was crying and trembling and words kept coming out from my mouth. "It's not true! It's not true! It's not true! You're not dead! You said you're going to come home soon. It's not true!"

But it's true. My dear brother Archie's dead. His whole body was caught in the machine. He died in a chicken factory ( of Bounty Fresh Chicken). It was a very horrible death we will never get over even if we find justice for those responsible of his untimely demise.

Please pray for my dear brother's soul.
