Cease Of Mirage [COMPLETED]

Chapter 39: Officially Over

3RD PERSON

Grey didn't bother to knock on Fauze's office and he hurriedly open the door. The two brothers who are busy talking about business were interrupted. They give him a blank stare.

Grey catches his breath before talking. "I found her," he hardly say, then breath so hard. Natigilan si Fauze at Rizwan. "But, I don't know her exact location," dugtong ni Grey.

Napahilamos ng mukha si Fauze at hindi niya alam kung matutuwa ba siya o kakabahan na maaring mali na naman ang lead na nakuha ni Grey.

"Are you serious? I mean how? Where?" maging si Rizwan ay hindi alam kung ano ang gagawin o mararamdaman.

"I checked the airports once again and I saw their name on the list. See it yourself." Kinuha ni Grey 'yong laptop na nakapatong sa table ni Fauze. Sinaksak niya rito 'yong flash drive at may kinalikot siya saka lumabas 'yong list ng mga panglan ng tao na lumabas at dumating sa bansa. Nakatitig lang si Fauze at Rizwan sa screen ng laptop habang ini-scan ni Grey ito. "There," turo niya sa pangalan na nasa monitor. "And they arrived three weeks ago," dugtong niya.

"What the f*ck," hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Fauze. Samantalang si Rizwan ay tumawa ng mahina at napakagat sa ibabang labi nito.

"The only problem is we don't know where she is right now," si Grey.

"Check her other information," Riz suggested.

"Oh, I forgot. I got her phone number. But, I tried to call her and she was not picking the phone," kunut-noong sabi ni Grey.

"Then, track her phone. Damn it," it's Fauze. His palm is sweating and his heart is pumping so fast. He's nervous, but excited at the same time.

Tinrack nga ni Grey 'yong telepono ni Trist at agad niyang nahanap ang location nito. Nakatitig silang tatlo sa red dot kung saan ang eksaktong location ni Trist.

"Wait, I know that place," mahinang sabi ni Fauze. His brow furrowed in confusion. "What the hell is she doing in that place in 1:00 in the morning?" he asked.

"There's only one thing to answer that question."

"Is to go there," dugtong ni Riz sa sinabi ni Grey.

TRIST

Sana narito ka para patawanin ulit ako.

Pinunasan ko ang baba ng mata ko bago pa tumulo 'yong luha kong nagbabadyang bumagsak. Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga at tumingin sa harap.

"Bits..."

Natigilan ako at bahagyang umawang ang labi ko.

Ilusyon lang ba 'to?

Nanatili lang akong nakatitig sa kaniya at ilang beses na kumurap.

"Oh, God. It's you."

Mas lalo akong nagulat nang tumakbo siya palapit sa 'kin at bigla akong niyakap. Hindi ako makagalaw dahil hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko.

Humarap siya sa 'kin at hinawakan 'yong magkabilang mukha ko. Ang lamig ng kamay niya.

"It's really you," he said while his tears are keep on falling and he hugs me again. I'm still in shock. I heard his sobs on my shoulder.

I regretted that I wished him here earlier. I'm not yet ready to face him again.

3RD PERSON

Bahagyang nagulat si Fauze nang kumawala si Trist sa pagkakayakap niya rito. Maging sina Grey at Rizwan na nanonood mula sa malayo ay napakunot ng noo.
