Untold Chase [Completed] - Executive Series #2

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

As the cold wind brush my skin I feel so refresh. The green leaves of the trees, the coldness of breeze, the woods, the blue sky above, everything is perfect as I close my eyes and feel the moment.

The moment Finn and I escape.

It's difficult making this decision. My cousins, our parents, and of course our relatives won't allow this. But this is escape and it's thrill and fun for me. Having Finn beside me feels like I'm safe, I'm whole, and genuinely and happy.

Matagal pa naming pinag-usapan ito ni Finn. Of course Finn knows everything so we escaped from our cousins and have some alibis. Sinabi naming uuwi na muna kami sa Manila kasi may aasikasuhing trabaho sa Lohan. Syempre nagtaka sila at tumutol agad pero napapilit namin sila sa tulong ni Anne at Tyrill. Wala silang magawa kundi ang sumang-ayon na lang sa dalawa naming kaibigan kahit na hindi naman totoo ang trabahong 'yon.    I talked to Anne at naiintindihan niya ang sitwasyon namin. I even sent her some photos kasi sabi ko naa-out of place kami sa trip na 'yon kasama ang mga pinsan namin. Mas close naman talaga kasi sila dahil dito sila lumaki sa Pinas samantalang kami ni Finn ay sa US. At last napapayag ko si Anne na kausapin ang mga pinsan ko para makabalik kami sa Manila.

"Are you sure? Hindi mo ba ienjoyin ang vacation niyo dyan with your cousins?" Tanong ni Anne sa akin thru video call.

Tumango ako sa kanya at ngumiti, "Yeah, I told you that we're out of place here." I pretend to sound like bored.

Medyo nagiging blooming na ang mukha ni Anne and fluffy na ang cheeks niya and I found her cute. Ang ganda niya kasing buntis.

"Kara, I know that you're bored. Just... Just tell me the truth behind it." Nabigla ako sa sabi niya kaya napalapit ko ang phone ko sa akin at tinigil ang pag-aayos ko ng buhok.

"What do you mean, Anne?"

Umiling-iling muna siya bago magsalita, "Just... There's something you wanna talk about. Don't be that silent. Something's going on?" Her voice is very concerned to me.

This is why I love Anne because she's bold and true at the same time concerned and sometimes frank like me.

"Wala naman..." I paused. Maybe she knew that there's something between me and her friend Finn.

"Sure? Pagbalik mo dito kwento mo sakin. I'll always listen. Remember?" Balik niya sa akin.

"Yes, ma'am! Copy po!" I sound like teasing her.

Natawa na lang siya sa akin at sinabing ang cute ko daw sa paningin niya. Sana daw maging kamukha ko ang magiging baby nila ni Tyrill.

"Sus, sino ba ang pinaglilihian mo? Ako o si Finn?" I asks knowing na gustong-gusto niyang makita si Finn.

"Both. Ang cute niyo kaya." She giggled.

Natawa na lang ako at nagpaalam na but before she ended the call she speak about us.

"Kara, if you feel exhausted about your feelings, just tell me. I know nahihirapan ka. And please tell me everything, I will never judge both of you, I'll listen instead. Maybe I can help both of you. So that's it. Bye. Love you."

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita kasi kusa niya nang pinatay ang facetime. Nanginig ang tuhod ko sa mga sinabi niya. She knew it. She knew everything about us. Malakas ang pakiramdam ni Anne dahil naging Private Investigator nga pala siya dati and knowing her, aalamin niya ang lahat ng hinala niya.

Hindi na siguro bago sa akin ito. Sam also knew about it. Sana lang si Anne ay hindi niya nakukwento kay Tyrill dahil baka masapak niya ang sarili niyang kaibigan.
