CHAPTER 21: NEAR

BELAYA'S POV

I've been awake for the past two hours but instead of getting up to have breakfast with Pierce, I decided to just stay in bed. It's not like I want to go back to sleep. I just don't want to get up yet and face the world.

I looked at my phone's calendar again as if staring at it would change the date. Napapabuntong-hininga na pinatay ko iyon at inilagay ko sa tabi ko bago ako tumagilid para yakapin ang unan ko. I hate this month more than anything. Lalo na ang papalapit na araw na ayoko na sanang maalala.

"Hey."

My eyes went to the direction of the voice and I saw Pierce standing at the door. Kunot ang noo niya habang tinitignan ang ayos ko. Usually kasi halos sabay lang kami magising. Minsan nga nauuna pa ako. Hindi naman kasi sanay ang pagkatao ko sa masyadong mahaba na tulog.

"You missed breakfast," he said.

Hindi ako umalis sa pagkakahiga at sa halip ay binigyan ko lang siya ng maliit na ngiti. "It's okay. I don't usually eat breakfast anyway."

"Are you dieting again?"

"Lagi naman akong diet. But no, I just don't feel like eating."

Lalong lumalim ang pagkakakunot nang noo niya. Inaasahan kong lalabas na siya pero sa pagtataka ko ay lumapit siya sa kinahihigaan ko. Hindi ko na nagawang makagalaw nang umangat sa direksyon ko ang kamay niya at nilapat niya iyon sa noo ko.

"You don't have a fever," he said.

"No I don't. Inaantok lang ako."

"You slept early last night."

He's right. It's been a busy week and I attended two script readings that went well. Usually it takes a lot of time but I found out The Chains Of Ravine was being planned years ago. Cast lang talaga ang problema nila na ngayon naman ay naayos na nila at ilang location hunting. They managed to cast all the main characters kaya nagawa na nilang makapag-schedule ng script reading.

"I'm just a little tired."

I know he can hear the lie behind my words. My schedule now is nowhere near as hectic as the schedules that I had before.

"Arctic's coming home this week, right?" I asked so we could change the subject.

"Yes. He'll be staying with Luna."

"That's too bad." Umupo ako at sumandal ako sa headboard ng kama. "Matatagalan pa ba bago mahanap ang gumagawa nito sa akin?"

"The stalker didn't leave any trace and we couldn't find a fingerprint on the mask that he left. We need him to make a move again so we'll get more information. As of now the list are getting narrower and we have men investigating the people on the list."
