Chapter 25

"Sino?"

I stood like a frozen statue, still staring at the window where she was. I touched my face as all my skin went up when she smiled at me. Who is she?

Nataas ang kilay si Hale habang hawak hawak ang aking mga kamay. He gently led me to sit down as I calm myself by drinking my coffee with my hands still trembling in fear, but he looked at me with sincere eyes and steadied my hand as I sighed.

"The woman I saw on the window is the exact woman whom I saw between the trees when we were at Caniaw for our fieldtrip. She keeps popping where I'm in."

"Let's report it—"

"No! I have a feeling that were connected somehow. I don't know, can you help me?" I pleaded as his brows furrowed and drank his coffee while thinking something deep.

Biglang sumagi nanaman saking isipan ang kanyang tattoo. It's exactly like mine, is this a coincidence? I've been in many tattoo stores and searched in the internet what is the meaning of my tattoo, it's very strange and I think they just made it up.

But why do we have same tattoos? Am I part of a merciless deal? A merciless family?

"What if I'm adopte—"

"Tell me everything Jemima. All of what's happening to your life when strange things happened." He cut me off and my lips formed a thin line. Why won't no one believe me that I may be adopted?

"Well it started when Mum and Dad wanted to go to the Philippines. Then odd things started to happen. I saw just saw yaya Delilah on my school twice, and on the fieldtrip, the woman just showed up and a symbol was even carved in one of the trees, then yaya died unexpectedly and I just overheard some conversation from Mum that she is protecting me, then Arsen 'died' saying that he is protecting me as well. Then you introduced me the gems of Puerto Princesa, about Aurelie Dela Cruz; Arsen even mentioned the Dela Cruz in his reasons, then now, look at this."

He was listening to me intently and thinking deeply at the same time gave me creeps. Does he know something about this? How can he act so calm while I'm freezing to death!

As I gently pulled up my jeans and gently bring up my knee to his lap, he groaned as I chuckled before pointing at my tattoo.

It was an infinite symbol and on the right loop it has a sword and on the left loop, it has a feather.
