Love, Zachary [ COMPLETED]

7

Nasan na kaya si Summer? Dalawang araw na siyang hindi pumapasok. Nagaalala kaming lahat para sakanya.

"Hindi mo ba alam kung saan siya nakatira Jas?" Tanong sakin ni Aly.

"Hindi e, hindi pa ako nakakapunta sa bahay nila." Sagot ko.

"Baka naman may sakit siya?"  Pagtataka ni Chris

"Chris got a point. " Dagdag ni Adi

"Sus, hindi niya naman matitiis si Jasper. Lagi naman siyang inuupdate ni Summer e." Sabat ni Polo.

Wala kaming ideya kung anong nangyari kay Summer. Huli namin siyang nakita noong iniwan namin sila ni Zach sa clinic.

"Tignan niyo andito nanaman siya...."

Napalingon kami sa tinitignan ni Adi. Andito kami ngayon sa parking lot. Kanina pa yung dismissal. Simula nang hindi pumasok si Summer, panay angnpunta rito ni Zach. Pakiramdam ko si Summer rin ang hinahanap niya.

Tumayo ako sa bench at umalis sa pwesto namin. Naglakad ako palapit kay Zach.

"Asan si Summer?" Direkta kong tanong sakanya. Tinignan niya naman ako ng walang emosyon.

"I don't have no idea-----"

"Ikaw yung huli niyang kausap bago siya hindi pumasok. Kaya please, madaming nag-aalala sakanya. " Pagputol ko.

"I don't give a damn about Summer."

"Talaga? Panigurado akong si Summer  ang pinupunta mo rito. Huwag ka nang mag-aksaya ng oras dahil alam kong ayae niya rin naman sayo." Seryoso kong sabi.

"You're pathetic." Seryoso nitong sabi sakin.

Magsasalita na sana ako nang bigla itong tumalikod at nagumpisang maglakad palayo.

I parked my car in front of the local cafe. I'm on my way home but I decided to grab some coffee for dinner. I'm not in the mood to eat anything for tonight.

I went out of my car.

"Lewis?"

I saw Natalie. She's one of my colleagues and my co-workers at the hospital.

"You should let me buy you a coffee for lending me your notes. "

"Don't worry it's okay----" I wasn't able to finish my sentence when she started to pull me inside the coffee shop. It's almost closing time but we still made it.

"Good evening may I take your----"

"Order...."

I saw Summer at the cashier. She stopped and stare at me.

"I'll have a venti size Expresso. What about you sweetie?"

Summer's eyes went down to Natalie. She started to wrap her arms around my arm.

"I-I'll have the same." I said.

"Two venti Expresso, that would be 380 pesos po." Summer said.

Natalie paid her. I couldn't help but to stare at Summer. I can she that she's not sleeping well because of her dark under eyes. Her lips are also pale unlike before.

A guy went to her and gave her our orders. Summer handed us our drinks.

"Enjoy your coffee ma'am, Sir. "
