She turned off her phone and put it in a drawer. Ni-lock niya iyon para sigurado. Ang ibang gadgets niya ay tinago niya rin. Tanging TV lang ang naiwan para malibang naman siya kahit papaano.
Where's she? Still on her penthouse, but the thing is she's somewehere in the penthouse that Sais didn't know exist.
There's a secret room, and the way to secret room is on the kitchen. May malaking aparador ng mga mamahaling plato at kailangang itulak para mabuksan iton at makapasok na siya sa secret room.
This is one of the reason why she wanted to buy this kahit mahal. Hindi kasi sumama si Sais sa pag-iikot sa kada sulok, kaya siya lang ang nakakaalam.
Her stomack grumbled. Hindi niya alam kung anong oras o kung anong araw na, she removed any clock and watch in the room.
Lumabas siya at dahil nasa kitchen lang naman ay madali lang siyang makakuha ng pagkain sa ref.
Isang masarap na aroma ang naamoy niya, bumagsak ang paningin niya sa lutong pagkain sa mesa.
Shit. May tao sa penthouse niya.
Dali-dali niyang kinuhq ang pagkain at agad na pumasok sa secret room. Nilapag niya iyon sa mesa at saka muling bumalik sa likod ng aparador na siyang lagusan papunta sa labas. Nilapat niya ang tenga para marinig ang boses ng nasa kabila.
"What do you mean you can't find her? Damn it, you're all useless!" Galit na bulyaw ni Sais.
Napalunok siya. So, he's been looking for her.
Natahimik ito. Mukhang pinatay na ang tawag. Nakarinig siya ng ring, mukhang nay tinatawagan ito.
"Hover. She's not here, lahat ng sulok hinanap ko na. Are you really sure that here is her last destination? Can you check it again?" Tanong ni Sais.
Napalunok siya sa kaba dahil papalapit ang boses na 'yun. Napapikit siya at napabuga ng hangin ng kumuha lang pala ng plato si Sais.
"She's not here. The CCTV Footage also so her going in here pero hindi na nakita na lumabas siya. But how is that possible? She's not here. Even her shadow ain't showing." Galit na anas ng binata.
"I'll try again, bud." Sagot ni Hover sa kabilang linya.
Narinig niya ang mahinang buntong hininga ni Sais.
"Please, Hover. I need her." Nabasag ang tinig nito at nakaramdam siya ng pagsikip sa kanyang dibdib.
He sounds wreck. Nakyuryos tuloy siya kung anong itsura nito. Mas mukha ba itong pagod? O mag tumikas dahil alagang Mertyl?
Dahil sa isipang iyon ay nawala siya sa mood. Baka nga kasal na ang dalawa, eh!
"Son, wala pa rin?"
Her eyes widen upon hearing Mommy Caria's voice. She's also here?!
Hindi umimik si Sais.
"Sorry, son. It's my fault because I'm the one who initiate that idea. H-hindi ko naman alam na lalayuan ka ni Crosette imbes na bawiin." His mother sounds regretful.
She bit her lip. Pagpapanggap nga lahat ng 'yun.
"I know that Crosette won't bark for a man, Mom, but still I agreed to your idea thinking that she'll agree for us to get back together. But fuck, I could die in jealousy seeing her and Renzo together." He said painfully.
Nanikip ang dibdib niya sa sinabi nito. May kasalanan siya sa bagay na 'yun. If only she explained to him that there's nothing going on between her and Renzo. She should be more sensitive to him.
"Have you talk to Renzo? Hindi ba sila magkasama?" Tanong ni Mommy Caria.
Her eyes widen on that. Paano kung mali na naman ang akala ni Sais? Paano kung nawala nga ngayon si Renzo tapos hinalaan na naman silang magkasama?
"I kidnapped Renzo."
"What?!"
Muntik na niyang mabulaslas ang bulaslas ni Mommy Caria pero mabuti na lang ay napigilan niya ang sarili.
Pero ano?! He kidnapped Renzo?
"I don't know what to do! Siya lang ang alam ko na kayang magtago kay Crosette. That bastard." He spatted angrily.
Patay, wala talagang kasalanan si Renzo.
"What did you do to him, Sais?"
Hindi umimik ang binata.
Kinabahan siya doon, hindi mapalagay. Dahil baka kung ano na ang ginawa ni Sais na wala namang talagang kasalanan si Renzo! It was just all misunderstanding!
"I almost tortured him."
Tangina.
"Almost? But why are you acting like you killed him already?" Inis na saad ng ina nito.
"Crosette's best friend came into tge picture claiming that she's Renzo's girlfriend. Of course, I didn't believe her, what if she just say it to cover up her bestfriend?"
Tangina? Overthink malala, Sais.
"Don't you trust Crosette, anak?"
"I do! I do fucking trust her but I was filled with envy and jealousy Mom. It was already late night, she should be sleeping but she's nowhere to be found. I was about to look for her when she get out of Renzo's car. I was so fucking jealous and it just double wgen her secretary called me that she's not feeling well. I immediately went to see her but insecurity hits me as I open the door, Renzo was supporting her already." Nabasag ang boses ng binata.
" I was fucking hurt, I feel like she doesn't need me anymore. Since then, she's really independent but somehow I feel like she also depend on me. Then, shit happen, she grew on her own, now that she's successful, I feel like she doesn't need me anymore." Sais cried.
Sais cried...he's crying!
Narinig niya ang hikbi ni Sais na nagpasikip ng dibdib niya. She can hear Mommy Caria's whisper to calm him down pero umiyak lang ito.
"I-I need her, Mom. I don't fucking care if she already like Renzo, I can make her fall for me again. M-mom, find her, please. Please..." He begged.
Crosette doesn't beg to be back on his arms but Sais is willing to beg just to have her back.
Naramdaman na lang niyang tumulo ang luha sa kanyang mata. Agad niyang pinalis 'yun pero walang silbi dahil sunod-sunod na tumulo 'yun.
"Please, I love her so much. I had love her for a very long time. I had waited for her, I even manipulate things just to have her. I can't lose her. Not now, not ever." He said sincerely.
Hearing his confession made her cry even more. Ano bang iniiyak-iyak niya, siya naman 'tong nagtatago?
"Sshhh. Hahanapin na 'tin siya. We'll apologize to her, hmm? But for now, let's eat muna, okay? Luto na 'yung niluto ko kanina." Sabi ni Mommy Caria.
Her eyes widen and nervousness filled her system.
"Oh my gosh. The food is gone!" Gulat na bulaslas ni Mommy Caria.
Inis na pinukpok niya ang kanyang ulo.
Ang bobo! Ang bobo-bobo mo, Crosette.
"She's here." Sais muttered.
She's doomed.
