DDLFM #1: The Journalist's Secret

CHAPTER ELEVEN

CURIOUS

ANNIKA WAKES up without heaviness in her chest but her stomach is not as well as her heart. Agad itong tumayo mula sa kaniyang hinihigaan at tumakbo patungo sa comfort room.

She threw up in the toilet bowl. Her stomach felt like its turning upside down, just like how her life did.

She can still taste puke that was left on her lips, agad niya itong pinunasan gamit ang wipes. Ngunit wala itong kwenta dahil nasuka ulit sya.

This has always happened to her when she's stress. "This is hell. It's all Evan's fault." aniya habang ang kaniyang luha ay nasa gilid nang kaniyang mga mata.

She hates throwing up. Her face reddened from all the gagging she did and shes hungry after, kung wala ba namang matirang pagkain sa tiyan mo.

"Damn girl, why so impatient? I'm all your's, walang aagaw." He chuckled then proceed to shower her face with kisses.

When he said those words, something steered inside her — of course she had felt him inside her but those words made her feel something she can't explain, it's more like an emotional effect

Nang inisip niya si Matias ay mas lalo itong nasuka. Mas sumakit ang ulo niya dahil sa dalawang taong iniisip niya, mas na stress siguro siya.

She wipes her whole face with wet wipes before completely washing her face and hands. After doing so, she felt clean.

"Haaah..." She was exhausted, halos gumapang na ito makarating lang sa kama.

She looked at the table near the entrance, it have food and beside it seems like a note.

''Eat this, I'm going for a walk.''

Annika is confused, Cecilia usually takes walk at five in the mor-wait, what time is it?

Her eyes roamed every corner of the room until she found the clock she's been looking for. Seven minutes more and it will be six o'clock. She can't believe she got up this early.

She pulled a chair and sat on it. Her meal contains a lot of food including her favorite, strawberry.

It was cut as heart shape. She swallowed one and she absolutely like it but what surprised her was it was a little disappointing to her, clearly it taste the same so she can't tell why it's disappointing.

Her stomach felt unwell again , at agad na naman siyang tumakbo papunta sa pinag tambayan niya kanina. The sounds of her own gags makes it even more nauseous for Annika. 

Just what the heck is wrong?

After one hour and almost thirty minutes, Cecilia arrived at Annika's room looking presentable, halatang galing ito naligo. "Dad's in the living room, gusto mo kamustahin?"

Her uncle have a similar traits with Evan, especially because he have glasses and even the same one with Evan. 

"Sure." Walang bahid na pagdadalawang isip sa kaniyang mukha at pananalita. Cecilia believed her.

Annika didn't think about Nicco and Evan's similarities. She's light headed, at ang pag iisip niya ay naging literal. She wants to pay respect to the owner of the house, ang totoo ay dapat kahapon iyon pero umalis si Nicco at gabing-gabi na ito nakarating sa kaniyang bahay.

They walk down the stairs, side by side. Nicco was reading sa book — holding it with one hand while the other hand's back was used to support his cheeks and his elbow on the arm rest.

"Good morning, Tito Nicco!" bati ni Annika kay Nicco. He lifts his face and smile formed when he saw his daughter with her sister. Cecilia looks bright and happy when Annika is present kaya kahit hindi gusto ni Nicole na mag kita ang dalawa ay pinipilit ni Nicco ang kaniyang pinsan upang magkita ang dalawa.
