CHAPTER 12 - CHICKEN CURRY

Ting!

Napatingin ako sa coffee table kung saan naroroon 'yung cellphone kong tumunog. Kasalukuyan akong nanonood dito sa living room, netflix with maching chips.

I didn't get in because my attorney didn't wake me up. I woke up around twelve o'clock.

Speaking of Eira, when I woke up earlier she was no longer in the condo. She just left food and a sticky note saying 'Don't come to our school, you're still sick so just eat your food and take your medicine and don't go anywhere, Arallonzhu just rest.
-Eira'

Oh, napaka bossy, 'no?

But I'm really thankful to her because she really took care of me last night. She woke me up last night to take medicine and it looks like, she even wiped me because when I woke up this morning there was a wet towel on my forehead.

So I'm pretty sure, she stayed up to take care of me.

Ano kaya itsura niya ngayon? Gayong napuyat siya? Napangiti ako, sigurado akong maganda pa rin 'yon kasi shuta, kahit yata hindi maligo ng isang taon 'yon ay sobrang ganda pa rin niya.

Wala na rin ako problema sa school. Sinabi ko na kasi sa mga kaibigan ko na may sakit ako kaya hindi ako nakapasok. Todo react pa nga si Tiffany na baka raw mamatay na ako o may taning na ba raw ang buhay ko.

Parang tanga lang.

Pero pasalamat ako kasi bibigyan daw nila ako ng mga notes pati 'yung mga cases i-sesend na rin daw nila.

Hindi na rin ganoon kasakit 'yung ulo ko kaya puwede na akong pumasok bukas-

I blinked when my cellphone rang again. shoot! I didn't even see what the notification was. I frowned when an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

096********  is calling..

Who the hell is this? Nagtataka man ay pinindot ko 'yung answer button.

"Hel-"

"[Why aren't you answering my texts?!]"

The cellphone moved a bit away from my ear when it suddenly screamed. The fudge is it a problem? And why does the voice seem so familiar to me?

"H-Ha? Do you have texts? And wait...why would I do that in the first place? I don't even know you."

"[Seriously, Arallonzhu.]"

I was stunned, dang! How did she know my last name? Atsaka isang tao lang tumatawag sa akin non...biglang nanlaki 'yung mata ko.

Shet na malagkit! Don't tell me-

"M-Miss?"

"[Of course, Arallonzhu. You didn't recognize my voice?]"

"H-Ha? Hindi ah! Nakilala ko naman pero k-kasi..how did you know my number, ma'am attorney?"

Binigay ko ba sa kaniya? Or sinabi nina Tiffany? Pero sa pagkakatanda ko ay hindi ko binigay. Wala rin sinabi sina Zoe na binigay nila kay ma'am 'yung number ko.'Yung condo lang daw talaga.

Or perhaps sa school?

"[I get that when you let me used and borrow your phone.]"

"Oh? Why did you take it, miss? I mean, what was it for?"

'Di ba? Bakit niya kinuha? What is the reason?

"[H-Ha? O-Of course to text and call you. Common sense, Fabiana.]"

Back to Fabiana..

I was stunned for a few seconds before a smile gradually formed on my lips." Ikaw, ma'am Eira ah! I didn't know you wanted to call me—
