After that conversation, I decided to call my cousin and tell him about this. It's already two am and my two boys is still fall asleep. I'm looking at my phone and thank God, I saw it on Asher's lap. Agad ko itong kinuha at nagsimulang tawagan ang pinsan ko.

"Thanks for disturbing my sleep." I can hear the sarcasms on his voice.

Paos pa ang boses Niya ng magsalita at mukhang naabala ko siya sa pagtulog Niya. I rolled my eyes as if, he can see it. Nakatulog si Asher sa sofa rito habang katabi ko Naman si celandine na natutulog sa hospital bed. Ewan ko lang Kung nalaman Niya na nasa hospital ako ulit. I heard his groaned on the other line.

"Chelsea? Darn, it's two am and you've just called me and disturb my sleep." He hissed.

Napataas lamang ang isang kilay ko sa sinabi Niya. "So?" Mataray na tanong ko.

I heard his sigh. "Siguraduhin mo lang na importante iyang sasabihin mo kung hindi, darn, I won't help you preparing celandine's birthday." Pagbabanta Niya.

"Then, don't!" I mocked at him and heard his protested groaned again. I chuckled because of that.

"Just straight to the point so, I can go back to sleep." Naiinip na aniya.

"Hell I care. Just to inform you, celandine knows it already." I said like a bitch.

Hinihintay ko na magsalita siya ng marinig ko ang pananahimik Niya. Magsasalita na sana ako ng marinig ko ang malakas na boses Niya kaya bahagya kung nailayo sa aking tenga ang phone ko. Mabuti Naman at sinagot Niya ang tawag ko kahit na unknown number ang nakarehestro roon dahil bagong phone ang gamit ko. Hindi Kasi ako makatulog eh.

"What? Are you out of your mind, Chelsea!" He yelled.

Napabuntong hininga ako. Mabuti at nakilala niya agad ang boses ko kahit hindi ako magpakilala. Now, he is mad. Mabuti at nasa mahimbing na tulog ang dalawa.

"No, I'm not. He confess that he knows it already and he's waiting for me to tell that to him. He accidentally heard our conversation." I explain.

I heard his sigh and his frustrated breathing because of the news that I told him. Nagtatalo ang utak at bibig ko kung sasabihin ko pa ba sa kaniya ang totoong nangyari o hindi na ba.

"Then? What's next?" He asked and I know that he calm down now but hearing his voice. Mukhang gising na gising na ang kaniyang diwa.

"I tell him everything and I'm thankful that he's not mad at me." Mahinang sambit ko.

"And then? What's this news that I heard that your in the hospital again?" I can hear the sarcasms on his voice.

Napanguso tuloy ako. Kahit kailan talaga may pagkapangit ang ugali ng pinsan kong ito. Minsan nga iniisip ko daig pa Niya ang babaeng may regla kung magsungit eh.

"I remember dad's last word before the accident came. I think my memories are back. Dad left some Clue's inside the old house. He want me to go there and find out what he meant by that. I also remember why Mr. Park are familiar that was the last word that I hear from someone before I feel unconscious."

"Are you serious? Chelsea? This is not a joke right? If tito left some evidence then, we can use that to find some clue and knows who's behind that accident. We can use that as bait to your dad's enemy." Kim voice are serious yet clueless.
