"Kailan ba ulit dadalaw si kuya Ged?" Hajj asked. Andito kami ngayon sa kwarto ko nakatambay ni Hajj. It's been 5 days na kasi mula nang huli ko siyang makita. After our gala, bigla nalang siyang walang paramdam. He wasn't answering my chats at hindi na rin 'to dumadalaw. I tried to go to their house pero lagi siyang wala. His little sister Genalyn even thought na magkasama raw kami.

"Maybe he's busy with something." I guessed.

"But ate, we both know na kuya Ged wants to make up the stolen times. Ang tagal mong asa Canada and gusto niya makabawi. It's been 2 weeks, if busy siya then he would tell you pronto."

Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi nang bata. Ang daming probabilities reasons na tumatakbo sa isip ko pero none of them are valid until manggaling ito mismo kay Ged.

"Let's not jump to conclusions."

"Sabagay, statistics are better than probabilities." After that, Hajj went out of my room. I checked the time and it was already 3:26 pm, it's almost time for his french lessons.

I instructed the maids to open the gates once his tutor arrives. I also helped them to prepare food para sa miryenda nila ni Hajj. I wanted to make sure my brother gets to eat fine and well made food lalo pa't pinag day off ko muna si Luxien, our family butler. Pag alis ko kasi, siya na uli ang mag lu-look after kay Hajj.

After doing everything that is need to be done, I decided to get somte rest muna. I went inside my room and took a quick shower.

6:00 pm came and I decided to chat Gedrick once again.

Hanika: hey, do u have plans bukas?

I was about to turn off my phone nang may mapansin akong kakaibang notification. It was a message from the app called After Death.

For some reason, I remembered what happened sa 7/11 not long ago. There was this guy named Sk who was talking about this weird game kung saan player din ang kaibigan ko. Then it came to me. Maybe this is somewhat connected to Ged's sudden actions.

Is this what they were talking about? I opened the app and saw my full name listed on it. I don't remember entering my name though. I explored further and figured out where the inbox is.

INBOX

1 message from Secreto.

My brows furrowed. I opened the message to see what it was for.

Secreto: good evening miss chips.

Hanika: sk?

Secreto: yup. wanna meet up?

Hanika: no thanks.

Secreto: I'll give you informations about the game. Meet me at the covered court near Café Qioz. 8pm sharp.

Napakunot noo ako ng dahil sa nabasa. Should I go? What if it's a trap?

I also noticed that I also received a message from After Death itself.
