Memories of the Wind (Passion Series #3)

Chapter 7

When the week ended, Aquisha and I were able to talk intensively. Time flies so fast, I can say that.

Nasa trabaho na si Jaxx ngayon at kasusundo lang ni Aki sa akin mula sa aking tirahan. Kasalukuyan na kaming nasa lobby dahil sinabi kong dito muna kami kasi may dapat kaming pag-uusapan nang masinsinan. Hindi niya sinasagot ang aking tawag noong nakaraan at palaging out of coverage siya.

"Explain to me, Aki," I commanded. "Pumayag ka bang palitan ang schedule ko? Bakit sinabi ni kuya na may shooting raw ako kasama si.. Shekainah?" My voice shaken when I uttered that name.

"Uhm, Zani, hindi ko rin alam, eh," Aki cleared out. "Kahit ako nga rin ay nagulat. As you can see, I rescheduled your final casting however the industry rescheduled it again and changed your shooting this week. I did not answer your calls kasi natatakot ako sa 'yo. I am afraid that you might scold me for not doing my job well. Zani, wala talaga akong alam tungkol dito, sana maintindihan mo 'ko."

"I understand..."

"Kung puwede lang sana gawan ito ng paraan, eh," she whimpered. "I think.. it's time for you to face Shekainah Alatraca, Zan. Hindi naman kasi habangbuhay ay talikuran mo siya, eh. Be matured enough, Zani, talk to her in an intensive way and let her explain. Zan, kahit ano man kasi ang gawin mo, hindi mo na maibabalik ang natapos na."

"It's not that easy for me, Aki, you know it."

Aki was the only person I told about this matter. Alam niya ang lahat ng tungkol sa amin ni Shekainah dahil kinuwento ko sa kaniya ang lahat-lahat. Labas siya tungkol dito pero wala lang talaga akong makausap, gusto ko lang talagang may mapagsabihan at siya ang naisip ko.

After our brief conversation, I went home. I decided to text Jaxxon if he can come home tonight because I was really bored. He replied immediately, telling me that he can't make it because he has a lot of something to do at the Sanitarium. I can't even invite Aki or call her to come over at my place because she told me earlier that she have to look after their company. Mahirap na nga ang buhay ko, ang boring pa!

Since I have nothing to do, I decided to take a rest, laying down on my bed and slept all time. Gumising ako na gabi na, tutal hindi naman makakauwi si Jaxx ngayong gabi, naisipan ko na lang na pasukin ang kaniyang silid para tingnan kung mayroon bang pagbabago roon ngunit kapapasok ko pa lang ay nalaglag na ang aking panga nang mabuksan ang ilaw.

The room looks simple and clean for me. Lahat ay kulay puti talaga.. ang kurtina, ang bedsheet, ang kumot, mga unan ni Jaxx, at iba pa. Naisipan kong umupo sa kaniyang kama, sobrang lambot niyon. Kama ko naman ito, kaso siya naman ang nagmamay-ari ng bedsheet at ng iba pa.

Malinis at napakapreskong tignan ng paligid, halatang alagang-alaga kay Jaxxon. Ni alikabok ay wala akong nakita o naapakan sa sahig, eh. I didn't wear my slippers and just walk barefooted. Hindi napapawi ang ngiti sa aking labi habang sinusuyod ng tingin ang paligid. The room is better than I expected. All of the things are placed well. Hindi ganoon kakitid at hindi rin ganoon kalawak ang espesyo pero masasabi ko talagang maayos ang pagkakalagay ng mga kagamitan.

My forehead creased when my eyes darted on the bedside table and saw a framed picture there. I reached for it and get it to take a look. Umawang ang aking bibig nang makita ko ang aking mukha sa larawan. This photo was captured years ago and it was so heart melting because Jaxxon really displayed my framed picture on his bedside table. I was beneath the Eiffel Tower on the picture and about my position; I was lifting my arms right up on the air above my head. This was from my Instagram for sure, I posted this photo there years ago.
