Moonlight and You

08

"Selene, what really happened?" She asked, pertaining to the scenario last night.

"Drix's ex girlfriend, she got into an accident. We were on the hospital then Fourth came, nagkasagutan sila ni Drix."

She eyed me, reading my expressions. "Hmm, and then?"

I sighed. "In the end, Fourth was the one who was left in the hospital."

"What's with the tone? Hmm, Ashaia. You never saw Fourth care for someone like that except you right? Ang tagal na, it's been 4 years, what should we expect right?"

I smiled and wiped my tears. Indeed, 4 years.

She kept asking things while we were preparing our breakfast. I just rolled my eyes when she said that I am "marupok" kaunti lang naman eh.

Aiyanna on the other hand– was looking for Drix, I just answered her "he is busy" neither me don't know where the heck that man is.

I took a day off today, to spend time with Aiyanna. I don't want her to feel like I'm forgetting her existence because of my work. I want her to feel love, despite our situation.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked her. The three of us were in the living room, watching netflix together.

She paused and started thinking, just looking at her made my heart warm. She's so cute. I combed her hair, and kissed her forehead.

"How about tita Kali, mommy!" She said and clapped her cute hands.

I chuckled and nodded. We continued watching netflix, I got bored and decided to check my phone.

I messaged Kalisha on Instagram asking where she is. I browsed a little bit while waiting for her response.

A photo caught my attention. It was a grave, with Railior's name. My lips parted as I realized it, Railior is what? h-he's dead!?

I checked its date, it was last month. Tanisha looked at me, confused by my reactions, I gestured to open her phone.

She sighed and typed a reply.

[ That's why I vanished last month, I didn't have the chance to inform you because you're too busy, I don't want to stress you out and Kalisha is now fine don't worry. ]

Napalabi ako, my Kalisha. I didn't have the chance to check on her, I'm such a bad friend. I drowned myself in working, I forgot to check on them. I wonder who's there to comfort her, is she even eating right, damn.

[ Where is she now? ] I messaged Tani again.

She rolled her eyes on me when I pointed her phone again, am I disturbing her from watching barbie? dang.

[ Laguna, probably. ]

I yawned and stared at the television, when I saw how Aiyanna's eyes twinkled, my boredom vanished. I hugged her; calming myself from my thoughts.

The show finally ended. I invited them to eat first, before taking a bath. "Mommy," Aiyanna called me.

"Yes love?" I softly uttered.

"Hindi po ba kasama si tito Drix? I miss him na po, hindi ko na po siya aawayin promise!" I just chuckled, Drix, what happened to you?

"Your tito is busy with himself baby, let's wait nalang muna siguro no? Hindi naman yon galit sayo." I explained.

Thank god she understands it. I helped her to take a bath, at first she was declining it but I still won. I'm still worried since she's still my baby.

Paano kung madulas siya habang naliligo? No, I don't want to risk her safety just to teach her how to be independent.
