Chapter 28

"Kumain ka na, Elidé" Ani ni Rarity saka marahan na ipinatong ang bed table na nag-lalaman ng almusal ng kaniyang kaibigan, napabuntong hininga siya ng makita nanaman itong tulala, kumirot aang puso niya sa tuwing makikita ang kalagayan ng kaniyang kaibigan.

"I'm not hungry, Rarity" Bulong ni Elidé saka nag-talukbong ng kumot. "Halos hindi ka na kumakain, Elidé" hindi mapigilan na mainis si Rarity, lalo na alam niyang hindi ito nakakatulong sa kaniyang kalagayan, napabangon naman ang kaibigan na tila napilitan sa kaniyang tono.

"Kakalabas mo lang ng hospital, kailangan mo na ibalik ang lakas mo, manghihina ang katawan mo, and besides you need to fetch Elize back, she's managing your business with hers, and she's really stress right now, she looks like a witch, and your father isn't helping" Napalabi si Rarity, inaasahan na matatawa kahit paapano ang kaniyang kabigan.

She can't blame her; Rarity sighed and look at her friend. "Elidé" Mukhang natauhan ang kaniyang kaibigan ng marinig ang pag-taas ng kaniyang boses, napatingin sa kaniya ang dalaga.

"May problema ba?" Elidé asked and smiled. Rarity sighed and sat on the bed and caressed Elidé's back. Once again, comfort was the only thing she could offer. She was thankful when she could see Elidé felt the comfort in her, randam niya ang pag-gaan ng pakiramdam nito.

"You're zoning out again" Iiniksik ni Rarity ang kutsara ar tinidor sa kamay ng kaniyang kaibigan dahilan na magising ito sa katotohanan, Rarity can't help to feel great when Elidé starts to eat.

"You better eat, ako nag-luto niyan surely masarap yan! Restorantí won't get two Michelin stars for nothing," Rarity said as she bragged about her restaurant has two Michelin stars. It means her restaurant has excellent cooking. And Elidé won't fight for that.

Rarity stayed silent as she watched Elidé eat her meal silently and seemed to enjoy her meal. She is happy that she is eating much more than yesterday.

"Where is Elize?" Elidé asked as she enjoyed her meal. Rarity rolled her eyes and took the bread from her table.

"As I said, work, she's working her ass off, she manages your condominiums, she's pretty hot-headed these days, maybe stressed" She sighed.

"She's managing many businesses, so maybe that's why, you know, their family, business is their middle name. Elize manages your condos, bar, winery, and other business, such as investments and assets. Right now, as I heard, she is planning to make a construction about widening her grape farm" Elidé looked at her with the quilt in her eyes.

Like Elidé, they're both worried about Elize's welfare, and she handled everything to the point she is restless.

Rarity sighed about Elize. She has been hard to talk about these past few days. She always goes late, and what bothers her is that she seems off these days. She always caught Elize looking at her as if something had come up. She always looks worried and stressed.

And she is not the only one feeling that. She is also stressed from work and carrying a pang of guilt in her chest, plus another term of an issue in their mining company. They have lost half of their diamonds and don't know why. They just suddenly off from shipment, and the packages of diamonds now can't be tracked.

Plus, it had been days without a call from Erosian, so she tried to call him first and text him, yet nothing, nor a simple text. His number is consistently unable to be reached and also tightens her chest.

"Elidé, I don't know what it feels like to lose a child," Rarity opened. She wanted to at least sway with her with words. Nais niyang maka-usap ang kaibigan upang.
