Chapter 30
It's been months.
Months without Erosian, and those two months seem like a lifeless year for Rarity. No matter the calls or texts, she receives nothing. It makes her heartbreak.
She always waits for him, always looking at her phone, hoping a notification will come from him, she even drives hours to reach his house, but no one is there. Even though Rarity can enter since she has the spare key, there is still no sign of him.
It makes her crazy.
Did Erosian ghost me or such? She even tries to find any news about him on the internet but none, not a single one that she can use for current days, so here she is now coming out from the elevator, the person who can answer her question.
She had sleepless days, wondering what had happened to him, but she couldn't find answers to her questions.
Looking at Elize's sacred heaven under the Apollo, she sees her friend mixing stuff with her lab coat and stuff, and when Elize sees her, she can see how shocked she is.
"Where is he?" Kaagad niyang tanong dahilan na matigilan si Elize sa kaniyang ginagawa, ngunit sa ilang segundo ay nanahimik ito. "Where is Erosian, Elize?" Napabuntong si Elize saka hinubad ang lab coat, "I don't know" Elize looked at her, directly at her eyes.
Looking at her eyes, Rarity can admit that she might fall on her tactics, she seems to tell the truth, yet Rarity has known her friend all those years. Rarity knows how she works, she is a good liar, but it won't work on her, "You're lying" Elize didn't react to her answer; instead, she sighed.
"I admit, I know" Umupo si Elize sa island counter saka tinignan ang alak na malapit sa kaniya saka walang anuman na tinungga ito, "Where is he then? Nasaan si Erosian!" Hindi na mapigilan ni Rarity ang kaniyang nararamdaman at tinignan si Elize.
"And I can't tell you that, let's say I am not the rights to tell you that" Napailing si Rarity habang nag-pipigil ng kaniyang luha, "Why! This is so unfair, Elize, nasaan si Erosian! Tell me where he is" Napapikit ang kaniyang kaibigan sa pag-taas ng kaniyang boses.
"I'm sorry, I can't" Elize looked away making Rarity's tears fell, "Is he okay?" She asked, she saw Elize sighed and shrugged her shoulders, "Not really" Napapikit si Rarity, "Will he, Will he come back?" Tila bumara ang kaniyang lalamunan.
"I'm not promising."
"Why can't you tell me where he is?" Elize sighed and looked at her. She jumped down the island counter and walked in front of her, "Let's say we live in a world where we carry a responsibility, and that made him live in return for others" Hindi maintindihan ni Rarity ang sinabi ng kaibigan. She's acting weird again.
"I can bring you to him, but it's not the right time to know the real him, the real us, and I hope when that happens, you can accept it. I will bet my soul to the underworld that he will bargain with the gods to be with you. He will give up everything just with you, so don't cry, Rarity, he will come back" Rarity looked at Elize.
"And if he doesn't?"
"I don't know," Elize saddened, and looked away.
"Don't worry, baliw na baliw sayo pinsan ko, he won't cheat" Elize chuckled and lifting the atmosphere, natigil lamang ito ng tumunog ang telepono, "What is it?" Elize answered.
"What?! Where- "Suddenly, Elize stopped and looked at her, "Rarity, sorry, an emergency came up" Napaiwas na lamang ng tingin si Rarity, "I'll be going."
Hindi na niya ito hinintay matapos, lumbas siya ng Apollo saka sumakay ng sasakyan niya pabalik sa condo, halos maluha siya habang lulan ng elevator, pag-pasok siya sa penthouse ay walang katao-tao, si Elize busy sa trabaho at ngayon may emergency, si Elidé naman ay kasama ang kaniyang ama.
