The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 50 - Flight

Colet's POV:

It has been a week since I had awoken from a five-day nap. I furrowed my brow, puzzled as to why everyone around me was walking back and forth. Why are they all so worried?

“Uhm, guys. Can you please calm down? Medyo nahihilo ako sa mga ginagawa niyo.”

They appeared uneasy for some reason. Perhaps because this is the day Jhoanna and I must travel from the hospital to the airport, where her private plane is waiting.

Today is the day that Jhoanna and I are heading somewhere I have no idea where. It's not a summer vacation or anything, but rather a hiding situation.

There is still no evidence as to who shot me that night. They already have suspicions, but there is insufficient evidence.

They are still searching all of the CCTV cameras in the parking lot where the incident occurred, but no footage was uncovered during the incident. Therefore, they're searching the other security cameras to see if  anyone or anything is suspicious.

While the investigation is on going, me and Jhoanna need to hide to secure our safety. Parang bakasyon na rin while I'm still recovering.

While everyone else was worried, I sat calmly on the edge of my bed, watching them. After a few minutes, a guard entered the room to give us the go signal.

Papa: “Anak, hindi na kami sasama sa inyo ni Jhoanna sa airport. Mag-ingat kayo doon.” Reminding me as I spotted the tears he was holding back in his eyes.

Mama: “Anak, Cols. Tumawag ka agad kapag nakababa na kayo ng eroplano. Yung mga gamot mo, 'wag mong kakalimutang inumin. Huwag makulit doon ha.” She said while sobbing.

“Mamimiss ko po kayo, Ma, Pa.” I hugged them both and they did the same thing.

Sheena: “Ate Cols, ingat kayo ni ate Jho. Pagbalik mo dito, dapat may isang box kang chocolates para sa akin haaa.” She bid her goodbyes and hugged me, something she only does seldom. I could feel her crying on my shoulder, which she swiftly wiped away.

Then, I looked over to the side where I saw Jasmine sitting, silently crying as her shoulders shook. so I came to her and sat next to her.

“Hey Baby Jaja, Look at me.” She raised her head but didn't look at me. Her eyes are also red and puffy from crying.

A gave the little girl a tight hug and that's when she started crying loudly, and I couldn't stop myself and started crying.

“Don't cry na, Baby. Mama promise to return here with you and will never leave you again, okay?” I told her but she just kept on crying.

“Stop crying na, Bunso. I can't bring you there, you need to study here pa.” I tap her on the head while I sincerely utter the words.

Jasmine: “Ate Cols, please stay with me.” In between her sobbing, she begs. My heart breaks as I see her beg with a tear streaming down his cheek. It completely broke me.

“As much as I wanted to be with you here, but it's unsafe. Ate Colet needs to leave even if she doesn't want to, baby.” I softly said while cupping her cheeks and wiping of her tears away with my thumbs.

Jasmine: “I don't want to see you leave.” She pleaded while hugging my waist tight as if stopping me to go.

“I know, Baby. I know.”

Jasmine: “I'm gonna miss you, Ate. Call me evey day po.” Jhoanna came to us and engulfed me and Jasmine with her arms.

Jhoanna: “Babalik ang ate mo, Baby. Siguradong sigurado.” She assured the little girl.
