The Sinister's Web

Chapter 14

"We just found out something!"

Hindi ko maiwasang magtaka anong nakita nina Melize. For sure it's related to our mission. Ang aga aga eh!

I sighed.

Hindi na ako nag reply at pabagsak na bumalik sa pagkakahiga. There are times that I don't feel like talking to someone or doing something. Iyon ang nararamdaman ko ngayon kaya umidlip na ako at nagkumot ulit.

Ilang sandali pa'y binuksan ko ulit ang cp ko dahil nakipag group video call si Melize sa amin. I didn't turned on my cam, nagpatuloy parin ako sa pag idlip ngunit rinig na rinig ko boses ni Clark at ni Melize.

"Melize may pick up line ulit ako para sa'yo," si Clark.

"Sige sa'yo na, okay lang ako," sagot ni Melize.

"Dali na kasi!"

"Clark, hindi ako tumawag para sa corny mong pick up lines!"

"Uy, antahimik ni Ivan ah? Siguro may nakita 'to," asar ni Clark.

Nataranta akong bumangon nang may narinig akong kumatok sa pintuan ko.

For sure si tita.

"Bye guys!

I turned off my phone.

I stirred from my sleep as the morning sun softly peaked through the curtains, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness for the day ahead. Because of how overwhelming the previous days' events had been, I realized there was still a lot to uncover.

"Red?" Tawag niya at kumatok ulit.

I let out a deep sigh before opening the door. "Yes tita?"

I can't help but gulp seeing her in front of me. Her long hair is cascading gracefully over her shoulders. Her caramel-toned skin seemed to glow in the morning light. Bihis na bihis siya at mukhang may importanteng lakad.

"I prepared the breakfast, Let's go downstairs," she said, gesturing me to go with her.

She's been look this strict. Nakaka intimidate ang kanyang ganda.

Umupo ako sa upuan kaharap si tita Natalie. My eyes eventually darted on the food on the table. This is the first time na nagluto si tita, usually kasi nag oorder lang siya ng food outside. It just so shocking.

"I just heard about the class suspension because of the lurking mysterious kidnappers," tita Natalie started as she sliced the sausage.

I bit my lower lip waiting for her to reprimand me. Of course it's expected, I just got home late last night but she didn't even asked about it kaya mag eexpect akong ngayon niya ako gigisahin.

"Where have you been last night?" She asked.

Sabi ko na nga ba eh!

I gulped. "I was with my friends po, we just had a little talk about our project."

I hate it but, argh! It's the only thing I know!

Tumaas ang isa niyang kilay. "Project..."

Ugh! That thrill in her words!

"Yes po," buong buo kong sagot dahil ayaw kong matrace niya sa boses ko na hindi ako nagsasabi ng totoo.

Hindi na siya umimik kaya kumain na lang ako. Hindi ko alam bakit ganito na lang 'yung takot ko kapag kaharap ko si tita. Nanlalamig ako at kinakabahan. Siguro dahil pressured na ako sa pinapagawa sa akin ni tita.

Ayoko ring isipin niyang hindi ako umuusad sa mission ko dahil paniguradong magagalit siya. My surrounding is very dangerous right now, ni hindi ko alam kung paglabas ko ng bahay ay makasalubong ko ang mga kidnappers.
