Echoes Of The Broken Heart

Wakas

Chase's POV

"Chase, you're in charge of your sister, okay? While you're there, you’ll be the one to--"

"Mom, I know what I'm doing, so stop worrying about Anna, okay?" Pigil ko kay Mom habang nasa loob ng sasakyan pauwi sa mansyon.

After so many months, I was finally getting a break. I was so damn tired! I needed a goddamn sleep! Just one long nap and I'd be fine.

"Alright, I trust you. Are you heading home?"

I sighed again, tiredly resting my head against the seat. "Yeah, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Anna. She's not a troublemaker." I rubbed my temple briefly before looking out the car window. "I'll hang up now, Mom. We're almost at the mansion. Bye. Take care."

"Okay, dear. Rest while you're in the Philippines. I love you. Please say hi to my youngest."

I smiled slightly. "Love you too, Mom. Bye."

I quickly hid my phone after ending the call. My driver was currently taking me home to the mansion. I didn’t have the strength to drive anymore, and I might end up having an early death if I insisted on driving myself.

"Thanks." I said briefly to the driver before getting out of the car. I hurried inside the mansion, which, as usual, was quiet and seemed empty.

"Sir Chase! Mabuti naman at nakarating ka na!" Manang Berta greeted me happily, so I gave her a brief smile.

I looked around briefly. "Where’s Anna? I need to see her."

"Ah, nasa kuwarto po niya Sir Chase kasama ang kaibigan niyang babae. Kararating niya lang din po galing sa mall, namili yata sila ng mga damit." She answered with a smile, so I nodded and smiled back.

Siguro ay mamaya ko na lang siya kukumustahin pagkaalis ng bisita niya.

I briefly patted Manang Berta on the shoulder. "Alright, Manang. Thanks for the info."

"You're welcome, Sir!"

Manang Berta suggested I eat first, which was probably a good idea to help me sleep better. I was also hungry, so I had dinner.

After finishing, I left the plate on the table and quietly went back to my room. I quickly lay down without even changing clothes due to exhaustion and sleepiness.

"WHAAAAAAAA!!"

I woke up quickly from the screaming coming from Anna's room! It wasn’t a scared shout, it sounded like they were squealing with excitement!

"Aish.." I grumbled in frustration before burying my head in the pillow, but I could still hear Anna and her friend screaming!

I can't believe this! Anna isn’t usually like this! I really need to talk to her friend. I need to warn her not to influence my sister into doing nonsense!

With my eyes wide open, I listened to their repetitive screams followed by laughter. I just shook my head and slumped my shoulders as I got out of bed. I headed straight to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

Pagkalabas ko sa cr nang matapos ay doon tuluyang nanahimik ang kabuuan ng bahay. Umupo ako sa dulo ng kama ko habang nagpupunas ng buhok.

Mukhang napagod na sila kakasigaw, makatulog na ulit ako nang maayos.

I was tired of lying down on the bed again, fortunately, I fell asleep quickly, but once again, I woke up in the middle of the night. I'm not used to the time here in the Philippines.
