CHASING THE MOON

CHAPTER 32

Astra

Today is my babylove's birthday and I'm on my way to their house to fetch her for our lunch birthday celebration together with her friends and my cousin.

Since the time I left my condo, I can't help but to feel nervous and I don't know why. Serenity didn't answer my phone text earlier. Our conversation was yesterday evening.
I am well aware that her parents forbids her to come near me. I am not stupid to not noticed it, the sudden bodyguard and driver was waiter for her at the parking area after her class.

I'm already inside the subdivision where she lives and on my way to their house. Minutes later, I park my car in front of their huge gate. I notice that it's kinda peaceful, like to one lives there. A guard is coming on my car and I immediately lower my window.

" yes ma'am, may kailangan po kayo ?" he asked and I nodded before I speak.

" ahm...manong is serenity there inside the house?" I ask respectively to him. I saw him furrowed his eye brow before answering me.

" ah si ma'am Artemis po." I nodded at him then,

" nako ma'am umalis na pop sila eh." he said making me confused to it.

" kalian? saan daw po? " I asked again getting nervous this time.

" kagabe lang po papuntang ibang bansa ma'am, hindi ko alam kung saan po. Atsaka binibenta napo tung bahay nila
" he said that makes me stunned and speechless.

My world just stops after hearing it, I cannot process everything. Manong noticed that I've been spacing out for almost five minutes, so he tap my shoulder that made me back to my senses.

" ma'am okay lang po kayo?" he asked.

" ahm..y-yes. Ano daw pong rason bakit sila umalis?" I asked almost stummer.

" nako hindi ko po alam ma'am eh, pasensya napo." he said then I just nodded after. I immediately say thank you and maneuver my car, but 2 blocks away I stop my car to think.

I rested my head on the top og steering wheel ang close my eyes. I cried hard asking to why she, left me, she left without saying anything about it. I feel lost all of a sudden, thinking that the only person I love this much left me again.

" FUCK!" I shouted while banging the steering wheel. I can't believe that she left me for the second time again.

" what the fuck did I do for you to fucking leave me?" I shouted, tears falling from my eyes.

I cried out myself for almost an hour inside my car until my phone ring, I immediately get it thinking that it's serenity. My shoulder drops as I saw whose the caller, it's Maggie.

" y-yes. " I answered, trying my best not to sobb.

" hey, did to fetch Artemis already and also where are you na?" she asked but I can't answer her.

" hey, ast?" Maggie asked again and this time I answered her.

" mags..." after saying it I breakdown to her through phone call.

" are you okay? Where are you? " she asked and I tell her exactly where I am and ended the call.

I cried again thinking about serenity, mybabylove. I reach my phone again and dial her number, it rings multiple times and immediately cut off. I texted her and call again but it's the same result.

I rested my head on the chair, exhausted from texting and calling her for the nth time. What did I do? Did I messed up? Did I hurt her? Questions like that keeps running on my head, constantly asking myself. I felt my phone vibrated and immediately to it, but after reading reading the message I just felt numb.

BABYLOVE🌙

Let's break up.

That three words made my world collapse. I unconsciously drop my phone after reading it. She left me and now...she broke up with me.

" no no no...this can't be happening." I said then attempt to call her but my number is block already.

She broke up with me and ended everything fast.

She left me and hurt me on the day of her birthday...again...

-

" don't call me back unless you have a good news to say! " I yelled at the other person on the phone then drop it. It's been months and until now I still couldn't find her. Her parents hid her well from me huh. I knew since the beginning that her parents won't like our relationship and I am hundred percent sure that was the reason why serenity broke up and leave me hanging.

I was devastated for months of missing serenity, I've been finding her every country that I can think of. They hid serenity well to the point that my private investigator is still doing his best to find to her.

I decided to take a break from teaching and focus on my company and serenity first. Maggie take over my position temporarily because she knows that I can't focus on that career.

A knock made me back to my senses. The door open and it's revealed my secretary.

" ma'am nandito po si ma'am Maggie at may kasama po sya." my secretary said and signal her to make them in. After a sec, Maggie, Miss fernandez, and Miss Lim entered and it's seems like they came here after their class.

" what are you guys doing here?" I ask coldly while staring at them.

My cousin sighs while the two just hide at her back, afraid by the tone of my voice. I gestures them to sit on the couch cause I already know what they've been doing here.

" M-miss A we would like to ask about serenity po?" Miss fernandez asked the same question for months and I just took a deep breath before answering.

" still the same fernandez. I still couldn't find her." I coldly answered her making her lower her head and Maggie rub her back comforting her.

" I already asked for my dad's help for finding frenny, but until now the result is still same , they couldn't find her. " miss lim said looking at me with worry on her eyes visible.

I totally understand what they felt cause serenity is their bestfriend. What they're feeling right now is valid and I am thankful that my babylove has this two, worrying for her. The four of us talk on how to find serenity until it's night already.

" I'll just update you guys if I have a news towards serenity. You can go now." I said to them. They left after and that made feel lonely again. I was just wondering and thinking if where serenity is right now. If she's okay and not suffering.

I pick up my phone and tap the gallery, looking at her photos making me missed her more. I continue looking at our pictures to the point that I didn't noticed that I was crying.

" Happy Monthsary Babylove, I missed you and I love you so much." I mumbled looking at our pictures. I stayed in my office for more hour before I decided to go home.

I will find you baby, even if by hook or crook.
