The night has come and the older woman had to endure sleeping on the small sofa on sheena's small living room.
Hindi sa hindi siya sanay sa mga ganitong higaan dahil noong nasa army pa siya, nakakatulog naman kahit may mga putok pa ng baril sa paligid.
Pero this time, masyado kasing maliit ang sofa kaya hindi siya comfortable.
Hindi nakatiis, lumipat siya sa sahig with pillows and her comforter.
On the other hand, sheena just woke up dahil naiinom kaya kahit inaantok pa ay pumunta siyang kusina para uminom just to see the older woman on the floor sleeping with her hands claps naparabang patay.
"Kakaiba talaga siya" Sheena whisper to her self.
Aalis na sana siya ng mapansing hindi nakukumutan ang likod nito Kaya dahan dahan siyang lumapit sa babae inayos ang kumot.
"Hmm, since hindi mo alam kung sino ka. I'll Call you. Gray, kasi gusto ko" saad niya at umalis.
Sheena POV.
" Gusto mo ba ito? O ito? Dalawa nalang , parehas na masarap yan. Tikman mo dali!" Saad ni inay at linigyan ang plato ni Gay ng kung ano anong pagkaing linuto niya para kay Gay. Ang extra ni mama simula noong sinabi kong dito muna saamin si Gray.
Grabe, ang daming linuto ni mama everyday, parang may fiesta. Dinaig pa noong birthday ko tsk.
"Ang Dami po nito" Nahihiya niyang saad, may hiya pala tong mokong na to kakainiz. Ilang araw palang siya dito pero parang mas anak na siya kesa sa akin.
"Kumain kalng ng kumain ha, titigan ko lang ang linuluto kong binangkal, meryenda natin mamaya!"
Tinitigan ko siya ng matalim.
"Bakit ang sama ng tingin mo?" Tanong niya sakin at linagyan ng tubig ang isang baso tyka linagay sa side ko.
"Pake mo. Kumain ka nangalang d'yan para mag kalaman ka naman" saad ko at inirapan siya. Kahit inaasar ko siyang mapayat, can't deny na malakas pala talaga siya.
Kahapon anong oras palang nag sisibak na siya ng kahoy sa labas, at nag luluto na ng kanin.
Siya ang dahilan kung bakit yung kahoy na pang luto namin parang aabot na ng ilang taon sa dami.
"Pag katapos mong kumain, mag igib ka ng tubig tapos yung mga gulay at prutas na ilalako natin, ilagay mo sa Bisekleta" saad ko, Frist time ko siyang isasama ngayon sa palengke isa siguro kung bakit ang daming linuto ni mama Para hindi magutom tong ampon niya, kainiz.
"Tapos na mahal na prinsesa, ikaw lang ang hinihintay kong magising." Saad niya at linagyan ng kanin ang plato ko. Hindi naman to sakop ng napagusapan namin ha? Bahala siya.
"Edi sorry, frist time mo dun mamaya, wag kung ano ano ituro mo at ipabili!" Natawa naman siya.
"Hindi ako bata no!" Saad niya.
Swerte ata tong babaeng to, wala pang isang oras kami dito sa bayan pero halos ubos ang paninda ko, naka upo lang si Gray malapit saakin pero andaming nakapila para bumili at halos lahat sila tinatanong kung ang pangalan niya, dapat siguro lagi ko nang idadala si Gray kasama ko para marami palagi ang bumili, well hindi ko sila masisisi, bukod kasi sa may itsura din kasi itong si Hindi ko kakilala pero Gray nalang soft spoken pa.
Sayang lang at wala si Ate Aiah ngayon, ipapakilala ko paman sana si Gray sa kanya. Dibale na, may next time pa naman.
THIRD PERSON.
" One week na siyang nawawala. Fuck. Baka ano ng nangyari sa kanya." Colet said at ginulo ang buhok niya.
They all look like shit and haven't sleep well since their captain is still no where to found at dahil na din sa nalagas sa kanila.
"Fuck her family too. Ang titigas ng bagang. They don't want to file a missing case." Saad ni jho.
While Mikha has been awfully quite since the older woman had disappeared.
Mikha POV.
One week, fucking one week since she disappeared.
Till now walang lead. Fuck.
I miss her badly..... I hope she's okay... I hope she's alive.
Gwen, where are you?
"Mikha Lim!" Someone yelled behind me
"I almost didn't catch you." She said again so I turn around, shocked. Si GWEN!
She smiled
"Gweneth Apuli, You're team Captain. Nice to meet you Mikha Janna Lim, my CO captain."
The reason why I'm here.
"So you're a coffee person?" She asked, I'm outside early dahil I'm a morning person and I didn't expect that she's a morning person too.
"Yeah, you want?" I asked
She smile
She is really beautiful everytime.
"Sure sure" she said and without any thing, she gently grab the coffee in my hand and had a taste.
"Too sweet, magkakadayabetis ka" saad niya at binalik saakin ang kape.
The reason why I don't put so much sweet in my coffee.
"Shhhh, calm down will you?" Saad niya at niyakap ako. I killed someone. I fucking killed someone.
"I killed someone Gwen and you're telling me to fucking calmdown?!" I yelled at pinag susuntok ang likod niya.
"Don't blame your self! They choose that path Mikha! Hindi mo kasalanan na sa dami ng daang tatahakin nila ito pang masama ang tinahak nila! Its not your fault.. calm down please? Please? Its not your fault hmm... you are just doing your job, were just doing our job. Shhh"
The reason why I'm still at this job.
"Condolences"
"I'm so fucking useless gwen."
"Don't say that, lahat tayo may halaga dito sa mundo."
"Its my fault kung bakit sila nawala gwen."
"You're blaming your self again Mikha Lim, it was an accident. Hindi mo hawak ang kotse nila dahilan para Disgrasya sila."
"Sila lang ang ako gwen, and now there gone... I should've rescued them "
"Hindi ka si batman Mikha. And I'm here. Always. Hinding hindi kiya iiwan."
She hugged me.
" Stop Crying, I'm sure your parents were not pleased to see you crying, blaming your self in everything na wala ka namang kasalanan."She's beside me everytime I'm at my darkest days.
She's literally the reason why I'm still here, alive.
But now, where is she?
She's no where to find.
My light is nowhere to find."Miks, you're crying" Jho said, agad agad ko namang pinunasan ang luha ko.
This is the first time they'd see me cry, hindi ko na mapigilan e. I'm so damm worried.
"Tahan na miks" then they hugged me. But nothing feels more safe other than her hugs.
That girl.
I hope she didn't end her self dahil ill follow her and kill her for the second damn time!
"Hahanapin natin siya. hindi tayo papagayag na iiwan nalang niya tayo ng basta basta"
"Hindi tayo titigil. D-dead or Alive. We need to find her" tinuktukan siya sa ulo ni colet ng mahina.
"Don't say that, Alive or alive. We need to see that dork. Walang mapapagod okay?!" The two of us nodded.
Hahanapin ko siya, kahit Saan man siya mapadpad. Wait for me my love. I'm coming to find you.
