Chapter 25

Risa's Pov

It's 7 in the evening pero ayoko nang bumaba, Alice won't bother to talk to me anyway. Itutulog ko nalang tong gutom ko.

After I cleaned my wound I hear 3 knocks on the door. I know it's Alice dahil kami lang Naman Ang tao Dito

"Come in" Sabi ko

The door opened and iniluwa noon Si Alice, she was carrying a tray of food

She smiled at me

"Good evening" Sabi nito

I answered her with a slight smile

"I bought the food here Kase alam kong ayaw mong bumaba" Sabi nito

I didn't speak

"Ga, sorry na" she said

Hindi parin ako nag salita

"Langga Naman eh, kausapin mo na ako!" Sabi nito at lumapit saakin

Hindi parin ako nag salita

"Isa Theresia, kakausapin mo ako o kakausapin mo ako?" Banta nito

There's that full name again

I took a deep breath

"Fine, what do you want to talk about?" Tanong ko

"About kanina" she pouted

Gosh this woman know how to get me talaga

"Oh?" Taas kilay ko

"Sorry for raising my voice kanina" Sabi nito

Hinarap ko ito

"Alice, Hindi Tayo mag kakaayos kung Hindi mo sasabihin saakin Ang buong istorya" Sabi ko

Nag salubong Ang Kilay nito

"Why are you calling me by my first name? Where is the endearment?" Sabi nito

"Who said it first?" Sabi ko

"Fine, here's my phone and go open the messages. Pero promise me first na Hindi ka nagagalit" Sabi nito

"May kabit ka?" Sabi ko

Umasim Ang mukha nito sa Tanong ko

"Gaga ka Wala syempre, just read it and wag kang mag over react"

She gave me her phone, and there I saw those messages. It was more than a promise rather than a threat.

It was from unknown number and was saying that he will take Alice away from me.

Tanga Naman netong sender

"This is what you've been hiding?" Tanong ko

Tumango ito

"Love when you recieve this kind of message sasabihin mo saakin okay? Hindi ako nagaalam nanganganib kana pala" Sabi ko

Niyakap ako nito

"Sorry na ga, ayoko lang Kasi dagdagan Ang problema mo" Sabi nito

I took a sigh

"Kahit na, it's my duty to protect you ayaw Kong may mangyaring masama sayo"  Sabi ko

"Sorry, promise i'll tell you next time na ga, bati na Tayo" she pouted

I rolled my eyes

"Oo na bati na, may choice ba ako?" I said

"Yey! Thank you ga, halika na mag dinner nalang tayo" Sabi nito kinuha Ang tray ng pagkain

It was buttered shrimp and mashed potato. Biglang nanubig bagang ko.
