Chapter 26

Risa's Pov

It's late in the evening and I've been trying to contact Alice pero Hindi niga sinasagot Ang phone call. I tried calling her through video call pero off line.

I'm here today sa Bahay nila Loren, cause it Loren's birthday. Pero Hindi ako mapakali sa kina uupuan ko

"Bading okay ka lang?" Saad ni Imee

"I'm good" I said

"You look tense, is something wrong Risa?" It was Leni

"I've been calling Alice since kanina pero Hindi Niya sinasagot." I said

"Ay dika nag paalam? Lagot ka" ngisi ni Sara

Binatukan ito ni Loren

"Bobo ka talaga kahit kailan, nag aalala na nga Yung tao eh" Saad nito

"Alam mo Lorna, pasalamat ka nalang birthday mo Kase kung Hindi kanina pa kita nasaksak ng ice pick" sambit nito

I shook my head

"Hindi ugali ni Alice Ang mag iwan ng cellphone, she always answer my calls kahit gabing Gabi na" I said

"Kelan ba kayo huling nag usap?" Tanong ni Pia

"Kaninang Umaga pa, she even told me na may campaign sa bayan nila eh" Sabi ko

"Baka busy pa sa restoration bading, masyado ka lang nag woworry" Sabi ni Leni

Umiling ako there's something wrong, I can feel it.

"No, Kase kung busy Yun she will tell me. Plus I've been thinking about those messages from an unknown number na keep on texting Alice, I'm scared baka kinuha na siya ng kung sino" I said

"Angas mo bading mag overthink eh, sa bala di ka takot pero Ang mawalan SI Alice takot ka" Saad ni Loren

"Of course I am scared of loosing Alice! She's my everything!" Bulalas ko

"Chill Risa, try calling her again" Saad ni  Pia

I tried to call her again pero Wala parin, the gals are waiting for Alice to answer lahat sila nakaabang.

"Something's off in here Risa" it was Imee

Maya Maya pa ay tumunog Ang cellphone ko, it was an unknown caller. I immediately answered it

"Hello?" I said

"Hello Sen" it was a female voice

Kumunot Ang noo ko, her voice sounds familiar. Nilakasan ko Ang speaker para marinig din nila Imee

"Who's this? Where did you get my number?" Saad ko

"Sen si Cassandra Ong Po ito" Saad nito

Cassy?

"Cassy? How did you get my number?" I said with formality

"Inutusan lang Po ako ni Wesley na tawagan ka, Sen wag Po kayong mabibigla ah" Saad nito

Bigla akong binalot ng kung Anong kana at Takot

" What are you trying to say Cassy, nasa Bamban ka ba? Where is Wesley and Alice?" I said

"Sen si Wesley nasa police station nakiki pag ugnayan na Po sa police. Alice has been missing Po since kaninang hapon, Ang last check Po Namin ay Yung call Niya saamin na pauwi na raw siya. As what Wesley said pinasok po Ang Bahay Kasi nakapag paligo pa raw SI Alice Kasi nandoon pa Yung damit sa banyo Niya eh" nanginginig na Sabi nito

Bigla akong nanghina sa narinig ko, halos mapatumba ako but Imee was there para alalayan ako.

"Oh god" bulong ni Loren
