Chapter 28

Alice's Pov

It's been months since that incidence happened. Risa is getting busier dahil sa papalapit na Ang election but she make sure she's keeping her eyes on me. Sa sobrang paranoid nila halos gusto na akong palibutan ng security.

Dong and Estrada has been sentenced to jail for a lifetime. Hindi tumigil Ang panig namin Hanggang Hindi Sila nakukulong.

Ate Shiela, Wesley, and Risa agreed to each other na Dito na Muna ako Kay Risa.

I'm alone here today sa Bahay ni Risa, she's busy Kasi, it's past 7 na rin Wala akong magawa so I decided to call Risa.

"Hello ga?" I said

"Hello love? Do you need anything? Bat napatawag ka? Are you okay?" Sunod sunod na Tanong nito kaya napatawa ako

"Ga masyado kang praning, napatawag lang ako" Sabi ko

"Of course mapaparanoid ako noh, and to answer you eto nag papahinga kami kakatapos lang ng final campaign" Sabi nito

"Anong oras ka uuwi ga?" Tanong ko

"Hindi ko pa alam ga baka mag dinner kami sa Bahay ni Sen Joel" Sabi nito

"Sen Joel?" Kumunot noo ka, Villanueva? Kapartner ni Risa sa mga hearing. I don't like that guy ginisa din ako nun eh

"Yeah? Is that okay with you ga?" Tanong nito

"U-uhm yeah, text me nalang kung Anong oras ka uuwi" I said pero deep inside gusto ko talagang pigilan SI Risa. Like yeah as if I have a choice

I don't like that man

"Great! Please Alice lock the door Bago ka matulog ha? May spare key ako Dito
So no need to worry" Sabi nito

"Sige ga, have a nice night" Sabi ko

After that we ended the call, I did what Risa said I locked all the doors Bago ako humilata sa kwarto

I watched my favorite movie dahil di pa Naman ako inaantok, then it's past 10 na pero I didn't recieve any call from Risa. Was she really that busy with her colleagues?

Nag paikot ikot ako sa higaan, because I can't sleep yet nag ooverthink ako kung ano na ginagawa ni Risa at Joel.

I opened my phone and checked my messages, then I called Loren.

"Hi Sen" Sabi ko

"Oh Alice!" Medyo maingay Ang linya nito

"Are you busy Po? Maingay eh" Sabi ko

Maya Maya pa ay tumahimik Ang linya

"I'm out of the house Alice, nasa Bahay kami ni Sen Joel. Maingay sa loob Kase nag iinuman kami eh treat Kasi ni Joel" Sabi nito

They're drinking? I thought it was a dinner lang.

"Nag inuman Po? Risa told me it was just a dinner" Sabi ko

"Oh shit!" Mura ng kabilang linya

"Sen okay lang Po kayo? What's happening?" Saad ko.

"Alice I think Sen Joel was getting touchy na with Risa" she said

My heart fumbled.

"Can you tell Risa to keep her distance from Joel?" Seryosong Saad ko

"PUTA! IMEE KUNIN MO SI RISA JAN!" sigaw ni Loren

Ang lutong ng mura

"Sen what's happening?" Tanong ko

"Sen Joel freaking kiss Risa"" sa Sabi nito my heart sank. Bigla akong pinagpawisan ng malamig, did she really do that?
