CHAPTER 52 - LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST

MAX'S POV

"Dad, I have to go." I said to my dad. We had a great bond last night. The reason why he called me out because he heard about the girl I've been pursuing.

Whenever I remember what he said, it makes me smile out of the blue.

[Max, I want you go home. RIGHT NOW.]

"Why?" I asked him, kind of irritated. I was talking to Chaiira a while ago just before he calls.

[JUST GO HERE. OR ELSE--]

"Okay okay! I got it. I'll be there in 10 min." With that, I hung up.

I bid bye to Tita Charlotte, Clarisse and Chaiira who was still sleeping. (COMA)

I rode the elevator From 4th floor down to the Basement Parking.

I saw my Porsche, waiting for me to use "him". How I missed him! I laughed at the thought.

Anyway, I continued walking towards my car.

I got inside my car quickly, inserted the key and started the engine.

I heard the engine go wild. I missed the sound of my car! I thought. And there, I went to our house.

When I arrived, I went straight to my Father's office. I knocked on the door first and went in.

I saw a man, standing erect. Facing his back to me. Looking at the beautiful garden in our so-called-"backyard".

"What is it?" I started. It was so quiet and I couldn't take it, so I just asked him.

"Sit." He's a one-word man. And, he also loves to work. He's workaholic.

I sat on the seat. "I heard that you were pursuing someone. Is it true?" I was galvanized at first, but I got to answer, anyway.

"Yeah." I couldn't talk that much when I'm in front of my father. Even though, his back is facing me, his presence is giving me the chills.

"Chaiira Pendleton, if I'm not mistaken?"

"Yes."

"So when is the date of your marriage?" Finally, he turned around. His back is not facing me anymore.

I got my eyebrow up. 'Marriage?' "She's in a coma. I can't ask her to be my girlfriend yet."

I heard my phone rung. I excused myself from father and answered the phone.

When I got back, I was smiling sheepishly."Chaiira's awake! CHAIIRA'S AWAKE, DAD! SHE'S AWAKE!" Because of so much happiness, I ran to him and hugged him out of the blue.

"Well then, let's start planning about you asking her to be your girlfriend." I smiled at my dad. YES!

My dad supports me and he's going to help me in pursuing Chaiira. YES!

I heard the cars honking on me. Fvck! I forgot, I'm on the road. I'm on my way to the hospital where Chaiira's confined.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Unti-unting dumating ang mga malalapit na kaibigan ni Chaiira.

Nagsimula kay Ice. "Chaiira! Naks! Gising na siya! Na-miss kita!" Inilapit ni Ice ang ulo sa tenga Chaiira. "May regalo kami sayo. Shh ka lang." Bulong niya kay Chaiira. Hindi maintindihan ni Clarisse ang itsura ni Chaiira. Mukha siyang kinikilig na ewan.

"Huh? Ba't ang weird ni Chaii? Baka naman naninibago lang." Isip ni Clarisse.

Sumunod si Ethan. "Yo! Namiss ka namin, Chaii." Pagkatapos ay ginulo niya ang buhok ni Chaiira at binigyan ng halik sa cheeks si Chaiira.

Ang lahat at nagulat, kahit si Chaiira. "Oh? Ba't ang sama ng mga tingin niyo sakin? Hoy! Wala akong gusto kay Chaiira 'no. Kapatid turing ko diyan!" Sigaw na pagpapaliwanag niya.

"Oh, ba't ka galit?" Singit ni Clarisse.

"Hindi ako galit. Nage-explain lang." Mahinahon niyang sabi. Adik talaga 'to si Ethan.

Tumawa ang lahat sa nangyari. Sumunod naman si Dylan. "Hey, Ms. Pendleton! Good thing you're awake. Makakahabol ka pa sa kasal namin ni Sydney. Ninang ka ah?" Sabay kinindatan niya si Chaiira.

Nginitian siya ni Chaiira bilang respond.

"Hoy, grabe! Tas ako hindi?!" Sigaw ni Clarisse. Hahahaha. Inis-kuno.

"Uy, wag na, Ate. Dagdag bayad pa!" Hirit ni Chaiira. Sa wakas, sumagot na rin siya.

Biglang may yumakap kay Chaiira. "Ate Chaii!! Akala ko mawawala ka na! Pinakaba mo ako, alam mo ba yun? Araw-araw ako nagdadasal na sana mabuhay ka pa." Napayakap pabalik si Chaiira.

"Sydney..." Nakangiting sambit ni Chaiira.

Sumunod naman si River. "Hey, you feelin' good?" Tanong niya kay Chaiira. Ngiting tumango si Chaiira.
"Sorry about my childhood friend, Renesmee. I hope you forgive her." Tuloy niya. Nginitian lang siya ni Chaiira.

"Wala na bang susunod?" Tanong no Charlotte. Lumingon-lingon siya. "Hindi na ba tutuloy si Max?" Taming ni Charlotte sa anak na si Clarisse.

"Hintay lang, Ma." Sabi sa isip nin Clarisse. Nginitian lang ni Clarisse si Charlotte bilang tugon.

Darating pa ba si Max?
