The Last Light of Firefly

CHAPTER 40

HAPON na kami nakarating sa mansion, agad din akong nagpaalam na may pupuntahan dahil pupuntahan ko ang girlfriend ni Lesther.

I did check his background noong nasa mansion ako, I've researched everything I can.

Well, yes. He's a popular artist back when mondreel hadn't put him in jail. Hanggang ngayon ay bali-balita ang bigla niyang pagkawala.

Sa ngayon, may nali-link kay Cassandra Dior-girlfriend ni Lesther. They're always together sa mga nakikita kong mga viral videos ngunit hindi ko mawari kung tunay bang may relasyon na sila o wala. Ganon naman sa showbiz, right? Not everything they said and released are true. That's the reality.

And now, I'm driving. I'm on my way to the Roose Company to know the truth. I'm gonna ask Cassandra Dior myself.

Dumiretso ako sa parking lot at agad na ipinark ang kotse. Pumunta ako sa entrance ng company and for pete's sake! It's so huge! Napaka laki at taas ng kumpanya!

Akmang papasok pa lang ako nang harangin ako ng guard. "Sino po sila, miss? May I'd po ba kayo?" He have this terrifying aura.

"Lesther Sedeer made me come here to talk to his girlfriend, Cassandra Dior." Pagpapaliwanag ko sa balbas-saradong guwardiya.

"May proof po ba, consent letter o kahit anong ibinigay si Sir. Sedeer? Hindi po kasi kami pwedeng magpapasok dito ng mga hindi kabilang sa Roose company." Paliwanag ng guard.

"Pero ang sabi po kasi ni Lesther sabihin ko lang ang pangalan niy-"

He cut my words, "Ma'am, gaya po ng sabi ko, hindi po pwede. Bumalik na lang po kayo sa ibang araw. Matagal na rin pong walang paramdam si Sir. Sedeer kaya hindi ka talaga namin mapapapasok."

Just like that, wala akong ibang nagawa kundi ang bagsak-balikat na tumalikod. As if I have a fvcking choice!

Nagmamasid-masid ako sa paligid para humanap ng taong makukuhanan ng I'd. I have to pretend to be someone else....

Hindi pa katagalan ay nariyan at nasilayan ko na sa hindi kalayuan si Cassandra Dior. She's wearing a hat to somehow hide herself, pero hindi siya nakaligtas sa akin.

Nagmamadali siyang lumalakad nang pigilan ko siya at hilahin patungo sa isang gilid.

"WHAT THE-" Pinutol ko ang sasabihin niya nang takpan ko ang bibig niya. Nagpumiglas siya noong una pero wala na rin siyang nagawa dahil kumpara sa kaniya, mas malakas ako.

May sinasabi siya ngunit hindi ko maintindihan dahil sa pagkakatakip ng kamay ko sa bibig niya.

"You don't have to worry, I won't hurt you." I tried to calm her down. Nang tumigil siya sa pagpumiglas ay binitawan ko na siya. Nanatiling nanlilisik na nakapukol sa akin ang kaniyang mga mata.

"Who the hell are you and what the fvck is your problem?" May pagkalakas ang boses niya.

"It's just that, Lesther sent me here to tell you that he's still alive and will soon come back." Her eyebrows furrrowed as I continue to talk. "He wants to apologize for leaving you so sudden, but he promised he will come back. He's begging you to wait for him."

She take a deep breath. "Where is he?" I don't know what she feels, her face is pale and blank.

"I can't tell. And all you have to do is trust him. He's literally begging. Could you please trust him? Trust us, he will come back." I plead.

"Tell him that no one will wait. He n-neglected me for many years, and he's expecting me to wait for him? Quit bluffing, I'm not dumb. You're his other girl, right?" I can feel the rage and sorrow through her voice.
