CHAPTER 6.
Jessie.
She is Arzen Montero, mother of Ronnie. She's really pretty; she looks like a living doll. If you don't know her, you'll thought that she's just in late 20's but the truth is she's already in 40's.She's aging gracefully. She's always like this, very kind, warm and accommodating.

While we are walking inside their mansion. Para akong bata na unang beses nakasama sa isang fieldtrip. It's good to see it again, the view was really fascinating. I sat on their expensive and elegant sala set, Shaira was beside me. They have a high ceiling and at the center of it there's a hanging stunning chandelier. Shaira appreciated it as well.
-
Tita Arzen came back with their maid. They brought us a freshly squeezed juice and a slice of chiffon chocolate cake.Tita Arzen sat in front of us.
"Taste the cake." She stated while she was smiling.
We tasted it.
"How was it?" she asked.
"It was heaven; this is the best cake I ever ate. It's very fluffy, the sweetness, the texture, it was perfect. I felt like I'm sitting on a cloud 9, it melts in my mouth and gave so much pleasure on my taste buds." I said like a child.
"That's an overflowing compliment. Thank you, I personally baked that." She humbly stated.
"Really tita? You made it like a pro." I said.
Tita nodded while Shaira was still enjoying her cake.
"By the way, are you staying here for good? Last time I check, you migrated in Canada." She asked in a soft voice.
"Yes Tita, Dad decided to continue my study here; you know it's more practical." I answered.
"I see. Your Dad is really good in stuffs like that. Paki kamusta mo na lang ako Ija.."
"Anyway, what brings you here?" she added.
"Ahh... Ehhh.." I stuttered.
"She wanted to check if Ronnie is okay because she was insanely worried of his absence." Shaira speedily stated.
I looked at her with murder.Tita Arzen chuckles and felt like I'm blushing again.
"It's okay Ija. I'm glad you were schoolmates, at least may mababantayan mo siya.Can you do that for me Ija?" Tita pouted.
"po?" I asked again though I clearly heard it.
"He's having an anxiety attack, that's why he ditched his class today I have to rush him in the hospital." Tita explained.
"Why, what happened to him?" I asked with a worried voice.
"Something terrible happened to him. He's broken and I don't think I have the right to spill it to you. I'm sorry Ija.But please do me a favor, pakibantayan mo siya."
"Don't worry tita, I'm more than happy to help." I said.
Tita Arzen held my hand and thank me with full of sincerity in her eyes.
"Tita mauna na po kami.Thank you po ulit."| shaira said.
"No problem. Welcome kayo lagi dito. Take care." She kissed us in cheeks.
So sweet of her.
-
I'm about to sleep when I remember what Tita said earlier, that anxiety attack. I have no idea what the hell was that. Alam kong hindi rin ako makakatulog kakaisip kung ano yun kaya I turned on my laptop and searched what anxiety attack is.
I learned that anxiety attack is also known as panic attack this is a short period of strong fear that happens for no reason. You may have them due to a stressful event or something in the past happened that hurt you so bad.
I remember what Shaira said, Ronnie's latest break up. Maybe that's the reason why, if that so he's really madly crazily in love with that girl.Maybe he did everything to her, invested too much emotions and end up hurting. Maybe the girl left him. I don't know, I'm just saying possible facts but I don't know the real story. But one thing is for sure, he really loved that woman because if not he'll not have this condition.
Because it was intriguing, I tried to call Shaira maybe she knew something but she's not answering.
I looked at the time and its late maybe she's already sleeping.
I'll ask her tomorrow I'm sure she got something to say but for now I'm gonna go sleeping, it was a long day indeed.
