My Girl Is A Mafia: The Unsolved Past

Chapter 12: Same Worry

~~~~~MIA's POV~~~~~

"Doko ni?" ----->(Where!)

"Soko" at tinuro niya sa akin ang direction. ----->(There!)

Hinahanap ko si Kara, alam ko kasing nag mumukmok nanaman iyon sa nangyare. I couldn't even blame her the day is not even yet over and things are already insane. I might be too tired dahil sa labanan kanina but like right now she needs to be comforted like a child and I can't believe I would be saying this but I have to do it. Nag aalala din si Jen sa kanya but hindi niya maiwan sina Rouge, I think she's not yet done interrogating them or she just plainly wants to see Rouge sooo badly. Hindi ko naman siya masisisi she might like have dated other guys after they both parted but I know Rouge is still the one she wanted to be with. And I also know that Kara is in the same position as she is. The difference is, that cousin of mine is as tough as a diamond she will not easily crumble down.

After a while of walking nahanap ko na ang person na hinahanap ko. She is there sitting and just curled up while looking at the sky. Lalapitan ko na sana siya but I heard her talking.

"Faith, kamusta ka na? Matagal ng panahon na nawala ka pero ang epekto ng pagkamatay mo ay hindi parin nagbabago. Dito" Nakita ko pang hinawakan nito ang kanyang dibdib. "ang sakit parin hanggang ngayon."

After she said those words ay katulad ng dati, nabalot nanaman ako ng kalungkutan. I mean Kara is right, even after all this years, the effect of Faith's death still lingers to us, andoon parin yung feeling na nalulungkot ka at nasasaktan ka. A feeling na alam kong mutual sa amin ni Kara.

I took a deep breath and called her attention by calling her name. "Kara"

Tumingin siya sa direction kung saan nanggaling ang boses na iyon at nakita naman niya ako. "Mia" surprised na tingin niya sa akin. "Kanina ka pa ba jan?"

We never talk about Faith in a private matter before kaya siguro natatakot siyang baka narinig ko ang sinambit niya kanina. "Just now." Pag sisinungaling ko. Kasi, even I felt awkward kapag pinag usapan namin si Faith ng masinsinan.

"Talaga?" naninigurado pa niyang tanong sa akin.

"Yes." Natatawa ko namang sagot sa kanya.

After she believed me binalik niya ang tingin niya sa langit then without words I also stared at the sky but all of a sudden ay nag pop up ang isang tanong na hindi ko ine-expect na tatanungin ni Kara sa akin. Given na ayaw niyang pag usapan at ayaw ko din naman pag usapan. "Kamusta na kaya si Faith?" Out of no where ay tinanong niya sa akin.

I looked at her with confusing eyes. "Why the sudden question?"

"Wala lang. Naisip ko lang" sagot niya sa akin. "You and I both know that we've been avoiding this topic for as long as we could. Ayaw mo parin bang pag usapan?" she confirmed my intuition na I'm not the only one who's dodging the topic tungkol kay Faith.

"I dont know" maiksi ko lang na sagot sa kanya. "We've been avoiding the topic that I dont even know where to start, if ever we start opening about it."

Napangiti naman siya sa sinabe ko. "Then, why don't we start about what I said earlier."

I looked at her. "What is it?"

Napatawa nalang siya ng maiksing tawa. "Ano ka ba naman. My instinct is still the best at it's peak. Sa tingin mo di kita naramdamang lumapit kanina."

I frowned at her. Alam naman pala niyang nasa likuran niya ako kanina and yet she still asked me. She made me lied for nothing. "Then why did you even asked me?"

"Because I'm afraid you distance yourself if I asked about it and then you're not yet ready to discuss."

"What made you asked then kung alam mo naman na baka mag hesitate ako?" I challenged her.
