Before i fall

Chapter three

"I'll be going, so uh..thanks for tonight."

He just nodded and left, his room is just beside me.

I change my clothes and jump off the bed while looking at the ceiling. I still have so many problems but thanks to him I kinda feel better.

I was about to close my eyes when what I see earlier flashed into my mind.

Darkness and him.

I sit down and feel my chest. It's beating so fast again. I ran out to his room but I was about to knock when I hear him-them.

"No..no, no. I can't no."

"I am so sorry.."

For no reason tears in my eyes fall, I rub it and knocked-

"No! I just can't okay? not now! I just saw her..I can't lose her-"

I opened the door but to my surprise I saw nothing.

My chest grumble, I looked around but all I can see is the light from the window. Curtains are dancing with air and the moonlight is embracing the room.

"Where are you?"

I mumble.

I heard him, I heard them! It's exactly his voice I can't be wrong I heard him.
is this some kind of joke? It's not funny damn it!

I can't feel anything it's starting to cold. I rubbed my both hand and blow it. I went out with heavy chest.

"Nana.."

"Shhh..she's here. She's coming."

They hurriedly hide when Carlene noticed her presence.

"Where are you?"

She heard her mumble

He was about to step out when his nana get the chance to leave the room and call out her name.

"That was close." He said to his self

"Ija!"

Nang tumanaw sya sa binatana agad nya nakita ang gulat sa mukha ng dalaga matapos itong tawagin.

"Anong ginagawa mo dyan?"

Rinig nyang tanong galing sa matanda ngunit parang wala sa sariling tumungi ang mata nang dalaga sa kinatatayuan nya, halos habulin na sya ng kaba nang dumapo ang mata nang dalaga sa binatana.

"i..i think i saw something.."

agad kong napirmi ang hilaw na ngiti nya. hinawi nya ang likod ko at inakay papalabas ng kwarto. hindi sya nag salita hanggang sa maka labas kami at nag tungo sa kusina. umupo akong tulala at natauhan lang ng may nilapag syang gatas sa harap ko.

"siguro ay hindi ka makatulog, kung ano ano na ang nakikita mo."

gusto kong bumwelta sa sinabi nya pero hindi ko alam kung bakit pa. para sa ano pa? siguro ay guni guni ko lang talaga yun. oo guni guni lang.

"bakit gising kapa?"

tanong ko habang pinag lalaruan ang laman ng baso.

"ikaw? bat gising kapa ija? hindi ako makatulog ng maayos."

"gusto kong manigarilyo."

nagulat ako ng natapi nya ang maliit na pinggan na nasa harap nya. kitang kita ko kung panong nagulat din sya dahil nanlalaki ag mata nya at bahagyang lumunok habang pupulutin ang mga bubog.
