Xindie POV
"Done invading and scanning my office?."
I froze at what I am doing.Napalingon ako sa may ari ng boses na iyon and there was Woodsen.Staring at me blankly."Hey!Umm,kanina ka pa diyan?,"I asked.At pinagpatuloy ang paghahanap.
Rinig ko ang yapak niyang pumasok sa office."No.I just got home.I just got curious seeing my office's light is on,"he said.I took a glance of him.He seems so tired and exhausted from work.Untidy hair,unfixed polo and tie,deep black bags under his eyes.But none of this would lessen his Roman God-look face.
"And it seem you are busy scanning my office without again my permission,"nabalik ako sa katinuan sa kanya when he said that.I raise my brow on him."I have a reason.You are out of reach that is why I have no choice but to find answers,"I said with a bratty tone.Thats me.
He look at me curiously."What answers?,"he ask.I stop scanning to all his folders and look at him seriously."About that guy,"I said.His face become serious.He sat on the sofa and motion his hand to make seat too.
"What about him?,"he said.Maaaring maungkat ulit ang kanyang nakaraan pero gusto ko masagot ang mga tanong ko.Pero gustong umurong ng dila ko.I heave a deep sigh to calm myself.Maaaring hindi ko kayanin."I may cross the line but is that guy has something to do with the death of Samara?."
Silence field the office.My heart beats became fast.I came up with that question noong nakita kong nalungkot ang mga mata niya.I want to ask Jasper but I want Woodsen to tell me the answer personally.Kung talagang may kinalaman ang lalaking iyon sa pagkamatay ni Samara,I must stay really away from him.
Magsasalita na sana ako para huwag na niyang sagutin pero pinangunahan niya ako.Which make me shut up and froze.
"Yes.That guy murder Samara."
*****
Hindi ko na hinangad na magkwento si Woodsen tungkol doon.I just apologize from invading his office at pinagpahinga ko na siya.
Gusto ko pang magtanong but he's so tired and need some rest kaya pinigilan ko na ang sarili ko.May pakakataon pa.
Kung ganoon tama ako.I have to stay away from that guy.And I just save the Satan from a near death.Kung alam ko lang sana hindi na lang talagaako nakialam.But its too late.Matagal talagang mamatay ang masasamang damo.At nagkataong ako pa ang nagligtas sa kanya.What an ill-fate.
Kinaumagahan,bago pumasok si Woodsen nagpaalam akong may pupuntahan kasama si Xandro.Hindi na niya inabalang alamin kung saan pupunta at pumayag na lang.
"Take care and be safe,"he said at napatango ako."Ikaw rin.And take a rest for minute or two kung may pagkakataon.Dont overwork,"I said.I dont know where did I got those words but I just feel and want to tell him that.He smiles and nodded.He motion his companions and leave the mansion.
Ako naman kailangan na ring maghanda sa pupuntahan namin ni Xandro.Today is my parents death anniversary.Sixteen years have past when they leave us and the world.I miss them.So much.
Bago kami dumiretso sa sementeryo ay bumili muna kami ng bouquet of white flowers.Mom loves it and Dad caught Mom's heart because of this kind of flowers.Ang corny but sweet.
After few minutes ay nakarating kami sa puntod ng mga magulang namin.Xandro put the flowers beside their grave.Iisang lugar at lapida ang ginamit namin for them not to be apart.I gave my silents prayers and heave a sigh.
"I miss them,"I said.The wind kisses my skin.Like the kisses of my parents."Me too.The weather seems to cooperate with us.Like Mom and Dad is here,"he said.I smile.Xandro feels it too.Look how we are now Mom and Dad.
"Hey,Mom and Dad.Your princess is now married and guess what,she caught a very big fish,"he chuckle.Siniko ko naman siya."We're here to pray their souls not to make fun,Xandro.Sorry,Mom and Dad.Umayos ka nga,"sabi ko pero natawa lang siya.
"Dont be too serious,Sis.I already pray for them.Let me tell them a story about their princess for a while,"he said idiotly smiling.I roll my eyes on him."Whatever,"saad ko with annoyance.Nagpapaka-childish naman siya.
Nilibot ko ang mata ko sa kabuuan ng cemetery habang si Xandro ay talagang nagkwento.He already seating pretty on the grass.I ignore it and continue exploring my eyes on this peaceful place.
May napansina akong dumating na bagong sasakyan.Tumitig ako roon and the car looks familiar.I just confirm my speculation when the owner of that car came out.
Wearing an all black suit with black shades.His overall look will make all people turn his head on him.But his aura is yelling that you must keep away from him.Bakit ba laging sementeryo ang laging napipiling lugar kung saan kami magkikita?Is he here to make the cemetery good and peaceful?Nah,dont be a fool,Xindie.He is a devil.
Yup.The devil is here.Napako ang tingin ko sa kanya at hindi ki namalayang nakatingin na rin pala siya sa akin.His smirk make me want to roll my eyes again.Pangbungad niya talaga ang ngising yan.I grin and look away from him focusing on my storyteller brother.
But suddenly,I felt his devil aura approaching us at hindi nga ako nagkamali papunta nga siya dito.Nang makarating siya pwesto namin ay tinaasan ko lang siya kilay which makes him smirk wider.
"Your eyebrow is very pleasing to welcome me here,"he said.Natigil si Xandro sa pagkwekwento at tumayo para harapin si gwapong demonyo sa harap namin.Gosh,did I say gwapo?"Oh,Mister Dwayne Woodsen.How ironic we meet here,"he said.He bow a little at stand with respect.I rolled my eyes on him.How respectful Xandro.Hindi naman siya karespe-respeto.
"Your sister seems not likely want to see me here.But sorry,importante kasi ang binibisita ko rito kaya wala siyang magagawa,"he said not erasing his smirking lips on his face.I roll my eyes again.Gaano ba kaimportante?And Xando is right.How ironic he is here?
Dumako ang tingin niya sa puntod kung saan kami dumalaw at bigla namang nawala ang mga ngisi niya sa kanyang mga labi.
"Are those people are your parents?,"tanong niya.Hindi siya nang-aasar ngayon cause I here his voice became serious."Yes.Why did you ask?,"sagot and tanong ko sa kanya.Hindi pa rin niya inaalis ang tingin sa puntod ng mga magulang namin na talaga ikinabahala ko.
Pero ang mga huling salitang binitawan niya ang mas lalong nagpakakapagtaka at nakakakilabot.
"Because the day when your parents died is the same and exact when my parents died too.That's why I'm here."
