Why Can't It Be? (Bachelorette Series 5)

Chapter 19

Chapter Nineteen

"H-hello?"

Napakunot-noo siya ng marinig ang boses ni Key. "Are you crying?" He asked over the phone.

Humikbi ito. "C-chord." There's a long pause before she finally speak. "I... I remember everything... about my parent's death now."

Agad siyang napatayo at lumabas ng kanyang opisana. Tutal ay tapos naman na ang kanyang duty. "Where are you, baby?" Nag-aalala niyang tanong habang tinatakbo ang elevator.

He heard her gasped for air. "H-here in my villa."

"Okay, i'm on my way. Calm down please? Baka kung anong mangyari sa'yo." He said frustratedly.

Humikbi itong muli.

"I'm on my way, baby. I'll be there in no time." He said soothingly.

Halos paliparin na niya ang kotse para makarating agad ng Belladona. Key is in a vulnerable state right now. She need someone beside her. She needs him.

Nang makapasok siya ng Belladona ay agad niyang sinundan ang daan patungo sa hilera ng mga villa. Pero agad siyang hinarang ng guard sa gate papasok ng villa proper.

"ID po sir?"

He immediately gave his ID.

Matapos i-check sa log book ang pangalan niya ay bumaling ang guard sa kanya. "Pasensya na po sir, pero mukang hindi po kayo nakalagay sa list ng mga pwedeng pumasok ng villa proper."

He ran his hand through his hair. Damn it.

"I knew Key, i'm his doctor and she needs me right now." He hope this one will work.

"Pasensya na po sir. Pero mahigpit po talaga ang security dito sa villa proper." Magalang na paliwanag ng guard.

Fuck. He cursed through his mind. He grab his phone and dialled Key's number.

She answered on the fifth ring. "Hello?" She said in a hoarse voice.

"I can not enter inside the villa proper. I'm not in that so called list." He said frustratedly.

"Let me talk to the guard."

Inabot niya ang cellphone sa guard. Makalipas ang ilang sandali ay ibinalik din nito iyon.

"They will have to call Sierra's office first. Is it okay? Pwede naman akong lumabas na lang." She said in her soft voice. She must be tired from crying.

"No, stay there okay? I'll just wait here." Sansala niya. Mas mabuting nasa bahay lang ito.

He ended the call before looking at the guard.

"Sir, kausapin daw po kayo ni Ma'am Sierra." Inilahad ng guard ang cellphone sa kanya.

"What happened to her?" Agad nitong bungad.

"I called to check on her only to find out that she remember about her parent's death now." Paliwanag niya.

"Oh ghad." Frustration is visible on Sierra's voice. "I'm pretty sure she's vulnerable right now. Her parent's death is just so tragic." She sighed.

"Don't worry i'll take care of her." He assured her.

"Dapat lang. Okay give the phone back now and go to Key immediately. She needs someone right now."

"I will. Thank you."

"And Chord, i'm not doing this for you. This is because I love Key. This is all for her." Sierra pointed out.
