Bzzt. Bzzt. Bzzt.
Nangunot ang noo ko ng maramdaman ang pagbibrate ng leeg ko. Hindi ko pa sana papansinin kung hindi hindi ito tumitigil.
"Hello?" I lazily said.
"Holy shit, Jam!! where the hell
are you??"my brow creased when I hear Mara's annoying voice. Tunog nagmamadali ito and I really don't get why."What?"
"I'm trying to call you for million time and still your--"
"Okay.Okay. Cut the crap. What the hell is happening??"
I heard her sigh before answering.
"Claudette is missing!" Diretsong napaupo ako sa narinig. Nanlaki din ang mata ko sa sinabi nito.
"What the hell,are you sure?"
"Yes! Turn your TV on. The media is on their door step." natatarantang sabi niya. Hindi nako nagdalawang isip. Agad akong tumayo at lumabas. I have to know whats happening.
With my bare feet. I hurriedly walked out and turn my flatscreen on.
Nagpindot pindot ako hanggang sa mahinto sa balitang kinukuhanan ang mansion nila Clau. May dalawang police car ang nakahinto sa labas ng gate pero walang makikitang tao. Siguro ay nasa loob lahat."The heiress of Lacosta Shipping Company is said missing. Her auntie Margot younger sister of her mother said that her niece was reported missing twelve twenty A.M. this morning..."
"She's missing?why?" tanong kong halos hindi makapaniwala. Palakad lakad ako habang nakatingin sa tv at kausap si Mara sa telepono.
"I don't know." She sighed.
"Did you tried to contact her?"
"Ye. And she's not answering."
"I'll try to contact her." sabi ko hindi pa ito nakakasagot ay binabaan ko na. Agad kong dinail ang number ni Clau at inilagay sa tainga. Where the hell is she?
Hindi nagriring ang cellphone nito kaya hindi ko maiwasang hindi kabahan. Baka kung anong nangyare sa kanya.
Dinail ko ulit pero cannot be reach talaga."Crap!" napasintido ako dahil sa stress. Ang aga aga pa pero ito na agad ang nabungaran ko. Malakas na nagvibrate ang telepono ko kaya halos maitapon ko pa ito.
"Jam."
"Linds."
"I can't reach her!" nag aalalang sabi nito. Napapikit nalang ako. Stress.
"Don't stop calling her. We'll go to their house late today. I'll just prepare."
"Okay. Nandoon na si Mara actually. Andito pa ako sa condo." anito. Tumango ako saka nagpaalam na.
Hindi pa muna ako nakabalik sa kwarto. Tumawag ulit si Mara para sabihing maghihintay siya sa bahay nila Clau and the media was gone.It takes me an hour and half to readied myself. Nagtoast lang ako ng dalawang bread
at nagsalin ng fresh fruit juice. Nasa elevator na ako ng tumawag si Lindsay telling she'll pick me up."okay. I'll wait you in the lobby." ani ko.
Bumukas ang pinto ng elevator at may pumasok na babae't lalake. The girl cling her hand around the guy's arm. Pumuwesto sila sa harap ko. Tatlo lang kaming sakay kaya rinig kong bumubulong ang babae sa lalaki. Its just too low that I can't understand her words. Pero sigurado akong naglalandian sila base sa klase ng hagikhik ng babae. I shook my head. Ang lalalandi. I glance at them side way at nakilala ko agad ang lalaki. Unfortunately, siya ulit yun. That guy almost- I sighed harshly. Buti naman at busy siya wag nalang sana niya kong mapansin. Sa dinami dami ng babae niya hindi na niya siguro ako makikilala.I swear I will never get tangled in him again. Sa nakikita ko masyado siyang lapitin ng babae and him? His making them his prey. Kaya swerte ko at hanggang tulog lang ang nangyare samin nung curseful night na yun. I rolled my eye balls. I should really forget that night.
