Chapter 9
"Ano nga yun? Suspense ba yan?"
"Oh sige na. Kasi it all started during our 4th year college days. Maalala mo yung accident? Nung nagpunta tayo sa house nila Zoey. Yung Sleepover?", tumango naman ang dalaga bilang tugon sa tanong nya. "It was one of the weirdest things that happened. The doctor told me that it was a miracle that I survived that. According to him I wouldn't bother to survive the incident or if ever I survive for sure daw na grabe ang tama ko. The car looked like it hit a tree. By that force it would mean na tumalsik dapat ako a few meters infront of the car", pagkukwento niya.
"Yeah? And?"
"According to police reports, the report of the doctor and the police report didn't match."
"In what way?"
"Example. I was expected to be around three to five meters away from the car because of the impact. But the police told my dad that I was found at the left side of the car. Just around 8 feet away", nagtataka na kweto niya.
"Okay. Atleast you've opened it, actually it was the same story Zoey told me before. She was wondering why you're there where you wasn't supposed to be there in the first place", nagtataka rin an pagkukwento ni Chelsie.
"And to add more to the trivia is this", she openned her purse and brought out a piece of feather.
"What's that?"
"A feather."
"A feather? How is it connected to what happened to you?"
"I don't know", napatayo siya mula sa pagkakaupo. Nagtungo sa binatana at nagpatuloy siya. "Atin atin lang ito ha? I found this one floating in the air before I passed out. It was surprisingly there."
Hinawakan naman n kaibigan ang feather. Pinag-aralan ito at muling nagtanong.
"It is too big for a bird."
"That's what bothers me. I also research about it and the patterns also isn't fit for a bird."
"What creature have this kind of feathers then?"
"I don't know." Napaisip naman ang dalawa.
"Maybe it's a stalker?"
"Don't scare me like that!", ang lungkot ay biglang naging takot dahil sa sinabi ng kaibigan.
"Look on the bright side. This stalker may be the reason why you're still alive 'til now", tama nga naman ang sinabi ng kaibigan.
*Yeah she's right.
If it weren't because of him/her, I should be dead by now.
"But isn't it weird for someone to leave something like this?"
"I can't think any creature who have huge feathers such as this one", bigla naman may naalala
ang kaibigan at agad na ipinaalam sa dalaga. "Wait for me I'm just going to change. Punta tayo sa kakilala ko.Maybe he can enlighten us regarding birds." Tumango na lamang siya at nagbalik sa kanyang inuupuan.
Pinagmasdan niyang mabuti ang naturang feather.
*I wanted to think that you're a prince in disguise if only I had seen your face.
Or a secret agent that dad sent to guard me.
Or maybe... maybe... maybe...
"Guardian Angel", mahinang bulong ni Zhyrie.
"What was that?", pagtatanong ni Chelsie.
"W-wala. W-wala", nagkandabulol-bulol na sagot niya rito.
"I thought I heard you saying something about a guardian angel. I wanted to think that way too.
But the problem is angels have white wings. That is a crimson black one. More like a crow than a dove.Baka naman yung kalaban ng mulawin yan? Ahaha", pagbibiro naman nito.
