We are walking together into the woods that are still owned by the Eldinores.
"Look oh. What kind of plant is this?" Heidi asked while fondling it around.
"I don't know. I don't even like plants." Yuki replied while taking some pictures. It made me smile to see them both enjoying themselves. Even the surroundings are relaxing because only birds, some insects and the breeze of the wind can be heard.
It's two o'clock in the afternoon but we can't feel the sunlight because of the lush trees around.
"Isa po itong tawa-tawa. Halamang-gamot." Lumingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses. Si Mr.A ang sumagot sa itinatanong kanina ni Heidi. Magkatabi sila at parehong pinagmamasdan ang halaman.
I suddenly remembered the previous night where I lost consciousness. The family doctor of the Eldinores said that I had not enough sleep na sinamahan pa ng stress. Mr. A informed them of what happened at siya rin ang nagdala sa akin sa room ko. That was based on the story of Yuki and Di.
I averted my gaze nang mapansin ko ang pagtunghay niya. Again my memory came back to what I saw last night.
From his gummy smile. I couldn't forget that smile. He had a champagne smile. Nakakalasing. The kind that can forget about your sorrows even for a meantime.
His clothes. The white tuxedo he wore. It suits him well.
Her eyes. Those round brown eyes. Na noong tamaan ng liwanag ng buwan ay nag kulay ginto ito. Ang mga mata niyang puno ng misteryo ngunit palaging may dalang kakaibang pakiramdam sa akin.
And the sound of a church bell.
I shook my head to get rid of those memories. Don't stress yourself, Becky. It was just a hallucination. Pag kumbinse ko sa sarili. Hallucination where he was your groom. Sarcastic na sagot ng kabilang bahagi ng utak ko.
"Sh*t!" Napahawak ako sa sariling sentido because I am really stress by my thoughts.
"Are you okay, Bec?" Heidi asked. "I'm talking to you but you've been quiet. What's wrong?"
"Huh? Ah yes...I'm fine." I tried to smile to show that I am really fine.
"Are you sure? Maybe you are still not feeling well. We can just go back." It was a suggestion from Yuki who had also approached me. There was a trace of worries on both of their faces. The two bodyguards were just looking at us and waiting for my decision.
"I'm fine. You don't need to worry." I smiled and walked ahead of them.
..
"Say cheese." The bodyguard who's with Mr.A said with a smile. I don't know his name. All I know is that he is new. That's why I chose him to join us because I knew he wasn't that loyal to Dada yet. While Mr.A was just watching around as if he always suspected that something bad might happen to us. Praning!
"Elvis, here naman." Yuki pointed to the big acacia tree. Elvis, that's his name.
"Okidoki, Ma'am." He followed Yuki. Magaan ang vibe ko sa kanya. Unlike other Dada's bodyguards. He looks friendly and trustworthy.
"Ma'am, yaki naman po kayo." His request made me laugh. Nakuha naman nito ang atensyon ni Mr.A at ni Di na kasalukuyan pa rin na tumitingin ng mga halaman sa paligid. When did they become close?
