Chapter 26

( Diether )

“Dude, what's with the flowers and stuffs?” kunot noong tanong ni Jared habang nakatingin sa mga bagay na nasa ibabaw ng mesa ko.  “You now pestering someone?” dagdag niya. I throw dagger looks at him.

Jared Seo, a half filipino/korean dog. He's my buddy since college, and yes I do made friends with animals.

“Shut up.” I warned him while checking myself in a mirror placed in my office desk.

“Seriously asking here, what's up with you these days?” he mumbled while scanning the chocolates above my table.

“Doing things that a normal person does..” I answered still not contented on how awesome I am now in front of the mirror.

“Ah, pestering then.” he said.

“Douchebag.” sabi ko nalang saka tumayo. “I have to go now,” I added before picking the bouquet and chocolate.

“Goodluck loverdog,” he snorted. Binalewala ko nalang 'yon at tinungo na ang daan palabas ng opisina ko.

On my way at Zam's apartment.

...

I cleared my throat and composed myself first before making small knocks at Zamira's apartment.

“Hey..” I'm smiling from ear to ear while waiting for their response.

After almost a couple of minutes I knocked again when I got no response.

“Zam? Hey..” I called but still no answer. She should expect my presence at this time. “Yuraine?” tawag ko naman sa nakababatang kapatid niya, but still no.

My forehead creased, that's new. Maybe they're in their sleep? Or out?

“Is anyone in there?” I asked still knocking.

“Boss?”

Napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses, my face lit up when I saw Petchay. Zam's neighbor.

“Nice to see you, Petchay. Where's Zam?” I asked still smiling.

Hindi nakatakas sa paningin ko ang saglit na pagngiwi nito bago sumagot, “Betchay po not Petchay, 'di po ako gulay.” she corrected me, my mouth form into an 'O' shape. “Wala po d'yan sila Ate,”

“You mean?” my forehead knotted.

“Lumipat na po sila..”

Bagsak ang balikat na hinarap ko siya, “What?” hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

“Lumipat na po sila, kanina lang. Sinundo na po sila ng tatay nila..” she answered.

Inabot ko sa kanya ang mga dala ko bago kunin sa bulsa ko ang cellphone ko. I tried to call Zam's number but cannot be reach.

Inis akong bumuga ng hangin, “You know their new address?” I asked but she just shake her head as an answer.

Argh, damn this.

I called my secretary for assistance.

“Sir?” he responded.

I massage the bridge of my nose, “Give me the address of Mr. Dolorosa. Send it to me after a minute.” I said then cutted the line.
