Where is Xyrene

31

Kalirea's POV

Halo halong emosyon ang nararamdaman ko. Sakit, galit, lungkot, inis, tuwa. I'm at this point where I feel like I'm being played. I feel betrayed, I feel so sad. I don't know what to react, I'm so mad at the same time too. 

Have you felt that? Being put in a situation where you don't know what to do, don't know what to say. Don't know what to feel. You're just there, conflicted with your own head.

There's too much that happened today. I can't handle this anymore.

We've come a long way. We're finally at the end. 

I'm supposed to feel happy. I'm supposed to celebrate because I finally found her.

But why do I feel like this?

When I said I'll find her, I didn't expect this.

I didn't expect crying while reading a letter.

I didn't expect to see this.

I didn't expect that her deepest secret was this...

That she was counting years, months, weeks, days for this.

Ang sakit eh, bakit niya tinago sa amin yun. Nakakapansisi kasi eh, kung sinabi niya then we would spend more time with her, we would be able to talk to her more. Hindi yung ganito.

walang hiya ka.

Is this why you kept this? Kasi malulungkot kami? Kasi magagalit kami sayo?

Yeah, I admit I'm so mad at you for not telling me when I thought you're one of my closest friends. I'm so mad at you for not telling because it would ruin our friendship.

Fuck you Xyrene. 

Fuck you so much

-----Let's go backward-----

"Sumama kayo sa akin" sabi ni Iron 

Puno man ng pagtataka, ay sumama kami kay Iron. 

"Par, kelan ka nakabalik?" tanong ni Melo sa kanya ngunit walang imik si Iron

"Iron, may alam ka ba sa mga nangyayare? Kilala mo ba yung mga nakamask na lalaki? Do you know what's going on?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Esran

"Iron, do you know where Xyrene is?" tanong ni Eleven at bigla nalang napahinto si Iron sa paglalakad.

"Iron, alam mo kung nasaan si Xyrene?" tanong ni Alystra

"Just follow me" sabi ni Iron

Napansin kong palabas na kami ng hospital.

"Teka san mo ba kami dadalin?" tanong ko

"Stop asking stupid questions. Just follow me" sagot nito

Nang makalabas na kami sa hospital, pinasakay niya kami sa kotse niya. Nagkatinginan nalang kaming lima. Ano na naman ba ang nangyayare? Makikita na ba namin si Xyrene?

We stayed quiet for the whole trip, nakatingin lang ako sa bintana at napansin na papasok na kami sa subdivision nila Xyrene. 

I was suddenly flooded with thoughts.

If Xyrene is in her mother's house, then why did Tita Aranna report to the police that she was missing? Paano nalang yung mga lalaking nakamask kanina? How did they know so much about us? Nakidnap nga ba si Xyrene? What is really going on?

Saktong huminto ang kotse sa harap ng million dollar house nina Tita Aranna. Lumabas kami nang kotse at nakita namin si Tita Aranna sa gate na hinihintay kami. BInati niya kami ng isang matamis na ngiti.
