CHAPTER 35

The mere thought of someone dying makes me sick. Felix tried to convince me not to look back, noong una ay ayaw ko talagang tignan but curiosity got the best of me. Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko na tumingin.

Nakita ko ang dalawang sasakyan na nakabaligtad, the other one was badly crushed. May tatlong katawan din ang tila naihagis dahil sa lakas ng impact.

Are they dead?

"Oh god," I breathlessly said as my tears kept on falling.

"Maura," Felix called my name then squeezed my hand.

I shut my eyes and faced front. Pakiramdam ko mawawalan ako ng hininga any moment now. Did they all die?

I lost track of time. Hindi ko na alam kung ilang oras na kaming nagbabyahe ni Felix. I don't even know where we were. Ang alam ko lang, we never stopped. I think dahil iyon sa upang masigurong naligaw namin kung may mga possible pang sumusunod sa amin. He just kept on driving habang ako ay nanatiling tahimik na nagmamasid sa tanawin sa labas. Hindi pamilyar sa akin ang lugar. I did not even bother asking Felix.

My heart leaped when his phone rang, agad naman niyang sinagot iyon bago ko pa man ito malingon. He put it on speaker.

"Sir, the house is ready," it was Rico.

"We will be there approximately 3 hours," ani Felix sabay patay ng tawag.

Muli ulit kaming nilamon ng katahimikan. Although I kind of felt that he wants us to talk pero ayaw niya lang pangunahan. Ayaw ko makipag-usap kaya hindi ako umiimik, I guess he could read me well. I admire his respect towards me. The silence was deafening so I drifted off to sleep before I knew it.

The sun was almost up when I woke up. Ramdam ko na ang pangangawit ng leeg ko.

It was 05:30 in the morning. How long have I been asleep exactly? I tried to fix myself when I realized that I was still wearing my dress and heels from last night's events. I just wish my make-up is not that messed up! Speaking of, I need a shower.

I glanced at Felix who was still driving. I bit my lip and realized we have not had any conversation since last night. Why do I even feel guilty about that? I should not feel bad about it! Natural lamang iyon na reaksyon ng tao. I even feel traumatized!

"Good morning," I greeded with a raspy voice.

Gosh! Even my voice was gone. Sana hindi rin ako bad breath! I really could use a bathroom right now.

His lips formed a thin line and then faced me. He studied my face for a brief second. Nakikiramdam pa ito sa akin. I gently touched his face. He was surprised by it, obviously was not expecting that. Nginitian ko ito.

We did not talk, again. He just kept on driving and I just kept on wathcing the scenery. I must admit, the silence was comforting. Last night was too much, we both need peace and quiet.

At that point, I did not care where was he taking us. I did not bother asking. That was when I confirmed that I do not really care where life would take me as long as I have him beside me. It's so cheesy! I cannot help but to smile from my everyday growing love for this man. All my life I thought I was in love with Marcus, I even wasted my time chasing him and did not even bother to look around and when I did, I saw Felix and that was the best thing ever happened.

The green scenery was soon replaced by houses, then building, then busy streets. It was almost an hour since I woke up when Felix steered away from the main road. Pakiramdam ko ay maliligaw ako kung pinili kong tandaan ang masikip at pasikot sikot na daanan. He soon entered a what seemed to be a gated resort. It looked high-end.
