Before I Fall in LOVE

Chapter 2: Suspicion

KASSANDRA's POV

While driving, I still can't get off my mind that I saw Kenzo's car. What is he doing there, waiting for Penny? But as far as I know, they were not that close. Hmm.. ano kayang ginagawa niya do'n?

Suddenly my phone rang.

"Ay pusa!" Natawa pa 'ko sa nasabi ko dahil sa gulat.

I put on my earbuds and answered the call.

"Hello?" It's an unknown number.

"Mom?" I was surprised that it was my Mom. She's in the U.S, bakit local number ang gamit niya?

"When did you arrive?" tanong ko ulit sa kanya.

"You should have told me na nandito kayo. I've already made an appointment for dinner." Kung alam ko lang eh di sana dumiretso na 'kong umuwi after class o kaya sinundo ko sana sila.

"Okay. I'll see what I can do. Bye!" And I ended the call.

Now I'm torn if I'll go to my appointment or cancel it. Should I or not? I'm in the midst of contemplating when I spotted a space for over taking.

So I over took the car infront of me and accelerated the gas, but I miscalculated it. The front car came to a halt that made me reacted instinctively in pressing the brakes harder. That save me from crashing into it, but then a loud bang at the back made me almost lost my conciousness.

I felt an immeasurable pain at my neck area after being bumped into. Pakiramdam ko ay naliliyo rin ako. Kaya isinandal ko na lang ang balikat at ulo ko. Kung bakit naman kasi biglang tumigil ang kotse sa may harapan ko?!

I tried reaching my phone and dialled 1 right away. Few seconds lang ay sumagot na si ate Annie. I told her that I met an accident and I needed an ambulance. As expected nataranta itong inalam ang kinaroroonan ko saka na nagmamadaling binaba ang tawag.

Few minutes later, I heard knocks from my side window. At kahit hirap ay naibaba ko ito. Pero hindi ako nangahas na tingnan kung sino. Baka naman police officer or 'yong nakabangga sa akin.

"Miss, okay lang kayo?" I heard a man's voice. I didn't say a word. How can I be okay kung halos di ko na magalaw ang leeg ko?

"Police officer, we need to call an ambulance right away," dinig ko namang wika ng isa pa. So I was right, it's the police officer.

Agad namang rumadyo 'yong pulis at humingi ng tulong. Ngunit ilang minuto lang ay dinig na ang paparating na ambulansiya. Baka ito 'yong tinawagan ni Ate Annie.

I kept myself awake habang inaalalayan akong mailipat sa stretcher papunta sa ambulansiya. I didn't dare open my eyes and look around. Kaya hindi ko rin alam kung madami bang tao o hindi. Pero panigurado lang na laman na 'ko ng balita mayamaya lang nito. 'Tsk! How careless of, Kassandra!'

ZION's POV

"Adan! What's that?!" gimbal na tanong ko.

"Sorry po boss. Bigla pong huminto 'yong sasakyan sa harapan," mabilis naman na tugon nito.

"Check it!" Mabilis naman itong umoo saka umibis ng sasakyan.

"Manong, wala na bang ibang daan papuntang bistro?" umaasang tanong ko. I can't be late.

"Malabo po sir. Naiipit po tayo sa traffic. May mga sasakyan din po sa likuran natin. Kaya hindi po ako maaaring magmani-obra." Tsk! Naloko na. Mabubulilyaso pa ata ang appointment ko.
