Our Fated Encounter [Completed]

Chapter 34

"Just remember, I'll be waiting." The last words he uttered never left my mind as I mindlessly went back to my room.

With my trembling hands I held the envelope close to my heart. Fear. Fear is all that I feel right now.

I have no idea what this may contain and how what I believed will change and hurt me again. It was way painful before when I found out, now, I just don't know if I can handle any more of this.

I took a deep breath before accepting whatever I'll find out.

I slowly opened the envelop and I saw a pictures and documents regarding my dad's case before. I saw some of this before when I opened a similar envelope before but minus my profile and all.

Tears fell from my eyes when I saw a picture of a man on the ground bleeding to death. B-but something felt odd...

I tried looking at all possible angles but it just seems so odd.

Maybe the picture was taken before he was brought to the hospital but he looks just like he just fainted and will just suffer a few injuries. His head was bleeding alright but it didn't seem like it could be the reason to end up dead.

As I was scanning through the files, I saw a picture of a man. He looked quite aged but when I stared at his face, he looked sad. Was he the one who took the blame for him? I suddenly felt bad.

I read that he ended up in jail kahit sabihin pa nating it was unintentional. It said that the maximum years in jail would be around 6 years. It also stated that he who is a fault will be held liable for the deceased and its family

Siguro yung mga magulang n ani John ang nagbayad para sa kanya.I feel like di naman niya deserve mabulok dun ng ganun katagal when he wasn't at fault pero it's really strange. I want to know more because these files I'm holding right now aren't enough to keep my conscience at ease.

"Val!" I called her out immediately.

"What? Why? What's wrong?" she asked worriedly as she sat beside me and held my hand.

I held her hand tightly and looked directly at her full of desperation to solve everything.

"Book me a flight, I need to get back to the Philippines as soon as possible."

I suddenly remembered something while despite being lost in my thoughts. Then I heard my phone rang. I thought I knew who was calling but it was an unregistered number.

"Hello? Who is this please?" I asked as soon as I answered the phone.

"Stella, iha, can we please meet up and talk? I have something to ask you." After how many years I still knew who that voice was from, a firm voice I never expected I'd hear again and I think I know what the reason is.

"Sige po, tell me where and when." I said then ended the call.

As soon as the call ended, I immediately texted John to meet me up tomorrow morning because I have a lot of questions to ask to just get this over with.

"Are you sure that it's fine for you to meet him alone? We could always come if you need company in facing him." Angelo said as he was driving me to the café where I told John we'll meet.

"I'll be fine, stop worrying too much."

"Mas malala ka pa kay tita kung mag-alala." Sabi pa ni Val
