The Life Note At A Time

Kabanata 29

Nang makarating kami sa condominium ay dali dali akong bumaba at lumapit sa guard upang magtanong.

"Miss Samuel." bati nya. Ngumiti ako ng alanganin dahil biglaan ang pagpunta ko rito. "Ang tagal nyong nawala,"

"Uhm, dito parin po ba nakatira sina Shawn?" walang pag aalinlangan kong tanong. Malungkot ang mukha nyang tumingin sa akin saka umiling.

"Simula nang umalis kayo ay umalis narin sya," hindi nya natuloy ang sasabihin dahil bigla syang kinausap ng kasamahan nyang gwardya. I pushed my tongue inside my cheeks at lumingon ulit sa kanya ng bumalik ito.

"So, alam mo ba kung saan sya pumunta?" I still tried to look polite while asking. Ngunit lalo akong nanlumo at pakiramdam ko ay bumagsak ang mga balikat ko dahil sa sinabi nya.

"I'm sorry, ma'am Gill, pero wala syang nabanggit." sabi nya saka ngumiti ng pilit at tumalikod. Wth. Ano na ang gagawin ko? Saan na kita hahanapin Shawn?

Napahawak ako sa buhok ko then brush my fingers through my hair while frowning. Sumakay ako sa kotse at tinignan sila na para na akong maiiyak na bata.

"I'm sorry friend," Mitch said. I turn my head to her and look at her eyes asking. "Bumalik sya sa San Rafael, after you left."

San Rafael. Ang lugar kung saan kami nagsimula ang lahat. And funny how it ended like that. And now I still need to find ways to find him. To find my heart. To find my only one.

Lumingon ako sa kanila with puppy eyes. Mitch raised her brows then Marcus just smirk. Ngumuso ako pero nawala rin ng ngumiti sila. "No, way."

"Here's your key," Mitch just said. While I can't even process of what's happening right now. "Go, find your heart."

"That sounds so cheesy." Marcus commented. Mitch and I rolled our eyes to him. As I hug them. "Make sure you'll be at the airport before 6 pm."

Paalala ni Marcus. Ngumiti ako sa kanila saka bumaba ng sasakyan saka pumasok sa Condo.

"Are my car still here?" I ask the guard that I talked earlier.

"Yung red na porsche ma'am?" tanong nya pabalik. I quickly nod to show him that I'm in a hurry. "Nasa second floor parking po." he politely said. Ngumiti lang ako saka tumakbo papuntang lift.

My heart was beating so fast pagkarating sa second floor parking. Nagkakanda lito na ako to find my car but gladly I have my key. Pagkapasok sa car ay hindi ko muna inistart saka kinalma ko muna ang aking sarili.

What should I do? Anong sasabihin ko pagkarating roon? Maraming tanong ang nabubuo sa aking utak at mas maraming pangamba ang pumapasok roon. Listen self. You're doing this not just for you but for the sake of you and Shawn.

I started the engine and drive. I didn't think that it'll took two hours and a half to make it there. Just for him. I'll do everything for him. I tried to call him but the phone was still dead..

I stop by, in a grocery store to buy some snacks, water and soda. I was a little hungry while I'm on my way to San Rafael. God, I miss that place. The place where I grew up. Where I had so much memories with my brother.

Nang makarating ako sa bahay nila ay biglang bumuhos ng malakas ang ulan  kaya nabasa ako pagkababa ko ng sasakyan. Tumakbo ako puntang gate saka nag doorbell pero walang sumasagot.

Basang basa na ako. Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa kabuuan ng bahay saka ako nag give up at tumakbo pabalik sa sasakyan ko. I didn't knew na wala ng nakatira rito. Sabagay tinanong ko ba sya?

Napabuntong hininga ako saka naghanap ng damit na pwedeng maisuot sa backseat. Bumalik ako sa drivers seat ng wala akong mahanap. Kinalkal ko ang mini drawer sa shot gun seat at nakita ko ang isang puting shirt. It was from Shawn. Hindi ko maalala pero he probably left it when he was here.
