Trent Morris (Gentleman's Possession Series #1)

Chapter 27

“You won't meet them? Your mother and... father is worried.” he asked.

His eyes is focusing on her as if waiting for a dramatic answer.

Hindi siya sumagot. Totoo lang, hindi niya alam ang gagawin sa ngayon. Kaya ng araw na yun ang umalis siya, with him, without any tiny little words to say. She didn't even said goodbye all she did was walked straight without eyeing back.

“Not now.”

What should she do? That shocked her. Her father they thought was dead- except her mother. At ngayon, magpapakita ito just like that to  announced his comeback? She's longing for him, for his father but for now, she needs to think.

“They're still your parents, baby.”

“Then, why did they lie? For what?”

Ilang taon na siya ngayon? 26? Almost 27. At ngayon lang naisipan ng ama na magpakita? What's the real deal? May iba ba itong pamilyang kinakasama? He left them? Umiling siya sa naisip. Bakit bigla-bigla itong nagpakita. And at the park, he knew her back then, syempre anak nga siya, why did he refused to introduce? There's so much in her mind, she'll explode soon.

“I should not meddle in this since it's your issue with them but you need to hear them, the answers perhaps. Their explanation. That can only free your mind, baby.”

She sighed. A deep one.

“Not now... I'm still absorbing this shocking of a news.” pagod siya.

“Are you sure? It's been weeks since that day and you didn't even let a single remark left behind them. They're probably problematic, now.”

She let her mouth shut. Oo, it's been weeks, two weeks, and not being overrated but she can't face them yet. She wanted to hear them and she misses them even her.....father. Especially him. Wala man siyang masyadong naaalala dito ay ama niya parin ito. Bata pa siya, umalis na ito kaya the only thing she remember is how warm his hugs were.

It hurts her whenever she remembered that she mourned for an alive person. Pinangarap niya noon na magkaroon ng ama na poprotektahan siya whatever the circumstances are. Pero ngayon nandito na ay naguguluhan naman siya. She has tons of questions.

“I'll visit one of these days.” tanging saad.

“Wala parin bang balita?” tukoy niya sa kasong matagal ng ine-imbestigahan.

She's avoiding the former topic.

“She's nowhere to be found. Mahirap siyang hanapin.” he answered.

They're talking about Ayen. Nang nalaman nila ang lahat last week ay agad silang pumunta sa police station bringing all evidences and statements of possible witnesses they've found.

Akala nila at first matatapos na, they have found everything, it must be settled then and police are arresting her instantly but she run away. No one knows where she is. Even Jareud.

Jareud is helping them now. Pinuntahan nila ito sa condo nito nong nagdaan and he's wasted. Hindi nila inaasahan na alam nito pero alam nga talaga nito. That can't be help, kasi magkaibigan ito at si Ayen.
