His Touch (Book 1)

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Kakagaling lang namin ni coffee guy sa abandoned driveway, I studied the place how would I get his body. He said his body was located on the trunk of the car.

Good thing the trunk wasn't lock based on coffee guy so I just hope I can get his body right away.

I saw other people walking in that alley with a fear on their eyes while looking at me, para silang mga takot na takot nung nakita nila akong malapit sa driveway.

When I was there I felt something not good, siguro nga ay masama talaga ang gumawa nito kay coffee guy.

Pag-balik ko dito sa rooftop ay hinayaan na muna ako na mapag-isa ni coffee guy, good thing I didn't give up on this unit. Ito talaga ang safe place ko. Kahit na may unit pa ako sa isang floor, ito pa rin ang madalas na uwian ko.

Parang may nagsasabi sa akin na 'wag pumunta bukas dahil parang may mangyayaring hindi maganda pero hindi dapat ako ma-distract dahil gusto ko na talagang matapos ang mission ko.

I sigh heavily, two days from now Leie will finally leave this country. There's a chance he'll forget about me and I think that's a good idea? Right, he should just forget about me.

I still love him but it's better if he forget about me, he won't be hurt again. I wiped my tears, napapagod na rin ako kakaiyak pero hindi ko din naman 'to matigilan.

I'm ready to what will happen tomorrow I am very well aware that this mission is risky and it might cause some damages but it will be better if the damage is only mine and not to other people, ayoko mandamay ng ibang tao.

When coffee guy finally asked for my help I never see other ghosts ever again, I am not sure if this is my hardest mission but he said after this he will help me in everything.

Pumasok ako sa loob at uminom ng tubig, muli kong napansin ang kwintas ko kaya hinawakan ko 'to. I can't loose this necklace, ito na lang din ang pinagkukuhanan ko ng lakas dahil galing ito sa kaniya.

I woke up because of the sun rays hugging my skin, hindi ko pala naisara ang kurtina ko kagabi. After I woke up, I did my morning routine and clean the whole place.

Pag-tapos ko sa lahat ay kumain na muna ako, mabilis rin akong natapos do'n. I have nothing to do now so I just wait for coffee guy's presence.

Maybe if I can still see ghosts, while I have nothing to do I might stroll and see who I can help, I was attached to this ability that's why no ghosts are so foreign to me.

Minutes after I saw coffee guy sitting in my table like how he used to. He gave me a weak smile before he talked. "This will be the last time you'll see me like this, next time you'll see me you can finally touch me." He said.

"What?" I asked.

I'm confused, I know I will save him but what does it mean about the last time? I don't get it.

"When you go there, you can't see me Haffai."  He answered.

"What? No! Kailangan mo mag-pakita sa akin!" I said.

"I can't."

"What?" I whispered.

"Tutulungan na nga kita, sasamahan mo na lang ako doon para sa hints mo pero iiwan mo pa akong mag-isa?" I said.

This is so unfair, masiyadong risky at nakakatakot ang mission na 'to pero hindi niya pa ako magagawang tulungan kahit na para din ito sa kaniya?

"I'm so sorry, hindi ko talaga kaya but I promise after you saved my body and after I recover I promise, tutulungan kita sa lahat Haffai." He said.

Hindi ko siya sinagot pero tinignan ko lang siya, hindi ko alam kung dapat pa ba akong maniwala sa kaniya. Hindi na rin ako makapag-back out dahil ito na rin ang araw na kukuhain ko ang katawan niya.

Kinuha ko na lang ang susi ko atsaka na ako bumaba, I am wearing a comfy clothes that for sure wouldn't be a hassle for later.

I started the engine and I saw him sitting on the passenger seat. I gulp first and slowly close my eyes.

Tomorrow is Leie's flight, I am going to miss him but I wish for his happiness there.

Malapit na kami sa pupuntahan namin at mas nadadagdagan lang ang kaba ko, pakiramdam ko talaga ay may mangyayaring masama pero sana lang ay wala.

Nakita ko na naman ang ilang tao na may takot sa mga mata nila, dali-dali silang nagsiuwi sa kani-kanilang bahay.

I looked at the driveway, kahit na nandito pa rin ako sa loob ng sasakyan ko ay sobrang lakas na ng kabog ng dibdib ko, sobrang kinakabahan na ako.

Humigpit ang kapit ko ng makitang malinis na sasakyan ang lumabas sa driveway, ipinarada niya ang sasakyan sa harapan mismo ng driveway atsaka siya lumabas.

Halos gumuho ang mundo ko at hindi makapaniwala sa nakita ko.

It was Mill.

Naramdaman ko agad ang mga luha sa pisngi ko. He was about tonlock the gate when someone called him, it was a girl. Lumabas 'yon mula sa sasakyan niya at agad na lumapit sa kaniya para mahalikan siya.

They're on public and they're doing the thing, aren't they ashamed?

Mill didn't get a chance to lock the gate because of what they're doing. This is an opportunity to me.

Kahit na gusto kong iiwas ang tingin ko dahil sa ginagawa nila ay hindi ko magawa dahil iniintay ko ang tamang timing para lumabas ako at umpisahan na ang mission ko.

Pumasok silang dalawa sa sasakyan habang magkadikit pa rin ang mga labi nila, ilang saglit lang din ay umalis na rin sila.

Nagsimula na ang mas malakas na kabog ng dibdib ko, I looked at coffee guy and I can sense that he's also nervous.

"Good luck Haffai, thank you." He said.

I just nod to him. I'll do my best to save him, I will make Mill rot in jail.
