Faded (Published Under TDP Publishing House)

Chapter Twenty-Five

"Sweetie, May lead na daw ang kapulisan kung saan maaring makita si Railey!"

Naalerto ako sa sinabi ni Dad. Agad akong napabalikwas sa pagkakahiga. I placed the phone between my shoulder and ears at hinagilap ang mga gamit kong nakalatag sa mesa ng opisina ko.

I messed it up noong nakatulog ako.

"Wait for me Dad, I'll go with you" I said in a hurry. Wala na akong pakealam kung magulo ba ang pagkakalagay ko sa mga gamit sa bag.

"No sweetie, No need." Kung paano ako nagmamadaling iligpit ang gamit ko ay siya rin namang kabilis pagtanggi ni Dad. "You need to rest baka mapano ka pa kung sasama ka. This is dangerous, Sweetie. Remember, You need to take care of every single time you move."

I sighed and pouted my lips.

"But Dad--"

"Young Sis, Kami na ang bahala rito. Bagkus we're now far from where you are at sayang na sa oras pag binalikan ka pa namin. Or else baka tumakas pa iyon hindi na tayo makakaganti!" Brent said in his fixed voice.

Nanlumo ako. But I understand them. They just want my safety but they risk their life.

"Okay, mag-iingat kayo ni Dad, Brent, please make sure makakauwi kayo ng walang galos at kahit ano mang sugat."

"Hmm!"

I putted my bag back and sitted on my swivel chair. Sana lang magtagumpay sila at walang mangyaring masama.

Inilabas ko na lang ulit ang mga gamit ko at inayos ito. A few minutes later someone knock my door.

"Bella?"

"Flowers for you!" She handed me the bouquet of flowers cheerfully.

Naguguluhan ko itong tinanggap. Saan naman ito galing? It was a long stemmed pink rose and a red romance rose bouquet.

"Kanino galing to?"

She was like she's going to pee when she intertwined her hands and sitted slowly on the chair. She was smiling like there's no tomorrow. Gosh this woman.

'A little something to let you know you’re still on my mind and in my soul'

That was written on the note. I looked back to her when my heart started pounds so fast. I just need to confirm it.

"Ang sweet no?" She commented and She fix her head on my table started her daydreaming.  "Paano kaya kung bibigyan rin ako ng taong gusto ko ng ganyang mga flowers?"

I smirked. Nakakaloka ang babaeng 'to. Sa halip na sagutin ako in-iimagine pa muna ang side na kapag siya naman ang binigyan.

"Kanino kako 'to galing, Bella?" I snapped.

She pointed on the note I was holding at. "Hindi ba nakasulat dya'an?" Umiling ako. "Oh, That's only mean na, ayaw niyang sabihin,"

I groaned. Nakakaloka 'tong babaeng ito. Kung minsan naman pinipilosopa ako.

"Doon ka na sa area mo, lintek ka. Wala naman akong mapapala sayo kung kanino galing 'to!"

I pushed her on her mini office.  She gave me an evil smirk.

"Bye-bye!" she playfully waved at me. "Don't think na baka sa masamang tao 'yan galing ah,"

I rolled my eyes. Bumalik ako sa aking swivel chair and smell it again. It has the same scent whenever Eric gave me flowers. Ayoko sanang umasa, but the other side of my mind hoping that it was from him.

I check again the letter pero wala akong nakitang sender. Pero baka rin naman hindi nga sa kanya ito galing. In the first place, we already broke up, that only means he does not have feelings for me anymore kaya bakit niya pa ako bibigyan.
