The Night He Belong To The Moon [on hold]

Chapter Four

Chapter Four

I was pacing back and forth as I tried to call Midnight but it seems that his phone is off dahil out of reach ito.

"I should've sent him to Madrid right away! He wouldn't have thought about this stupid stunt if agad siyang nakaalis!" Dinig na dinig ang frustration ni mom habang palakad-lakad din sa living room.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I can't believe this! Never pumasok sa isip ko ang possibility na gagawin niya ito! Na magtanan sila ni Era! I know that Midnight loves Era but I didn't expect it to be this way. This is stupid!

Alam na alam niya na sobrang makapangyarihan ang mga Hidalgo. Messing with their family means disaster. He knows it because he dated Era pero ginawa pa rin niya ito.

"Please be safe Midnight..." I uttered under my breath at sinubukan namang tawagan si Era.

Apparently, Era called tita Millie, saying that Midnight took her to runaway. Labag daw ito sa loob ni Era kaya mas lumaki pa ang galit ni tita sa kakambal ko.

Kaya ngayon, pinapahanap na rin ni mom si Midnight. She doesn't like the idea of him getting caught by tita Millie's people. Hindi namin alam kung ano ang kaya nilang gawin kay Midnight.

"Find him immediately!" Naiiyak na si mom habang sinisigawan ang kausap sa kabilang linya.

I held her arm para pakalmahin ito. She stopped for a while para huminga ng malalim. She tried to regained her posture bago naglakad palayo dahilan kung bakit nabitawan ko siya.

Ang sakit. Why is this happening?

I thought kilala ko na si Midnight. Bakit hindi ko alam na kaya niya itong gawin. Why didn't he tell me anything? Hindi ko ba siya nadamayan sa kalungkutan niya kaya umabot sa punto na ito?

I don't know anymore. Ang alam ko lang ay sobrang sakit dahil parang ang layo ko sa kanila. Parang hindi ko sila kilala.

Inalalayan ako ng isa sa mga kasambahay namin patungo sa kwarto. I can't feel my face at all because I feel so anxious. Pinapunta na rin muna nila ako sa kwarto para kumalma.

Paghiga ay napatulala na lang ako sa kisame. I'm not shedding a single tear kahit pa na halos hindi ako makahinga sa sakit o ano man. It felt like I'm feeling every emotion but I'm also numb. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko na ito. It's probably because of all this information is layed out in front of me and it felt like everything's falling apart. And it's a slap on the face while standing in the living room, everyone felt like a stranger.

And somehow, this feeling felt familiar.

Midnight, nangako ka na dadamayan mo ako kapag kailangan kita 'di ba? Nasaan ka na?

I have no idea on how long I was lying on the bed. A few minutes, an hour or more, i have no idea. Wala akong lakas para bumangon at makibalita muli. Maya't maya rin ay tahimik akong nagdarasal na sana ay maayos ang lagay ni Midnight at Era. Na sana ay walang mangyaring masama sa kanila.

My thoughts went on. I spiraled down until I somehow manage to fall asleep.

—

Pagmulat ko ng mga mata ay mabigat pa rin ang naramdaman ko. I wasn't able to change last night because I felt really drained. Kaya ang una kong ginawa ay maligo.

The first thing I should do actually is to ask mom about Midnight and Era. But I'm scared. Ayokong malaman dahil maraming posibleng sagot ang sabihin sa akin at kahit isa ay ayaw ko munang marinig.

I did my thing on my bathroom. It probably took me an hour to finish because I kept on spacing out.

Nang makapagbihis ng pambahay ay nanginginig akong lumabas ng kwarto,
Sa takot sa maaring bumungad sa akin. I wasn't able to wrap everything up in my brain last night, one of the reason why I'm scared and can't think straight right now.
