Carleigh Jade Revaz


"Thanks for today. Hindi na kita aayain pumasok dahil baka dito ka nanaman makatulog." Nahihiyang sabi ko sa kanya.

"Yeah maybe that's a good idea. Let's just see each other on monday. I'll see you okay?"

"My monday is all yours so don't worry." I said to him while laughing. He just nod at me before he spread his wide arms in front of me. Nagtataka naman akong tumingin sa kanya.

"What's that?"

"Come here." He just said so I walk towards him and let him hug me. I secretly sniff him again. Maybe his perfume will blown away my heavy thoughts.

"Don't overthink tonight okay? If you need someone to talk to I'm always here for you. If you feel bothered, dial my number and I'll pick up your call immediately. I'll be just one call away from you. Have a good night sleep and sweet dreams tonight. I'll send you my sweetest good night after I come home." Mahabang sabi nya sa akin kaya napangiti na lang ako. Yong mga iniisip ko biglang nawala. He is making sure that I will feel his presence and I will know that I have someone like him who can be with me anytime.

"You can say simple good night. Ang dami mo naman agad sinabi." I said nang kumalas ako sa yakap nya.

"Sige na, I should go now."

"Take care." I said before he hop on the car. Papasok na sana ako sa loob nang marinig ko pa ang tawag nya. Nakababa ang salamin ng kotse at nakatingin sya sa akin. He mouthed something.

"I love you too." I said and before he close the window, the last thing I saw is his smile. Pagkaalis nya ay pumasok na ako sa loob. Una kong hinanap sina Mom pero wala pa sila dahil hindi ko makita ang bakas man lang nila.

"Hindi pa ba umuuwi sina Dad?"

"Hindi pa po. Simula nong umalis po kayo hindi pa po sila bumabalik."

"Okay, just prepare a warm bath for me." I said at pabagsak akong naupo sa sofa. I get my phone and dialed Mom's number. She's not answering my calls so I call Dad instead but he's not also picking up. I let out a deep breath because of what happened earlier between Mom and Dad. And now, they are not picking up my calls. They always answer my calls kahit na anong busy nila at isa pa, kung hindi man sila ang nasagot ay nandoon ang secretary nila para sabihin kung gaano sila kabusy.

I just choose to go upstairs and straight to my room. Pagdating ko doon ay okay na ang bath tub ko. I think I need a warm bath to ease my thoughts. Ilang oras din akong nagbabad doon bago ko napagpasyahan na umahon. Pagkatapos ko magbihis ay bumaba ako. Hoping that I can see Mom and Dad.

"Nakauwi na ba sina Mom?" I said saka ako naupo sa may dinning area.

"Hindi pa po Miss Jade." The maid said at ipinaglagay na nya ako ng pagkain sa plato ko. Ni hindi ko nagawang hawakan ang kubyertos ko.

"I won't eat. Just tell me if Mom and Dad is already home. I'll be just on my room." I said to them at tumayo na ulit sa kinauupuan ko. Nawalan ako bigla ng gana. Kung dati nakakakain ako ng mag-isa ngayon ay hindi. I don't know why but I really have a bad feeling. Hindi ko alam kung saan 'to nanggagaling.

Maybe because of the text I received earlier? Or maybe because of what happened to Mom and Dad earlier?

I just forget my thoughts and lay on my bed.

Sebastian? How can I not overthink if I am experiencing unusual things?
