FUTURE HUSBAND

CHAPTER 39

HE was cooking in the kitchen when he heard a loud bang from  his room and she saw Taia running towards the door.

"Taia!" he shouted and turned off the stove but before he could reach her, she's already gone. He sighed and get his car keys then followed her.

"Mocha!" he called her when she saw her waiting on the elevator but she just ignore him.

F*ck!

Hindi niya rin ito naabutan pero hindi mawala sa isip niya ang emosyon sa mga mata nito.

Her eyes were cold and she's kinda...numb.

Numb of the pain.

Mocha.

He can't take to wait for the next elevator so he head to the the fire exit. Patakbo siyang pumasok ng fire exit at mabilis na bumaba pero napatigil siya nang biglang may tumawag, mabilis niya itong sinagot nang makitang si Anelle iyun at nagpatuloy.

"Ano yun-"

(You have to stop, Taia! She will f*cking kill, Lavinia, Renato and Rowela!) Binabaan na niya ito ng tawag at mas bumilis ang takbo niya pababa at nang marating niya na ang first floor ay nakita niyang nakasakay na si Taia ng taxi.

"F*CK. Mocha, you're driving me crazy." He murmurs and get inside his car then followed her. He keeps on tapping the steering wheel while following the taxi. Mabilis niyang sinagot nang tumawag ulit si Anelle sa kaniya.

"How's Sunny?"

(S-Sunny's gone. Dead on arrival siya, Kuya Dave. Rowela, Renato and Lavinia is in our hands now. Taia will be here any minute. Pigilan mo siya.) Sabi nito and he turn left when the taxi turned left. He felt his breath stopped hearing those words from Anelle. He's worried for the kids and especially for the woman he loves the most.

"I will." He said and end the call then he stops when she saw her step out of the taxi.

It doesn't seems like she's  planning to kill anyone.

He stepped out of the car when she saw Taia entered the church. He sighed and check himself, he sighed in relief seeing that he's wearing proper clothes. Ayaw niyang pumasok ng simbahan na nakaboxer at sando na kagaya sa panaginip niya. Nang makapasok siya ay nakita niyang nasa may unahan ito nakaupo. Lumapit siya rito pero umupo siya sa kasunod na upuan.

"Panginoon ko...s-sana ako nalang ang nawala. Ako ang A-Ate niya pero wala akong nagawa." Dinig niyang dasal ni  Taia at napakuyom siya nang marinig ang paghikbi nito ng tahimik. Hindi niya halos maigalaw ang mga paa para lapitan ito at yakapin man lang dahil kahit siya ay nasasaktan din sa mga nangyari. Parang nangyari lahat sa isang araw lang. They became happy and it smoothly changed into the most painful part. Presents always comes with strings and every happiness has a payment—sadness.

Lumipas ang ilang minuto na ganun lang ito at tahimik na umiiyak.

"P-Patawarin mo ako, Sunny. I'm really sorry." She cried and puked. Nang tumayo ito at naglakad palabas nang simbahan ay nakasunod pa'rin siya rito. Sumakay ito ng taxi at nakasunod pa'rin siya, tanaw niya mula sa pwesto niya si Taia na nakatingin sa labas at umiiyak pa'rin ito dahil nakita niyang panay ito punas ng luha.

Everything's going to be fine, Mocha.

NANG makababa siya ng taxi ay pinagmasdan niya lang ang paligid at tahimik ang bahay ampunan. She sighed before opening the gate and enters the Cygnus House. Ang tahanan na binuo niya na puno ng masasayang alaala at pag-asa. Tahimik ang lugar dahil halos lahat ay nasa hospital at hindi niya kayang harapin ang walang buhay na katawan  ni Sunny. Hindi niya kaya at parang dinudurog ang puso niya kapag nakikita niya ito.
