The Heiress (Imperfectly Perfect)

Chapter 32- He Died

Imperfectly Perfect

SEICHELLE's POV

Halos maiyak na ako sa harapan ni Prof. dala narin siguro ng tuwa dahil sa wakas may makakapagturo na sakin kung nasaan si Price.

Kaso ang di ko maintindihan ay kung bakit hindi makapagsalita si Prof. Ano kaya yung ibig sabihin nyang may kailangan akong malaman?

"Prof okay lang kayo?"

Hay salamat at natauhan ang teacher ko. "Oo, may naalala lang ako. Paano mo nga pala nakilala si... Price?"

::>_

Napakagat ako sa labi ko, ganito kasi ako pagkinakabahan..

"ah.. kasi po Prof ano.. magkaibigan po kami!" I managed to smile kahit sobrang kumakabog ang puso ko.

"Ms. Seichelle? Ako hindi mo natatandaan?" He asked.

Huh?? As far as my good memory was concern eh dito ko lang nakita at nakilala si Prof. At saka, bilang lang ang taong nakikita ko nung nandoon pa ako sa mansyon. At I doubt kung isa sya dun.

Kaya umiling na lang ako.

He smiled kaso may halong dismaya. "Hindi mo nga siguro ako natatandaan. Pero ito nakikilala mo?" Then he showed me another picture - this time mukha syang family picture: isang may edad na magasawa kasama ng isang pinabatang prof. Delicio.

Tiningnan kong maigi ang larawan. At nabigla ako sa nakita ko.

"Anak po kayo ni Mr. Matt?" I almost shouted.

Waaaah!!! Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na di ko dapat sinabing kilala ko si Mr. Matt. -susme!!

"Precisely. Ako yung kasama ni Price noong una kayong nagkakilala. Ms. Seichelle Amaro - Donnovan, kilalang kilala kita." He said.

Q_Q nanlaki ang mga mata ko.

Kilala ako ni Prof. Delicio?? Yung totoong ako!??

Teka.. sya yung kasama ni Price noong una kaming nagkita?....

::>_

Q_Q

Sya yung lalaking kasama ni Price na tumatakbo sa loob ng music room kung saan tinuturuan ako ni Mr. Matt.

... speechless pa rin ako.

All this time kilala pala ako ni Prof. Kaya pala Ms. Seichelle ang lagi nyang tawag sakin samantalang Ms. Amaro ako kung i-address ng iba kong teachers.

"So alam nyo po kung nasaan si Price?" I asked.

Biglang lumungkot ang mukha nya. May mali ba akong nasabi?

He took a long deep breath.

"Yup," he anwered shortly.

Napangiti ako.

"But I doubt kung makikita mo pa sya," he added.

"What do you mean sir? Umalis po ba sya ng bansa? Nasa Italy? New York? Africa? Libya?" I horridly asked.

Teka ano naman ang gagawin nya sa Libya? Eh may gyera dun??

Pero kahit saan pa sya pumunta susundan ko sya. Kung kinakailangan ko lang bumalik kela lolo para lang malibot ko ang mundo, gagawin ko. Miss ko na talaga si Price eh.

"Maraming nangyari sa buhay naming dalawa simula noong makita ka namin. Well, his life especially. You are such a very popular person that everyone would be dying to know you. And since nakilala ka ni Price, his life was never been stable."

Anong pinagsasabi ni Prof? Naguguluhan ako. Ang pagkakatanda ko eh tinatanong ko lang kung saan lupalop ng mundo sya naroroon.

"Price loves you, Seichelle." Nang pagkasabi nya nan, bigla na lang tumulo ang luha ko. Kinabahan ako bigla. Parang ayoko nang ituloy ang pakikinig kay Prof.

".. he loves you so much that he'd willingly do anything and everything for your safety."

Mahal ako ni Price?? Bakit di man lang nya sinabi sakin. Kaya ba sya umalis nang di nagpapaalam kasi mahal nya ako?

Teka lang ang gulo..

"Kilala mo diba ang kuya ni Daniel?" He said, waiting for confirmation.

So I nodded.

He looked straight to my eyes then spoke to me the words I wish I'd never hear.

"Si Price at si Preston Icelle ay iisa"

"Tell me Prof you're kidding right? Napaka implosible namang si Price ay si kuya Preston!!" I said as tears flowing down on my cheeks.

I tried to deny it. But he kept on shaking his head as a 'no' response.

"Prof. ano bang problema nyo ha?! Napaka implosible kasi eh!! IMPOSIBLE!!! Patay na yung kuya ni Daniel!! Patay na!!! Kaya hindi sya si Price!!!!" Sumisigaw na ako. Nagbabakasakaling magising sya sa kalokohan nya.

"Seichelle, patay na si Price!" He said. I could see in his face that he looked hurt.

Patay na si Price??

I swore to you I really wanted to curse in all languages that I know. Kaso di ko magawa. All I could do was to cry in pain.

Crap.

Tell me this was a bad dream! Tell me I was just having a very bad bad dream!!!

Hindi pwedeng patay na si Price!!! Hindi!!!

"P-prof," I almost speak in inaudibly. "Hindi patay si Price, hindi sya pwedeng maging si kuya Preston. Naaksidente si Kuya Preston almost two years ago. Naiintindihan nyo ba yun ha?"

I could not feel my feet anymore. I felt like I was floating or gravity had lost its hold on mine.

"Price died in a car accident going two years now. To be exact, he died on a race track-competing. The world was in shocked upon hearing the news. For he is known to be one of the greatest racer today. People call him 'Shadow Starring'," he told me.

Price was a racer? How come he didn't told me that.

Sa tingin ba ni sir paniniwalan ko ang sinasabi nya? Wala naman nabanggit si Price na racer sya eh.

"I was there Seichelle when the accident happened. Daniel and I were there. We saw it," he uttered.

I stumbled on the floor, crying.

Half of me was trying to convince myself that he mybe was saying the truth. For he never had any reason to trick me.

But the other part of me was hoping it was all a big fat lie.

But knowing Prof. Delicio, he'll never do a prank over his friend.

"Will you take me to him now?" I sobbed.

I never cried this hard all my life.

♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

I almost cried while typing this chapter.

Preston Icelle is Price.

Sorry guys, I never really like to kill one of my characters but I have to.
