CHASE'S POV

Andito kami ngayon sa tambayan and my beautiful nurse here is taking care of me like I'm a fragile glass.

"Take some rest." Sabi ko.

"You first." Sagot niya.

She can be really scary and frustrating sometimes, but I like it.

"Edi sabay na tayo." Sagot ko tsaka hinila siya papunta sa tabi ko kaya ngayon pati siya nakahiga na rin sa kama.

"Baka matamaan ko yang pasa mo." Mahinahon niyang banggit.

"Hindi yan. Just relax so I can too." Sabi ko tsaka siya inkbay as if I'm protecting her from everything, I want to make her feel safe whenever she's with me.

"Ara..?" Paggising ko ay wala na si Ara sa tabi ko.

Pumasok sa loob ng kwarto si Collin.

"Bro, Ara told me to give you this when you wake up." Inabot niya sakin ang pagkain at tubig.

"Where is she?" Tanong ko

"I don't know, this was the only thing she gave to me and I didn't see her leave too."

Never namang aalis si Ara ng hindi nagpapaalam.

Tumayo agad ako sa kama at kinuha ang cellphone ko.

[Hello?]

"Ara, where are you?"

[Oh uhm, sinamahan ko lang si, si, si Devon! Sinamahan ko si Devon sa shop ni Autumn.]

"Tapos, di ka nagpaalam?"

[Nagmamadali kasi siya eh, I'll just text you.]

"Sige, be safe okay?"

What's with the tone of her voice? She sounds nervous, that's really odd.

But I trust her enough not to make suspicions.

Bumababa na ako galing sa kwarto, andun lahat sa sala nanonood ng tv.

"Is Hart still not here?"

"Nope, I don't know where that guy is, he better show himself to school tomorrow." Sagot sakin ni Collin na katabi ni Gil.

"Ulol talaga yung lalaking yun ang daming pasikreto"

"Wag niyo na nga siyang pakealaman, kung babalik yan, edi babalik yan" sagot ni Mark.

At lahat naman silang nandito ay sumangayon.

"Where is Ara by the way?" tanong ni Ten.

"She said she was with Devon in Autumn's shop" I said.

"With Devon? But I just texted her, she was at home." said Collin.

Ano?
