In My Blood

Chapter 19

Unrigestered number

Nathalia's POV

Because of what happened they suspended the class for few days. Walang kaalam alam ang mga studyante ng Walker University na may kababalaghang nangyayari. They only just knew it's a crime made by human, but the truth is it is made by immortal.

Siguro kung hindi ko pa nalaman kung anong klase si Adrian ay isa rin ako sa mga studyante na ang iniisip ay tao ang pumatay kila Dianne at Anjanette.

I came back to my sense when my phone suddenly rang. Maging si Adrian ay napatingin sa cellphone kong nag ring.

Bago umalis kanina sila Mom, Dad, Ate at Kuya ko ay andito na siya. I asked why he was here and his answer was to keep an eye on me. Like dzuh, diba dapat andun siya sa kanila para tumulong sa paghahanap ng pumapatay? Pero ayos na yan, gusto ko rin naman.

We are here now in the living room watching. Kuya Nathan is in his room. Sa Walker University din naman siya nag-aaral kaya kabilang siya sa mga walang pasok. Kami lang natira dito ni Kuya kabilang na rin si Adrian. Nagsipunta sa trabaho ang magulang at mga kapatid ko eh.

Nung nalaman nila Mommy at Daddy ang nangyari ay pumayag sila na dapat wala munang pasok dahil baka may studyanteng mapahamak. They were worried about students of Walker University, especially to me and Kuya. They even told us to move to another school, but Kuya and I refused it.

Lalo na ako, hindi ko alam kung bakit may malaking parte sa akin na pumipigil na para bang kalahati ng parte ng katawan ko ang mawawala sa ideyang lilipat ako ng school.

'Sus ayaw mo lang malayo kay Adrian eh!'

So eto na back to reality.

I picked up my cellphone on the center table. I frowned when I saw the unrigestered number calling, even Adrian frowned.

When I was about to answer it, it suddenly stopped from ringing. 'Huh?'

"Sino naman kaya 'to?" ilalapag ko na sana ang phone ko sa center table para sana bumalik na sa panonood ngunit bigla ulit iyong nag-ring. Nang sasagutin ko na sana ulit ang unrigestered number na tumatawag na 'to ay biglang namatay ulit. "Is this caller playing with me?" naiinis na sabi ko saka inilapag na sa center table ang phone ko.

Hindi na muling tumunog iyon kaya nanood nalang kami. Pero hindi parin maalis ang pagtataka ko kung sino ang tumawag at bakit siya tumatawag.

Napansin siguro ni Adrian na panay ang lingon ko sa cellphone ko kaya pinulot niya iyon. I approached him to find out what he would do. My cellphone doesn't have a password so he opened it.

Pumunta siya sa recent call saka idinial yung unrigestered number na 'yon. But he dialed a few times on that unrigestered number and it still didn't answer.

Adrian quickly took his phone out of his pocket and using my phone he texted or sent that unrigestered number to his number.

Nang matanggap niya ang text na galing sa cellphone ko ay nakita ko namang dinial niya ang number ng Daddy niya dahil nakita ko sa call name ang nakalagay ay "Dad".

"Hello, Dad?" he started. "Can you do something for me?.... Someone called Nathalia's phone and it is unrigestered number... Whenever Nathalia would pick up the phone the call would stop... Yes, Dad. I tried to dial that number but the phone was always saying 'can't reach'.... Yes, Dad, copy. I'll send you the number, can you please trace who's the person behind this number? Hindi maganda ang kutob ko dito.... Thanks, Dad. Bye." after the call I saw him typed something in his phone before looking at me. I think he sent the number to his Dad. "Change your simcard later, please?" he said, he looks like worried.
