Chapter 61: Empty

*Hazel's POV*

"Henry?" sabay sa ngiti ko ang pagkagulat. I even removed my shades to check if I'm really seeing him.

"Hazel." He showed me his white teeth as he smiled.

"you... what are you doing here?" parang gusto kong kumanta sa saya. First it's Sheena who'll be picking us up and now I'm seeing Henry again. I don't know his magic pero masaya ako na lagi siyang sumusulpot ng bigla-bigla lang.

"I'm here to pick you up." Sabi niya at hinawakan niya ako sa braso.

"wait. Ikaw? Si Sheena ang kukuha sa amin." Sabi ko.

"ah... yes. But she's not coming." He said, not looking at me.

"you know her?" tanong ko.

"yes. Ahmm we really need to go."

"wait. My brother's still there, he's waiting for me." Sabi ko. He stared at me for a second, then he glanced at my brother who's been checking his watch. "Henry?" napatingin ako ulit kay Henry.

"don't go to your brother."

"why not?" napatingin ako ulit kay Kuya Roro and surprised to see that Sheena's already there. "oh look, yung sundo ko nandoon na."

"no!" singhal niya nang lalakad na sana ako papunta sa kanila.

"what's wrong with you?" my eyes turned into slits as I gazed at Henry.

"follow me." Hindi pa man ako pumapayag ay kinaladkad na ako ni Henry.

"wait! I need to go back!" sigaw ko. I tried to get off his hands pero mahigpit ang pagkakahawak niya.

"don't." bigla siyang tumigil at tinignan ako. "look, Sheena's not a good person. We need to get to Clash now before everything gets ugly. Understand?"

"what's happening?" napatingin ako ulit kina Sheena at Kuya Roro. I gasped. Goodness gracious! Is she Sheena? Hindi ko napansin kanina yung damit na suot niya. She's my friend... but her dress shouts the word slut in every angle. I knew her for her simplicity and brains but... is she seducing my brother? Nakalingkis na ang kamay niya sa braso ng Kuya ko.

"okay." Kinuha ni Henry ang phone niya sa bulsa at may kinausap. I wasn't able to hear the conversation dahil busy ako sa pag-check kina Kuya at Sheena. "Hazel."

Napatingin naman ako kay Henry. "what's really happening?" tanong ko sa kaniya.

May babaeng biglang dumating. Wait, I know her... yung babaeng paparazzi. Yung nakita kong pini-picture-an si Clash at oo! Yung babaeng nakita ko sa cr na may dalang dslr cam. "Hazel?" sabi niya.

"you..." tinuro ko siya at tinignan ko si Henry. Magkakilala sila?

"get her to the car and I'll be the one to go to Sheena." Sabi ng babae kay Henry.

"right. Let's go." Sabi ni Henry. Umalis na yung babae at pumunta kina Sheena. Agad naman akong hinawakan ni Henry at tumakbo kami papunta sa kotse niya.

"I'll answer all your questions once we leave the airport." Sabi ni Henry at pinagbuksan niya ako ng pinto.

I was hesitating... pero hindi ko alam kung bakit ang laki ng tiwala ko sa kaniya. "okay..." he better have a good reason for these. Sumakay na ako ng kotse niya and he drove our way out of the airport.
