Chapter 77
Vienesse POV
I got into the nearest ATM machine on the way to the hospital. Si klein ang nasa likod ko.
Tumakbo ako papuntang St. Mary's hospital. Tumakbo kaming papuntang nurse station.
"Nasaang ward si Crassie Lee?"magalang na tanong ko sa nurse. She typed something on her computer.
"Nasa operating room pa po ang pasyente"sabi niya ng makita ang records.
I thanked her and proceded on the ward. Nasa left wing ng hospital ang ward. Nadatnan naming kinakausap ni Farrah ang isa sa mga nurse.
Hindi pa naipapasok ang bata. Mas priority nila ang mga mamayaman. Nilapitan ko siya.
"Let me handle this Farrah"niyakap ko siya at pinapunta sa kapatid niya.
"I'm sorry po maam. Hindi po maooperahan ang pasyente kapag walang down payment"patuloy na paliwanag ng babae.
"Kung pera lang pala ang gusto niyo hindi na sana kayo gumawa ng ospital"galit kong sabi sa kanya.
"Sorry! Maam pero protocol po ito"kinuha ko ang perang iwi-nidraw ko sa bangko at isinapal sa mukha ng nurse. Nahulog ang bugkos ng pera sa sahig.
"If anything happens to Crassie. You crocks would pay with this big time. This is a matter of life and death and yet pera parin ang mahalaga sa inyo. Now, if you need more money I would be happy to slap it again in your face"then, I gave her a cold stare that made her shiver.
"Sorry po talaga Maam"hindi ang mga ito magkakandaugaga sa pag-asiste sa bata papuntang OR.
Maluluha luha na ang nurse sa ginawa ko. Tss. This people never learn. They need more lessons in bitchyness.
"I don't know what to do if you hadn't come along"niyakap niya ulit ako.
"I know you would do the same if I were in the same situation. So brush off your tears. Nothing bad would happen to Crassie"sabi ko sa kanya.
Tumunog ang telepono ko. Unregistered ang caller.
"Who are you"kalmado kong sabi sa kanya. I feel alerted. Is it danger I can smell.
"I will get Klein soon and my revenge Ms. Adams won't be that sweet"sabi ng nasa kabilang linya. They are using an equipment that changes the voice of the caller.
"Damn it"ibinaba agad ng caller ang telepono. Nakuyom ko ang kamao. I know it wasn't some frank caller. I had a hunch Fleance is back.
I can't let my guard down. Not know. Mabilis na hinanap ko si Klein. I feel relieved ng makita kong kasama niya si Farrah.
May iniabot akong sobre sa kanya. It is worth 50 thousand. Ang ibinigay ko sa kanya ay 100 thousand.
6:30 AM
I was in bed. Sleeping soundly. When we got from the party, they were playing games. So we decided to tag along.
It was already 2:00 in the morning when we got home from the party. I can feel someone kiss me on the cheek.
I opened my eyes and saw Klein.
"How did you get in?"binalot ko ang katawan ko ng kumot.
"I would do anything I want"nilapitan niya ako. He was only inches away from me.
"Don't dare to take another step"tumakbo ako papalayo sa kanya pero medyo inaantok pa ako kaya nabuwal ako sa kama.
"Are you afraid of me?"inilapit niya ang mukha sa akin. Pilit ko siyang itinutulak.
"I am not. It's just that I am not ready to what you are planning to do"medyo nanginngimi pa ako. I am not ready for love making.
Kiniliti niya ako.
"What were you thinking? Eon just called by now just to tell the shoot starts at 8:00. May balak ka no?"he was taunting me. Kiniliti niya ako sa tagiliran.
"Wala no?"hinampas ko siya ng unan at nauna na sa banyo. Tututol pa sana siya ng isara ko ang pinto.
He groaned outside.
