Splintered Hearts 1: Quinten Coen [COMPLETED]

Chapter 32

Yesh yawned as she stretched her body. She groaned as she turned to her side and slowly opened her eyes. She just stared at the wall for a few minutes like a statue before stretching her body once again and sitting on the bed.

Napapapikit-pikit pa siya as she roamed her eyes around her room. Nang mapansin niyang wala si Quint sa kwarto ay tumayo siya at naglakad papalapit kay Bear na nagngangatngat ng maliit na bola.

"Hello baby. Good morning." Yesh stated in a high pitched voice as she picked Bear up and kissed his head before putting him back on the floor and then she headed towards the bathroom.

Naghilamos at sipilyo lamang siya bago siya lumabas at muling lumapit kay Bear at binuhat ito. Nangingiting naglakad siya patungo sa kama at muling humiga dito at inilapag si Bear sa dibdib niya. Bear licked her chin which made her giggle.

"Where's your dad? Do you know where he is? Di he go to work already?" Pagkausap nito sa tuta at mahinang natawa.

"You're so cute!" Nanggigigil na sambit niya rito at may narinig naman siyang tumawa kaya napalingon siya.

"Why are you asking him? Kahit anong tanong mo diyan, hindi 'yan sasagot." Natatawang sambit ni Quint at naglakad ito palapit sa kaniya.

"Good morning schatz." Bati nito at yumukod at hinalikan siya sa noo.

"Good morning. Are you off to work na?" Tanong niya at tumango naman ang binata sa kaniya.

Nakasuot ito ng puting polo at hawak nito sa kaliwang kamay ang coat nitong kulay itim.

Naiiling naman siyang bumangon sa pagkakahiga at ibinaba si Bear sa sahig bago tumayo sa harapan ng binata.

"Fix your tie, my God. Ano ka? Sutil na estudyante?" Pangangaral niya sa binata habang inaayos niya ang tie nito. His tie was so loose na para bang sinadya itong hilain ng binata.

"I don't like wearing these goddamn clothes. May imi-meet lang akong bagong investor kaya ko 'to suot." Simangot na sambit naman nito kaya natawa siya.

"Tutal suot mo na, ayusin mo." She said as she tapped the knot that she made.

"I don't know kung anong oras ako makakauwi dito later, hindi ko alam kung anong oras ako matatapos sa trabaho." Sambit ni Quint sa kaniya kaya naman tumango siya.

"Alright. Ingat sa pagmamaneho. Eyes on the road." Paalala niya rito at ngumiti naman ito dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Roger that."

Yesh was silently watching a vlog when her phone suddenly rang. And when she saw the name of the caller id, a big smile plastered on her lips and she quickly aswered the call.

"Chase Leo! I missed you!" Masayang bati niya sa kaibigan at narinig niya namang napatawa ito.

"And I missed you too." May bakas ng pagtawa ang salita nito.

"Where are you? I'm on my way to your house. May dinaanan ako dito sa Pilipinas so I'll go back to Australia later at night. Wanna have dinner together?" Tanong nito sa kaniya at kaagad naman siyang napatayo sa pagkakaupo niya.

"Yes! Just come in when you arrived. Magshashower lang ako ng mabilis." Masayang sagot niya naman dito.

"Alright. I'll see you later."

Yesh hurried her way to the bathroom and took the quickest bath of her life. Ilang taon na mula nang huli niyang nakita si Chase. Ang huling kita pa niya rito ay noong ikinasal si Light.

She was brushing her hair when someone knocked on her bedroom door kaya naman kaagad siyang umimik.

"Come in."
