Chasing Her (On-Going)

Chapter 27 - Always

After that night, Frances never reported to work. I heard from Kimo na pinipilit niya si Frances to go back to work pero hindi niya makumbinsi.

"Give him a rest, Kimo. Hayaan mo muna siyang mag-unwind." I said while typing something on my laptop.

I heard her sigh. Frances started to live with Kimo. Oh, 'di ba? Malalandi.

I was too busy with my files and documents for the final Accounts of Purchase ng Big Project. Inaasikaso ko na lahat bago pa matapos ang pagfifinish ng lahat. After that, I'll be contacting someone for the furnitures.

"You think, I need to contact Atty. Torre for the furnitures?" Tanong ko sa babaeng nakayuko sa mesa habang nagtitipa sa cellphone niya. "Hey!"

She was about to answer but my phone ring. Napataas ang kilay ko bago tinignan 'yon. I was working at home because I feel sick.

"Who's calling? 'Yung client ba?" Tanong agad ni Kimo.

Sole Rylee is calling...

"No. It's Sole." Ani ko kaya napaayos siya ng upo.

They haven't called or showed up after the night of Frances bursting up. Hindi rin ako nakakareceive sa kanila ng kahit ano. I felt something is wrong but I never contacted them about that.

"Oh, buti naman naisip nilang tawagan ka?" Nakangising sabi ni Kimo.

Even her, she find it weird na biglang natahimik ang tatlo about sa 'kin.

"I'm just gonna answer this. Excuse me." Tumayo ako bago siya tumango at bumalik sa cellphone niya.

I finally answered his calls and I heard a loud music sa background. Is he outside?

"Hey! This is Matt, Sole's cousin. I'm with him. He's been drinking a lot and lagi kang binabanggit." Bungad ng tumawag sa 'kin.

My brows furrowed. He's been drinking?

"Where is he now?" Tanong ko bago sinapo ang ulo.

"Actually, nasa bar kami ngayon and he's already passed out. I have some errands to do so naisip kong tawagan 'yung name na lagi niyang binabanggit. Can you come over?" Halatang nahihirapan ito dahil sa pagdaing niya. "Bro, don't throw up! Umayos ka ng tayo."

I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. Tumango ako at hiningi ang location nila. When I received it, pumasok agad ako sa loob at dumiretso sa kwarto ko.

"Hoy, saan ka pupunta?" Sigaw ni Kimo bago ako sinundan.

"Susunduin ko si Sole, he's passed out." Banggit ko kaya napanganga siya.

"Huh?! Baliw ba siya? Hindi ka nga niya tinatawagan o tinetext tapos ngayong droge siya, ikaw iistorbohin niya?!" Gigil na sabi ni Kimo. "Nako, sinasabi ko sayo, Sabrina Ynelle!"

Huminga ako ng malalim bago tumingin sa kan'ya at nagtaas ng kilay.

"That's why I'm going to pick him up. I'll ask him about that." hindi ko na siya pinansin at kinuha ang susi nh kotse ko.

"Sabrina!" Tawag ni Kimo pero sumakay lang ako sa kotse at binigyan siya ng masamang tingin.

"You started this, Kimo. Ikaw ang nagbigay sa 'kin ng idea na bigyan sila ng chance. Now, I'm hoping from them. I'll be going now, lock the house!"

I drove my way to the location Matt gave me. While I'm driving, parang may mabigat sa dibdib ko na gustong kumawala. I don't know what is that. I don't know why I'm feeling it but I let that bother me.
