CHAPTER 14: XIAN'S DISAPPEARNCE

SHIN ELIAZER'S POV

Masaya akong nakikipagkamay sa mga kasosyo ng pamilya namin sa negosyo. I was with my brothers. Si mama naman umuwi ng maaga at lilipad pa siya papuntang England para sa business trip.

"S-Shin." Napasinghap ako ng makita ang hitsura ni Lesha. Madumi ang sout niyang gown at medyo may punit. Hawak nito ang kaliwa niyang braso. Matamis ang ngiti niya pero mas lalong nagtagis ang aking bagang ng makitang namamaga at may pasa ang kaniyang mukha.

"What happened to you?" Nagaalala kong tanong. Tiningnan ko ang mga kapatid ko pero seryuso lamang silang nakatingin samin.

"Let's go home." Tumango naman ako at agad siyang tinulungan. Aalis na sana kami ng biglang dumating ang asungot sa buhay ko.

"Mr. Dela Costa have you notice where Xian go?" He asked me. I tss bakit sakin niya hinahanap ang babaeng yun?

"I'm sorry Mr. Montecillio but I have no business with her." Galit niya akong kinwelyuhan pagkatapos ng sinabi ko.

"Yes you have because you are the husband. If bad happen to her it's your responsibility as her husband." Tinulak ko naman to. Inayos ko ang aking necktie.

"Look Mr. Montecillio I have no business with her. We are just married in the papers. If you worry her that much then I'm not the one who's responsible for lost and found item." Dahil sa sinabi ko ay kusang gumalaw ang kamao niya at lumanding ito sa mukha ko.

Nasa labas kami kaya walang ibang nandito kung hindi kami lang. My brothers did nothing, nakatingin lamang sila. I look at them and tss.

"F*ck you Dela Costa if anything bad happen to my cousin you'll pay your b*llsh*ts *ss assh*le." He said. Natigilan ako, cousin? Their cousins? I thought he was Xian's lover?

"Keep calm Mr. Montecillio kailan lang ba siya nawala?" Tanong ni Sin sa kaniya. Huminga naman siya ng malalim.

"An hour ago." Tiningnan ko naman si Lesha ng manginig ito. Maybe because of her wounds. Dinaluhan ko naman siya at inalalayan.

"I have some important matter to do, if you'll excuse me. And Mr. Montecillio you're exagerating too much isang oras palang siyang nawala baka umuwi nayon." I said at naglakad paalis. But before I could get my ass off I heard what he say.

"No, I can't say that she go home. I couldn't contact her and someone found her bag far away from this mansion." Nagiinarte lang yun. But I wonder where did she go.

***

"Arghh Shin hindi ka ba tinawagan ni Xian?" Umirap ako. They're panicking as h*ll.

"No." Matigas kong sagot ilang beses na nilang tinanong sakin yan. And Lesha is already sleeping to our room.

"Contact her parents big bro and her friends name Astrea." Sean said. I look at them boringly. Uuwi din ang babaeng yun gaya ng palagi niyang ginagawa kapag nakikita niyang kasama ko si Lesha.

"I already did that but they said they haven't in contact with her." Stress na sabi ni Sin. Ngumisi ako at tumingin sa kanila.

"Oh baka naman kasi sumama sa lalaki niya? It just been 3 hours since she's gone and you worry her that much." Nagtagis ang bagang ni Sin at tiningnan ako ng masama.

"Naririnig mo ba ang sinasabi mo ha Shin? She's your f*cking wife for godness sake. Could you atleast show some f*cking concern atleast?" Kinwelyuhan ako nito. Tahimik namang nakaupo si Sean sa katabing upuan.

"We can't report this to the police dahil wala pa namang 24 hours. Pero nakakapagtaka lang kasi na hindi siya makontak. At isa pa sister Xian isn't that type of person na mawawala ng walang pasabi." He said seriously. Anong alam niyo? Palagi niya yang ginawa.

"Butler Jong?" Lumapit naman agad si butlet Jong sakin.

"Take a look on Lesha on how she's doing." Yumuko ito bago umalis. Tumingin naman ako sa mga kapatid kong masamang nakatingin sakin.

"Magsisi ka sa pinaggagawa mo Shin. I hope there's nothing bad happen to Xian kasi kung merun man? Ako na mismo ang maglalayo kay Xian sayo hindi ka niya deserve. You're such an assh*le. Nagpapauto sa ahas." With that he left and Sean followed him.

"I second the motion Big Bro Sin.Big bro Shin need a hard punch on his face so that he can see the truth. Such an id*ot." And they're gone. What the hell are they up to? And what the hell are they saying?
