Two Ghosts

Chapter 22 - Clue

OR AT ME?

GOSH, I'M JUST HALLUCINATING. I think naman after what happened earlier, after she apologized, i think medyo ilalayo nya na 'yung feelings nya sa'kin, diba? Tsaka, professional si Zoe. Hindi naman sya lalandi while we're working.

Mamaya, sasabihan uli kami ni Zoe sa mga pwede naming sabihin at bawal naming sabihin, during the first presscon with the casts.

Parang karaoke night 2.0 ah.

Pano ba naman kasi, nag trending rin kasi 'yung unofficial interview samin dun kagabi.

Kaya rin siguro biglaang nagpa-presscon.

Tatanungin ko si manager Chris about this. Sila-sila rin naman kasi nag-usap about this, or di kaya may umaya sakanila and nag offer ng malaki, para mapabilis 'yung first presscon namin with the cast.

Hindi pa rin kasi dapat ir-reveal 'yung cast nung series, kaso wala na kaming magagawa eh. Kalat na.

Also, New Year raw ang balik ni Jea from the states.

That's good rin, para makapag dinner date kami and buena noche.

I should definitely jump pagka-12 midnight na.

I'm so tired of being small. Lagi nalang akong nahaharangan ni Jea kapag nasa likuran nya ako.

Bumalik na kami sa hotel after. Grabe, nakakapagod sobra.

Right now, hindi kami magkasama ni Jea sa iisang hotel room. Maybe she's just tired like me, and that's okay.

10 minutes pa lang akong nakahiga, pero may nag-doorbell na. I decided to check it out kung sino para maka-balik na ako sa paghiga sa bed at makapag-pahinga na rin.

Para matapos na agad, ganon.

Pagka-tingin ko sa peephole, si Zoe pala. She's holding a bond paper, and i don't know kung ano 'yun.

I opened the door.

"Oh Zoe, what is it?" Tanong ko, with a tired sound of my voice. "Here oh, kabisaduhin nyo na." She handled me the white bond paper and binasa ko habang nagsasalita sya.

Oh, i forgot. Nakasulat rito 'yung mga pwede naming sabihin at mga bawal naming sagutin.

Well, so far so good naman and i don't have a problem with this.

"Is that all, Zoe?" Medyo rude kong tanong sakanya. I'm so freaking tired na rin kasi. Maybe that's why ganyan 'yung tono ko.

"A-ah yes, sorry to disturb you, Jane." I nodded and closed the door.

All i want is to rest. Iniisip ko lang ngayon ay mag-pahinga.

Pagka-higa ko ulit, bigla nalang akong nakonsensya. Pero may dapat ba talaga akong ika-konsensya?

Wala.

Ano kaya 'yung nakalimutan ni Jea sa states na sobrang importante at kailangan nya pa balikan, during work?

Gosh, ito na naman po si overthink. But i won't let it eat me now. Masyado akong pagod para dyan.

"Good morning Jane and Janella, tatawagin nalang po kayo mamaya para lumabas. Dun po 'yung seat nyong dalawa." The mall staff said, while he's pointing kung saan kami uupo.

Sa gitna, as usual. And magkatabi.

'yung medyo pagtataray ko kay Zoe? Well, hindi naman actually "pagtataray" 'yun. It's just the normal way how to react kung pagod ka and nagpapahinga, tapos may umistorbo.
