Hunstman Series #:9- The Innocent Daughter

Chapter 18

ERIN POV'S:
#Pagkabahala

"Fucking shit! Raquel! Where are you!" I was stopped at the first stair of the ladder when a shout came from Colosas echoed at the corner our house, for me to look at his direction.

I saw him tweaking his hair with both hands like a crazy street man. He was half naked and fresh from sleep.

What happened? Why he's shouting the name of his girlfriend?

"Anak, hindi din namin namalayan ang pag-alis ni Raquel." Mom said while she's trying to calm my brother. "Sabi din ng mga bodyguards sa labas na hindi din nila napansin si Raquel na lumabas." She continued.

Is Raquel gone? Why?

Magaan pa man ang loob ko sa kaniya kase sobrang bait niya at mahinhin pa ang kilos, ang cute kase niya tingnan.

"Dad, I need your help— I know you're an expert on this." He begged help on our Dad, who's setting on the sofa with his cool and calm awra. Prente pa siyang nakahilig.

"Son, give her space for now to think and do the right decisions. It's for your own good too. Don't rush into a relationship that one is hasty and other is perplexedly." Our Dad commented.

The words of Dad made him stop and think. And after a few seconds, he sighed. Parang galit na galit ang mukha ni Colosas na ngayon ko lang nakita. This side of him is new to me.

"Pero hindi ako mapakali, Dad! Gusto ko siyang sundan at ibalik dito!" Muli na naman naghisterikal. "Medyo mahina ang loob ni Raquel at wala akong tiwala sa mga desisyon niya. Baka kung ano ang gawin niya matapos ang nangyari sa amin! Argh, Fuck!"

Galit pa na mura niya. He's really angry that Raquel was gone. I don't want to think but she maybe have her reason to leave without knowing him.

"Trust her. Trust your girlfriend and give her reason to trust you."

Hm? Narinig ko na 'yata iyon?

Mahinahon pa din na komento ni Dad. Ilang beses ko ng narinig ang marahas na paghinga ni Colosas.

Nagpatuloy ako sa hakbang ko with my bag at my shoulder. Napatingin naman sila sa akin at kita ko na agad ang pagtaas ng kilay ni Daddy. Pag-uwi ko kase kagabi ay tulog na siya sabi ni Mom. Sinadya ni Mommy..

"Good morning." Nakangiti na bungad ko bago tingnan ang kapatid ko. "It's true that Raquel is gone?"

"Sis, hindi ka naman siguro bingi?" Masungit na sagot niya sa akin at umikot pa ang mga mata sa inis.

Aww! Ugali ng isang Hunstman kapag iniwan ng mahal niyang babae sa kama.. lalo pa kapag nabibitin..

"Napakapossessive mo kase—"

"Shut up!"

"Aray!" I winced when one pillow thrown abruptly at my face, in conjunction with his laughter. "Ah ganun ha!" I thrown back the pillow on his face but he already averted his position while still laughing at me.

"Tsk! You need your daily check-up! Malabo na mga mata mo, Sis!"

Napairap ako at akma pang itatapon ang bag ko nang marinig ang pagsuway ni Dad sa amin.

"That's enough." His deep and baritone voice made us to stop. My brother smirked at me and I just rolled my eyes back. "Caroline."

Tawag ni Dad na kinatingin ko sa kaniya. He was serious and his eyes piercing mine, I gulp in a quiet motion as I bite my lower lip.
