The MANCINI Flower- CS #2

🍀HER DOUBTS🍀

21

Tumunog ang alarm clock sa oras na kanyang piniling mag jogging. She wanted to make a good impression so here she was wanting to be in shape again. She needs to sweat out all the negative vibes inside her body, lalo na nitong mga nakaraang araw na sobrang tensyonado nya dahil kaba. She just couldn't help but to entertain thoughts that are not important and  are irrelevant to her goals, on their goals actually, tulad nalang ang asawa nya.

Natigil sya at pinakawalan ang malalim na hininga dahil nagawa naman nyang isingit sa isip ang asawa, lately it became her habit, and it's so frustrating for her. Bago bumangon ay iginulong nya muna ang sarili sa kama na parang bata.

"this is not you, Arabella!" she murmured annoyingly to herself before getting up from the bed groaning.

After getting ready ay agad na syang lumabas ng silid. She's wearing a very warm jogging pants na may katernong sweater, kaya alam nyang makakaya nya ang lamig sa labas. Kasama niya ngayon si Manang kaya napagpasyahan niyang puntahan ito sa silid nito sa baba. Kahit na nasa loob ng villa she still greeted by the chilling air of the morning, but she didn't bother at all dahil ang goal niya ngayon ay ang tumakbo.

She didn't bring any phone with her kaya sya na mismo ang pupunta sa silid ni Manang to check on her. May usapan kasi silang sabay tatakbo. She was about knock on Manang's door nang nakita nitang bahagya na itong bukas.

"Manang?" she called her before knocking.

Walang sagot na nagmula dito kaya nagtaka siya. Alam niyang may edad na ito, kaya kinabahan siyang may nangyari sa matanda sa loob. She sneaked in but was stopped when she saw another woman inside. She immediately retrieve her steps right on track and got out. What puzzled her was that the woman was wearing Manang's dress yet  she saw how beautiful the woman's body was.

"Maam Bella! good morning!" agad itong ngumiti sa kanya at kumilos na parang matanda talaga.

'who are really?'

Lihim syang nainis sa sarili, she's now doubting her own judgement for a good character, and because of that she stupidly let her guard down, hindi niya namalayang may nakalapit na pala sa kanya. Tuloy hindi nya alam kung mapagkakatiwalaan niya paba ito. Bakit hindi nya nahalata ito? She's trained for all of this sort of disguise!. Bumuntong hininga sya, at nanamlay ang buong katawan.

"wait manang i forgot something!" pilit syang ngumiti at dali-daling umakyat sa itaas. She dialed her phone and called one of her brother, ang alam nya nasa Roma ang isang iyon."Jannoh, i need you to track this person for me!"

"wait..wha..what?" naalimpungatang sagot naman ng kanyang kapatid."it's only five in morning sorella! may problema kaba?"

"please listen, i need an information about this woman, okay?" nagmamadali niyang sabi. "I'll already sent you the details, call me if you found out anything unsual, bye!"

May limang na niyang naibaba ang cellphone niya, but she's still on the daze. She was praying about the opposite, dahil ayaw niyang mawalan ng sariling katiwala. Wala sa isip na hinawakan nya ang singsing na bigay ng kanyang ina. It has a tracking device on it, at kung ano man ang mangyari ay madali syang mahahanap ng mga ito. She can't let the past repeat again.

"calm down Bella! you can do this!" sabi nya sa sarili, bago lumabas, but she's startled when she saw her husband outside her room."Dio mio! My god! what is your problem!" inis nyang hinarap ang asawa na hindi natinag sa napalakas nyang boses."you scared the hell out of me!"

She didn't get to run that morning, instead she texted Manang or the woman that she not feeling well all of a sudden, pero ang totoo hinihintay niya lang ang tawag ng kapatid niya si Alejannoh. She couldn't run with someone na pinagduduhanan niya. She will never going to take that risk. Napabuntong hininga siya at kinuha ang files na kahapon pa niya paulit na binabasa. Dapat sanang walang magiging destruction sa event niyang idinaos but she couldn't helped it but to get distracted. Her phone chooses to ring when she was now decided to review the papers again.
