Beyond the Unplanned Love

Chapter 43: Emergency

Alex's POV

I went to UST the next day since we had a lot of things to do in our organization. Pasa ng papeles dito, papirma kay ganito, bili ng ganito, punta sa ganito. Nakakapagod at nakakstress na, lalo na yung iba ayaw pang gumalaw.

Hi Alex. I'm sorry, I was about to ask you to company me tonight for the UAAP Night, kaya lang si Axel kasi. :| He wants to go daw, eh I only have a spare ticket.

To: Thomas Torres

Crazy mo. It's okay no. Baka nga I can't come din kasi nandito pa ako UST, cramming hihi. You guys have fun, okay? Tell Axel, hinay hinay lang sa girls. :)

From: Thomas Torres

I'll see you next time okay? You deserve to smile, Alex. Have a great day!

So there will be a party later for the athlete. Anyway, I still have no time for that since we still have many errands to do.

Fortunately, natapos din yung meeting and preparation by 6 pm. (Thankfully!) I got home around 7:30 pm. Manila's traffic is killing me, kahit saan traffic. Nakakastress.

I decide to skip dinner kasi medyo pagod na rin ako and nag heavy merienda naman kami. And when I say heavy merienda, I meant it. 3 boxes of pizza, plus mojos, plus chicken, plus fries. I had a quick bath and pull my nighters on. I just want to get a good rest. Walang iniintindi, walang sakit ng ulo.

I lay on my bed after I fixed myself. It was already almost 8 pm so I felt a bit sleepy. My body felt weak. I had been stressed for the past few weeks, school, family, orgs, Kiefer and everything else in between. I turned the air-condition on and closed my eyes.

Parang 30 minutes palang ako natutulog at pahimbing palang ang tulog ko when I heard a loud ring. Seriously? At this wee of hour?

I don't wanna wake up and get my phone. I covered my ears with a pillow and hide under my comforter. No way I'm gonna take that.

I hate it because it just won't stop. Ano bang napakaimportanteng bagay ang kelangan nitong sabihin ngayon at hindi pwedeng ipagpabukas?

I sit up opening half of my eye, unwanting to answer it pero naawa na ako sa phone ko. It stop ringing. I grab my phone and saw that I have 8 missed calls from Thirdy Ravena. Why does he need to call me? Sobrang urgent ba nito at walong beses na niya akong tinatawagan? I panicked a bit and nagising yung diwa ko.

I was about to redial the number when he called again.

"Hello?" my voice sounds big

"Alex, I'm sorry to bother you." He sounds stress right now. "Pero kasi, si Dani." He paused.

Oh, no no no. I hope nothing happened to her. She's like my little sister already.

"Medyo may nangyari kasi sa kanya. Bigla siyang hinimatay and tumama yung ulo niya sa may table namin at sa lapag. We're in the hospital right now."
