Chapter 20

Offline

It has been 6 months since Keith left at araw-araw kaming nag uusap. Even though we're both busy, we make time for each other kahit ilang minuto lang yan basta nakita namin na okay ang isa't-isa. But it has been a week since I tried contacting Keith, pero gaya ngayon palaging offline. I even left my account online the whole day everyday para makausap siya pero wala. I tried calling him kahit na mahal ang babayaran ko just so I can talk to him pero unattended siya.

I heard a knock on my door and told whoever that is to come in and I saw Krissandra. Kailan pa siya nakauwi? I looked behind her to see if Keith is also here but I did not saw him. Krisandra closed the door. I feel disappointed and sad. I really miss him. Napakunot noo ako, she looked bothered. Ni hindi siya makatingin ng deretso sa akin.

"Krisandra! How are you? Is something wrong?" She shook her head but said nothing. "Si.. Keith?"

Why does she look guilty? Besides barney who witnessed what happened between me and Keith, she's the only one who knows my relationship with Keith. I told Keith na wag na munang ipaalam sa iba ang tungkol sa amin, but I told him na kapag nakauwi na siya we'll let everyone know about us.

"Wala siya." Kinabahan ako. Sa itsura ngayon ni Krisandra parang may mali.

"Is he alright?" Nag aalalang tanong ko. Krisandra sighed.

"Yes. I think he's fine." She think?

"Bakit? What happened to him?" I asked but again, she just shook her head. She looked at me na parang naaawa sa akin. Why?

"I'm really sorry Jaqie." Nanlaki ang mata ko. Anong nangyari kay Keith? Naaksident ba siya? Nagka-amnesia? Jusko wag naman sana.

"Is he..." hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko. Nagulat naman siya sa reaction ko.

"No. God, no. He's okay." Nakahinga naman ako nang maluwag. At least alam kong hindi ganon ang nangyari.

"Kung ganon, anong nangyari?" Matagal siyang hindi nagsalita at tahimik lang kami. Then she suddenly looked at me pero this time nagbago ang itsura niya. She looked at me with conviction.

"Come with me to London. I know you have your passport and visa with you." And she's right. I do have it because 2 years ago, she told me to get one because she wants me to go with her. Ang sabi niya sakin noon isasama niya ako sa London para makapag bakasyon but I never got the chance because of work at ayaw ko din mag-mukhang abuso nang dahil lang close kami ay nakuha ko ang posisyon na kung nasaan man ako ngayon, kaya kahit kailan ay hindi pa ako nag-file ng leave.

"Why so sudden?" She just looks at me na parang nagmamakaawa.

"For Keith. Wala ako sa sitwayon para magsalita. Pero please come with me."

After 1 week..

London

Naramdaman ko ang lamig ng simoy ng hangin pagbaba ng eroplano. Mabuti nalang at marami akong dalang jacket. Madali pa naman akong lamigin. I decided to go with Krisandra. My first reason was to see Keith. I really missed that guy at hindi siya nagpaparamdam sa akin. Siguro dahil busy siya sa company dahil ang sabi ni Krisandra malaki daw ang naging problema nila.
