Married Overnight (BOOK 1)

Mom

Ellie's POV

After dinner, pumasok si Zach sa study room nya para magtrabaho. I want to know what he's thinking but I don't know how to talk to him. His matter about his family is very fragile.

He even asked me about Daniel which suddenly made me scared. I felt that I was caught red handed but I know for sure na wala naman akong ginagawang mali.

The next morning, maaga din syang umalis but this time he called a driver for me. Maaga nadin ako umalis dahil susukatin ko pa ang gown na susuotin ko sa premiere night at Charity ball.
Paglabas namin ng gate, nakita ko ulit yung ale na nakatayo sa harap ng bahay namin.

I asked the driver to stop the car at bumaba naman ako.

" Excuse me, may kailangan ka po ba?" Tanong ko at agad naman sya lumingon sakin.
She looks terrified ng makita ako then she tried to runaway but thankfully I immediately grab her arms.

"Ilang araw na kitang napapansin sa harap ng bahay namin, may problema po ba?" Tanong ko while she's trying to escape from me.

Sinubukan nyang kumalas sa hawak ko and she suddenly fainted kaya nataranta ako.

Agad akong tumawag ng ambulance para dalhin sya sa hospital. Pinasamahan ko nalang muna sya sa driver dahil marami pa akong nakapila na schedules sa araw nato.
Mamaya ko nalang sya kakausapin kapag kumalma na sya.  Wala din naman akong magagawa dun if she's mot concious

While i'm working, our driver suddenly called me and he said na bigla nalang nawala ang ale sa ospital kaya agad akong sumunod sa ospital to check what really happened.

When I arrived, nagkakagulo na nga sa nurse station and they're talking about the woman that we brought here.

"Excuse me, what really happened here?" Tanong ko sakanila then they showed me a medical record of Theresa Manabat.

Is she the one that we brought here?

The doctor explained about her condition and she hasn't done any treatment yet. Baka dahil wala syang panggastos sa ospital. She have an early stage of stomach cancer and I guess she didn't even know it.

"We can't let her go with that condition, she didn't even sign a waiver of her treatment, It might affect our hospital if this goes out in public" paliwanag ng doctor.

"I'm really sorry Doc. Kahit ako hindi ko alam ang kondisyin nya, we just brought her here when she fainted." Paliwanag ko naman.
Ilang sandali nakita ko na ang driver ko na dala-dala ang bag nung ale.

"What's that?"  Tanong ko sakanya.

"Naiwan ata ng Ale mam" sagot nya at agad binigay sakin ang bag.
I know it's rude but I need to find to her kaya agad ko hinalungkat ang  bag nya. Nacucurious kasi ako kung sino talaga sya and why she's lurking around our house.

Her bag is full of newspapers na may article tungkol samin ni Zach.
She's suspicious but I don't think she's dangerous.
It also has her wallet kaya hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na buksan yung wallet nya at agad ko nakita ang luma nyang larawan na may dalang sanggol and the other picture is Zach.

The baby in the picture looks like Zach or baka si Zach nga talaga ang nasa picture? Sya ba ang nanay niya?

Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na puntahan ang address na nasa I.D.

She's currently living in a small apartment. We tried knocking her door but no one is responding, we also asked the owner of the building and he confirmed na nakabalik na si Theresa so we asked them to forcefully open the door at tama nga ang hinala ko.
