Steven's P.o.V.

I woke up to the sound of a ringing phone. Kanino ba 'yon? 

"Steven your phone, magigising si Krisha" I looked at Kisses who slapped my arm. Shit, dito ba ako nakatulog? I immediately jumped out of the bed and took my phone.

Tangna, alas tres na?

"Kailangan ko nang umalis, tumawag ka na lang kapag may kailangan si Krishna" I said then stormed out of the room. Takte sabi ko pa man din kay Akiexhia magmo-movie marathon kaming dalawa tapos inabot ako dito nang madaling araw.

I drove as fast as possible, as expected pagdating ko sa condo nila Akiexhia tulog na siya. Si Chelsea na ang nagbukas ng pinto para sa akin.

"Ginagago mo ba best friend ko?" I was caught off guard sa tanong ni Chelsea bago niya tuluyang maisara ang pinto. I looked at her, confused of her sudden outburst.

"Ano bang tanong yan Chels?"

"Sabihin mo nga, totoo ba talagang hindi mo anak si Krishna?" She asked again. This is really getting confusing, ano bang gustong iparating ni Chelsea?

"May DNA test na diba? Negative 'yung result" I answered honestly, kasi totoo naman, DNA na mismo ang nagsabi at isa pa it's too impossible to be tampered by anyone, walang nakakaalam na nagpa-DNA test ako.

Chelsea just shook her head at me, parang hindi pa naniniwala sa sinabi ko.

"Siguraduhin mong wala kang kagaguhang ginagawa sa likod ni Akiexhia"

"If what you're talking about is about me spending the night with Krishna a-"

"That's what I'm talking about Steven. You should have called her hindi yung pinaghintay mo siya ng ilang oras" she snapped angrily.

"Alam kong mali ako do'n Chelsea" I admit, I should have told Akiexhia beforehand na hindi na ako makakabalik kasi sasamahan ko muna si Krishna instead of just making her wait all night.

"I can really feel something's not right Steven, I hope it's just my imagination" what Chelsea said made me confused. Something's not right? Alin? Yung pakikipag-ayos ko kay Akiexhia? O itong pagdalaw ko kay Krishna?

"Bumalik ka na lang bukas, huwag mo nang istorbohin si Akiexhia" I just nodded at her and let her close the door.

To be honest, everything still feels like a dream kahit na halos dalawang buwan na rin ang nakalipas. I won't say that the past two months are blissful, I still wake up every single damn day na hinahanap ko si Krishna. There was one time na sobrang aga kong nagising, I prepared breakfast, the usual breakfast naming tatlo noon, I am already setting the table nang maalala kong hindi na nga pala ako nakatira kasama sila.

She was my daughter for the past four years, the bond and love I shared with her is too strong for me to be able to forget her in just one day I just didn't expected na mamimiss ko 'yung mga araw na magkakasama kami.

I was woken up from my deep trance when my phone vibrated.

"Bakit?" I immediately asked Kisses as I pick up the phone.

"Gago ka ba?"

"Angelo? Gago ka din ba? Anong ginawa ko sa'yo?" I shouted back. Anong problema nito? Agang-aga kung murahin ako wagas.

"Gago, pumunta ka dito nang malaman mo!" He said then turned off the call.

I didn't exactly know what happened but I can feel my heart racing already.
