Justice Amid Peace

10

Kyline's debut was so fun, medyo nakakapagod lang.

Inabot kami ng  halos 10 pm. Kaya iyon, 1 am na kami natapos mag ligpit. Pagod na ako, kaya i didn't read Angel's Messages.

Sa sobrang pagod ko, ginising na ako ni Klark.

"Kuya, wake up! Its already lunch! Ikaw na lang yung hindi gising."

"Stop joking Klark, it's only-

Klark isn't lying, it's really lunch! Nag mamadali akong umayos at bumababa sa dining area.

"Morning mom, dad, ate, kyline and klark."

"Ang aga pa no Kyle?! Hahaha". Sabi ni ate

I ate scrambled egg with shrimp soup and rice.

After i ate, naligo agad ako.

Stupid! Naiwan ko yung towel ko.

"Klark!! Can you pass me my towel."

"I'm on live study, at kumon."

"Stop joking, and stop saying come'on".

"Kuya, K-U-M-O-N! Tawagin mo na lang sila ate."

"They're girls."

"I don't care."

I can't do anything and shout.

"Kyline, can you pass me the towel?"

Inabot na sa kin ni Kyline ung towel, kaya naka pasok na ko ng room.

After ko mag bihis, i opened up my email and started to read, since nag leave naman ako ng 1 month.

"Althea seems to be in my height, she's cute though."

15
" I'm sorry for not telling you everything earlier, this is my only time."

16
"I don't know if i could attend Kyline's debut on the next coming months."

17
"I'm really in a relationship when we broke up, but it's not Charles."

18
" I guess you're still 26 years old while reading this."

19
"We met 5 years ago, we had some benefits".

20
"Kyle, we broke up due to you're condition in the past."

21
"Th-

Klark called me, that's why hindi ko na tuloy ung pagbabasa.

"Kuya"

"Oh bakit ba?! Busy ako."

"Someone's calling on you're phone, i think it's urgent because it rang 10 times, but it's just a number. It's still calling you, look."

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Is this Kyle?"

I heard a familiar woman's voice.

"This is Althea, I'm the girl you met in Korea. I'll be heading to Philippines later, let's meet tomorrow. I'll send the address. I have something to tell you urgently."

Althea, was Angel's sister. Maybe she'll say the reason why Angel didn't come to Kyline's Debut.

I can't sleep all night dahil nag tataka ako kung ano yung sasabihin ni Althea.

Dahil sa curiosity, i only slept about 5 hours, grr, it's already 7:00 am.

When i looked at my phone, Althea texted me about 5:00 am.

"Let's meet at Pazar Food Park, about 8:30 am."

I ate breakfast then washed up. I wore a Blue Polo Shirt, paired with pants and a white shoe. I putted some gel on my hair. Para mejo formal.

I go there about 8:00am, earlier than the time we talked about. But i was shocked, when Althea was already there.

She's wearing a plain blue shirt, paired with a pants a and a white shoe. Her hair was in a messy bun, with her eye glass.

I greeted first.

"You're early, i thought i would come up first."

"Oh, well, i left home early because I'm kinda far here."

"Are you staying at Angel's condo?"

"Well about that, I'm-

Kumulo yung tiyan ni Althea dahil sa gutom, kaya nag order muna kami.

Umorder kame sa may sisig, habang umoorder, tinanong kami ng nasa cashier.

"Sir, mam, we have a couple promo."

"We aren't a couple." I answered.

Nasabi nya siguro dahil same outfit kami ni Althea.

After naming kumain, we talked.

"Why do you asked to meet?"

"Ahh, have you checked you're email?"

"Of course, that's why i knew you're Angel's sister. Althea Maurine Baltazar."

Her face seems to be shocked.

"How many of them have you read?!"

"About 20, i was going to read the 21st message, but you called."

"Good."

"Huh? What do you mean? What are you going to say?"

"Ah, About Angel.....

Someone called me on my phone. When I'm done speaking in my phone, Althea left.

So i asked another customer.

"Hi, have you seen the girl that I'm with earlier?

"Oh, the girl wearing blue?"

"Yes."

"She's running sadly, while an tear is dropping."
