章 25: The Calm before the Storm
"Sat outside my front window
This story's going somewhere
He's well hung and I am hanging up
There's a song on the radio that says:
"Let's get this party started"
So let's get this party started"
-Calm Before the Storm lyrics by Fall Out Boy

"Maraming salamat sa iyong tulong! I can't thank you enough for saving me!" Sabi ko sa isang bangkero. "Walang anuman po ma'am. Dito na po ako at mangingisda pa ako." Sabi niya saakin.
Hindi ko na siya sinagot at dali-dali akong pumara ng taxi. I need to talk to Kyle. Hindi niya dapat malaman na buhay si Elle. Not now, kasi mapupurnada lahat nang mga pinaghirapan ko.
"That sl*t! Humanda ka saakin! Magtutuos pa tayo!" I said on my gritted teeth.
Akala niya hindi ako makakaligtas doon sa pag-iwan niya saakin sa laot? No, no.. Mali ka ng kinalaban, Elle.. Maling-mali ka. I clenched my fist because of so much irritation..
"Dito lang po." Sabi ko doon sa driver saka bumaba.
"KYLE?!" Tawag ko pagpasok ko sa bahay. I searched him in the entire house, not missing every corner of this house, but he's not here.
"Where could he be?!" I stressed-out.
Suddenly, the telephone rang.. I immediately picked it up hoping that it would help me find where Kyle is.
"Hello?" I said sounding desperate. "Ally? Is this you?" I heard Kyle's father voice.
"Yes tito." I replied. "Oh, nandyan ka pala Ally. Hindi pala kayo magkasama ni Kyle? I've been looking for him dito sa event ng bago naming investor but seemed he's not here pa." Biglang nagbago ang mood ko sa sinabi ni Tito.
"Event? How come Kyle didn't inform me about that Tito? May I know where is the event?" Diretsang tanong ko sa kanya. "Sapphire Room, 5th Floor ng E.L.V. Company.. Andito na rin si Elisa but Kyle isn't around pa." Lalo akong nainis sa narinig kong pangalan na binanggit ni Tito. Isa pa yung malanding yun!
Without any word, I ended up the call. I didn't bother to change clothes. Time is running, I need to see Kyle first and foremost.
Hindi pwedeng mapunta sa wala lahat nang mga pinaghirapan ko.. I will never let that thing happen..

ELISA
I've been looking for Kyle sa room but it seems na wala pa siya dito. "Where could he be? Don't tell me hindi siya pupunta?" Tanong ko.
"Oh, Elisa. It's nice to see you again." Lumingon ako at doon nakita ko si Mr. Andrew. Kyle's father.
"Hello, Mr. Villafuente. The pleasure is mine.." I said sweetly.. "Look at you, very beautiful.." Pangbobola niya saakin. I tried not to roll my eyes..
"Kayo rin naman po Tito, looking so handsome in your formal suit.. But where is Kyle?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan..
"About that, I've been looking for him since then, but I can't find him. Hindi din siya tumawag saakin or what.." Sabi niya. Tumango-tango lang ako and biglang nagring ang cellphone ko.
"Excuse me, Mr. Villafuente, but I need to answer this. See you around." Tumango lang siya sa sinabi ko at umalis ako sa harap niya.
"Hello?" I said upon picking up the call. "He's here." Sabi niya.. And with that, alam kong that's the cue..
I headed backstage only to give cue to the station manager.
"Start the music." Sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.
