CHAPTER 10

CHRISTOPHER CHOI's POV

GD has been absent for almost one week and I am already worrying about him. Araw-araw ko syang hinihintay sa gate, sinisilip sa room nila or dinadaanan sa roof top if in case man na pumunta sya dun but there's no sign of George Danielle Kwon there. I also asked all of his classmates if they knew what happened to him but they just shrugged their shoulders on me. I have done everything except for asking his family.

~It was Wednesday morning, I woke up when my mother entered my room~

"Hey mister, wake up! You'll gonna be late for school. . . Nakatulog ka nanaman sa table mo, why do you keep writing strange songs? It's just you who understand all of that" Eto nanaman tayo. . .dada here, dada there, dada everywhere

"Mom, kaya nga ako yung nagsulat diba? Of course I was the one who understands it. . ." I stand up and close my notes. I took a shower and wear white sweater and baggy pants. After I change, I went to the kitchen and make myself some sandwich

"Why aren't you in uniform? Wednesday pa lang ah" Sabi ng magaling Kong daddy

"I'm not going to school today, I have an important thing to do" Sagot ko

"And school is not an important thing? Magbihis ka ng school uniform mo dun. You should focus on your studies, hindi yung kung anu-anong bagay ang inaatupag at inuuna mo" He uttered

I take the last bite of my sandwich and look at him with one raised brow. "You know what they say. . . like father, like son. Nagawa mo ngang atupagin at unahin yang kabit mo kesa mag focus sa'min nina mommy eh, may narinig ka ba sa'kin?" I said as I turned my back on him.

"Hey Christoph, watch your mouth you—" My dad shouted while my mom stopped him

I turned back and smirk at him "kaya mo nga naanakan yun diba, kasi kung anu-ano inuna mo. Tapos ang gusto nya dito mag stay yang batang yan? I'm not gonna take care of your mistress' child. You're the one who started it anyway, then go and face it yourself. Hindi yung si mommy pa inoobliga mong bumuhay jan sa batang yan habang yung kabit mo nagpapakasaya sa nakukuha nya sa'yo. You've heard nothing from me when you chose that woman, kaya wag mong pakialaman yung buhay ko kasi malaki na'ko at kaya kona ang sarili ko" I said as I turned my back again and walked out of the house.

I didn't use my car instead I took a bus to go to Bal's house. After 30 minutes, I reached the alley and start walking. When I reached their house, I saw his brother and push myself to ask despite of the word of his mom.

"Uhm. . . (Clears my throat). . . Excuse me po" My starter pack question

"Ohh Christopher diba? Bakit ka. . . nandito?" His brother Sol asked

"Uhm. . . Uhh. . . Nandyan po ba si GD? mahigit isang linggo na po kasi syang hindi pumapasok, I was worried about him and wondering what happened. . . Is GD here?" Tanong ko

I saw him looked at his mom for a minute before talks back to me

"Nako. . . Uhh pano ba to. . . Wala si GD dito eh" Sol replied

"Alam nyo po ba kung nasa'n sya? May pinuntahan po ba sya saglit? I. . . I'll wait for him here na lang"

"Nako! Wag ka nang mag hintay hijo, walang GD na magpapakita sa'yo dito kasi nga naglakas loob nang lumayas kala mo naman kung sinong magaling" Sabat ng nanay nya

"Lumayas? Why? What happened?" I asked.

Sol walk towards me and start talking sincerely to me

"Pasensya kana sa nanay ko ah. . . Mag-iisang linggo narin kasing hindi umuuwi si GD sa bahay simula ng lumayas sya. Nagkasagutan kasi sila nina papa nung gabi na hinatid mo kami dito. Medyo nasaktan si bunso kaya ayun, umalis. Hindi namin alam kung sa'n sya nagpunta, akala ko nga dumiretso sya sainyo eh ikaw lang naman ang alam kong makakatulong sakanya. Hindi ba nagawi sainyo si George?"

"Hindi po, hindi ko din ma contact ang phone nya. I was worried about him lalo na malapit na yung semestral examination, baka marami na syang na missed na lessons"

"Hayaan mo, update kita pag nakausap ko na ulit si bunso. Pero, wala ka ba talagang alam na pwede nyang lapitan at mapag stay-an?"

"He had no much close friends sa YG University, hindi ko alam kung sino pwede nyang malapitan except me"

"Ayaw na nga ni mama na hanapin ko pa si GD eh. . . Di ko naman matiis yung batang yun, mahal na mahal ko yun eh. . . Aishhh bakit pa kasi hindi ko pinaliwanag ang lahat para naintindihan nya ng maayos"

"Sorry to asked but bakit ayaw ni tita? A-anong ipapaliwanag?"

"Si papa kasi lasing nung gabing iyon kaya ayun. . . Nalaman ni GD na ampon sya"

"Ohh. . . I see. I'll try my best to find him. I'll update you if meron akong makuhang info of where he is"

"Salamat Christopher ah"

"Anything. . . just for GD"

"mahal na mahal mo talaga 'noh"

I chuckled when he said that "maybe I just don't want to lose him"

I walked away and start to look for GD. I've searched every single place that I think he'll went to but he's not there. I tried my very best just to find him and I won't stop until I see him again

SOL's POV

Pagkatapos umalis ni Christopher sa amin, dumiretso na'ko sa company kung sa'n ako nagtatrabaho. Naabutan ko si Dario na nagbubuhat na ng mga goods na idodonate ng company para sa is ang charity event. Pagdating ko ay agad akong tumulong para mas mapadali ang trabaho

"Pare. . . hindi ba't sabi ng doktor ay magpahinga ka muna" Pagpipigil nya sa'kin

"Pre, kaya ko na to at tsaka marami pa to oh matatagalan pa kung ikaw lang mag isa"

"Nako Yvan Benedict Kwon, umiral nanaman ang katigasan ng iyong ulo"

"Hayaan mo na kasi akong tumulong pre"

"Sya sige gusto mo yan eh, pero magpahinga pag hindi mo na kaya ah. Nga pala, nahanap mo na ba yung kapatid mo?"

"Yun nga eh, hindi parin"

"Ni report nyo na ba sa pulis? Dapat nyan magpaprint na kayo ng missing para mas madali nyong mahanap si GD"

"Luh, oo nga no. . . teka tawagan ko si Choi"

"Choi? Sino naman yun?"

"Boyfriend ni GD. . . "

"Ha? Si GD may boyfriend? Lakas naman, baka naman mamaya nandon pala sa kanila si GD di lang sinasabi sa'yo"

"Wala, pumunta sya kanina sa bahay hinahanap din si GD"

"Ehh sa'n naman kaya nagpunta yun"

Kinuha ko ang phone ko para tawagan si Christopher. Pagkatapos ng trabaho ko, sinimulan na naming magpa print ng missing poster para mas madali namin syang mahanap. Nagsimula akong maghanap sa katabing baryo namin at hinayaan ko naman si Christopher na maghanap sa ibang lugar
