My KILLER, My LOVER

Man In Hoodie

"Yes Atty. Dela Merced, I will be there." It's 7:30 pm. I'm with a phone call with my Dad's lawyer, and he's telling me to meet him in my Dad's house this weekend. According to him, it's about my Dad's last will and testament. I fear myself in going there, not because of I may not have any inheritance from my Dad but because of I will be meeting my Dad's second wife, whom I didn't know at all. My Dad and her lived in our family's mansion in the city. I used to go there during weekends to have a bonding time with my Dad because during weekdays, I was staying at the school's dormitory. But now he's gone. And the one I'm going to meet there was his second wife.

My mom was out of the country to take over her family's business so I decided to stay here with Dad to continue my studies here since I was just 2 years away from graduating college the time she went overseas. I just promised her to follow and go there when I already graduated to help her with our business.

My Mom and Dad divorced when I was a kid for a reason that I didn't know, and they didn't even want me to know about it.

"Thank you, Mr. Dela Cruz. Do you have any questions before I end up the call?" Atty. Dela Merced said.

"Do I need to bring something?"

"Your presence is more than enough. Just be there in that day. And... you're aware that we will be joined by your Dad's wife, right? " He then asked me. I breathed heavily before answering.

"Yes"

"Okay I'll see you then! Thank you Mr. Dela Cruz!" and he end up the call. I sighed before going out of the bathroom and went back to the table where Martin and the other members of the council were staying.

"Sorry for the long wait, I just had a phone call earlier. Umm.. let's go?" I told them and they all agreed. We went outside the resto and look for a taxi . We know that the dorm's just a walking distance away but we decided to take the taxi 'cause it's already dark.

They were happy talking about something when I simply take a glance at the far end of the street where we were standing. It gave me chills that I saw again the man in hoodie who we thought earlier, was following us. I rubbed my eyes and take a look at it again and he's gone.

"Hey, are you okay? It's like you just saw a ghost." Martin told me and looked to the direction where I was looking at.

"Don't mind me. I just think... I just think I saw someone I know." Good thing that Martin did not bother to ask questions again. A couple of taxis have came and some of Martin's friends have already gone as time passed by. Until the time where I and Martin's the only one left. We just talked something about the university, the things we planned to do in the next days, he even asked me again about joining the University Star competition.

For quite some time, I completely forgot the fear I was feeling a while ago. The way going back to the dorm was just a flash of thunder since there's no traffic that time and the resto where we ate was pretty much close to the dorm.

"Thank you again for escorting me to my unit. You're really a very reliable friend of mine." I told him. He then smiled and wave goodbye to me and entered to his unit the next door. I was about to enter my room when suddenly I noticed that I forgot my keys inside the room. I sighed in disbelief 'cause I don't have any spare key. And I'm pretty much sure that the office downstairs was already closed this time. So I cannot enter my room. Looks like I have to do this.

I knocked three times to the door next to my room.. Its been a couple of seconds before Martin opened the door.

"Hey what's up! Thought you were already inside your room?" a shirtless SC President came out of the door. He was only wearing boxers and have a towel on his shoulders.

"Bro I have a very big favor to ask. Can I stay in your unit? I forgot my keys inside again."

"Haha, it's fine with me. Besides, it happens to you often that ends up where you staying here in my room. Come in." He invited me.

"Feel at home. And if you feel like taking a bath, you can borrow my clothes. I'm heading to the bathroom now." He said and I nodded as a response. It's true that I already stayed here a couple of times. Good thing was that he's very accommodating.

Suddenly, the telephone on the study table rings. I don't know if I'm going to answer that or not. But it may be important so I immediately answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Sir Rafael, is that you? What are you doing in Sir Martin's room?" It was the guard of the school.

"Long story. It will take a couple of minutes if I'm going to share it to you right now. By the way, why did you call Martin? He's in the bathroom."

"Actually Sir I'm calling you by the telephone in your room just a few minutes ago. It's just that you were not there. I just wanna say that there's a man in black hoodie and facemask tried to enter the school. When confronted by us, he just said he's your friend and wanted to talk to you. But he can't show any ID so we didn't let him in.", What the guard said gave me chills and the fear that I felt in the resto suddenly came back.

Was he the same guy who's following us a while ago? And why was he following us.
