Finding Avie's body

Chapter 14

It’s been two days since we arrived here in La Union, I think our stay here made me feel energize and fresh. Kahit papaano pakiramdam ko medyo naging magaang ang pakiramdam ko.

I was busy watching tv when Drake appeared out of nowhere he looked serious his thick brows are crossed and he looked like he was from a fight.

Something must be bothering him. I decided to talk to him since sya nga tinutulungan nya ako sa mission ko na mahanap yung katawan ko, might as well I become a friend to him also.

“What’s wrong?” I asked Drake while satting down at the chair in front of him.

This feels surreal for me, I never thought that me and Drake will still have this kind of moments, l always  thought to myself that I should maintain my distance with him specially that he’s dating my half sister.

May mga bagay kasi talaga na alam natin na hindi na pwede kaya alam dapat natin kung pano lumugar at dumistansya. Ayoko din kasi na mag-iiyak nanaman si Alana kay Dad, dahil lang super frustrated sya sa past naming ni Drake.

Draked looked at me with a sad and concerned eyes.

“Wala naman, I’ll just pack my things and then we’ll head back to Manila. We have to start the investigation. Nag-labas nan g statement yung mga police they declared your case an accident Kiesh.” He said like this situation is getting worse.

I felt bad with what he said. Ibig sabihin hihinto na ang polisya na mag-imbestiga sa nangyari sa akin. Lalo namin kailangan bilisan kumilos ngayon na pati mga police wala ng maitutulong.

“Kiesh do you have someone in  mind na pwedeng gumawa sayo nito? Someone planned this. There should be someone na sobrang laki ng galit sayo na gumawa nito” Seryosong sabi ni Drake.

I think of the possible person na pwedeng gumawa sa akin nito, actually kung ang pagbabasihan namin ng possible suspect ay yung mga taon na hindi ako gusto, I think super haba ng listahan ko.

But I think that you hating someone because of her attitude won’t get you to the point of wanting to kill her.

This person must have hated me so much to go this far. This is beyond hate, I don’t remember doing something this terrible for someone to want to kill me. Prangka lang akong tao but I know my limitations, and I value professionalism so much.

“I don’t remember doing something terrible to the point that a person would want to kill me Drake, you know me. Hindi naman ako ganoon kasama,” I explained to him.

“Someone is manipulating your case Kiesh. The corpse of the woman that was discovered in your car matched your Dad’s DNA. This is clearly a hint that someone really wanted everyone to think that you are already dead.” Drake said with so much anger.

Ibigsabihin talagang may gustong pumatay sakin. But why? What have I done to deserve this?

“Oh God. What have I done to deserve this?” I said while crying.

This is getting harder and harder.

“Nothing Kiesh, wala kang ginawa Avrielle Akiesha. You know that. You shouldn’t blame yourself in this situation ikaw ang  biktima dito Kiesh, please remember that you are the victim here. Hindi mo to kasalanan. We’ll figure this out. For now we have to go back to Manila.” He said as he zip his bags.

 Drake got his bags and then decided to video call with Axel before we go, probably to say thanks for letting him stay here for awhile.

“Dude I’ll have to go back to manila today, may kailangan akong asikasuhin.” Drake said when Axel was already on the screen.

Actually Axel doesn’t seemed to be shocked with what he heard. He looks really serious right now, what’s up with this guy?

“Drake I know that you  just got relaxed after your vacation, but I think you need to know this bro. Actually Wayne and Damon didn’t want you to know this because they are still confirming it, but dude some peeps saw Avie’s car at that night and the location was actually opposite if she’s really on the way to airport.” Axel looked like this is really a serious matter for him.

 I know that they have been my friends and maybe they are doing this for Drake but this means so much to me. Totoo nga ang sabi ni Mama Catleya the journey on finding my body will be really hard but having Drake and these guys? I am finding hope in this hopeless situation.

“Damn. I knew it. Hindi aksidente yung nangyare kay Kiesh.  Thanks dude this means so much to me.” Drake sincerely said to Axel.

“Man! You sounded like a gay! Wala to pare, kahit ano basta para sayo and of course kay Avie babe,” Axel teased Drake.

I tried not to laugh, Drake’s getting red. Hahahaha he hates it so much everytime his friends call me babe before. But Axel, Caleb, Wayne and Damon really loves calling me babe, they use to tell me before that I was their baby sister. And that they will kill Drake if ever he would cheat on me.

I guess just like, blood is thicker than water mas matimbang pa din yung friendship nilang lima kesa sa atraso ni Drake sa akin haha but that was understood.

Drake looked at me like he was super embarrassed for himself. I just smiled at him.

“Pare I think kailangan natin itrack down yung mga tao na naka transact ni Avie before the incident. Siguradong kahit papano makakahanap tayo lead sa kung ano yung nangyare at kung nasaan na sya.” Drake seriously said to Axel.

“Pare umaasa ka pa din ba na hindi pa patay si Avie? Dude lumabasa na yung imbestigasyon. Kahit si Senator pinatigil na yung imbestigasyon. Gusto na daw nilang payapang magluksa.” Malungkot na sagot ni Axel.

“Oo pare. Siguradong sigurado akong buhay pa si Kiesha, nararamdaman ko pare. Alam ko. Pare itataya ko lahat ng meron ako makita ko lang si Kiesha. She’s alive believe me.” Drake said to Axel convincing him that I was still really alive.

“Pare grabe yung pagmamahal mo kay Avie. Akala naming naka move on kana kaya nga magpapakasal kana kay Alanna. Pare you are clearly still not over Avie. Anong plano mo kay Alanna? Dude you have to be a man, at least man enough to tell her the truth.” Axel said to Drake trying knock some sense into him.

Drake looked at me seriously. He probably knows that I’m thinking he same things again.

“Pare I am doing this for Kiesha because I still really treasure her, she’s been a great part of my life. Alam nyong lahat yan kung gaano kahalaga sa akin si Avie. And as for Alanna, I’ll talk her after I find Avie, pare sa bawat oras na nasasayang hindi ko alam kung ano ang pinagdadaanan ni Kiesh. I have to prioritize her.” Drake said trying to reason out for his actions.

I forcedly close my eyes and look outside the window. Hindi ko gustong makagulo sa buhay nila ni Alanna, if I only have a chance to atleast find someone else to help me, I wouldn’t want to drag Drake into this mess.

“Pare you can keep pretending to us, but know that you can’t keep pretending to yourself. Basta kami pare handa kaming tumulong. We got your back pare.” Axel said to Drake.

Ibang klase din talaga yung pagkakaibigan ngn mga to, I hope I had that kind of friends. Sadly I don’t have anyone. Oh! Yes! Vanie! Atleast I have Vanie.

But Vanie probably didn’t know that I actually consider her as a friend.

“Salamat pare, salamat sa tulong nyo.” Drake said before ending his call with Axel.

He looked at me and smiled genuinely.

“Sabi ko sayo diba? We’ll figure this out, just trust me Kiesh okay? We’ll find you body Kiesh. Hinding hindi kita pababayaan.” Drake said to me sincerely.

I couldn’t help but just smile and nod at him. I don’t know if it’s the way he talk or what but I just couldn’t help but be happy and at peace. I really believe that somehow everything’s gonna be fine.
