Chapter 5
I woke up the next day in an unfamiliar room. I smiled remembering what happened.
"He has a scar on his face," I saw it. He has a scar on his forehead.
I was holding my forehead when I felt it sting. Fuck! I had a drink last night! My eyes widened as I remembered Olivia.
"Omygod! Why did I lose my mind Oliv!" I hurriedly searched my bag and found it at the end of the bed along with the new white t-shirt and pants.
I gasped when I saw her multiple messages to me.
Oliv: Zai where the hell are you?
Oliv: Zavareighn!
Oliv: Answer you phone! I'm worried!
Oliv: Why did you suddenly disappear? Where are you ?! Zai!
Oliv: You saw a man tow! Where are you!
Oliv: I'm gonna call your mom! Fuck!
And he still has a lot of texts and calls. He bit his lip and typed a reply to him. Because Mr. pulled me. Stranger out of the bar so I couldn't say goodbye to him. How can I say it to her? God!
I remember Mr. again. Stranger. Last night I could see a little of his face. I saw his dark eyes and his red lips. Fuck! I remembered how he kissed me last night. His touched, his breath in my neck. Until I take a bath is Mr. Stranger is on my mind. I need to really get to know who he is. As soon as possible.
I think I have a clue. He has a scar. But the problem is how can I know that, do I still need to go through the men one by one to find out if they have a scar or not? He's in young, I guess? I saw his muscle and it doesn't looked like old. He is still young for me.
"Ah!" I stood up with a sudden memory. "He also has a mole in his back!"
"Miss! Are you all right?" I looked at the taxi driver.
It seems that my words got louder so Kuya was surprised. I just smiled at Kuya and shook my head. That's embarrassing ah.
He has a scar and a mole. God! Why is the clue so difficult! How do I know a man has a scar and a mole? Shall I undress them? Goodness!
I was surprised when my cellphone suddenly rang so the taxi driver was surprised again. I smiled at her awkwardly and then answered Olivia's call.
"Zai! Omygod! Where are you ?! Auntie is already worried about you. Even Kuya Zach!" I close my eyes tightly because of Olivia's shrill shout on the cellphone.
I immediately felt guilt. He was the one who took me to the bar so he must be very upset with me. Edi he blames Mr. Stranger! I was pulled out of the bar!
"I'm on my way home," I said as I bit my lip.
"Gosh! Do you know I'm worried about you ?! I'll almost turn the bar over to find you ?! I'm confused! If you haven't texted me I'll go to the police! I'm about to go to the police station and then I saw your text! " he growled at me. The concern in his voice was obvious. "And who kidnapped you ?! I saw you being dragged by a man so I was even more nervous! I thought you were kidnapped!"
"Here we are, Ma'am," I turned to the driver and saw that we were right in front of the house.
"Zai! Zai! Hello?" I put the cell phone away from my ear and gave the payment to the taxi driver.
When I got out of the taxi, I immediately saw Mama and kuya in the garden.
"Hello, Oliv? Can we talk later? I'll tell you all promise!" I said and then turned off the call. I even heard her growl.
I slowly opened the gate of our house. Kuya stood up when he saw me while mommy dropped the cellphone and approached me.
"God Zavareign! Where have you been ?!" Mom asked me thoughtfully.
Kuya, on the other hand, touched my elbow and looked to see if I had a wound. I could see the concern on their faces.
"Don't you know we're so worried about you ?! You can't be contacted, even Oliv doesn't know where you are!" Mom stabbed me. That I seem to be too guilty of him.
"I'm sorry ..." I said softly.
"Mom, enough," his older brother stopped Mommy. "Zai, go to your room. Are you still in?" he said softly to me.
Kuya greeted me, signaling that I had entered the house. I smiled sparingly at Kuya and glanced at Mama who still looked bad at me.
I took a quick shower even though the water was so cold, our heater was broken so that's it. I binlower my hair to dry quickly. I put a light make-up. I arranged my bag and put a book in it.
I was about to leave when I saw a small box under the bedside table. Kuya said that my friend would give it to me. He said it was my best friend who gave me that. But to my surprise, I can’t remember who he was. I don't know the flesh non. I don't open it. I do not know why.
I inhaled deeply.
"When will I meet you Mr. Stranger?" one more glance in the mirror I took before leaving my room.
When I got down, Kuya Zach was the only one I found. Maybe mommy went to her work? I sighed when I remembered again that he shouted at me earlier. I approached Kuya and saw there was an envelope next to his laptop. It's like a wedding invitation.
"Will that come in?" Kuya asked when he saw me.
I nodded. "Yes. You don't have a job brother?" he shook his head and took the envelope from his side and handed it to me.
"What's that for, Brother?" I wonder question. I looked closely at the envelope.
"Please give it to Xenix," he said and smiled at me. "I was going to go to school with him, but I remembered that he was your teacher. So you have to give in to him."
I sighed. Why would I give? He can do it. I was about to complain when he spoke again.
"Where did you sleep last night? Oliv said she took you to the bar. Is that true?" Kuya's face became serious.
I was blown away. I don't know what to answer. I don't want to lie to him but I also don't want him to know the truth about why I disappeared last night. His two eyebrows rose at me as if waiting for my answer.
“At the hotel I slept, Brother,” I lied. "My cellphone also went down so I couldn't call."
He went back to fidgeting with his laptop. As I was left staring at the Brown envelope I was holding.
"Is that Sir Xenix?"
I went out of the house practicing what to say to Sir. Until I got to school I was still doing that. I just stopped when a big and hard body of a man ran into me. I would have almost fallen if he hadn’t just grabbed me by the waist.
