Presentiments 1.2

Meanwhile, in New York City, Mrs Alfios is wandering around the mansion, she's shaking and doesn't know what was it. She almost jumped when one of their housemaids approached. "Good night madam, someone's calling you several times. I'm worried about how important it is so I allegedly went here to give this to you," she handed the telephone and bow down before she left. "Oh, it would probably be Amanda," Reissha's mom whispered.

She'll be about to call Amanda when a sudden phone ring interrupts. 'Who would ever call to me at this hour?' she wonders. After a few sighs, she decided to take the call and will about to burst when Mr Alfios came. He asked what happened and why does she react uneasily. "Our daughter has been stoned earlier? Then where are the authorities at that time? Does she and Won get hurt?" he asked Mrs Alfios who's being paranoid.

"Mrs Alfios, I'm sorry for not informing you but, this isn't the first time," Elijah started then they both exclaimed. "What?! You've got a be kidding me. " Said Reissha's mom. But he shook, and the parents went struck. "Her first trouble was more dangerous compared today, what I mean is, recently. Someone intended to put poison on her ice cream the moment we visit my colleague's ice cream factory. There are many people out there, especially me. But when I left her for a few minutes, she said that a guy gave her another ice cream in a cup. I didn't know why I'm feeling weird at that time, but it all makes sense when she experiences such pain in her head and becomes unconscious. The police and all of our private investigators insisted that there is one person behind these incidents. And..they ensure that it will not happen today or tomorrow but in every other day. But..tita, it's my fault. " He stated, honestly.

"Aww, how poor our baby is. She'd probably hurting now. How I wish I could get there and protect her at all cost. No one is allowed to hurt my sweetie, please hon, let's go to the Philippines as soon as possible. I miss her and I wanna see her!" Mrs Alfios whimper as she lean to her husband who's already worried.

"Shawnee darling, we should not do anything without thinking twice. Remember, we promised dad not to go there until the wedding is settled." He assumed that it will make her calm but it doesn't. She continues to cry and complain. "No! We should not forsake her! She's our daughter Rossu. " she protested. But Mr Alfios embrace her. "I know, but we can not do anything. We're grounded to get near to her. All we have to do is to wait for it, for her to be safe-" she cut him. "Until when Rossu? Until when! I'm a mother, you know what I am capable of. Knowing Reissha in danger breaks my heart. I don't think I can forgive myself if something clever happened to her," said she while wiping the tears drops.

"Darling, I hope you'll understand our situation now. Some people are capable of taking care of her," he paused and faced the phone. Elijah seems patient in listening to them. "Besides, her future husband won't take her for granted. He could be her steward up until they'll get married."

"That's right Mrs Alfios, I wouldn't allow her to get into trouble again. I will protect your daughter no matter what. But, please accept my heartfelt apologies to both of you. I didn't protect her securely from the start. So it's just fine to me if I took the blame—" he stopped the moment Reissha's mom cut him off.

"No Won, it's not your fault. We are supposedly the ones who took the blame for we aren't there for her. Just continue protecting our daughter and I hope, we truly hope that you won't find her tiring. Please, don't get tired of our daughter." He grins, making them ask why. "No problem Mrs Alfios, I won't give up and will never get tired of her." Then, they all laughed but Mr Alfios gave him an excerpt before bidding their goodbyes and hanging up the call. "Elijah, I believe in you. Wait for the perfect time, she'll fall in love with you." He just replied "sure" before turning back and surprised at what he saw.

"So, you call them and report what happened. And I guess you're all enjoying talking about me." Reiss interrogates while wearing that derisive face. "Yes," he simply replied. "Psh! What can I expect? You're more likely a girl who have "two mouths " that can be used anytime. " She mocked, giving stress to the two mouths words.

"Oh yeah, I have crossed the line but I want you to feel that I'm not apologising," he pauses while Reissha comments, " You piece of crap!" but instead of being embarrassed, he smiles and continue. " Maybe I am but not for telling your parents. They have the rights to know."

"Psh!"

"So, no further comments? Is that you my dear Reissha? Knowing you, you would prefer to argue and have some nonsense conversations with me."

"That's exactly what you are," said Reissha unveiled. So, he froze for a moment and struggles to determine what she said. "What? I am your conversation so you don't wanna talk for now?" He teased but there is no expression can be seen on Reissha's face.

"Nah, you're nonsense. " then she walks out and left Elijah stuck in his position.

But, after a few minutes of being distant, Reissha received messages from her Yaya Amanda. She immediately went after to read it. "Reissha, I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye or even leave a letter. Yaya is fine and I was assigned to do a task just a few miles away from you. I just want you to know that I'm coming back, not long but not early too. I hope you'll understand that what am doing is for your good. Take good care of yourself. " A couple of tears dropped from her eyes but for some reason, she is satisfied that nothing bad happened to her beloved dada.
