Chapter 59 Accident
Alexa’s writing was interrupted again when her phone suddenly rang. “Hello!” “Hello! Alexa, I’m going back there. My vacation in the province is over. Could you cook some food for me because I haven’t eaten yet because I went straight home and didn’t get off the bus to eat on the way.”
“Go ahead, no problem. Be careful on the trip. Are you close?” “Yeah, maybe it’s only about an hour’s drive before I get there.” “All right, I’ll cook.” “Thank you!” Lexie dropped the phone call, and Alexa left the room to find something to cook. When she was looking for something to cook, she saw only cabbage. She thought of putting spicy sardines on it and a little water. They like to eat vegetables, so Lexie and I can eat whatever is cooked. She started cooking so that in case Lexie came, she would have cooked a dish and rice. Meanwhile, as the bus Lexie was riding in was traveling, they suddenly heard a loud sound. The tire of the bus exploded, so it had to be replaced carefully, and its heels were slow, so it stopped in front of a small cafeteria. The bus conductor left but returned immediately. “Sorry for the inconvenience, but we need to change the bus tire and it might take an hour. So if you want to ride another bus, you can, and those who want to wait can go to the cafeteria. That’s just the opposite. ” The conductor got off again with the driver. Lexie chose to wait because it was difficult to ride to where they stopped. The houses were almost far apart, with trees in between. She got off the bus and first asked the owner if she could sit down. She agreed, but when she saw the dishes in her shop, her stomach started to rumble. She just ignored it because Alexa’s effort might have been wasted and she was the one who asked him to cook for her, so she would just put up with it first. While she was waiting, sitting on a long chair, someone suddenly sat beside her, and their arms were almost touching. Her forehead immediately wrinkled, but she didn’t look at the person next to her because maybe later he was planning something bad, so she became alert even though it wasn’t obvious. She saw him remove the hat from his head even though her eyes were looking ahead. “How are you, Lexie?” said the man next to her. Her forehead furrowed, and she slowly turned to face the one next to her, but she didn’t know the man, and she was sure that the Lexie he was referring to was her because now their faces were facing each other. “Me?” It smiled at her. “Yes.” “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.” And get a little further away from the man so there is space between them. It nodded. “I still know you.” Astonished, she turned to the man again. “How do you know me, but I don’t know you?” “It’s been a few years, so you might have forgotten what it looks like.” In Lexie’s mind, “He’s handsome and tall, but I don’t remember knowing him based on his face.” “We are college batch mates.” “Really?” “Yes.” “What section are you in?” “Section A, I was.” “How come you know who I am?” she wondered. “I was your secret admirer then. Someone gave you a letter back then; it was even in an envelope. ” Her eyes widened at the discovery. “It’s you!” with vigor, she said. It smiled as I saw the white teeth. “Yes, I am.” “I’m not sure who is sending the letter. The person you ordered to give also doesn’t want to say anything, so I can’t believe it’s you and we’ve met today. ” “Because I didn’t have the courage then, and you also noticed that I stopped near our graduation because I felt like I had no hope. You also don’t know who I am or my face, but I said to myself, maybe I should try giving a letter first, and maybe you can fall for those simple letters or give a letter what you answer, but I haven’t received even one since my first year of college, so I quit.” She looked at the man first before shifting her gaze to the ground. “Because I want you to give it yourself. During our few years in college, why didn’t you dare to approach me? You still say a lot in the letter, but you’re too shy to introduce yourself in person. ” “I thought there was no hope, so I didn’t have the courage to introduce myself.” .”Did you know that I still have the envelopes containing your letters then?” The man was startled and suddenly turned to her. “The amount that almost filled my drawers with your letter then, but now in a box that is big and the envelopes are still in order.” “Meaning…” “You were the only one I was waiting for to show up and introduce yourself without going through the letter, but the day came when you didn’t introduce yourself and you stopped giving letters to people who hadn’t met you personally.” “Because I thought…”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“I don’t notice your effort, you’re wrong then. I read all your letters then. I’m even excited when the student gives me the envelope you ordered to give me. It doesn’t mean that I didn’t reply or that I didn’t notice what you were doing. I thought then that you might just be embarrassed, so in your letter you go through what you wanted to tell me, and I won’t hide your letters if you just ignore me back then. ” The man was stunned for a moment by what he found out. “But how is your life now?” “It’s okay, I have a job. How about you? ” “An agent.” “Agent?” “My service is to find the missing, investigate crime scenes, and so on. That’s kind of work. ” “Really? It’s all your hard work. ” “Quite, but I’m happy with my job even if it’s dangerous.” Suddenly, someone called Lexie on the phone, and she saw on the name screen that it was Alexa. “Hello! Alexa,” Lexie said. The person next to her became interested in the person she was talking to on the other line. “I’m sorry, the tire of the bus I’m riding on exploded and it’s being replaced now. I’m really sorry! “A few moments later, Lexie put down her phone. “Your friend?” the man asked. Lexie frowned. “Yes, Alexa, don’t you know her?” “No. ” “If you were really an admirer, then you should know her too. I always have her with me whenever she comes out of the classroom. ” “I didn’t notice her very much then.” “Anyway, Alexa was very quiet back then and didn’t really pay attention.” The man dared to ask. “What’s her last name then?” “Larson, Alexa Larson.” The man’s world stopped to hear his friend’s name and surname. “Glen is your name, isn’t it?” Lexie asked. To his shock, he only nodded. “Are you together now?” “Yes.” “Is your place or house just near here?” “It’s only been an hour’s drive and I’m at 143 Santiago St., where Alexa and I live.” “Are you at home together?” “Yes, until now.” Lexie noticed that the bus conductor was already waving. That means they have to get back on the bus as well. It looks like the bus is okay now. I need to leave. ” “Nice to see you again.” She smiled at Glen and ran away. Glen could have said something more, but he didn’t get it. “Jack needs to know where Alexa is located.” He picked up his cellphone and called Jack. It was also identified before it was answered. “Why did you take so long to answer?” he asked Jack. “I’m sorry, I’m out and I have a business partner meeting. Why did you call? ” “I already know where Alexa is.” Jack stopped driving when Glen said. “Really?” “Yeah, it’s just near here at 143 Santiago St.” The nervousness in Jack’s chest increased even more as he was getting closer to the address, it said. “I’m closer now to the address you’re saying.” “I need to survey that area first to find out where her house is.” “I think I’ll just lose my nervousness and excitement when I’m in that place. I have to go first even though I don’t know where she is in that place yet. ” Glen said that Jack immediately dropped the phone call and quickly drove his car to the address. While Glen ran into his car. “It’s really dangerous, I have to follow and maybe I’m too nervous to have a problem,” he said and left the place.
