THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
"Thank you." Theodore said as he took his orders in a milktea shop.
It's a milktea shop near the school of Miel. He saw it when he drove Miel to her school and he thought of trying their products. While buying, he can't stop thinking of Miel so he brought her a milktea too.
Theodore went out the shop. He entered his car and drove it towards Miel's school.
When he arrived at the school, the guard immediately blocked him that made him confused. He looked at the guard and saw that it's Alvin, the guard who's close to him and Miel.
"Sir, I'm sorry but outsiders are not allowed here. May I know your intentions, sir?" The guard asked Theodore who is smiling widely.
"Alvin. It's me, Theodore." Theodore said that surprised the guard.
"But...." The guard said and look at Theodore intently.
"I just get rid of my eyeglasses and I gained weight and made my body a bit muscular." Theodore explained.
The guard went closer and stared at Theodore's face. Minutes later, the guard started to smile.
"Theo!" The guard said then he hugged Theodore.
However, the two didn't noticed that Miel is walking silently towards the main gate and she went out of the school. She was staring blankly at the road like she is out of her mind.
On the other hand, Theodore and Alvin let go from each other's hug.
"I didn't know your now here in the Philippines." Said Alvin then he slightly hit the back of Theodore's shoulder.
"Yeah just a week ago." Theodore replied.
"By the way, what brought you here?" Asked Alvin.
Theodore was about to answer his question when Alvin speak again.
"Ah! You're looking for Miel. I'm sure of that." Said Alvin that made both of them smile.
"Yeah. Do you know her classroom?" Theodore asked.
"Ah it's in that buildi-----"Alvin!" The guard was interrupted by a loud shout of a teacher.
The teacher was running with her bare foot and she's holding her heels like she took it off to chase someone.
"Yes, ma'am. How may I help you?" Alvin asked politely.
"Miel went out! Didn't you notice her?" The teacher said, panicking.
"My apologies, ma'am. I didn't notice her let's just wait for her to comeback and know her reason of going out." Alvin said calmly but the teacher is still worried.
"No!" The teacher immediately said. "She looks like she's out of her mind. I talked to her when I passed by her but she's not answering. She's just staring blankly in front.
"Shit." Theodore said then he immediately run towards his car and drove it. She called Miel, hoping that she brought her phone.
The phone rang many times but after a few seconds, she finally answered the call. But it's not her.
"Hello? Ms. Dela Vega is not here. Kindly refrain from calling we're in the middle of an examination. Thank you." Someone said on the other line then she immediately hang up.
"Tsk. Miel, where are you?" He whispered while looking at the pavements.
The strong rain suddenly fall and that made him more worried about Miel.
After twenty minutes of walking, when he returned his gaze to the road, A girl suddenly cross the road so he push the button of his car's horn but the girl didn't notice it.
"How come that she didn't notice it?" He asked himself.
So he decided to stop the car before it reaches the girl. Suddenly the girl look at the his direction and there she familiarized her face.
"Miel!" He exclaimed but Miel suddenly passed out.
Theodore immediately went out of his car and ran towards Miel, not bothering if he will be soak with rain too.
"Miel!" He called then he held Miel's cheek. He tap it lightly and felt how hot she is.
She has a fever.
"What's happening to you?" He whispered then he lift her and carry her in a bridal style. He went to his car and opened its backseat then he carefully lay Miel there. Thankfully, he always have jacket in his car. He took it then she covered Miel's body using it. After ensuring that Miel is okay, he closed the door and went to the driver's seat and drove his car to Miel's house.
"Theo! What happened?" Mariella said when she saw Theodore entered his house while carrying her daughter, Miel.
She immediately walk towards them and reached for Miel.
"She's so hot!" She said. Mariella called her maids and ordered them to prepare the bathtub in Miel's room. The maids immediately obeyed Mariella.
"Theo, please follow me." Mariella said then she escort Theo to Miel's room.
****************
"What happened to her?" Mariella worriedly asked Theo while staring at Miel who is sleeping peacefully in her bed. She's already dry and wearing a clean and dry clothes.
"I don't know either, tita. I went to their school to give her some milktea as a goodluck gift for her exam but suddenly her teacher said that she went out of the school like she's out of her mind. I looked at her then I saw her walking in the rain and lost her conciousness in the middle of the road then when I came to her to get her, I felt that she's burning hot. " Theo explained to Mariella.
"Oh God." Mariella said then she held Miel in her forehead. "What's happening to you, darling?" She asked.
Mariella look at her daughter with a sad and worried eyes then she turned her gaze to Theodore.
"Do you have any idea on why would Miel do this to herself?" Mariella asked.
"I don't know, tita." Theodore said even if he has already someone in his mind that made Miel do this to herself, he just need to confirm it.
"Ah, tita. I have something to do. I have to go now. I'll comeback later." Theodore said then he went out of the house to go to his car then she drove it. He's planning to talk to Matthew.
He look at his wrist watch and saw that he need to go there immediately since their dismissal is approaching.
After minutes if driving, he arrived at the school two minutes earlier than the time of dismissal
Theodore went inside the school where the parking lot is located and the guard let him in because he knew him.
When Theodore finally got inside the school, he parked his car near the entrance of the parking lot and waited for the dismissal. When the bell rang, Theodore went out of his car. He closed its door and leaned in it.
He waited for ten minutes before he finally saw Matthew walking with a furrowed eyebrows.
"Matthew." he called.
Matthew slowly look at Theodore and he frown more after seeing Theodore's face.
Now, they were both glaring at each other.
