Hello Neighbor Maritza Mga Nobela at Kwento

By 9:30 pm, we were already packing our things. I asked Allan where Miss Martina is and he told me she was picked up by her boyfriend. He was driving a Honda Civic black. Of course, the high and mighty Christopher. I was used to accompanying her to her apartment, have dinner with her, make love to her and sleep next to her. Smell the scent of her hair, smells like Jasmin. When I was with her, we just ride a jeepney to her place. Martina had a health condition back then. She had a myoma in her

And now… my husband’s life hangs in the balance too. The phone rings again, just as we’re halfway to the hospital. I snatch it from my lap, breath catching in my throat. “Yes? Is this about Juan?” A new voice, stern and professional, replies, “Mrs. Martinez? This is Lieutenant Harris. I need you to come to the accident site. There’s been… a complication.”

"A Maserati was parked downstairs earlier. Is that your friend?" "Do you have a problem?" Noelle asked instead. "No. I just think… We're neighbors, so I'd like to be friends with you." The woman beamed at Noelle, who wasn't interested in making friends with her. After telling her that the Maserati car owner wasn't her friend, Noelle closed the door. She could hear the woman shouting from outside, but she ignored it and tossed her leftover prescription on the table. Suddenly, she recalled the call Maxwell made earlier. Although she had no idea about Hendrix's reaction on the other end of the line, she knew that what Maxwell said at the end was true.

Helia. Minutes later… I’m climbing into my car after grabbing takeout when my phone blares in my pocket. The second I see Martha’s number flashing on the screen, my stomach drops. “Martha?” I answer, already bracing, fear spiking. My mind goes straight to Alexa. “Hi, Helia… it’s Alexa.” Martha's voice comes, except it’s shaking. “She just arrived here. Came running, because your brother tried to snap her neck in two.”

The cardboard box gave a small groan as I dropped it by the wall. "Easy with that," Martha said behind me, raising a brow. "My charger’s in there." I turned to look at her, grinning. "What would we ever do if your phone died?" “World ends,” she replied, smirking. Marcus was on the floor across the room, setting up the tiny Wi-Fi box with serious focus. “We better get signal here,” he muttered. “Hazel Town looks like it barely has electricity.”

I let Marcy lead the way so I could find her car. “How was Florida?” Marcy said. “And your stepmother, is she a total bitch, or sometimes she plays the nice card game with you?” She tried to bring up a conversation. “I can see your car. Over there, yeah?” I asked as soon as I spotted the baby blue Mercedes. “Yup!” Marcy said. She twirled at once. Smoothly, she spun on her heels. Her balance didn't wobble for a second. “Miguel think fast. Catch!” Marcy said and threw her key at him.

I lifted my hands and bumped fists with the air as I looked up at the sky—my way of shaking hands with the Lord. “Lord! I’m putting my life in Your hands! Make me rich!” I said with a giggle. “Marimar’s gone crazy,” I heard some neighbors mutter. My cheeks burned with embarrassment as I ducked my head and hurried down the street. What was I thinking? I must have lost my mind. “Marimar!” A woman waved as I reached the main road—she was Tita’s friend. A large white van sat parked in front of me. “I’m so sorry for keeping you waiting,” I said. I had been so excited I almost had an accident earlier, but my aunt’s shouting interrupted me.

Her eyes stayed wide and bright, fixed on Rowan with an intensity that was purely mechanical. "Sit, sit!" Martha chirped. "I've been waiting for the 'Re-Population' event. The Shareholders said you'd be arriving today." Rowan paused, his hand on a chair. "The who? The Shareholders?" Martha’s head tilted to the side with a sharp, bird-like jerk. A low, grinding sound came from her neck. "The... the... Neighbors! The Neighbors said you'd be arriving! I'm so sorry, my hearing isn't what it used to be!"

I think of what to do, fast. The fence is small, I could just jump in. But then I heard a voice behind me. I spin. A lady greets me with a curious look. “Hi, looking for someone?” I turn, impatient. “Yes. Tamara.” A look of confusion mars her forehead. I pull my phone out. “Have you by any chance seen this lady?” Her brows rose. “That’s Rissa,” she says with a soft smile. “I'm Maria, her neighbor, and oh she texted me about having a guest over and won't be available till tomorrow,”

She needed a door that was not on the contract. Just after two in the morning she sent a single encrypted message to a number she had not used in three years. The reply came seventeen minutes later. Old contact. Human. A woman named Mara who had once helped Aria’s mother with paperwork when Aria was still a teenager and the packs had seemed like someone else’s problem. Mara did not ask why. She only sent a time and a location: a twenty-four-hour diner on the human side of the border, six-fifteen a.m., come alone.
