After The Truth

Chapter 25

While on my way, A familiar car caught my two eyes. My heart suddenly beat fast. My knees are trembling while sitting on a jeep. Cold sweat on my forehead was falling.

Wala akong nagawa kundi pasimple itong pagmasdan upang makita kung sino ang nagmamaneho ng itim na sasakyan.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganito na lamang kabigat at kabilis ang bawat pintig ng aking dibdib.

Siya ba ang humahabol sa akin o talagang nagiilusyon lamang ako? Hindi ganoon ang sasakyan ni Enzo, ngunit sino? Tauhan niya? Ngunit hindi siya makakakuha ng tauhan dahil mahahanap siya ng pulis!

Ilang minuto lamang ang byahe papuntang bayan, ang bayan ay hindi malaki, sakto lamang para sa mamamayan para sa mga mamamayan na ito.

When I noticed that the jeep stopped from running, agad akong bumama at maglakad ng mabilis. I needto do this, kung uunahin ko ang takot ko ay walang mangyayari sa akin. I need to find a job as much as possible. Hindi ako puwedeng mamuhay sa suwerte.

I looked around, lahat ng tao ay abala sa kanikanilang mga gawain. All the store here are just small compare to the city except on the big building in the middle of the small stores. Saan ako maghahanap nito? I don't have things like ID's, I know it's impossible but I will try it.

I started walking, I walked on the small groceries. There are two women in the store.

"Ano po sa inyo Ma'am?" The older woman said.

"Nag-aaply po ako ng trabaho, are you hiring? " I said politely to them.

Nagkatinginan ang dalawa. What's wrong?

"Sorry ma'am hindi po eh, pasensya na po." They said with smile.

Okay, I expected it. Baka nga walang kumuha sa akin.

"O-okay..." I smile fakely.

Naglakad muli ako. Lagi akong tumitingin sa aking likuran at sa aking gilid kong may sumusunod o nagmamasid ngunit wala. Where's the familiar car?

It's almost two hours of finding, when I finally decided to go up in the big mall. I don't have coice, ito na ang huling pagkakataon ko, sana ay makahanap na ako rito.

I walk inside the mall, the mall is busy. There's a lot of fashion brand inside. Why this small place have this kind of malls? It's so luxurious. But anyways I really need to find job!

When I wad about to walk out inside the elevator. I feel hunger. I don't know the time, maybe it's already late. I only have few money and kailangan kong magtipid.

Pumunta ako sa isang mumurahing fast food chain, with a bee logo. I walked inside the chain and look for the menu. It's like chicken is there main dish. It's only 200 pesos.

When I'm on the counter I realized that I can grab this opportunity to ask if they are hiring. This is famous fastfood baka madami ng naka apply. But I will try it.

After ordering my lunch, I asked the counter if they are hiring but it's not.

I'm on the point in giving up. I need to be desperate, if I only have one percent chance to have a job then I will grab it.

I took my lunch only in a minutes.

I started walking again, and a new store caught my two eyes.

Mabilis akong naglakad patungo sa store na iyon. Malalaki ang aking hakbang.

I am praying na sana ay tumatanggap sila.

Nasa pintuan na ako ng store, it is a local brand, selling fashionable bags, shoes and other items.
