"Hey guys! I'm back. Sorry I'm late! I took a U turn and-" nakita kong wala na sila. "Manang, saan po sila?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"Unuwi na po sir. Bago bago lang." Hmm ... so umuwi na pala sila. So more pizzas for me!
Umakyat ako at pumasok sa room ko. I wonder who's that guy really is. I mean, bakit kailangan niyang mag wig? And kailangan niyang mag shades eh hindi naman mainit?
He's so mysterious! And I want to know him more. I'll ask Matthew if they have a gig tomorrow.
Kinuha ko yung Iphone 6 ko at tinext si Matthew.
Ako: Math?
Matthew: what?
Ako: do you have a gig tomorrow?
Matthew: yeah, why?
Ako: nothing.
Matthew: hey! By the way, bakit ang tagal mo kanina? Nagugutom na kami.
Ako: sorry, may pinuntahan pa kasi ako.
Matthew: ok.
Haytz! I'm so confuse right now. Maybe I should sleep now.
---------------------------------------------
I'm here now at the bar and It's been 3 days since I keep studying Al. And I keep noticing that he's quite close at the manager.
Maybe I should talk to the manager. Pinuntahan ko ang manager na nililinisan ang mga glass.
"Excuse me." Tumingin siya sakin. "What can I do for you?" Tanong niya. "Um, can you tell me about Al?" Tanong ko. Napatahimik lang siya at parang problemado. Ayaw niya yatang gusto ikwento.
"Uh, well it's okay if you won't tell me. I understand if it's private." Sabi ko at papaalis na sana.
"No, it's not that. It's just that, it's the first time that someone is curious about Al's life." Sabi niya with a smile.
"Al's my childhood friend and we live at an orphanage. I was 15 and she was 5 years old. Kahit hindi kami magkadugo ay kapatid parin ang turingan namin. At ngayong nagkatrabaho nako, hindi ko na kailangang tumira doon sa orphanage. " explain niya.
"Wait, did you just say 'She'?" Pagtataka ko. "Yeah."
"Wait! You mean Al is a Girl and not a boy?!" Sabi ko.
0.0 ganito lang yung mukha niya. Parang shock na shock. "Shhhhhh!!!!!" Sabi niya. "Please don't say it to your cousin. She'll lose a job if you'll tell them!" Sabi niya in a lower voice.
Right! Hindi pala tumatanggap ng babae ang banda nila Matthew.
"Alam mo naman noon pa ang tungkol sa 'no girls allowed' ng group nila Matthew diba? And they told me that your the one who let 'her' in at the group." Sabi ko.
"Yes, I did it because she wanted a job. She wants to be an independent woman. She doesn't wants to live in that orphanage anymore. So I recommended her a job. I told her to act as a boy para makasali siya and she did." Sabi niya in a proud way.
"Well, she really hid it well. I think no one has notice it yet." Sabi ko.
"Please, keep this a secret for them. I don't want to make her lose a job." Nagmamakaawa ang manager.
"Ok. I won't tell them but in exchange ...... tell me more about 'her'" sabi ko sa manager.
"It's a deal." Nakipagshake hands kaming dalawa sa isa't isa.
"By the way, how did you became a manager to this bar, Manager?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"Oh, you don't need to call me Manager. Just call me Fritz, I rather use that." Sabi niya.
"This bar was owned by my good friend, his name is Charles. I met him 5 years ago. And now, he's in paris. May branch na siya roon and he left this bar to me." Kwento niya. Oh, so that's why.
"Hey Oz! Let's go home." Tawag sakin ni Matthew kasama sina Cater at Roland.
"Um, we need to go. Thanks for the informations." Paalam ko sa kanya. "No probs! Ask me anything :)"
Tumakbo patungo kanila Matthew. "What were you talking about?" Tanong ni Roland. "It's nothing."
"Let's go to Greenwich first before we go home!" Sigaw ni Roland while both his hands.
