After All: Eccentric Collection No.1

Chapter 24

E.C. 1

She lazily opened her eyes when she heard a knocked on the doors.

"Anak, Jastine, aalis na ko," The old man stopped for awhile as he think his daughter inside her room.

He sighed heavily.

"Kumain ka anak. Huwag mong gutumin ang sarili mo."

Naghintay muna ang ama nito sa labas. Nagbabakasaling sasagot ang anak sa mga sinabi nya ngunit wala. Kaya may pag aalalang umalis na ang matanda.

Sa loob ng isang kwarto, nakatitig lamang ang dalaga sa kisame nito. Blangko at walang iniisip. She raised up her right hand like she's touching the ceiling. Hinayaan nya ang sariling malibang sa ganong posisyon. Eventually, she felt her own stomach. Labag sa loob na tumayo ang dalaga. But she hold on the table beside her bed nang makaramdam ng pagkahilo. Napahawak sya sa ulo at napapikit.

Sino ba naman ang taong matutulog ng maghapon ng walang kain?

When she felt she's fine, she walked downstairs and search for the food. Nang may nakitang lutong ulam sa lamesa, kumain na ang dalaga. Ilan palang ang naisusubo nya when she stopped and stared out of nowhere. A minute passed when she realized what she was doing. Jastine shrugged her head. She decided to go outside. Maybe a mall or park would help her.

That's why after she took a bath, she fixed her self. One spray of her favorite perfume, she put it down. Napagdesisyunan nyang mag commute nalang para malaya nyang mapagmasdan ang paligid.

Nang makapasok sa loob ng mall, inilibang nya ang sarili. Hanggang sa makarating sya sa isang retail establishment for men. Naisip nyang bilhan ng damit or sapatos ang papa nya kaya nagtingin tingin ang dalaga. Napukaw ang paningin nya sa ang isang casual black shirt.

She was about to get it and look the size when a hand grabbed it. Tiningnan nya ang taong yon.

"Do they have some big size of this? Extra large..." Saad nito habang sinusuri ang damit.

"Masyadong fit sa kanya but I'm pretty much sure, he'll be more sexy with this clothe."

Jastine looked away at saktong may nakita syang mas babagay sa papa nya. Maglalakad na sana ito palayo nang pigilan at hawakan sya sa kamay ng babae.

"Wait."

Tiningnan lamang ng dalaga ito ng walang bakas na emosyon.

"I want to talk with you."

Bumitaw sya sa pagkakahawak but Sea is persistent to what she want. She didn't let her leave.

"I just want to know your side. Kung paano kayo-"

"Fine."

Sea only nodded at her. Nainis si Jastine sa turan nito. Nakalimutan na nya ang magpakumbaba at magbigay pasensya dahil kung iisipin, sya itong nakagawa ng pagkakamali.

Sinundan nya ang babae at pumasok sila sa isang restaurant.

Nang makaupo, agad na may lumapit sa kanilang waiter. Kinuha ni Sea ang menu.

"What do you want to eat?" She asked.

"Nothing."

Sea looked at her and then she gave back the menu to the waiter and nodded. Nang sila na lamang dalawa, bumuntong hininga si Sea tsaka hinarap ang kasama. Tanging nakatingin lang ito sa lamesang pumapagitna sa kanilang dalawa. She also looked at it but she saw nothing aside from the table is well clean. Sea examined Jastine. Trying to find something on her.

But she suddenly shocked her a bit.

"We met in unexpected place. It was a night with a shooting stars above the sky. How romantic right?"
