"Thank you Atty. Guevarra."

Tumayo ako mula sa upuan at kinamayan si Mr. Dela Cruz na isa sa mga clients ko.

"My pleasure," I politely replied

"Next meeting will be?"

"Next week po."

He smiled awkwardly while scratching his head. "Right. Sorry, makakalimutin na ako."

Ilang sandali ay nagpaalam na kami sa isa't isa. "Ingat po kayo."

He waved his hand to me before going inside his car. Sinundan ko iyon ng tingin hanggang sa makalayo.

I fixed my bag on my shoulder and walked towards my car. As I got nearer, I suddenly caught someone from the corner of my eyes. Napalingon ako at nakita ang isang lalaki na nakatayo sa kabilang kalsada. He was looking at my direction. I couldn't see his face because he's far away from me plus he has a cap on. Naka-itim din siya na jacket.

The hair of my skin rose up. My eyes narrowed while looking at him closely. The other pedestrians were already walking across the streets. Then a bus passed by. My eyes widened when he suddenly disappeared. Tumingin tingin ako sa paligid pero ni anino niya ay hindi ko makita.

Binalik ko ang tingin sa kotse. I held my keys tightly.

What if he's the one who sent me the box? Who's he? Is he a stalker? I can't help but to feel scared of my life.

Pumasok na ako ng kotse at dumiretso sa condo ko.

"Kuya, pwede ko po bang icheck ang cctv footage na nasa floor ko?" paki-usap ko sa guard

"Bakit ma'am? May nangyari po ba?"

I bit my lip. "Wala naman. I just want to check something."

"Ahh kaso ma'am, sira po kasi yung cctv sa floor niyo. Ang mayroon lang kami ay dito sa lobby at sa first floor."

"Gano'n po ba?"

He nodded. "Opo."

I sighed and stared down at the floor, while thinking hard. Inangat ko ulit ang paningin sa kanya. "If there's any chance that someone came here na nagdedeliver ng mga package?"

"Po? Parang lalamove or shopee rider?"

I blinked a couple of times and slowly nodded.

His brows furrowed while thinking hard. "Wala naman po. Usually po kasi kapag may gano'n ay iniiwan po sa receptionist yung order tapos kami na yung nagaabot sa kanila. Hindi po kami basta basta nagpapapasok kahit sino dito."

As expected, mahigpit ang security nila dito but the bad news is, I wouldn't be able to find out the identity of the man or my creepy stalker. I started to get stressed and frustrated.

"Ah sige po. Salamat," sabi ko nalang at tinalikuran na siya

Palabas na ko ng condo nang biglang nag-ring ang phone ko. Nakita ko ang pangalan ni Lou sa caller I.D.

"Hello?"

"Hey Fey! What's up? Can we meet? Kahit saglit lang."

"Uh, sure."

"Yes! I'll send you the address of my location."

Binaba ko na ang tawag at sakto ay natanggap ko ang mensahe niya. I drove all the way to the address that she sent me. I parked my car into this boutique shop.

"Fey! Finally you're here." She waved her hand when she saw me. She smiled widely in excitement.

Lumabas na ako ng kotse at sinalubong siya.
