CHAPTER 61
"Huh? Hindi po kita kilala." May bahid ng kaba sa pananalita noong babae.
"Sorry, wrong person." sagot ko at inalis sa balikat niya ang aking kamay.
Malalim ang pinakawalan kong buntong hininga at iniikot muli ang tingin sa paligid.
I was so sure about who I saw earlier. It was definitely her! Imposible namang magkaibang tao ang nalapitan at nakita ko nang harap harapan.
Now I'm questioning myself. Let's just say that I haven't seen her or learned anything about her whereabouts in the last three years. Is she really gone?
Even Henderson disappeared that night. It seems like they are hiding something from everyone who knows about them.
Napasabunot ako sa aking buhok at luminga linga to check kung nandito talaga siya.
Damn!
Where are you to begin with? I'm in chaos already and,
I'm longing this much for you to the extent where I'm having hallucinations that you're here.
I hoped there's still a possibility I'd be able to see you again.
Naibagsak ko na lang ang dalawa kong kamay at nagsimula muling maglakad.
I set the thought aside again lalo na at nandito ako para pakalmahin ang sarili ko.
I did go here to get something so I made a quick call to inform someone about the suit that I'll be needing for the dinner with the university's major investors.
"I'll get it ready sir!" a lady answered on the other line. I think she's the manager. I said my thanks bago ko ibinaba pinaatay angtawag.
"I told you that I'm a big boy now, stop babying me!" seryosong ani ng batang lalaki na magkasalubong ang dalawang kilay ngayon.
"How old are you again?" I heard him sigh. "You're still a kid Raver, stop acting like an adult." Tiningnan ko ang lalaking umimik na hawak ang kamay ni Raver, that young boy's name.
It's been such a long time and everyone's reappearing like it's only yesterday.
Nang mapansin niyang nakatigil ako sa harapan nila ay agad naman niya akong tiningnan at ngumiti. Napansin ko rin ang pagkabigla niya pero he composed himself.
"Mr. Helffrich! It's nice seeing you here!" bati niya sa akin with formality.
Maliit na ngiti ang naitugon ko bago pa ako tuluyang makapagsalita. "Yeah, you too March." Muli kong ibinaling ang aking tingin doon sa batang nakatitig lang din sa akin. "Your son?" tanong ko sa kanya.
His hair. it caught my attention from the start. His facial features and the way he acts on things are similar to someone I knew and will never forget.
His eyes widened and scratched the back of his neck at nailing na ngumiti.
"Well," he said. I guess he's thinking about what to answer next.
