"No."
I saw him lick his lower lip, nodding a little. Muli akong bumaling sa daan, umaasang makakakita ng sasakyan. Maybe I can just call someone to get my car?
Hindi pa rin siya umaalis do'n kahit na sinabi ko nang hindi ko kailangan ng tulong. I went inside my car, retrying to operate but it just won't work! Lahat na ata ng kamalasan, nasalo ko na.
"M-Maybe I can help you...in any ways." Hindi ko siya pinansin. Wala akong panahon para sa kanya. All I want now is to leave this place and him!
"I can handle this. Alone." Bitterness is visible in my tone. Nakita ko namang sandali siyang natigilan. I cleared my throat. "I still have more important things to do, so, if you wouldn't mind, can I have my way?" I told him because he's blocking my car's door.
He raised his hand, looking like he surrender. I smirk inside. Muli akong lumabas ng sasakyan and thankfully, may nakuha akong taxi. I told him that I have some groceries with me. Nagpadagdag pa ng bayad. Kung may choice lang ako, hindi ako sasakay dito.
"I-I can get your car, where's your pl---,"
"No need. I have my friend, I'll just tell them to get that for me." Hindi ko na hinintay na sumagot siya. I texted Colby, one of friends I made here in this country.
Upon staying here, I gradually adopted some of their cultures. Slowly, I learned the way they live. Pati ang paraan ng pagsasalita nila, unti-unti ko na ding naa-adopt.
Hindi katulad sa Pilipinas, mas organisado ang bansang ito. From highways, transportation, and people. Everything seems so clean, and yeah, it refreshes my entire system.
But something caught my thought.
Dillion is also here in Singapore, which is not impossible for this is his hometown. I thought he had no plans on getting back here? I even remembered him saying that Singapore is boring and dull, once.
Until now, I can still feel my body trembling. Cold enveloped my body as sweats started to form bullets on my forehead.
It's been years since the last time I saw him. And I already forgot him. Not totally but a part of me never look for his presence anymore. Unlike the previous months.
I heave a sigh before looking outside. Ano ba kasing ginagawa niya dito? And the nerve of him to talk to me after what he'd done.
I scoffed before checking my phone when it beeped.

wutt time u need it? i still have meetings to attend ;)
Napabuntong hininga ako kasi hindi ako sure kung hanggang kailan pwedeng magpark ang sasakyan ko do'n. I pursed my lips before typing my reply.
To: Colby
No need. I'll have someone to get that, I guess. Thanks.
From: Colby
wer r u? i'll call kendric to fetch u if u can't drive
Kendric and him are both my friends, but Kendric and I aren't that close so I am not able to send him a message. I smiled because Colby's being so worried again.
To: Colby
It's okay if he's busy, too. I understand.
From: Colby
busy his ass ರ_ರ
Mahina lang akong tumawa saka tinago ang cellphone. Sana naman hindi busy si Kendric kasi kung oo, wala na akong ibang choice kundi ibaba 'tong pinamili ko sa unit at balikan ang kotse ko do'n.
Paminsan-minsan ay pinagmamasdan ko ang mga punong nakatayo lang kahit saan. Ilang beses ko na 'tong nakikita pero gan'on pa din 'yung pakiramdam. It's comforting, and for some reason, it made me smile. I will never get tired of the scenery.
