Last Encounter [SEQUEL-COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 23

Hindi ko alam kung tulong ba ang ginawa ni Rio o sumpa. Dahil pag punta ko sa adress na itinuro nya ay agad akong nalula. Ang daming mga tao at ito pa, ang daming mga foodmart! Fast food at restaurant! Theres big and small business too. If I just could curse Rio in telepathy I would.

Yes he did help but with a twist. He didnt say the exact company name. Darn it! Malay ko bang grocery pala yung pinapasukan ni Ana, o di kaya cake, o di kaya supermarket!

Kaya sa buong araw na iyon ay wala akong nagawa kundi maghanap nalang ng matutuluyan. Meron akong bahay tuluyan na makikita 500 kada week libre tubig at pagkain basta yung titirhan lang babayaran para saakin ayus na yun dahil yung landlord mabait.

I packed my things and a pice of paper drop from one of it.

I wonder what's the view under your lenses.

After I red this before I always kept this with me and trying to figure out what's its hidden mesaage up til now I dont know the clue.

"My lenses? The view?" it's about camera I guess? Then a right word hits me, "What's my view of her under my lenses? What is my erspective of her?"

I cant help but to escape a sad smile. She is afraid that someone looks at her like what everyone does. Hindi ko alam kung para saakin ba tong message na to pero ang alam ko lang ay iba, iba ang tingin ko skanaya. She always like my perfect perception of view.

"Ay salamat hijo! Ang aga mo naman magbayad ineexpect ko mga next week pa eh, may promo kasi kami sa bagong dating" sabay hampas nya sakanyang walis tingting sa sign, "Pero mukhang mayaman ka ah..."

I smile shyly, "A-ako po? Hindi ho ah, wala nga akong pera eh nagbabakasakali lang po"

Tumaas ang kilay nyat umirap, "Hays, sa gwapo mong yan sayang kung hindi. Bakit hindi mo itry mag model? Paniguradong papasok ka doon! Alam mo ba sa baba ng inuupahan mo ay meron ding magandang babae? Pero yung vibes nya nakakatakot gusto ko sana sya alukin ng model dahil yung pamagkin ko ay may kilalang agency... Tss, nagiging madaldal na ako, sige hijo salamat uli"

Ngumiti ako at tumango, "Salamat din po"

Well that's not what I expect to this rental house. Akala ko mas malala ang bubungad saakin gawa ng ngayon lang ako sa tanang buhay ko umalis sa puder nila mama, alam kong alam ni Mama ngunit nanay sya at alam kong nagaalala rin yun.

I shouldve buy a phone.

So that's what I did. Living to this unknown city is like meeting a new people. Kailangan mong kilalanin, kapain at kaibiganin. It's so strange and scary at the same time.

"Malaki po gigabytes nyan sir, no need for memory card po pero in case na mapuno, meron naman po kaming benebenta ritong memory card na swack sa Phone nyo" magalang na lintanya ng sales lady.

I smiled. Hindi naman ako magddownload ng mga laro eh o di kaya mga apps, I just want to call mom. Kapisado ko number nya actually lahat sila ay kapisado ko dahil ayun lagi ang paalala ni Mama for incase emergency that you atleast memorize even a one person in the family.

Three rings then she picks up.

"Yes, hello?"

I smiled, "Ma"

The line fell silent I thought she was gone so I try to look back to the id and it was still there.

"Ma... Bakit po?"

"God!" para syang chimpanzee kung tumili, "David?! How are you, I am trying to get sick... By the way your dad will coming this after noon good luck me son for a better white lies, hmm?"
