Chapter 5:WARNING

ROWOON KO

While walking, reaching the end of the aisle, I heard vehicles running. I rushed excitedly towards the end of that alley. Smiling and feeling relieved that I could finally see the main road and ride a cab going home.

"What a relief! been stocked for so long, I think it will go forever! hahah " natatawa kong bulong sa sarili.

I forgot the very purpose why I went here, ang alam ko gusto ko ng umuwi at kumain. Humiga sa malambot kong kama at sa malamig kong room.

"Haist what a comfortable life I have, thanks to my parents."

Now, seeing in my very own eyes the main road, buses, cars, and people going around makes me thrilled and excited. Honestly, that was what I felt at that moment. However, seeing street lights that stands by the side of a road to light it up my way. As the day darkened the streetlights came on in different colors and shapes. A beautiful night sky, the stars that shine bright as a half-moon giving a sort of light also in the surrounding.

As I walk in the street there's something significant that bothers me that I can't figure out for that pivotal moment. I have something in my mind and my heart that gives gravity or weight that lead me to this road. Where the path that I take strolling gives light to my mind to amble what my future will be. I remember the remix song "Somewhere Than Road" na kinanta ni Mr. Gary V. "ganda ng rendition nun, nakakaiyak lang. Yung tipong kapag nagmoment ka nawawala pagkalalaki mo, magiging emotional ka. Hayayayy." bunting hininga ko.

"Kring, kring! buzz buzz" bigla akong napatalon sa lakas ng vibration ng cellphone ko sa maong pants na suot ko. My cell phone is ringing and Randy is calling.

Napahinto ako sa pagmo-moment ko ng oras na iyon. Sobrang humuhugot na ako then suddenly may destruction. "Whew!" huminga muna ako ng malalim bago ko sinagot ang tawag ni Randy.

"Hello, bro!" sagot ko na bigla akong napahinto sa pagsasalita dahil na-cut ako ni Randy.

"Bro, where are you now? Are you okay? Did you reach the main road?" Randy's random questions make me irritated again.

"Yes, bro, finally got here. I'm gonna ride a cab na and go home dude." sagot ko kay Randy with an irritating voice.

"Bakit ba ako naiinis kay Randy ngayon? bulong ko sa sarili.

"Are you sure bro.? sagot ni Randy

"Yeah, dude." simple but direct answer.

"Me too man, I'll be going home. I'm gonna ride a cab too back to the parking lot where I left my car. It's a hassle but you know hindi ko naman pwede iiwan yun, lagot ako sa parents ko." sagot ni Randy na parang wala na talagang balak na balikan ang kotse niya.

"Sure, man!" sagot ko.

"By the way, Ro hindi na kita masusundo d'yan ah at mahahatid sa bahay niyo. Sorry man for troubling you this day, hope you forgive me." Randy's apologizing tone for what been happening to us.

I answered, "No problem, Rands, it was fun and thrilled in another sense, let's have coffee some other time."

Sumagot si Randy, "Dude are you kidding me! magkikita pa tayo bukas. My goodness are you in a state of shock? AMNESIA MODE lang?"

"Hahaha! LOL" tawang tawa kong sagot kay Randy.

"Oo nga pala, I thought I'm in another dimension of life. Thanks for reminding me, hahaha" natatawa kong sagot kay Randy na eventually nawala na ang inis ko sa kanya the time he apologize.

"Hahaha, funny Ro!" sagot ni Randy narinig ko ang malakas na paghagalpak ng tawa sa kabilang linya.

I laughed in response to Randy, "Okay dude, see you tomorrow, bye" sagot kong hindi pa rin maka recover sa pagtawa.
