A Mad Woman, Allison.

CHAPTER TWO: THEIR ENCOUNTER

I lost my balance right after he pushed me. Now, I'm mad.

He immediately went on where I landed, and he was about to help me when I stood up. “I'll get going.”

Hinabol niya ako't hinarang. “Sorry! Hindi ko sinasadya! Hindi ko alam na matutulak kita nang gano'n kalakas—”

I didn't mind what he was saying. I continue walking. Of course, he was responsible for his actions! Of whom else will the responsibility be?

“Kung galit ka, gantihan mo na lang ako. Sampalin, suntukin, sigawan, kahit ano. Maniwala ka, nadala lang ako. Hindi ko rin alam na—” I cut him off.

“Forget it. I'm done with this. If you want this garden alone, it's all yours. Do what you want. It's like as if I'm too desperate having a garden when I can go to parks.” Nagtuloy-tuloy na ako't hindi na siya hinayaang makapagsalita.

I can't let him ruin my already-ruined day. I am so pissed off that I badly want to scream! Too bad, I can't scream right now because it'd cause a scandal. If only this guy is not a jerk, edi sana I'd have my relaxation time right now. I can't go to parks. I'm scared it'd be a lot of people in there. And I can't go to a crowded place for some reason.

Instead of reminiscing the past, I just decided to find a dormitory or an apartment. I forgot to inform Selene because I was too excited going back to that garden and just being pissed by a damn guy.

I went to my first destination which was near our school din naman. I talked to the owner, and we had a negotiation, but I didn't like the room's atmosphere so I didn't make a deal with the owner. I also found another apartment and talked to the owner, too, but it's a bit pricey and the design is not that beautiful naman. And at last, I found the last apartment which was the apartment I rented.

“This apartment has an approximate value of 14 sq. meters. Perfect for an individual renter like you, Miss. It's also located here in Diliman, which is an advantage because it's near your university. The monthly payment will be worth 5,500 pesos, Ma'am.” The owner smiled at me.

I think I'll just take this one. It suits my taste. “Alright. It's a deal, I'll take this.”

After our deal, I called kuya driver to make hatid my stuff, so that I'll not have a hard time moving to my room.

A few minutes later he came. He also helped me on carrying the things that are a bit heavy, even though I told him not to. That I can carry it myself. He insisted and told me it was his job. I said that his job is being a driver, not a luggage carrier. I just let him do it. I can't be arguing with everyone now that I'm already been annoyed by a douchebag. Maybe I'll just fix everything later after resting for a while. Where should I stay to relax, then?

I search for parks on the internet. I just hope there's not much people are staying there, or else I'll be staying here near this place. Only if I could have my own car, I'd not have to call kuyang driver over and over again.

We arrived at La Mesa Ecopark. Thank God, it's not crowded in here. I invited kuya driver to join me but he said he will just stay near the car.

I sat on one of the benches. I suddenly felt relaxed. I couldn't ask for more. This is my stress-reliever. Nature. Sunrise. Beautiful sceneries.

I couldn't help but smile.

I hope I can just stay this way. I hope I was just exposed to these places when I was just a child. Not in a mall full of people. I hope I can turn back time. I'd probably wish to be a kid again.

“Ma'am, okay lang po kayo?” Kuya Driver was tapping my shoulder. I almost breakdown again.

I came back to my senses and answered, “Yes, kuya, medyo stressed lang siguro kanina.”
