Perfect Stranger Series 1: Accidental Stalker (Ongoing)

Chapter Eight; Meal

Demi's POV

All that happened sticked to the plan, except that CR scene of Kithene. Gano'n ba kapuno ang pantog n'ya at hindi n'ya nakita ang sign na MALE sa pinto ng CR? Anyways, I'm glad she didn't recognize us.

The rose from Brye was scripted. He intentionally give that flower and the 'date' thing. We just want to know her more, she's too confidential that made us - or just me, confused.

And I didn't know and expected that this Kithene had a good voice, huh? She surprised me on how she enjoyed herself on strumming the guitar while singing gracefully. At hindi ko s'ya pinupuri, stating what I hear and saw.

"She's good," Akky complemented that made my gaze turned to him.

He then coughed and wink to me. What does he want to say with that look?

I just rolled my eyes to him and roam my sight to the crowd. Where she's smiling while swaying with the song.

"Who's she?"

Napaubo naman ako nang kalabitin ako ni papa. Nakalimutan kong NASA likod pala nila kami, nakatayo.

I looked down to him frowning, asking who he meant. He then point his lips to the crowd. The fudgebar! How did he noticed?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a mind reader or what, just observant. And you were just too obvious." He said then look at me suspiciously. Hindi naman s'ya chismoso, mausisa lang. "So?"

"Ellise."

Maikli kong tugon sa tanong n'ya na ikina-ngiti naman nito.

"And how did you know her?"

Oops..wrong move ata na sinabi ko ang pangalan. I bite my tongue to stop my surprised expression.

I look at the three who's now smiling like a chipmunks, asking for help but seems they'd enjoy what's happening.

Hindi pala alam ng mga magulang namin ang pagpapanggap naming kalokohan, at wala naman silang paki, siguro kapag babaeng usapan lang. Gusto raw nila mag-alaga uli ng bata tapos sa'min nanghihingi, Tama ba 'yon? Dapat gumawa sila ng kanila, nag-anak ng isa tapos gusto pala ng madami.

"I met her lately on our way here."

Palusot ko pa tsaka tumingin sa malayo.

A seconds passed, Akky was now singing with Kithene that made the crowd more wild.

"Did you talk?" Tanong pa ulit ng curious kong ama.

Minsan hindi ko na talaga alam kung businessman ba 'to o lawyer, o baka tita n'ya si marites.

"No."

"Then how did you know her name?"

Oh God! This man was exhausting my braincells. Think! Think! Think!

"Her ID," I replied that made him nod, muntik na 'yon ah.

If you remember I never gone into public. They knew my name but not my face. They knew that my father had a son but don't know who. So this is the first time I reveal myself in public, syempre may dahilan kung bakit - for her. Wearing this warm clothes helps me to remain hidden, but the worst decision.

I'm sweating that made me want to took of these hoodie and annoying mask anytime around.

Ang tatlo, pinagkakaguluhan pero ako nasa likod lang nila. Ayaw ko madumog at baka kung ano pa ang matanggal sa suot ko. Still, I don't want to reveal, still want to be confidential until we finally found her.
