Sandro's POV:
We went to this squatter area near Baclaran. Hiraya was the one leading us.
"Pasensya na kayo sa lugar namin ha." She kept saying this to us.
"It's fine, Hiraya." I said.
I looked at Vinny and Simon and seems like nabigla din sila sa area.
"Are you guys okay?" I asked.
"Yeah bro, this is the first time na nakapunta tayo dito." Vinny said.
"Dito na tayo." Hiraya said and she entered this small makeshift house.
"Ma?" She shouted.
Sumilip naman kaming tatlo banda sa pintuan.
"Ma?" She kept saying.
"Raya?" I heard an old woman speak.
Paglingon namin she was laying on a small couch.
Medyo maputla din ang mukha niya.
"Kamusta ka, Ma?"
"Bakit ngayon ka lang?"
"Kanina ka pa hinahanap ng papa mo." She said in a weak voice.
"Sorry po ha? Pero nandito na ako. Nakainom ka na ba ng gamot?" Hiraya asked her mom habang hinihimas nito ang buhok niya.
"Oo.. binili ni papa mo yung gamot kagabi..."
"Buti naman at kinuha niya yung pera na ibinigay ko."
She said.
Lumingon naman sa amin yung nanay niya.
"May mga bisita ka pala."
"Oh mga, hijo, pumasok kayo." She said.
"Oh no, we just dropped Hiraya here po, to make sure she is safe."
"Pasok muna kayo." Hiraya said smiling at us.
"No need, Hiraya, we also have to go back to Ilocos today." I said.
She took may hand naman bigla na kinagulat ko.
"Sige... pero..."
She slowly leaned closer to me then whispered something.
"Paglabas mo ng simbahan dyan sa Baclaran, may makikita kang babaeng nakasuot ng color orange na dress. Wag mo hahayaan na dumaan lang siya sa harapan mo ha." She said then smiled at me.
Hindi ko naman alam anong isasagot ko.
"Sige po, alis na po kami. Magpagaling po kayo." I said then waved goodbye to Hiraya.
Nasa loob na kami ng sasakyan and I was driving pero yung sinabi pa rin ni Hiraya ang iniisip ko?
Totoo kaya yung mga hula niya sa akin?
I was wandering pero hindi ko naman makita yung babaeng naka-orange pagdaan namin sa may Baclaran banda.
Baka mali lang yung hula niya.
"What kind of a girl wears orange dress?" Biglang tanong ni Simon.
Napalingon naman ako bigla at meron ngang babaeng naka-orange na dress.
Hindi lang orange na dress kundi bright orange.
Nagmukha tuloy syang traffic light.
She was about to cross over sa pedestrian lane when I remembered what Hiraya told me.
I immediately honk my horn that made her throw all her stuff.
"Bro! What was that?" Vinny asked na nagulat din.
Kahit ako, hindi ko naman alam na magugulatin itong babaeng 'to eh.
Agad naman akong bumaba to help her and her growling face welcomed me.
"BALIW KA BA?!" She pushed me sa sobrang inis.
"Bigla bigla kang bumubusina dyan!"
"Ano bang trip mo ha?!"
She kept shouting which made me smile.
"Anong nakakatawa ha?"
"I'm sorry, I thought you were a traffic light." I said habang nagpipigil ng tawa.
"Pinagtatawanan mo pa ako?? Eh natapon lahat ng thesis papers ko!"
"Babayaran mo ba yan ha?!"
"Ha?!!!"
Medyo na-konsensya ako doon ah.
"Baliw ka! Bwes*t." She said then pushed me aside.
She continued picking up her papers and I immediately helped her.
"I'm sorry... I just wanted to meet you." I said.
Natigilan naman siya and then looked at me.
"I will pay for your reprinting and all... just please forgive me." I said smiling.
Huminga naman siya ng malalim. This one is really fiesty.
Sigurado ba si Hiraya dito?
"Come on, I will also treat you lunch?" She kept on looking until several honks from cars passing us distract us.
"Oh sige na nga." She said then kinuha ang bag niya.
Pinasakay ko naman siya sa may backseat katabi ni Vinny.
"Oh... may mga kasama ka pala." She said.
"Don't worry, they are harmless." I said then sumakay naman siya.
We were driving papuntang Burger King.
Since Vinny has been bugging me to buy him some burger.
"Oo nga pala, what's your name?" I asked.
"Althea." She answered.
"Kayo? Anong mga pangalan niyo?" She asked habang busy pa rin kaka-arrange ng mga documents niya.
"I'm Sandro, these are my brothers, Simon and Vinny." I answered.
"Oh, kapangalan niyo pa mga anak ni Senador Marcos ah." She mumbled.
"We are his sons." Vinny answered.
Then she gave us this horrified look.
