noChapter 3- New Encounters

"Are you sure you can find the route to school?!" sigaw ni kuya mula sa baba. Nagbibihis pa kasi ako and class ko pa is mamaya pang 10 and class nilang dalawa ni Raffa is 8:30. So fortunately di nila ako maisasabay. Haha!

"Yeah I can manage! Malapit lang naman yon kuya! Don't worry!" sigaw ko mula sa kwarto ko habang naghahanap ng masusuot.

"Okay! Just call me if you need my help! We'll go ahead!"

"Bye Gail!" then I heard their cars speeding up. Hahay! 8:30 pa lang.

Tapos na i-unpack nina manang yung lahat ng luggage ko. Bihis muna ako. I chose this white loose crop top and and blue skorts then paired it with my white vans shoes and spurs cap. Cool! Red lipstick and a little bit powder.

I'll just go in a coffee shop to get my breakfast there. Ayokong kumakain ng mag-isa sa bahay, buti sa mga coffee shop may kasama ka kahit di mo kilala. Besides I love the smell of coffee and freshly baked pastries in coffee shops.

Habang pababa ako nakita ko si nanay Lita. Siya ang katiwala namin dito sa mansion simula pagkabata. Para narin namin siyang nanay na tatlo.

"Nanay! I missed you!" then I hugged her. "Nakita mo na ba yung pasalobong ko sayo at kay Kate? Kumusta ka na nanay?"

"Hinay hinay lang bata ka." paghaplos niya sakin. "Namiss din kita ng sobra Abigail. Mabuti naman kami dito. Di kita nabati ng dumating ka dahil nasa Bagiuo ako at kahapon lang ako dumating kaso nakatulog ka na anak."

""Hay nanay Lita. Namiss talaga kita." hinug ko uli siya. Namiss ko talaga siya, sa kanya ako dati umiiyak kapag nasasaktan na ako kay Kai ng sobra. "Mamaya po kunin niyo po yung pasalubong niyo ni Kate sa kwarto ko. May nakalagay na note sa paper bags. Pakikumusta na din po ako kay Kate nanay."

Si Kate yung anak niyang kalaro naming tatlo simula nung maliit pa kami. Crush yon ni Rafa kaso di niya type si Rafa. Haha!

"Nag-abala ka pa. Sige kukunin ko mamaya, salamat anak." tapos bigla niya ako niyakap uli ng sobrang higpit.

"Haha! Namiss mo talaga ako nanay."

"Oo naman! Pero maiba, masaya ka na ba ngayon anak?" tanong niya habang nakatingin sa mga mata ko na may bahid ng pag-aalala.

"Okey na okey na nanay. Salamat." pagngiti ko sa kanya ng sobrang lapad.

"Mabuti naman. Pero alam na ba niyang nakabalik ka na?"

"Opo nanay. Nagkita kami kahapon."

"Anong naramdaman mo anak? Masakit pa ba diyan na makita siya? " turo niya sa puso ko.

"Hindi mo naman maaalis nanay ang konting kirot at lungkot dito." turo ko sa puso ko. "Dahil minahal ko siya. Pero darating din tayo sa wala ng masakit nanay." then I gaved her a sincere smile.

"Haynaku bata ka talaga. Masayang masaya ako para sayo, sana magtuloy tuloy na yan." paghaplos niya sa mukha ko.

"Naman nanay!" pag-hifive ko sa kanya. "Sige po at aalis na po ako."

"Sige mag-iingat ka anak." at lumabas na ako at sumakay sa kotse ko. It's real. The things I told nanay Lita, the wounds are starting to fade away slowly but surely.

Ng matapat ako sa isang green light biglang may bumusina sakin. Racing ba gusto mo? Di ako umaatras jan. *vroom vroom* He opened his black tinted window then winked at me. Haha! The fudge! He's the coffee shop victim. Well more to add the fun. I'll be happy to see his face kapag natalo siya.

*vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom* magaling siya kaso mas magaling at nauna ako. Walang tumatalo sa isang Ace Vergara kahit mga kapatid niya. I didn't win the street racing cups in California for nothing. Nung nasa Cali ako ee naging abala ako sa racing and school. Those were my life there.

Then my finish line is the La Crema coffee shop. Tambayan namin to ni Kai dati. Well am not like those girls who cry just because they remember something about their beloved ex. I'm cool with it, besides it's happy memories that I mostly remember about this place. And I think they have the best coffee in town here. I ordered Caramel Machiato and a cheese bread.

I sat on my favorite spot. I love the view in here, that's why. It's fresh and peaceful.

"Hi. My name is PJ Zamora, you're cool out there. What your name?" kung alam mo lang. So I decided to remove my cap and let him see my face.

"Hi little boy." I smirked when I saw the look on his face.

"Boook....worm???" he's confused and surprised. Haha! Ito talaga ang ini expect kung reaction. Priceless.

"Yup. The one and only." then I winked at him.

"Uh... never thought a bookworm could drive like that. Cool." then he sat on my table too.

"It's not an insult again right?" I smiled "And by the way little boy, this is my table. I hope you don't own this too." I smirked knowing mapapahiya siya.

"Well this is my table." a guy whom I know owns the voice.

"Kaizer." I greeted him.

"Hi." he told me but he's looking at the guy in front of me intensely.

"Raymundo nauna na kami sa table na to. So hanap ka nalang ng iba." pag-ngiti niya kay Kai.

"This is my table Zamora." he pointed at our table. What's with people nowadays? Claiming they own tables everywhere.

"It's okay PJ, besides my order is already done so let's just leave already." then I signaled him to just agree. I wish he's not that hard headed too.

"Okay. Here's your table Raymundo." then he left along with me.

"Thanks." I mouthed at him habang kinukuha ko ang order ko.

"No problem." then he winked at me.

"Sige una na ako." then I left the coffee shop without looking back and waiting for him.

"Hey your name!" he shouted ng papasok na ako ng kotse ko. I just smirked in response.
