hapon na kaya napagpasiyahan namin nila ella at tita pilar na mamalengke, since this is my first time.
habang si tito pepe at si rod ay nag aayos ng pang boodle fight mamaya.
"iha sigurado ka okay ka lang" tanong ni tita pilar. i gave her a nood.
di ko naman binibitawan ang kamay ni ella simula pumasok kami sa palengke nila.
"ganito ba talaga dito? ang ingay ha" i complain before ella look at me.
"nako nay ganito talaga sa palengke" she said i just shooked my head.
"ella what is that"

"ay nako nay masarap po yan! halika" hinila naman ako ni ella papunta don
"dalawa nga po" senyas naman ni ella sa tindera.
"safe ba yan" tanong ko.
"sigurado ka nay di mo alam yan" tanong ni ella.
"let me guess? milkshake?" she laughed.
"nako naman nay ang sosyal mo naman talaga" napailing nalang ako ng inabot saamin ng ale yung dalawang halo-halo.
i was about to grab my wallet when i remember iniwan ko nga pala to sa kotse.
"wait ella stay here, i just gonna get my wallet"
"nako nay sama na po ako"
"no stay here. di pa bayad yang kakainin natin gusto mo bang makulong tayo" she giggle before she nood.
i ran towards in parking lot and get my wallet but when i was about to run back when i saw some familiar figure walking.
"hey!" i tried to call the woman but she didn't turn back to me.
"wait, woman!!" i tried to yelled but no effect hanggat sa nawala siya sa paningin ko.
i sighed.
"don't hope imee. she's not that." i sighed.
agad naman akong lumakad pabalik kung saan ko iniwan si ella pero bago pa man ako makarating ng makita kong wala nang ella na nakatayo don kaya agad naman akong tumakbo papalapit at tinanong yung tindera.
"miss, asan po yung batang iniwan ko dito" i asked.
"sumama mo po sa mama niya, tinawag niya pong mama eh" i frowned.
mama? eh ako ang kasama niya?!
"san sila pumunta" tanong ko agad niya namang tinuro ang palabas ng palengke kaya agad ko namang inabot ang bayad at agad tumakbo palabas.
but i can't see any ella! fuck! where are you ella.
i grab my phone and dial rod. more minutes when he answered the call
"rod!" i'm breathless calling him.
"are you okay? what happen" he asked.
"si ella! i can't find her rod" i'm panicking.
"what!! where are you" he asked.
"supermarket" i chortled and ended the call.
"iha! kanina pa kita hinahanap" halos malaglag naman ang puso ko ng biglang sumulpot si tita pilar sa gilid ko.
"tita..." she looked at my eyes.
"bakit? anong nangyari" tanong niya
"si ella po! hindi ko mahanap" nagulat naman siya sa sinabi ko kaya agad niya naman akong tinanong kung saan ko iniwan si ella at nagsimula kami magtanong.
fuck! i can't loose you ella. nasan ka na ba! i don't like this game.
i don't like playing games for now ella! i'm literally dying to find you now
i grab my phone again and dial ella's number but she's cannot be reached.
"fuck ella! where the hell are you" i hissed and dial's irene number.
"hello ate what's up?" she asked.
"irene...si ella" i sighed.
"what happened" nagaalalang tanong niya.
"i can't find her! nawala siya and i don't know where the hell she is!" i almost screamed.
"damn ate! what did you do!" she asked.
"i didn't do anything irene! ano ba"
"i can't believe you! alam kong may ginawakakaya siya umalis! what is it ate tell me" i frowned
"fuck you irene! i call you because i want to update you but where the hell your words came from to question me!" i yelled i heard her sighed.
"where are you" she asked.
"non of your business"
"imee--" i cut her by ended the call.
"imee!" i heard rod voice that's make me rolled my eyes to find him then i saw him running through my direction so i immediately hugged him once he reach me.
"what happened" a tears came down from my eyes.
"i don't know...i just...uhm we buy some halo-halo and then that's it. iniwan ko siya to get my purse but when i came back. i can't see her already" i almost whispered, i burried my face on his chest because i can't feel my properly breathing again.
"calm yourself imee. mahahanap natin siya" he start massaging my back.
"rod! i'm gonna kill the woman or man who get ella. i'll swear!" i said.
"tito tita, let's go to the police station" we about to walked papunta sa kotse ng maramdaman ko naman ang panghihina ko.
fuck! my asthma again! not now fool!
"rod...." i almost stumbled when my knees become jelly pero agad naman akong nahawakan ni rod.
"hey imee. baby calm down" rod trying to make me calm but i can't breathe properly.
"i....i-ican...t b..rea.th" and by that i felt his hand carry me but then i start feel my unconsciousness so i close my eyes.
