Rich people are the funniest. They'd be willing to lose millions for mere nothing. The best example? This man behind me.
"Miss nurse, slow down a bit!" he yelled from his cabriolet.
I could've been a millionaire in a minute but I rejected his offer. He was asking me to go out for a coffee tomorrow. Kailangan niya pa ba ng moral support sa paglagok ng kape? Kailangan niya ng audience bago kumagat ng tinapay?
Kinuha ko sa pinag-iiwanang tricycle driver ang skateboard ko. Wala sa situation niya kanina na hindi ako magta-taxi, sana naalala ko para nawala ang anagas niya.
"Miss Nurse, you should at least timbang for me!"
Let me guess what he meant. Weight for me? Corny.
If he's a stroke of good luck, he wouldn't even have to run after me. I'll run after him. I rolled my eyes and doubled my speed.
"Maurice-san!"
Now that it's a little late, there are only a few cars with us on the highway. I know I am moving too fast. All because I don't want Yuri to know where I live. If he finds out my place, he'll know where to bug me.
"Miss Nurse!"
Nagpatuloy lang ako sa pag-usad at pagsasawalang-bahala ng pagsuway ng lalaki. Maya-maya pa ay wala na akong naririnig na sigaw. Wala na ring nag-iilaw sa daan. Feeling a little worried, I looked behind. His open roof allowed me to know that he's talking with someone on the phone. Nonetheless, he's still following me. Bahagya lang nahuli dahil may katawagan.
I took the opportunity to get away from him. I thought I already escaped him pero . . . May checkpoint. I slowed down a bit when I saw the police. Their eyes gave me a tough surveillance.
"Miss," tawag sa akin ng papalapit na lalaki.
I'm afraid I know him. But I'm more afraid of what's gonna happen.
"Can you stop for a minute? We have something to ask," said, the officer.
It's not cool to admit I'm nervous. Let's say, I'm thrilled. I stepped my foot out of the board to stop. Running away will make me look like a criminal.
"Anong problema?" Dinaan ko sa tono ng boses ang tapang para itago ang kaba.
"You were going too fast. Given that you're riding a skateboard, you should be more careful." Inayos ng lalaki ang salamin na suot. "I'm Officer Treggor Hudson." He looked at me before uttering his surname. "Suarez."
Sabi na nga ba.
"We received a call from a concerned citizen that someone is overspeeding."
Napabuntong-hininga ako. "Do I know this CONCERN CITIZEN?"
His tongue clicked. "I'm not sure. But he said you stole something from him. We're sorry to inform you that we cannot let you go yet until he's here."
"I'm sorry?!" I exclaimed. "How can you stop me here without having evidence?"
The officer wet his lips with his tongue. He's Yuri's cousin for Pete's sake. I know what he's doing.
"That's the case. Whether it's for the complaint or not, we still can't let you go because you exceeded the speed limit. As for the evidence, we have to wait for Yuri—I mean the compliant."
I sneered. I wanted to dash and leave them but it might put me in trouble more.
"Oh, he's here." The officer looked behind me.
Masama ang hitsura ay lumingon ako sa likuran. Yuri isn't even rushing. He probably knew we'd meet here. He opened his window and the first thing I saw was his annoying face.
