CHAPTER FORTY-THREE
#LASS_take
“Shit” I muttered when I opened the hood of my car. Bumungad sa akin ang usok.
Ngayon pa talaga Lord na gabi na. What a jinx.
I have tried to call my friends, even Kuya Drew but my phone suddenly died. This is a total mess.
Napa sandal nalang ako sa hood ng car ko. We are now stuck in the middle of nowhere. Walang katao-tao dito at bilang lang ang mga poste ng ilaw. Galing kasi kami sa birthday party ng Classmate ni Andrei–pamangkin ko. He wants to go with Zia there but Kuya and ate Liana are not free today so Kuya asked me instead.
“Tita what's the prob po?” Napatingin ako kay Andrei nang lumabas siya sa kotse.
“Our car broke and my phone died, so go inside because it's dangerous” Lumapit ako sa kanya.
“I'll stay with you Tita, you said it's dangerous outside so I'm staying with you” napangiti ako sa sinabi niya.
“No Andrei go inside, Tita’s gonna be fine ok?” I caressed his hair.
“But Tita sino po ang hinihintay niyo?” He asked.
“Tulong” I replied.
“I'll help po”
“You want to help?” I asked him softly and he nodded.
“Go inside and take care of Zia, be a kuya ok?” I smiled at him.
“But Tita” he insisted.
This kid really mana kay Kuya talaga.
“Tita’s gonna be fine ok? I promised” I told him.
“Ok Tita” he smiled at pumasok na sa sasakyan.
Ilang minuto akong naghihintay sa labas pero wala pa ding dumadaan.
Sinilip ko yung mga bata sa loob at nakatulog na sila kaya kinumutan ko sila ng jacket na suot ko.
Sinubukan kong ayusin ang sasakyan ko gamit ang mga tools na dala ko at binuhusan ko na din ng mineral water pero hindi pa din. Hindi ko alam anong mali.
Napasabunot nalang ako sa buhok when it started raining. Ang malas ko naman ngayon.
But I need to finish this para mauwi na kami.
I ran my fingers to my hair habang kinakalikot ang hood. Ano bang mali dito? I don't know much about cars.
Ubos na ubos na ang pasensya ko dito kaya naibato ko kung saan ang tools na hawak ko.
Nagulat nalang ako nang may bumusina kaya napatingin ako sa daan. Thank God Meron na.
Huminto ito sa harapan ko at napawi ang ngiti ko when I saw who it was. Hindi pa ako handang makita siya dahil sa nangyari when me last met. I still can't process it. Totoo ba siya?
“What happened?” Bungad niya. May dala siyang payong.
Hindi agad ako nakasagot dahil sa gulat.
“Zouie” napabalik lang ako sa katinuan when he tapped me.
“Oh?”
“What happened?” He asked again.
“Nasiraan” I replied.
“You know what time it is? It's dangerous” He said worriedly.
