OPERATION WOO

Chapter One

When she heard a footsteps coming, she cursed under her breath.

She doesn't know what to do.

She bit her finger because of panic, until her eyes spotted the male comfort room beside her.

'Bahala na,' takbo ng isip niya.

She hurriedly went inside and locked it. Napasandal siya sa pituan.

For her surprise, a man come out from a cubicle.

"What the hell?" Adam said, flustered.

Abby put her finger on her lips, signalling him to keep quiet.

Napasalubong ang kilay nito. "What?"

She sighed.

"Hey, this is a male—"

"Shhhh," Nilapitan niya ito at masamang tiningnan. "Shut up, will you?" she said in whisper.

"What are you doing here?" he lowered his voice.

She checked him from head to toe. "I'm hiding."

"Inside of men's comfort room?" hindi makapaniwalang saad ng binata.

Nagkibit balikat siya.

He checked each cubicle just in case. "You should be thankful I'm the only person here,"

"Want me to kiss you for a thank you?" pagbibiro ng dalaga.

Umiba ang timpla ng mukha nito. "You can thank me by getting out,"

She rolled her eyes.

A minute passed, and she heard a voice outside.

"Check inside the female comfort room," narinig niyang sabi sa labas.

Nagkatinginan sila ng binata.

"Just what in the world did you do?" Adam asked, curious why the woman in front of him is hiding.

Bumuntong hininga si Abby, hindi rin alam kung bakit. "Ask me what I don't know."

"So they were chasing you for nothing?" he said in sarcastic tone.

She ignored him and secretly listened to the men outside.

"She's not inside."

"You, check that way."

"Look insider the male comfort room as well,"

Napaatras siya nang marinig ang mga sunod-sunod na yapak patungo sa kinaroroonan nila.

She turned to the man surprised, when he suddenly unlocked the door and stepped out.

Mabilis siyang nagtago sa likod ng pintuan, takot na makita ng mga naghahanap sa kaniya.

"Is there something wrong?" Adam asked, checking them.

Sandaling kumunot ang noo nito dahil sa mga naghahanap sa dalaga. They were men in black.

"We were looking for a woman, Sir."

"Woman?" He said, acting like he doesn't know anything. "Inside the male comfort room?"

"Well. . . we were wondering if there's a woman hiding—"

"There's no one inside, except me. Maybe she went that way?" He said, pointing to the other corner she could possibly runaway.

Nagkatinginan ang mga ito.

Adam watched them leaving, taking the path he pointed. He knocked outside the door, "You can get out now, they left already."

Sumilip muna ang dalaga mula sa loob. After seeing he's telling the truth, she stepped outside.

"They look like eager to catch you," Adam informed.

"Of course they are," she mumbled.

"What?" Adam turned to her, didn't heard what she said.

Umiling siya. "Sabi ko I love you,"

Napailing ang binata, "How will you get out?"

She shrugged.

"Don't tell me you're planning of hiding inside the comfort room forever?" Sabay taas nito ng kilay sa dalaga.

She paused by the thought, "Should I?"

Adam sighed and take off his leather jacket, throwing it on her. "Wear that."

Sinamaan niya ito ng tingin. "You could've just handed it nicely, you know?"

"You can just thank me instead of complaining, you know." Inilahad nito ang sombrero sa dalaga.

Abby stared at it. "A cap? What's for?" nagtatakang sabi niya.

"Kakainin mo?" pilosopong sagot nito.

She frowned.

He laughed at her reaction. "You don't want them to recognize you, right? Wear it,"

Hindi niya kinuha ito kaya ang  binata na mismo ang nagsuot sa kaniya nito. "Hide well, hmm?"

She put on the leather jacket, "Thanks, babe."

Hindi siya pinansin nito. "Go that way if you don't want to be caught," He pointed the opposite corner from what he told the men chasing her earlier. "It's the backdoor," he added.

"But there's a security, right?"

"Don't worry, they will let you out," he assured her.

"Are you sure?" she said, doubting his words.

He chuckled. "Do I look like a fraud?"

Napatitig siya mukha nito, "Ouch!" She touched her forehead when he hit her. "What the fuck?"

Hinawakan siya nito sa balikat at mahinang itinulak. "Just go before they decided to come back,"

She pout, "How am I going to return this?" tukoy niya sa sombrero at leather jacket.

He shook his head, "Keep it."

"So it's mine now?"

Natawa ang binata. "If you want."

Napasimangot siya. "You don't want to see me, that bad?"

Adam remained silent.

"So there's no reason for us to meet again?" patuloy pa ng dalaga.

"Probably," he responded.

She stepped forward and tiptoed.

Mabilis niyang ninakawan ng halik ang binata sa labi.

Adam was caught off guard.

He wasn't able to react right way.

"Since I stole a kiss," She started walking backward, "I promise I'll give it back."

Adam quickly wiped his lips after coming back to his senses. "What the. . ." he muttered in disbelief.

"So there's a reason for us to meet again now, right?" She smiled at him, "I'll make sure to give it back," Kinindatan niya pa ang binata bag-o umalis.
