Chapter 2: The Man in Red Suit.

JIRO'S POV

June 12, 2015
10:32 AM

Napabalikwas ako ng bangon.

I'm sweating like hell, my tears won't stop from falling and I'm catching my breath to death.

What the hell just happen?

Another nightmare?

Pero bakit wala ako masyadong maalala sa nangyare?

Pero, parang ...
Everything happen in that dream was...

REAL?

*Vrrrrrrt*
Agad akong napatingin sa phone ko.

[12 new message, 3 missed calls]
Isa - isa kong binasa ang mga message.

But there's only one message that caught my attention.

A message from Risa.

[Good Morning Sir Jiro! Kamusta tulog mo? Humihilik kana naman habang tumutulo laway mo noh? Hahaha Just kidding! Ano nga pala yung gusto mong sabihin kahapon?]
Send 08:25 am

A smile flashes unto my face.

Just reading her 'Good morning' messages completes my morning.

[We have an appointment with a special client tomorrow. We'll gonna meet him at the usual coffee shop. 7 pm SHARP. Don't be late, or else.] I replied.

I look outside the window.

Tirik na tirik yung araw.
Ang sakit sa mata.

Nakakasilaw.

It looks like a nice weather I guess.

I stood up and ready my things.

"Must go to work!"

***

I finished my paper works as fast as I could.

Kailangan ko pa palang tawagan ang jewelry shop para i-confirm yun.

Lumabas ako ng office at pumunta sa pinakamalapit secluded na iskinita.

"Um hello? I'd like you to prepare the thing that I ordered from you. Yes, please lang po, wag na po kayo magsabi ng kung anu-ano sa kukuha nyan bukas. May pagkamadaldal po kasi yung kukuha nyan. Basta ibigay nyo nalang po, okay? Okay. Thanks!" Then I ended the call.

I'm excited but at same time nervous!

O baka, natatae lang talaga ako?
Urgh. Nevermind that.

Maglalakad na sana ako pabalik sa loob ng may mapansin akong tao na nakatayo sa dulo ng eskinita.

What the? Kanina pa kaya sya doon?

Wait, he looked familiar?
Saan ko ba sya nakita dati?

"Umㅡ" Hindi na ko nakpagsalita nang biglang lumakad sya papalapit sa akin.

Sa gulat ko, nanigas lang ako sa kinatatayuan ko.

When he's already in front of me, he suddenly stop and look at me.

He smile at me and whisper something...

"You must be too tired, for you to forget..." He whisper but enough for me to hear.

My eyes widened as my body still froze from his familiar voice.

I suddenly felt chills all over my body as if ...

May masamang mangyayare?

"Basta tandaan mo, lahat ng mangyayare ay TOTOO. At nandito ako para patunayan 'yon" Pagpapatuloy nya.

Muli kong tinignan yung taong kaharap ko.

Biglang may isang ala-alang nanumbalik sa akin mula sa mga masamang panaginip ko.

Bakit ba hindi ko sya nakilala agad?

He's the Man in Red Suit.
