Habang naglalakad lakad malapit sa Eiffel Tower, nakakita sila ng isang bench na pwedeng maupuan. Nauna si Aia at sumunod si Chad sakanya.
Umupo sila dito.
"So, bakit mo nga pala ako pinapunta dito? Is it about the story?" Aia.
"Actually, i'm still working on that, although i had a hard time recalling my past" Chad smirked.
"Past you say?" Aia. "You don't need to... you know what? The present is what matters right now. Everything that happened before is called past." Aia "You cant have your past and future without present, you know what i mean?" Aia.
"Yeah, i get that a lot, thank you.." Chad "For everything." Dugtong niya.
"Don't mention it" Aia. "Friends are supposed to help friends. And you Chad Orgear, are my friend"
Niyakap ni Chad si Aia. Then whispered something. "I-----"
Naputol ang sasabihin ni Chad ng may lumapit sa kanilang bata. Parang nawawala ito. Kumawala si Aia sa yakap ni Chad at tiningnan ang batang lumapit.
"What's wrong baby boy? Are you lost?" Tanong ni Aia.
Hindi kumibo ang bata ilang segundo lang umiyak na ito.
"I think he really is Lost, there's no one here" tiningnan ni Chad ang buong paligid at wala na siyang nakitang mga tao.
"Should we report it to the police?" Aia.
"Great idea. Let's go" Chad.
Chad carried the Child at sumunod nalang si Aia sakanya.
*TAXI*
Nakatulog na ang bata, siguro pagod na pagod ito sa kakalaro. Nakita ni Chad sa bag ng bata na may embed na pangalan "CRIS".
"Look! Maybe his name is Cris" Chad.
"How did you know?" Aia.
"It's in his bag" turo ni Chad.
"Let me see?" Tiningnan ni Aia at pinakita naman ni Chad.
*POLICE STATION*
Nireport nina Chad at Aia ang nawawalang bata. Ilang minuto lang may tumawag sa kabilang linya na babaeng nag-rereport ng missing.
"What is the Childs name?" Tanong ng Police sa Kabilang linya.
"Cris is his name. He is wearing Checkered blouse and has a bag." Paliwanag ng kabilang linya.
"Actually madam, someone had reported us something including a child. And it fits exactly to your description. You may come at the Police station to confirm it". Sabi ng Police officer.
"Oh my Gosh! Thank God he's safe, thank you officer" mangiyak ngiyak na sabi ng babae sa police at saka na ibinaba ang telepono.
"Please wait a few minutes" sabi ng police officer samin.
30 minutes has passed at dumating na ang babaeng tumawag. Tumingin siya sa paligid at nakita ang bata na karga karga ni Chad. Tumakbo siya papunta dito.
"Crisssss!! My son!!!" Sigaw niya at kinuha ang bata kay Chad. Hinalikan niya ang anak niya sa kanyang noo at panay ang iyak.
"Thank you very much! If it were'nt for you my son would be lost. Thank you!" Sabi niya kina Aia at Chad.
Parang familiar sakin ang mukha nitong babaeng to ah? Parang kasing edad ko palang siya pero may anak na. Sa isip ni Aia. Siya kaya si? Ang matagal ko ng hindi nakikitang bestfriend?
TBC.
