Give Me Love

Chapter two: Highway to Hell

Umayos agad ako ng upo, pag-angat ko ng ulo ko.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" It's the thief. Sino pa nga ba? pasulpot-sulpot kasi.

He shrugged and chuckled, "What do you think? I'm following you?" He smirked, it's an evil smirk!

I raised my brow, "ofcourse not!" then rolled my eyes. He's not worth my time and attention! Irritating yet annoying? not a clever combination!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" he sat next to me, he held his hands up.

"Uhm...I think I need a ride. And there's no other seat in here." He said in a Duh tone,

"so if you don't mind, please remove your bags away from my seat cause It's kinda... Uhm... tight in here." Nakakatawa na sana yung pag-galaw nya ng bewang nya para lang maka-upo eh--kung hindi lang sya panira ng araw!

"Ugh! I should've just bought two tickets!" I murmured while I removed bags away from this thief,

"I'm sorry... what did you say?" He asked. I narrowed my eyes at him, I gave him a fake short laugh,

"oh? Nothing! I said, I should have just bought two tickets so I won't be having a Ride to Hell for the next hours." I gave him another fake smile then rolled my eyes again.

He chuckled, "Oh sweetie! If you bought two tickets, then you won't be having a celebrity next to you for your next heavenly hours."

I snapped my head to his direction, "Tch! And who are you?" I narrowed my eyes, "Oh! You're from the movie, 'Land of the Apes'! It's really a pleasure for me to be sitting here next to you-- Ape." Inirapan ko ulit sya. Kapal ng mukha no? Celebrity pa nais nya?

He laughed, "WHAT?!" I yelled at him, people turned their heads to me.

"Jeez! Do you really have to shout every word you say? It's like you swallowed a megaphone!" Girls at the back giggled. Langya! type ba nila to? kung pwede lang kunin na nila! Eto namang lalake panay pa-cute dun sa mga babae. BOYS...

"Then don't talk to me! tch." Nilagay ko na ulit yung headphone ko, and played "Locked out of heaven" of Bruno Mars. Madami na palang nagbago sa Manila, mas dumami yung buildings pati mga malls pati sa Manila Bay, nagbago na nga talaga yung sea wall. Naalala ko kasi yung news na nagkabagyo dito tas nasira yung sea wall kaya grabe yung baha.

May nangongolekta na ng ticket kaya hinanap ko na sa bag ko yung akin, ayun! "Couple huh?" tinanong nung babaeng nangunguwa ng ticket, "Your headphones are same same!"

Nagkatinginan kami nung thief, nakangiti lang sya. "WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT?" I yelled, "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME?" I widened my eyes at him pero huminga ako ng malalim at baka sakaling mapigilan ko pang ibato sya palabas dito.

Inabot ko dun sa babae yung ticket ko, Halatang naguguluhan sya sa inasta ko, "Hindi ate. Hindi ko kilala tong mokong na to!" Nagulat sya sakin,

"You are a filipino?" wow! englisyera. Tumango lang ako. Tumawa sya, "Sus! nasa pilipinas kana ma'am. Tama na english!" Tumawa sya at sabay umalis, wait-- kinindatan nya ba eto? etong katabi kong to?! Ugh! Bakit ba sila gwapong gwapo dito?! kairita-_-

Tinanggal ko na yung headphones ko, "Why are you still wearing that?" I asked him,

He smirked...Again! "Because," He leaned closer "I don't want to use my new headphones just for you."

"k." I looked away. I can't take his arrogant look and gestures. It makes me want to puke. After a minute he fell asleep.

"Manang gene! kumusta na po kayo?" siya ang head ng mga kasambahay namin dito. I hugged her, "Namiss ko po kayo ah!"

She pulled back, "Namiss ka din namiiin!" kinurot nya ako sa pisngi, "Ayos naman kami dito iha. Tara na , kumain ka muna at mukhang pagod na pagod kana." Hinila nya ako papunta sa kainan,
