I couldn't help myself but smile while talking to her. She was like a nagging wife wanting her husband to come home before 10 in the evening. How I love the thought of her welcoming me home, wearing her nighties, running into my arms, kissing me until we both cant get enough of each other.
May nakita akong pamilyang dumaan sa harap ng 7/11 at nakaramdam ako ng inis sa sarili ko at naiisip ko pa ang mga ganung bagay kanina. Yung boses naman niya kasi eh. Kaya nga di ako sumasagot kanina kasi gusto ko lang siyang pakinggan and I couldnt help but imagine what would her voice sound like if she is wrapped in my arms.
Well, malabo naman mangyayari yun unless, sisirain ko ang pamilya niya di ba, which again, I wouldn't want to happen. I am a product of a broken love at ayoko nang maging dahilan pa para mas marami pang batang tulad ko ang lumaking may lungkot. I know my parents who adopted me have raised me well and have loved me, but there is still a part of me longing for my biological parents.
'Hayaan mo na William. You'd get over her soon. Pagdating niya mamaya, you will realize na there's nothing really special about her and she belongs to someone else.'
Yeah right, she belongs to somebody else. I got up and went to the cashier to order my fourth cup of coffee. How long have I been waiting? Lahat na yata ng flavor ng coffee dito natikman ko na. She said in less than 45 minutes she would be here at malapit lang ang bahay niya but it is almost an hour, pero wala pa rin siya. Sana ako na lang ang pumunta sa kanya. Honestly, medyo inaantok na rin ako. Sanay ako sa puyatan kapag nasa club ako, but if Im by myself, I tend to sleep.
Who Am I
That the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name...
Her phone rang which I answered right away. Hindi porket affected ako sa kanya, I wont let her feel that Im dead bored waiting for her.
"Hello? Where are you? You said 45 minutes."
Sagot ko sa kabilang linya. Syempre siya lang naman ang pwedeng tumawag. Unregistered yung number kaya siguro she used her landline again. I didnt bother checking her phone after kong macharge kasi invasion of privacy yun. Kahit na gustung gusto ko ng i-check ang photo gallery niya and mag bluetooth ng picture niya.
"Listen to me first please."
Narinig kong sabi niya sa kabilang linya. Ang unusual kasi kung kanina puno ng energy at pagtataray ang boses niya, ngayon, para siyang hinhingal at natatakot. What is happening to her?!
"Im here in a payphone near the waiting shed near Boulevard Condos. Please rescue me. I need help."
She started sobbing at mabilis akong napatakbo sa kotse ko. Di ko na nga nakuha pa yung coffee that I ordered. I need to be there kahit na anong mangyari.
"What happened? Tell me. Im in the car now."
"Nakatakas lang ako sa kanila. Tulungan mo ko. Parang awa mo na.Kailangan ko ng magtago. Basta, you'd see me somewhere near the waiting shed. Just say annyeonghaseyo."
"What? Wait! Miss. Mrs. Wait."
The line got cut and I didnt hear anything anymore. What did she say? Annyo---annyi..
What have I gotten myself into?

I Found Love at Thirty Two
ChickLitWARNING: Read at Your Own Risk I am 32, single, no boyfriend since birth. At my age, I also have thoughts of falling in love, (I did once but ended not so well) of being loved by someone I love, having a family to call my own. I guess though...
