The first few days ko dito sa Philippines went well naman. But ofcourse, I was so busy processing my papers for this business school I’ll be entering. Buti na nga at pinayagan pa akong mag-enrol kahit na medyo huli na ako sa lessons.
I just settled everything. Bukas, pwede na akong pumasok. But for now, I have to meet Iza. Ilang araw na rin niya akong kinukulit. May gusto kasi siyang ikwento. But I had no time for her the past days kasi I was busy reviewing for the entrance exam.
“Ang gwapo talaga niya noh?” sabi nung babaeng dumaan sa kasama niya.
I rolled my eyes and mumbled to myself. “The last time I said the same statement, yung first kong makita si Jeron.”
I sighed. Ba’t ko na naman siya naiisip? Erase, erase!
Nagmadali na akong maglakad papasok ng elevator. Naalala ko, Iza’s waiting for me. May ipapakilala din siya. I wonder kung sino yun.
Actually, four floors lang naman yung building, nakaka-tamad lang talaga mag-hagdan. Walang ibang laman yung elevator, ako lang. The elevator was about to close when someone slipped himself in.
“Whew!” he mumbled as he got in.
I turned my attention to him. He looks so familiar. Parang nakita ko na siya.
Dahan dahan siyang tumingin sa akin. He grinned. “It’s you!”
My eyes widened. That mahangin dude from the bar!! Yung Gab!
“Ikaw na naman?” I shrieked.
“What?” He asked then chuckled. “Sinusundan mo ako no?”
“Ugh! Excuse me?! Baka ako ang sinusundan mo?!” I retorted.
“Wait wait wait, ikaw sinusundan ko?” he snorted. “Of course not! For your information, dito ako nag-aaral.”
“What?!” I exclaimed, when suddenly the lights flickered and the elevator stopped.
“Shit!” he cursed.
“Oh my gosh! Don’t tell me we’re stuck?” I mumbled.
He tried to open the door, but there was no use. Kinuha ko agad yung phone ko hoping may signal, kaso wala.
“Shit! Paano yan?!” I asked as I looked at him.
He looked back at me. “We just have to wait.”
“What? Wait? Hell no! I can’t wait!” inis kong sabi sabay katok sa pinto. “Hey! Tulong! May na-stuck ditto sa loob!”
“Are you serious? Kakatukin mo talaga yan?” he asked. He’s too calm in a situation like this. Ugh! Nakakainis.
