ENDLESS JOURNEY OF LOVE

CHAPTER 8

Lezlhiana's

"Ako nalang magaasikaso ng flight ticket mo. Saan ba?"

"Are you sure? To New York." I asked dahil hassle na ako. Kailangan ko ng magmadali. For the first time, minessage ako ng kidnapper. I only have fucking 4 hours left and isasauli na lang daw niya si Timothy kapag nasa airport na daw ako. Goddamn.

Bumaba nako ng kotse at saka naglakad papasok sa loob nang nakapaa. Mygosh. This is so not Lez's habit. Mabilis akong nakarating sa room ko.

Naglabas agad ako ng dalawang malaking maleta at isang medium-sized para kay Timothy. Tumunog bigla yung phone and.. Ano ba yan? Ano nanaman ba?

"Hello? Busy ako!" I said as I was throwing some clothes to the luggage.

"Nakabili nako."

"That fast?" gulat na gulat kong sabi.

"Yes and you're flight is later at 7 pm."

"That's a very good news. Now, where's the ticket?"

"Kukunin ko pa lang."

"Okay. By the way, pag binigay mo sakin, umalis ka na sa harapan ko. Wag na daw kasi akong magpasama."

"I understand. Buhay ng anak mo ang nakataya mo dito. Im serious."

"Hindi ko siya anak!" I yelled at the phone at saka ko binaba yung tawag. Okay na yung concern words niya kaso mygod.

As we arrive at the airport, mabilis akong bumaba. Nilabas ko na ang tatlong maleta namin. Eljon handed over to me the ticket. I'm sure he already understand na hindi niya ako pwedeng samahan. The kidnapper might do something to Timothy.

He was about to get inside nang hawakan ko yung kamay niya. "Thank you." I said at saka hinila yung isang maleta with the help of an employee there.

As they are done inspecting me and checking the bag, pumasok nako sa loob at nagantay sa may waiting area. I took out my phone just in case na, imessage ako ng kidnapper.

Who is that person anyway? Of all na hihingiin niya sakin, why force me to leave this country? I mean, whoa. I'm guessing that I might track down the identity of that kidnapper.

Speaking of kidnapper, bakit ang tagal niya? I'm already here and I only have 1 hour before my flight. Aaminin ko. Nagaalala nako kay Timothy. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag may ginawa sila sa kanya. Wait. Why am I even asking that? Did I even forgot who I was 9 years ago? I'm Lezlhiana Montes. A leader of the most terrifying mean group 9 years ago.

Ugh. This is useless! How can I show my hidden personality kung hindi ko nalalaman kung sino ang kidnapper? I'm getting irritated right now!

I was about to leave my seat when I saw someone. I took a closer look kung sino yun. Wait. Is that Ian? Anong ginagawa niya dito? I planned to approach him and apologize about last time pero may kasama siya. It was Albea. I watched them as they were happily talking to each other. A moment later, tumayo na silang dalawa at may dala si Ian na maleta. Aalis sila? Wait. Erase that. Si Ian lang pala ang aalis.

Suddenly, I saw what's worst. As they were saying goodbye to each other, Albea gave him a kiss from a cheek. Doom's day. He was only making a fool of me.

"Ms. Montes."

Napalingon ako sa tumawag na yun. It was Almira at kasama niya si Little Bangs and... Timothy! Agad akong lumapit sa kanya at niyakap siya.

"Are you okay? Omg." I said as I was checking on him. "Almira, how did you found him?"

"Nakita ko siya sa labas. Ms. Montes, bakit kayo nandito?"
