Nagulat ako ng may narinig akong tunog at may paparating na helicopter. Seryoso pala itong si Kiefer. Sobrang yaman naman ng lalaking to. Bumaba ang isang matangkad at magandang babae. Ah baka ito si Bei. Nakita kong lumapit si Kiefer sa kanya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi. Baka nobya niya, hindi ko napigilang makaramdam ng konting kirot sa puso ko. Ano ka ba Alyssa? Ano bang akala mo may gusto sayo si Kiefer? Kinausap ka lang may gusto na agad.
Hi Bei, this is Alyssa, Alyssa this is Bea. Pagpapakilala sa amin ni Kiefer.
Good afternoon po Ma'am Bea. Bati ko sa kanya.
Oh my god Kief, you were right she's too cute. Don't call me Ma'am, I'm not your teacher. Call me Bei instead. Can I call you Ly? Alyssa is too long. Natatawang sabi nito
Okay po Bei. Sagot ko na lang.
Don't po me also Ly, I'm younger than you are. Sabi niya sa akin.
Mukha na po ba akong matanda? Pasensya na po taga probinsiya kasi. Nahihiya kong sagot sa kanya.
No you're pretty actually. I just know that you're a little older than me. Kiefer's age maybe, how old are you na ba? Tanong niya sa akin
25 po. Sagot ko, alam kong mukha na akong matanda para sa edad ko.
You look old nga sa age mo. Well, we can do something about it. Why don't you come with us sa Manila? Alok niya sa akin.
Naku, hindi po ako pwedeng umalis. sabi ko sa kanya, ang daldal niya grabe.
Don't worry I'll bring you back home before midnight Cinderella. nakangiting sabi niya sa akin.
Bei, did you bring what I asked you? Putol ni kiefer kay Bea.
Yes Boss, sagot ni Bea kay Kiefer
Can you come with Alyssa to pay her debt to Mr. de Jesus since he doesn't know you? Tell him you're related or something, just come up with any story that will pop into your head. Make sure she'll get the title back and meet me sa bayan. I'll ask around how to get there and you will have Alyssa to bring you there. I'll take a cab or whatever is available and you drive my car. Clear? Dirediretsong utos ni Kiefer kay Bea.
Copy boss, come Alyssa. Where's your house? I bought you some clothes. Change so we can go. sabi niya sa akin
Huh? Nalilito kong tanong. Bakit kailangan kong magbihis?
Bei, Alyssa, I'll go ahead, meet you in 30? Tanong niya kay Bea
Yeah. Bye. sagot naman ni Bea at hinila na ako papunta sa bahay ko.
30? As in 30 minutes? Baka kala ni Kiefer malapit lang yung bayan na sinasabi ko, eh sa Batangas City pa yon mahigit dalawang oras ang biyahe papunta dun mula dito.

I'm still here near Alyssa's place after almost 30 minutes of waiting for a ride. I saw my car passed already with Bea and Alyssa in tow. Is this place too far from the city? I didn't realize that earlier since I was enjoying the drive going here. It was calming and so serene but now I'm losing my patience waiting for a cab when I heard my phone ring.
Yes Bei? What? Why you didn't tell me earlier? Is Miguel still here? Ok. I told Bea and hanged up.
She told me that it will take almost 2 hours to go to the City by land so it's better if I take the chopper. I didn't know the bayan me and Alyssa we're talking about is Batangas City. I saw Miguel and asked him to take me to SM Batangas, he made some calls to get access to the mall's helipad and after 15 minutes, we're here. I asked Miguel to join me so we can have lunch together with Bei and Alyssa.
