Babysitter ✔

Chapter 26

It's already past three in the midnight and I'm still up, stalking someone like a creep. Yes, I know people would say that but this is my expertise so might as well use it to my advantage diba?

I just can't go to sleep without answering questions inside my head. Sobra sobra na kasi ang katanungan sa maliit kong brain at ayokong tumengga lang 'cause I know I'm close to getting the answers but it will require a lot of hardwork so I need to push a little bit more.

I need to make space inside my head to be able to accomodate more problems and questions in the future, if that make sense. Mahirap na at baka ma-judge na naman tayo ng isang lalaking nakatira din dito.

I enter his name on the search bar. When his name popped out, I instantly click it and did a little scroll down. And the first thing I noticed was his status.

He's in a relationship...but with whom?!

Don't tell me...

My palms are getting sweaty by the minute but I still continue to scroll down to look for some pictures or status posted on his wall pero wala, puro shared posts lang about random things.

I cracked my knuckles to relieve my stress but it wasn't enough. Parang gusto kong may lamukatin o ano sa sobrang anticipation na nararamdaman ko. I'm expecting na it would be easy to track him but I was wrong. I forgot how private they are in their lives and it shows na he doesn't really post that much.

Okay, maybe not in Facebook. Instagram might be the one.

Napansin kong andami kong notification pag log in ko sa account ko na hindi ko nabuksan ng ilang buwan. Pero hindi yon ang pinunta ko. I instantly type his name on the search bar once again in hopes that his account would pop out but to no avail.

Aware naman akong private silang tao but I'm taking every chances.

See? You can really tell that this is my field. I remember I was once paid by someone to stalk a cheating boyfriend and what do you expect? Of course I did a great job.

Inisa isa ko na ang kapangalan niyang lumalabas pero wala parin talaga so I decided that it's time for me to stalk the girl.

This girl maybe a lowkey-type one but I know her strengths and weaknesses.

Masyado ko siyang kilala na unti unti ng nabubuo ang mga pira-piraso na panghihinala ko pero kailangan ko paring maging sigurado. Mahirap ng mapahiya ulit dahil lang sa jumping into conclusion ang nilalaro ko.

I scroll down to the bottom of her account and as usual, she doesn't post that much as well 'cause she's trying to be lowkey as much as possible but one picture to the right caught my attention.

I have to read her caption repeatedly to let it sink.

Paano nila nagawa to sakin?!

Hindi ko na napigilang tawagan ang numero kanina. Habang nag hihintay na may sumagot, galit na nakatitig ako sa kumot na wala namang ka-alam alam sa mga ginagawa ko.

"Hello?" medyo paos pa ang boses niya at naalala kong madaling araw na nga pala ngayon pero isinantabi ko yon.

Selfish na kung selfish pero may dapat akong malaman!

"Magkita tayo mamaya!"

Pinatay ko na ang tawag at agad tinext ang address kung saan kami magkikita tsaka ako tumakbo papuntang banyo para mag bihis.

Mag a-alas siyete palang at wala na agad ako sa mood.

Isang maliit na cafe ang pinili ko malapit lang din dito sa village nila Eusef. Hindi ko nabanggit kahit kanino na aalis ako kaya kailangan makabalik din ako kaagad.
