"Hoy! Kidnapper!" Sigaw ng isang babae. She looks like she's in her mids 20.
"Excuse me?" Tanong ko. Me? A kidnapper?
The hell!
"Miss Natasha! Bakit mo po kasama yang kidnapper na yan?!"
"Yaya! She's not a kidnapper. She's kind"
Nabulunan ako. Kind? That's a first.
"Yaya, nahanap niyo na po ba si Natasha?" Tanong ng isang unfamiliar voice ng lalaki.
"Opo, Sir Andrew. Kasama niya po tong kidnapper na 'to."
"Excuse me lang huh?!" Tanong ko. Aba! Ako?! Kidnapper?!
I gave a sign to the body guards to show them my I.D. Gosh.
Just imagine how embarrassed she was. The mall she's at is my family's. The clothes she's wearing is probably from my wealth. And what? A kidnapper?!
"Sorry po. Akala ko lang po talaga, kidnapper kayo. Sorry po."
I didn't respond.
"Sorry po sa inasal ni Yaya Ising. Sorry po talaga." Panghihingi ng pasensya ni cute little girl.
I smiled at her. She's the first ever na batang I treated like this.
"Tara na po, Yaya." Pag aaya nung lalaking unfamiliar.
"Mister unknown, won't you say sorry?"
"Should I? Kasalanan yun ni Yaya. She said sorry. Isn't that enough?" Inosenteng tanong niya.
I get his point pero bwisit siya kung magpahiya!
Umalis na sila. I was left here. Gosh.
"Who the hell was that?"
"Research about that guy." I commanded.
***The next day***
Habang kumakain, alone,
"Excuse me, Miss Tasha, it's about the guy from yesterday."
Alright. He got my attention.
"Go" I said as a sign.
"He's the son of your Dad's business partner."
"Wait, what?!"
"Yes, Miss Tasha." He said. "His name is Andrew Yexel Montefalco."
Nagulat ako. So he's Andrew. The 'crush' of my best friend.
"His parents are Mr. Alexander Yeshua Montefalco and Mrs. Allyza Reixel Zamora- Montefalco."
"I see how it became 'Yexel'."
"Yes, Miss Tasha. Yeshua and Reixel combined."
He went out immediately after that.
Andrew Yexel Montefalco, huh? This , Tasha Andrea De Guzman won't lose to you.
Watch and learn.
