The Au-Boy. [JaDine]

Wakas

Thank you so much everyone. Sa labis na suportang binigay n'yo rito. Hindi ko man maipakitang maigi, I'm really greatful. I wanted to make this long, alam n'yo na, napamahal ako kay Jaime at Nadila pero hindi ako gano'n kagaling para umisip ng mas hahaba pa sa narating ko ngayon. Ayokong tamarin na kayo sa kanya, I usually feel that while writing a piece. I just wish I made it worth-reading for. Sana na-satisfy ko kayo sa story na nagawa ko.

Sana'y nag-enjoy kayo sa story na 'to. Until the next stories, readers. Thank you so much again, and I love you all! :* <3

Wakas [Jaime]

"What do want to do now, Jaime?" my Uncle Jean asked me. He's my father's older brother. Wala itong pamilyang binubuhay at mag-isa lang.

"Please provide me a ticket to the Philippines. Mom won't think I'll be hiding in her home. She surely won't think of me going there. She told me how hard life is there."

Tumango si Uncle Jean sa 'kin. "I'll arrange it as soon as possible." bumuntong hininga ito. "Can you really be on your own? Where will you start? You don't know where your grandparents are."

"I don't need to find them. I'll just start from scratch and to something for a living." I smiled at him widely. "I can take care of myself, uncle, no need to worry."

"What if they search for you here after your flight?"

"Please don't tell anyone about my whereabouts. I want it hidden from all, except for you, of course." seryoso kong usal. Tumango ang tito ko at inasikaso ang pabor na hiningi ko.

I just want to get away from here. Ayoko na sa lugar na puro masasakit na alaala ang binibigay sa 'kin. Ayoko nang umuwi sa bahay, naaalala ko lang ang lahat, e.

MY uncle made everything possible. Kung hindi dahil sa kanya, wala ako sa Pilipinas ngayon. Wala ako sa San Diena at hindi ko siguro nakilala si Nadila. Natutuwa akong kahit papaano'y may naging maganda sa buhay ko.

I was fresh graduate from college. Business Management. I didn't got the chance to even apply for the job I really wanted. Noong pagka-graduate ko'y nagtrabaho na ako sa fast food chain. Mahirap kasing maghanap ng trabaho, I need to save money.

After a year of work there, napaaral ko ang kapatid ko sa college. My mother is a housewife and my father, well, wala siyang permanenteng trabaho. At the age of twenty, ako pa ang nagbibigay ng pera para may makain kami. I was the breadwinner.

Hindi ko naman sinasabing hindi ako masaya doon, pero nanghinayang ako. I should be in a company now, working, earning higher money than just working at a fast food chain. Pwede rin, making my own name. Magtayo ng sarili kong kompanya pero wala e.

Nang makababa ang eroplano ko sa NAIA Manila. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. I have cash, pero hindi naman pwedeng tumuloy ako sa hotel. Mauubusan agad ako ng pera.

Sumakay ako ng bus, without even knowing where that bus would take me. Hindi naman kasi ako nagbasa ng directions, 'cause clearly, hindi ko rin naman alam ang pupuntahan ko. Saan ba ako pupunta? Wala akong kilala rito.

I sat comfortably. Inantay ko lang na huminto ang bus at kung saan man ako tumigil, doon ako magsisimula.

The bus stopped at San Diena. A very unfamiliar place for me. A place unknown to someone like me.
