The Rule Number 22

CHAPTER 39:

I'm still trying to call Phil. Pero dahil siguro sa pangungulit ko pinatay na nya yung cell phone nya. Cannot be reached na sya eh. Si kuya naman hindi sumasagot, what a useless brother I have.

"Phil naman answer it" sabi ko while walking

Nung narating ko yung dulo ng Building B. Sa may palabas na ng parking lot yun eh, mag si-CR muna sana ako nung paliko na ko. Someone caught my attention.

"Megan?" sabi ko sarili ko. She was wearing a long sleeve blue top and jeans at chuck taylor. She has a shoulder bag at deretso ang tingin nya. Pumunta ako sa tabi ng entrance ng Comfort Room just to check first kung sya nga ba yun. Tumigil sya saglit and check her phone. It's really her. Nung lalapitan ko na sya.

"Hello? Oh nasan ka na?

Sino kayang kakatagpuin ni Megan? Hindi kaya si Isaiah? Pero I think hindi naman sya. Iba yung tono nya kanina at parang emergency so hindi sya. Ah teka lang.............TAMA! Why did I think of that! I guess she was going to talk to Ichi now. Since I saw him a while ago. Baka naman nag usap sila na magkita at mag usap na. Nako naman sana ganun nga para tantanan nako nung kumag nayon. Para naman manahimik narin ang buhay ko. Pero just to make sure, I follow her all the way through. I tried to make a distance so she will not noticed na may sumusunod sa kanya. At kakasunod sa kanya, we end up on Cinema Complex. Cinema? What is she doing here? Naks manonood na sila ng movie, ang bilis naman ni Kapre. Good job. Ok double check ko muna, sinubukan ko na sumilip sa may pila. Then I realized, nasa pila nako.

"Miss may pila po" usisa sakin nung lalaking nakapila

"Shhhhh" I whisper at yumuko agad pagkakita kay Megan na lumingon pabalik. She was walking through here. Gaaaaah anong gagawin ko????

I run outside and went to a shop na kalapit lag ng Cinema Complex. I hide myself into a teddy bear. Yup, nasa Blue Magic ako ngayon.

(A/N: Malayo po ang Blue Magic sa Cinema Complex sa Mega)

"Hello Mam, do you want----"

"Shhhh" I whisper to the one who's talking to me. He smile at me but I know he was suspecting me now. Like I am a theif or stalker? Oh my! Am I stalking Megan? No I'm not! It's just I am following her, just curious where she's going. As I hold the bear, napaisip ako bigla. Baka nga si Ichi. Nung nakita ko na bumalik si Megan, may kasama sya. Pero iba yung kulay ng shirt at naka cap. I let go of the bear and carefully look outside. Iba yung suot nya. Sa pagkakatanda ko, Ichi was wearing white t-shirt at shorts then black rubber shoes. Habang yung kasama ni Megan eh naka blue shirt, denim pants at blue na Nike rubber shoes.

Nike rubber shoes. Yung tindig, haircut and all.

0_____0! Don't tell me.

At hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kahit sa isip ko alam kong tama ang hinala ko. At nakumpirma ko yun nung tumingin sya sa may gilid.

It was Isaiah.

At dahil sa gulat ko, nasangga ko yung bakal na harang kung saan may nakapila for movie tickets. Napalingon silang dalawa.

"Huh?" Isaiah said at papalapit na sya kung nasan ako nagtatago. San ako pupunta? Oh my God! Invisibility I need you!!!

At bago pa ko makita ni Isaiah, someone pulls me inside Blue Magic. He pull me inside and hide into the big teddy bear. Nung lumingon ako

"Kapre? What the hell are you doing here?"

"What are the odds? I was thinking the same thing"

"Are you following him?" he nod

"What about you? Are you following her?"

"Oo, it's just a coincidence, I saw her sa second floor. At nagtaka ako kaya sinundan ko sya"
