Chapter 21
#IllusionsJasbeer Gun POV
“Sir! Naiwan po ng magandang babae na kasama niyo.” The petite woman gave me the folded black jacket and the worn-out sweatpants.
I look around, but I didn't find any trace of my half crazy maid. So, I decided to walk outside the small store to search for her. The wind is quite chilly this afternoon, she shouldn't be walking down here wearing only that sleeveless dress. She will surely catch a cold! Napansin ko pa naman na medyo mahina ang resistensya ng katawan niya, that's why I bought her a cottony sweater, pampalit dito sa super worn-out niyang jacket. 'But where the hell is she right now?'
There's an endless batch of people walking back and forth na para bang hindi napapagod. It literally surpassed my expectation. Kahapon lang nang nakikipagpustahan ako kay Uncle Niegel about the number of people who will attend this grand opening of their new Park. He was boasting so much that it will a big hit, lalo na sa mga lovers and millenials daw. I was contradicting his illusion, saying na sa sobrang dami ng amusement parks dito sa place na 'to, their Park will flop. But look at these, siksikan ang mga tao sa kahit saang sulok. He will surely make fun of me kapag nagkita kami, asking how a professional Psychologist failed to analyze the desire of their target market! Well honestly, I was just kidding him. It's quite entertaining to see Uncle Niegel being so serious and haughty. I remembered Uncle Cross used to tell jokes about how a happy-go-lucky guy like his brother transformed into a very responsible man, because of a very special woman, my Mom.
I was in the midst of looking around when finally a weird woman caught my attention. She was standing awkwardly in the middle of the bustling people. Her bare shoulders and arms were being bumped by others. Even from afar and her back facing me, I can tell that she's scared. Scared of what? The people around her?
I was about to call her when she suddenly sat down at the cold ground. Hugging herself. 'She's really scared', I thought to myself. I then skipped calling her, nilapitan ko siya and carefully ipinatong ko sa balikat niya ang sweater that I had just bought para sa kanya.
She slowly looked at me with her crystal tears falling down her pale cheeks. I don't know what happened to her, but at this very moment I felt the urge to hold her.. tightly.
“It's okay. Nandito na ako.” I said, ensuring her that everything's gonna be fine. I wiped her tears away and helped her to stand. I can actually feel her knees shaking, kaya mas hinigpitan ko ang pagkakahawak sa isang braso niya. “Do you wanna go home?” I asked her. I think it's best kung umuwi na nga lang muna kami, so that she can rest well.
She breathe deeply and managed to stand with her own. I can see na pinipilit niya ang sarili niya, showing me that she's well and nothing's wrong. “Okay lang ako, Doctor Jasbeer. Medyo.. ahm.. ano kasi...” She can't even tell me why.
I gave her a genuine smile. “Then.. do you want to eat? 'Cause honestly I'm hungry.”
Tumango siya ng paulit-ulit while wearing an excited smile.
“Let's go.” I snatched her cold hand and was about to walk, but then I spotted a nuisance.
He's meters away from us, mukhang may hinahanap siya and I'm pretty sure it's the woman I'm with. Kung magtutuloy kami sa direction na ito, makikita niya kami easily.
“Si Sir Arc..” I looked at her. Nakita niya rin pala ang policeman na 'yun.
I immediately blocked her from that searching policeman and flashed the biggest smile. I know nagmukha akong a little crazy in front of her, but I can't help it. I don't want to share her with someone else!
