AINE 4

Sino kaya ang nasa labas? She asked herself.

The last time she cheked ay wala siyang lakad. Wala rin siyang appointment or anything except that damn dinner with the Martins.

Pinakiramdaman niya ang nasa labas. She held her breath for a second trying to listen to any noise coming from the outside. Hindi naman sa natatakot siya. She is confident that the guards won't let someone inside the condominium without passes or permission from the unit owner. Her condo is one of the most popular condominiums in the city. Iilang mga artista rin ang nakatira dito.

The doorbell rang again. This time she decided to stand up and went to the door. She did not do anything but to stare at the screen just beside the door.

She saw a guy wearing gray t-shirt and khaki pants. He looked handsome, she was sure of that. But what caught her attention was the flowers the guy was carrying. It was a huge and beautifully arranged bouquet.

She frowned. Who in the world would send her flowers? Ni wala siyang manliligaw.

The guy looked so frustrated so she decided to push the talk button on the screen.

"Who are you?" She asked on her usual sweet voice. Medyo nagulat pa ang lalaki sa labas and looked somewhere. Maybe he was looking where the voice was actually coming. He then smiled when he realized It came from the small speaker installed beside the door.

"Hi." He smiled.

"I said who are you?" This time may diin na sa boses niya.

"I want sent here by a stupid guy. He doesn't have the guts to face you so he blackmailed me to tell my girlfriend things about my past if I won't agree with him."

She was silent for a moment. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang sasabihin. They guy looked completely foreign to her. Hindi niya ito nakita ni kailanman.

"He? Sino siya?" She inquired.

"Damn." It was low but she heard him.

"I heard that." Pero tinawanan lang siya nito.

"Alright missy. Can you just open the damn door so I can personally hand this to you? He told me to hand this to you directly and not to leave on your doorstep." Tumawa pa ito.

"I don't know you."

"Ofcourse you don't. You don't have to know me anyway, just accept this once and for all." Unti-unting nawala ang ngiti nito. She knew nauubos na ang pasensya nito.

She opened the door.. just enough for her to see the guy.

"Don't worry I am harmless." He defended. Wala pa siyang sinasabi but it seems the guy knew what she was thinking.
