MAINE's  POV

FROM: Aa. Rj
(Saturday 9:33am)

Good morning! Around Pasig
na ako, daan lang akong SB
medyo kinulang sa tulog e
excited! HAHA may gusto ka?

TO: Aa. Rj
(Saturday 9:34)

Macchiato venti hot nalang
I'll pay here nalang baba na ako
sa front door para di ka na tanungin
sa front desk. Sinabi ko naman
kagabi na I'll have visitor today.
eh baka sa disguise mo dika nila
papasukin! Ingat, see you in a bit.

After kong masend yung message ko sakanya, I run to the elevator na kasi nasa 34th floor pa ako actually it's the top most unit, apat lang ang unit dito penthouse kung tawagin ewan ba sa parents ko bat ito pa kinuha. Pero sabi nga nila para naman daw kapag bibisita sila they still have a place to stay.

Where are you na?

Naglinga linga ako side to side

*beep beep

"Hi!" bati ko sakanya pagkababa ng window niya and then I hop in at tinuro ko na yung papunta sa parking lot

"Hi Manong! 34th floor po Mendoza, parking 24 po" sabi ko sa guard at kinontak naman niya ang front desk to confirm kung ako talaga to

"Ok po ma'am" sabi niya at inangat na yung harang

"Susyal pang mayaman talaga" sabi ni Rj that earns a one Nicomaine hampas "Aray"

"Ikaw kasi, as if naman hindi ganito condo ng manager mo na pinupuntahan mo"

"HAHAHA hindi talaga noh" sabi niya at patuloy lang sa pagdrive ng paikot

I find it kinda hard

Paano na kaya kung ako na yung nagdadrive dito? Jusko iniisip ko palang sana may insurance na agad yun pagkabigay ni tatay

"Are you ok?" bigla niyang tanong while still eyes on the turnings

"Yah, I was just thinking kung paano na ako kapag ako na yung nagdadrive hahaha jusko! Sana may insurance na agad yun pagkabigay ni tatay"

I heard him chuckle

"I'll teach if you want"

"Talaga????" I was in a moment of shock

"UY!" sabi niya and then were on the 10th floor and I'm instructing him where is no.24 parking number is

"Ikaw may sakit kang natutulala"

"Wala nagulat lang ako"

"Ano ka ba, if you want lang naman e saka alam muna kung kaya ng schedule ko pero if you really want I'll make a way for you"

"Stop being clingy" and then we reach the front desk

"Hi, ahhm 34th floor po sa penthouse 2"

"Name of the visitor po?"

Nagkatinginan kami ni Rj, he's wearing a hoodie and face mask

*cough

"Richard" he says between his fake cough

"Richard?" the receptionist asks

"Richard Reyes, Maine's classmate" sabi niya at saka inayos ang hoodie

"Ok Ms. Mendoza and Mr. Reyes thank you" sabi nung receptionist and we headed to the elevator

Pagpasok na pagpasok namin sa elevator ay sabay kaming nagpakawala ng buntong hininga ni Rj at nagkatinginan sabay tawa. I told him not to remove his hoodie and mask until we reached my unit kasi CCTV's are all over the building except inside my unit of course.
