Chapter 58: Manila
Aria's POV
Dumadampi sa balat ko ang mainit na hangin ng Manila. Ibang-iba talaga ang hangin dito compare to Canada. Nanibago tuloy ako bigla. Nasanay kasi ako na medyo malamig ang klima at hindi ganito ka polluted ang hangin. Anyway wala naman akong magagawa. This is Manila. This is my Country and this is my home. I just need to accept that we can't change things.
Sumakay na ako ng taxi papunta sa apartment/condo na tutuluyan ko. I decided to stay here for atleast a month so I can fix everything.
I carry my bag from the taxi and come inside the Condo. I get my keys from the front desk before I go to my room. Well maganda naman dito. Medyo iba nga lang kaysa sa ine-expect ko from the photos in the internet. Mas maganda kasi dun pero okay narin naman.
I decided to get a small room for me. Since ako lang naman mag-isa ang tutuloy dito hindi ko na kailangan ng malaking bahay. Naisip ko nga sana na kay Raine nalang ulit makitira kaso tingin ko kasi mas magiging kumportable ako pag ganito.
It's already 4 in the afternoon. Dahil nakakapagod magbyahe ng ilang oras napagdesisyunan ko na magpahinga muna. Tutulog na muna ako bago pumunta kay Raine. I want to surprise her. Hindi niya kasi alam na uuwi ako ng Pilipinas.
10 o'clock in the evening. Sobrang tagal ko namang nakatulog. Bumangon na ako at nagmadaling magpalit ng damit. Yung suot ko pa kasing damit ay yung kanina pa. Hindi na ako nakapagpalit kasi pagod na talaga ako.
Hindi ko alam kung maganda ba na lumabas pa ng ganito kagabi dito sa Manila. Marami pa namang tao sa labas base sa nakikita ko from the taxi. Mas masaya kasi talaga maglagalag pag gabi. There is something in your body na medyo mataas ang energy at confidence mo pag gabi. I don't know why.
Pumunta ako sa coffee shop namin ni Raine but unfortunately sarado na. Medyo weird kasi 10 o'clock palang naman. Ang alam ko 12 o'clock nagsasara ito.
I don't have a choice so I decided to go to her apartment. I'm not sure if she is still living there but I'll give a try.
I knock several times on the door but hell no one is answering me. I ask the other people passing their way if Raine is living here but I got no answer from them. Hindi ba nila kilala kung sino ang mga kapit-bahay nila.
Dahil walang-wala na akong choice, tinawagan ko na siya. Okay lang na hindi ko na siya masurpresa basta mahanap ko lang siya. Saan ba siya kasi pumunta?
"Hello Raine."
'Who's t-this?' Ang ingay ng paligid niya. Ang daming nagsisigawan.
"It's me, Aria. Where are you?" I shouted so she can here me from her phone.
'Oh! Hey! Did you change your n-number? ----Give me that drink. Yah the vodka.' Is she in the bar?
"Raine I want you to tell me where you are?"
'I actually don't know this place. B-But it's a huge bar.' I guess she's drunk.
"Who are with you?"
'Myself. I'm alone here...Well I have this man beside me. I don't know his name but he's cute. He has a beard and a kissable lips and cute hair and he is wearing a blackjacket and---'
"Raine can you just please open your location from your phone so I can know where you are."
'Okay....Done..."
"Stay there I will come in there."
'Are you going to fly? Haha you're not superman. Canada is so far from here. Stop joking. Haha'
