(COMPLETED) MR. SERIES 5: Mr. Snatcher

8

Its been almost a week and she felt like hell all along waiting for Cardo to come back. Ayaw na niyang lokohin ang sarili niya at magsinungaling pa na hindi siya attracted kay Cardo. She knows herself better and she isn't the kind na pabebe. Shes always practical yet reasonable.

"Yes ok detective. Ill check my email... ok are you sure yun na ang lahat ng nakuha mong imbestigasyon sa kanya...?"

Nanginginig ang kamay niyang nag bukas ng iphone niya to check her gmail. Heto na ang pinaka hihintay nya. Ang mga impormasyon tungkol kay Cardo.

"God pls... sana kung ano man ang laman ng email is for the greater good...sana lang po..."

Cardo H. Dimagiba
Born in Lucena City
Currently residing at A. Mabini Tondo Manila
32 years old
January 15, 1986
Elementary graduate...
Single
Roman Catholic

Etc... and all of other basic information.

Ok...so... he is who he says he is. Hindi niya maintindihan. Parang nabunutan siya ng tinik pero at the same time... she's feeling halfway disappointed.

She feels like shes becoming irrational. Kinuha niya kaagad ang cellphone para maipamalita kay Alexa ang laman ng investigation.

"Hello lexa... andito na ang investigation report...and sad to say. We are both wrong. Tugma naman lahat ng investigation reports niya. He is really from Tondo."

"What about it Andrea? Para naman sakin its nit like it is his fault na ipinanganak siyang mahirap. Baka pokpok ang nanay tas nabuntis ng foreigner...ganun! Then so what kung mahirap? As long as he is gonna make you happy. Anyone that costs your happiness is always worth it! Huwag mong pahirapan ang sarili mo. Baka yan ang message nung nang yari sa dating love triangle nyo ni Braxton at Cara. That should teach you a lesson. Maybe...HUMILITY?!"

"Cge na nga...point taken. Hindi naman talaga mata pobre ang pamilya namin. Wala silang paki. Its just my pride you know..."

"Yeah cliche but true! Always naman yan kahit sa ibang tao...pride versus heart...at ni minsan Andrea wala akong narinig na istorya na naging masaya dahil pride ang pinairal. So with that being said. Ikaw nang bahalang mamili...end of the day, its your life... bye bestfriend love you!"

Oh shit! That struck her! Tagos na tagos... she is spending the whole night, lying in her bed trying to gauage every possible consequence if she will pursue Cardo.

Is she really willing to ruin her name and her image just to pursue a relationship with someone that is too risky to begin with...?

Paano kung taposin nalang niya ang kontrata with him. Give him his freedom back and live like how she used to before meeting him...?

Napukaw ang pinag iisip niya when she heard knock on the door...

"Ah Cardo ikaw pala. Akala ko bukas kapa makakabalik?"

Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit parang gusto niya itong yakapin na para bang boyfriend niya na kakauwi lang galing abroad... she is stopping herself to do that.

"Uh mam... tapos ko na po kasi lahat. Ito na po yung mga papeles pati narin sa license ko po sa firing. Salamat po pala doon sa paggastos nyo dun. Pwedi nyo rin po yun lg e deduct sa sahud ko ng paunti2x..."

"Oh..no no. Its fine. Those are for my welfare. Isipin mo nalang na requisite yun sa kompanya... ok? Mag pahinga ka na. May lakad tayo bukas."
