58: Is that you?

Tristan's glorious comeback... :)

Amber

I ran as fast as I could. Amber, carry mo yan. Malapit ka na... I pushed my way through a crowd. Grabe! Bakit ba ang daming tao sa kalsada?

Whew... Finally! I squealed triumphantly as I reach the agency building.

Pumunta ko agad sa reception desk. Huminto ako sa counter at nginitian yung mga receptionists. “Hi. I’m here to meet Ms. Benedicte.” I told one of them.

“Good morning Ma’am. May appointment po ba kayo?” She asked back.

“Well, our appointment was supposed to be on seven o ‘clock but it was postponed due to some matters. Could you check to see if she’s available?”

“Alright Ma’am. Ano nga po palang name nila?”

“Amy Johnson.” I answered.

“Sige po. Tatawagan ko lang po yung secretary niya.”

I waited for a few moments. “Ma’am?” She called my attention. “Her secretary told me that she’s busy at the moment.”

“Anong oras ba siya matatapos?” I asked.

“Siguro after thirty minutes po or so...” She replied.

“Sige. Tell her secretary that I’ll come up. I’ll just wait at her office.” I told her. The receptionist said yes. I walked away from them and to the elevator. On my way, I overheard their conversation.

“Sinabi mo ba kung saan yung office niya?” The other receptionist asked.

“Hindi nga e. Alam kaya niya? Pano? Parang ngayon pa lang naman siya pumunta dito a.” Sagot naman nung nakausap ko kanina.

“Ngayon lang ba talaga? E ba’t parang sobrang familiar ng mukha niya?” Comment ulit nung isa.

Ooopps... Muntik na yun a. Grabe, dapat pala nagtanong na lang ako kung san yung office ni Denise. Hay... Okay na yun. Hindi naman nila nahalata masyado e.

I pushed the button and waited for the elevator. Grabe, ang tagal...

Finally, bumukas na yung elevator. I walked inside and pushed 18. A few moments later, the elevator opened and several passengers went in. Bumaba sila sa eleventh floor.

Maya-maya, bumukas ulit yung elevator. Another passenger... I looked at the man who was about to go in and... What the!

Tristan? Oh my gosh!!! Si Tristan nga! Si Tristan nga! Anong gagawin ko?

“Amber? Is that you?” He asked. He stepped closer to me. Sa sobrang panic, I closed the elevator.

“Ahhh!!! Amber ano ba?” Sigaw niya. Natamaan kasi siya nung pinto when I closed it.

“Hindi ako si Amber! Sino ba yun?” I told him.

“Ano bang sinasabi mo?” He stepped forward and I closed the door again. Na-stuck yung likod ng jacket niya sa door. “Amber! Ano ba!” He shouted.

“I’m not Amber.” Wait... Bakit hindi siya masyadong nagulat nung nakita niya ko?

When the elevator door opened again, I ran out as fast as I could. “Amber! Where are you going?” I heard him yell.

I ran and ran without looking back. Anong floor na ba ‘to? Oh! Who the hell cares! I have to get away from him.

Bakit ba kasi hindi ako nag-iingat? Hindi ko man lang naisip na pwedeng nandito rin si Tristan!
