The Last Confession [hiatus]

Chapter 2.1: Remnants of the Past

Finally! Day off ko na. Feels like I want to go to Nuvali to BREATHE SOME FRESH AIR. Puno kasi ng polusyon dito sa Pasay.

08:33am [text message from unknown]

UNKNOWN: Hi dj shung, this is Alex, the one that called you’re segment last night. I’m just asking if you’re free po today? Can we hangout po?

ME: Uhmm, Hi Alex. Tamang tama timing mo. Today’s my day off and I’m planning to go to Nuvali to breathe some fresh air.

Inemphasize ko lang yung breath of fresh air baka sakaling matamaan siya.

ALEX: How did you know about that?

ME: About what?

UNKNOWN: Nothing po. So, can I invite you an early dinner at Nuvali?

ME: Uhh, yeah sure. See you there. 5pm sharp.

Di man lang ako nagpakipot! Palibhasa, matagal ko din siyang hindi nakita. Tsaka miss ko na siya. Ano ba yan!!

“Nay, may lalakarin lang po ako sa Sta.Rosa mamaya ha. Kayo na po mamili ng uulamin, eto po pera oh.”

“Osige nak, ingat ha.”

“Oy kevin anong gusto mong pasalubong?”

“Kahit ano basta yung soluble.”

“hahaha, soluble ka pa diyan. Katakawan mo talaga. Osige uuwian ko nalang kayo.”

5:43pm

Ang sarap ng hangin dito! Ang presko, nakakarelax..

Suddenly, a guy approached me..

“Hi, uhm, are you dj shunga?” he said smilingly.

“Umm, yep. You must be Alex?” I answered.

“Opo hehe”

Hmm.. Dapat siguro I’ll change my name. Para di obvious.

“Well, I’m Shen.” Hahaha, shen pa nga daw. Ang lapit sa sheng e! haay..

“Whoa, almost the same name as my bestfriend.” BULAG! Eto na nasa harapan mo! Pero papahirapan kita! Kala mo ganun kadali ha!

“Oh yeah right. So.. Anong balak mo?” I asked, playing safely.

“Find her. And tell her that I love her.”

“That’s nice. But don’t you think you’re too late to do that?”

“I hope I’m not.”

“What if you already found her, but she’s happy now with another guy?”

“Well.. I don’t know. I guess I should accept my defeat. And, maybe it’s karma tapping my back.”

“You know Alex, we’ll never know what will happen. Go and take the chance to look for her because she’s not waiting forever.

“I know, Shen. But, how will I found out where she is?”

“Umm.. I dont know.”

“Ganito nalang, tuwing kelan ba day off mo?”

“Saturday and Sunday.”

“Edi good! Every day off mo, tulungan mo ako hanapin siya.”

“Grabe naman yang hinihingi mo. Masyadong time consuming ha, may kickback ba ako diyan?”

“Umm, kickback? Edi i’ll treat you for breakfast, lunch, meryenda, dinner every sat and sun. deal?”

“Uhh-uhmm.. Okay?” Pano kaya namin hahanapin yung sarili ko eh andito lang ako sa harapan niya. Parang tanga lang no? Ayaw ko din naman kasi aminin.

“Shen, tara eat tayo. Treat ko.”

“Ah, um.. Kasi..”

“Sige na! Minsan lang to!” he insist.

“Umm sige na nga.”

So ayun.. We ate, kwentuhan, and stuff. It made me uneasy kasi, I cant look him straight in the eye. Knowing that he’s everything I want. Matagal ko rin siyang hinintay, hinanap. Ang hirap magpanggap na ako to. Na ako yung babaeng hinahanap niya. Ayaw ko sabihin na ako to, kasi.. Magiging kumplikado nanaman ang lahat. Mahihirapan nanaman ako.. Tsaka, pano na si Marco..

“Shen, shen?!”

“Ayy, bakit? Ano yung sinasabi mo?”

“Ah, eh, bakit ka muna tulala? Parang ang lalim ata ng iniisip mo?”

“Ay, wala yun!”

“San ka nakapagtapos, shen?”

“Sa UP Diliman. BS Broadcast administration. Ikaw?”

“Ako sa FEU, BS accountancy”

“Ah talaga, ang galing mo siguro sa Math. San ka nagwowork ngayon?”

“Sa isang company. Ako yung Chief financial officer.”

“Talaga? Ang galing mo naman. Katulad ka pa rin ng dati, magaling.”

“Ha? Anong sinabi mo? Kilala mo ba ako dati?”

“Ha? Ano bang sabi ko?” shucks! Nadulas ako!!

“Sabi mo magaling pa din ako tulad ng dati.”

“Ah, sinabi ko ba yun? Pasensya! May iba kasi akong iniisip e, hehe.”

“Nako, inaantok ka na siguro, ‘no? Tara na at nang maihatid na kita.”

“Ay nako alex wag na! Malayo bahay namin, sa pasay pa.”

“Dadaanan ko din naman yun eh.”

“Umm, okay sige if you insist.”

Waaaaaaaaaaah, shocks, buti di niya ako namukaan.
