Owner Of My Heart

Chapter 24

Hello Philippines.

Ali greeted herself  as she inhaled the familiar air of her hometown. She just got off the plane and she can see the people Ali sent to fetch her. May mga hawak itong Placards with her name on it.

She rolled her eyes.

Is she a celebrity or something?
Hindi nga niya alam king aabot ng 50,000 ang laman ng bank account niya.

She quickly covered her face with a scarf and avoided the crowd. Tatakasan niya ang mga ito as far as she know eh matanda na siya. Hindi na siya kindergarten na kailangan pang sunduin ng Nanny para pauwiin. She can handle herself. Nakalusot siya hanggang labas ng airport.

Kahit sobrang polluted ng Pilipinas namiss niya pa rin ito. If she will be born again in the next life she will still choose this place to be her home.

Patawin na, siya ng lane when she noticed a car going swiftly in her way. The car was not slowing down coming on her way. Pag nabangga siya siguradong lilipad siya.

W-what the hell!!

The car came closer that she doesn't know what to do but close her eyes and wait for the painful impact.

Seconds passed ay wala parin siyang nararamdaman. She opened her tightly closed eyes. The BMW stopped, the bumper was few inches on touching her shaky knees.

Hindi niya alam kung magagalit siya sa driver o magpapasalamat. Her knees was too weak to carry her kaya napaupo siya sa gitna ng kalsada.

She did not notice the passenger seat opened.

He helped her get up.

The guy went to window of the driver at parang mahinag boses itong nakitag talo. She noticed how the drivers door was blocked by the guy outside. Parang pinipigilan itong lumabasa sa drivers seat ng lalaking tumulong sa kanya. Then the car went.

When the guy that helped her faced her she was stunned.
Leather jacket, rugged jeans and loafers and shades. His built and face was really unforgettable. Any girl that can met him will never forget him.

H-ow.. Are you following me?!

This is the guy who helped her with her groceries back in the farmers market. He was in Louisiana yesterday now nandito ito kasama niya? This is too unbelievable to be a coincidence.

He just smiled.

I wasn't, maybe it's destiny?

Her eyes narrowed.

C'mon let me get you a drink.

They say don't talk to strangers and if her mom is alive she will kill her. Hindi niya sinusunod amg pangaral nito. Sumama pa siya sa taong di niya kilala.

They went to the nearest coffee shop.
She watched him as he order.

His thick eyebrows..
Long lashes and dark brown eyes.

Is it just her again? Or he really looks familiar..
They must have met before, I mean before the farmers market she must have seen him somewhere.

Hindi siya mapakali.

H-have we met before?
The stranger returned the menu to the waitress and stared at me for a while.

You think so?
Amusement was evident on his voice.

I d-don't know.. You felt really familiar.

Yes, felt familiar hindi lang look.
This idea is ridiculous but her instinct is telling her nothing seems so right in this situation. He knows me but I dont, he shows up for the 2nd time unexpectedly and helped her.
