Chapter 3: ✈
"Star!?" Luke and I both exclaimed.
"What Are you doing here?" nakauwi na pala siya.
What is she doing here? She's supposed to be in London?
"Oh Sky, Luke! it's me Light? don't you remember?" The lady in front which we thought was star.
"Light? The Ultimate Star fan? Wow, you look really diff. you are becoming more alike with star. Except for the way you talk" Sabi ni Luke sa kanya, while I just stood beside him.
"Thanks for the compliment, i really worked hard for this for about 3 years in New York, just to look exactly like her. Glad it paid off." Pagmamalaki niya and chuckled at the end of her sentence.
"Oh i see..." Ang tangi ko na lang nasabi sa kanya.
"Oh I need to go, family's waiting. It's nice seeing you both again." She said, and before we could even say anything nawala na siya sa harapan namin.
Ang bilis naman nun. Grabe.
So si Light ay dati namin Classmate nung first year na super die hard fan ni S-Star pero lumipat nga siya simula ng lumipat s-si Star.
"Woah." Luke and I again both muttered at the same time.
"I thought it was really her." I said and sighed deeply.
"Yeah Light changed a lot. but one thing's for sure It can't be her, you and I both know that." He said and squeezed my hand for comfort and I guess it is working and just by doing that makes me feel safe.
"But Luke what if it's her!? I- I don't know what to do." I said with a worried look evident on my face
"Sky, look at me." He said and now we are face to face with each other.
Hinawakan niya ang magkabilang balikat ko, and assuring words suddenly came out from his mouth.
"Always remember that I'll never leave you and we are together forever okay?" And all I could do is nod for an answer and I didn't mind myself hugging him for a second.
I don't know, it's just that I feel so safe around him.
"So now, stay calm and Let's go somewhere that'll help you forget what happened." He said and held my hand to lessen my fear.
Haaaay nakakainlove ka Luke. Oh geez. ERASE.
What was I thinking?
"O-okay" I agreed and let him stroll me around the mall.
As we were walking around, I could see in my peripheral vision that some guy is following us and stabbing hundreds of cold stares at our direction.
If looks could only kill, we'll be dead meat by now.
"U-uhhm Luke, i think we should go home." I said as i gripped his hand tighter at hindi pinapahalata na takot ako.
"Why? What's wrong?" He questioningly asked with a worried tone and facing towards me.
I decided to tell him the truth for our safety.
"I think someone's following us since we bumped into Light, and it's creeping me out." I said but assuring that the guy following us doesn't know that I already knew he's behind. Sana hindi niya kami maabutan.
"Tell me exactly what he looks like. So i know who." He said and checking around to see who it was.
"H-he's wearing a blue cap and a gray shirt." I said because that's the least I could describe him.
"Is that the guy with a huge tattoo in his arm?" he asked as I nodded.
"Oh geez, not him! that's your psychotic stalker." He said and pulled me closer to him. Anong sabi niya?
"My what!?" I asked surprisingly, not sure of what I heard.
"Your Psychotic Stalker. He once asked me to help him court you, but I said he can't and back off. so i guess that's why he started following you." He said and placed his arms around my shoulders as we continued walking.
"Bakit mo yun sinabi? what if he doesn't stop stalking me!? and you said he's psychotic, what if something bad happens to me? i'll blame you for that!" I ranted him, and mas nilapit ko ang sarili ko sa kanya kasi kinakabahan talaga ako.
"Don't worry sky. Nothing bad will happen to you. I promise." Sabi niya assuring me na safe talaga ako at niyakap niya din ako.
Kaya i just shrugged it off, wala rin naman magagawa if nagalala pa ako.
"Thank you, pero uwi na tayo pagod na din ako." Sabi ko sa kanya at kumalas na sa yakap namin.
"If that's what you want." Sabi niya and hinawakan niya na lang yung kamay ko habang naglalakad kami papunta sa parking.

*Home 3:00 PM
Pagpasok ko pa lang may nagsalita na mula sa sofa.
"Hey young lady" My dad said and i guess nasa sofa siya.
"Oh hey dad," I said and smiled at him.
"It's new that your early from work, haha kidding." I added at niyakap din siya an gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Where have you been? " I heard my dad asked before I could ran fast up the stairs.
"Wala naman dad. I just went shopping with Luke." Sagot ko and tutuloy na sana ako paakyat ng hagdan pero nagsalita ulit siya.
"We are moving again to Australia." What? Babalik na kami dun? Noooo!
lumapit ulit ako kung nasaan si Dad at iniwan ko muna mga shopping bags sa baba ng hagdan.
"But why dad? I'm happy na naman dito sa Philippines. I want to stay here." I said and niyakap siya para may palambing effect pa.
"It's for work and i don't want to leave you and your mom here." Sabi niya at tumayo para kunin yung remote ng tv.
"But why so sudden dad? kakalipat lang natin dito for like 5 years ago. And i'm not that even fluent in tagalog" Reklamo ko with matching sad face pa.
"Well, september pa naman yung flight natin. But I want to tell you early so you could get ready." Sabi ni Dad na ngayon ay nagbobrowse ng mga channel.
"How long are we gonna stay there? Madali lang naman siguro magayos. I guess we are not going to be that long." sabi ko and inabot ko yung chips na nasa coffee table at kumain.
By the way nakaupo pala kami ni Dad sa couch ngayon.
"That's the problem dear, see uhmm... your Mom and I napagusapan namin na mag-stay na lang sa australia kasi that would be better for us." Sabi ni dad but parang may guilt din sa pagsasalita niya na parang alam niya na ayaw ko which is true.
A Big NO. I'm not going.
"Why dad? Nooooo! Please I can manage naman here by myself, but I really don't want to go." Sabi ko and before he could even speak umakyat na ko pataas sa kwarto ko together with my shopping bags.
I better tell Luke about this.
