"Wow, I never expected you." I uttered. He was sitting down in front of me. "Hindi ko nakilala agad ang boses mo actually since it's just yesterday since we formally met and the fact na ikaw at ang buyer ay iisa... I'm sorry for not recognizing you sooner." I apologized.

"I understand, eto pa naman ang unang pagkikita natin as buyer-seller and I didn't even gave you an idea about my looks so...it's pretty okay, really." tipid itong ngumiti. "So, should we settle things straight to the point?"

Akala ko, just like romance novels, na pahahabain pa niya ang paguusap namin. I thought he'll be getting to know me more, ask me random things like he's super interested in me, but my assumptions were wrong. He let out his cheque pad straight from Metrobank in the Philippines. He has sense, I like that. Alam naman niya ang motibo ko kaya ayos lang naman na maging open sa kanya.

"Here it is. 1 million pesos." he handed me one sheet of it with the signature and embedded amount written on the blanks. I scanned it para iwas bounce check pagdating ng Pinas. "Call me if ever pwede nang lumipat don. I'm giving you the freedom. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali." he smiled at me.

I sighed. Phew, I thought he'll be needing the house tomorrow right away. "Thank you for that wonderful statement." I joked. "I still have to finalize my resignation at London Bridge before I'll proceed to the Philippines, actually. Thanks for the time. Tatawagan kita once I'm settled." I replied.

"I understand." he nodded. Napatingin naman ito sa relo niya at binaling ang atensyon sa'kin. "Oh, Regine. I have to go. May meeting pa akong pupuntahan." pagpapaalam niya sa'kin.

"Sure, sure. Bye. Thank you again." I smiled at him at tuluyan na itong naglaho sa paningin ko.

I sipped through my hot mocha latte once more and took a bite on my macarons. I decided na ubusin nang madalian ang kape ko at i-take out nalang tong kinakain ko ngayon. Maybe, a snack while sorting things out on my townhouse. Yes, magsisimula na akong magimpake ngayon.

I left what should be left in that table at kinuha lang ang tissue matapos ipabalot ang macarons at umalis na ng Grazini's. I hailed a taxi over the alley and immediately got one. I went inside and said where should he drop me by. Agad naman niyang nagets kung saan ako pupunta kaya humayo na kami.

I literally miss Lea and Pops. Parang hindi talaga nakukumpleto ang araw ko kung hindi sila nakikita, kung hindi ko naririnig ang mga nakakarindi nilang boses, hindi ko nalalaman ang mga banat at pagigig sopistikada nilang dalawa...hay. Ewan ko ba. There's really no place like home, and my home is them.

About my career...wala na akong pake doon. Ang importante, masaya ako, kumpleto ang pamilya ko at buo ako. Walang kulang sa'kin, walang labis na natatamo. I am wholesomely satisfied with what I have now to the extent that I could possibly wish I can be like this forever. Walang iniisip at magaang dinadala lang ang lahat ng maaring maging problema dahil alam mo namang may mga taong handang umakay sa'yo.

"We're here Madame." he awakened my thoughts and got back to reality. I handed him a 200 dollar bill and said that he should keep the change anyway. Marahan naman itong ngumiti at bumaba na ako ng sasakyan bitbit ang velvet macarons ko.

It felt...strange.

Nilooban ba tong bahay? Hindi naman ako si Ed Caluag pero shite, may nararamdaman talaga akong kakaiba. Locked naman ang gate kaya medyo nahimasmasan ako, pero I am still fully bothered about the aura of my house. Parang may something sa loob na...aish, ewan ko ba. Hindi ko maexplain in words.
