Living With The Billionaire

Rocky

Thunderstorms. God i hate them.

My shift is done. And hell its raining cats and dogs.

Magsasara narin ang restaurant in a few minutes. But how the hell will i go home to my apartment without getting wet. My apartment is just 20 minute walk from here. But again, its raining.

Wala akong payong. You know why? Because i hate umbrellas. I dont know, i just hate them. It kinda makes an impression that i'm weak. That i am needy of protection. Ugh. I hate my weirdness. Because of that uuwi akong basa.

"Huy Rocky! Kanina ka pa nakapag punch out ha, di ka pa ba uuwi?"

People call me Rocky, that's my nickname and i prefer it like that. A few people like Sandro and Gretchen my workmates is I consider as my friends.

"Uhm, wala akong payong eh. You know me. Baka magpatila nalang muna ako or tatakbuhin ko nalang pag hindi tumigil ulan"

"Tsk tsk, yan kasi problema sa mga mayayaman eh nasanay ka na siguro na may susundo hatid sayo na driver at may magpapayong sayo kaya di ka na nag bother mag dala pa."

Yup. They know my story and why i ended up in this position. And I admit it, siguro nga nasanay ako sa ganung buhay aside from my weird point of view sa payong.

"FYI, 'dating' mayaman." I said as i emphasized the word "dati".

"Yeah right" he teased.

"Halika sumabay ka na samin ni Gretchen, mag bubus kami."

"hindi na, nagtitipid ako. Sayang pa 15 pesos ang lapit lapit lang naman ng flat ko."

As I said kanina, kinakaya naman ng sahod ko na buhayin ako. Pero kailangan lang din talaga medyo bumaluktot ang kumot para kayanin ko.

The rent and my necessities are just too much for me. Sometimes all i have to eat is just a bread and a coffee from 5 peso vending machine. And hell. I've never been broke.

At times like that, i will just broke down and cry myself to sleep.

"ano ba yan! Halika na libre nalang kita ng pamasahe. Lika na! Oh ayan na pala bus eh tara!"

Hindi naman na ko nakasagot at nakatanggi kasi hinigit na ko ni Gretchen pasakay ng bus.

When I used to have my own car and my personal driver, i have never experienced going through public transportation like this. Well basically my life literally just flipped to its other side.

It makes me both sad and excited for a new experiences.

Not long till bumaba na ko sa tapat ng apartment ko. May mga kapitbahay ako na di ko naman pinakealaman mula nung lumipat ako dito. Di ko sila kinilala, di ko sila inusisa, i'm just too self absorbed sa sarili kong buhay. I'm too pressured to live on my own, feed my self, i dont know till when will i survive alone.

When i keyed myself in to my apartment i did not bother eating, or getting changed because i had a long day at work, i jumped to bed and slept the second i had laid may head on my pillow.
