Not Into Her

XLI - The Visitation To An Old Friend

Three days from the reunion night, I and my friends drove to the nearest department store with the van I instructed to the boys. We bought a complete set of speakers, and an expensive mixing table for Vincent to play. I also bought Alessa her first violin because I always knew that she really love to play violin.

After buying some stuff for the party, I and the boys took the speakers and the table and stuffed it on our van. When we got home, I and the boys evenly cleaned the whole house and planned to renovate to a higher stage of architecture. I evenly drew the design for the house and they loved the design I made for the house.

The next day, I woke early from bed and took a peek from my laptop. I signed in to my Facebook page and found some unread messages from my chat box. When I clicked on the chat box, I found that my friend Francine got a message to me, saying:

Are you in Davao now?

So I replied it:

Yes. We're in Davao when I read your message.

Suddenly, I saw a green dot staring next on Francine's name, a sign that she's online at this moment. After a minute or two, I saw her first chat in our chat box.

Can we meet up today? I asked the woman in the chat box.

Sure, sure. she replied. Where can we meet up?

How 'bout your place?

That's a great idea. The address is Blk. 6 Lot 4 Julian-Perez Sts., Doña Salud Village, Sasa, Davao City. I'll prepare the songs that you'll gonna play.

Can I add some?

Sure. As long it's appropriate for the event.

I'll provide some dance hits for the background. My band mate wants some dance songs to make the night soar high.

Sure, I'll agree with that point.

So see you in this morning.

Okay. I'll see you.

After the small chat. I immediately turned the laptop off and head to the dining room to eat some breakfast. Alessa woke up from her sleep while she heard me eating in the dining room early in the morning. She walked to the dining table, with her hair still scattered, and sat on the chair at the front of my chair.

"Good morning, honey." I greeted my daughter. "How's your sleep?"

"It's great, Dad." she replied. "You looks dressed for the day. Are you going somewhere?"

"Yes, honey. I'm going to one of my high school friends and talk about the upcoming event."

"Can I go with you?"

"Don't, honey. Stay here and have some rest for the day. I'll be back at noon."

"Okay, Dad."

Alessa walked back to bed and slept for the rest of the day. I stood up after I drank the last pint of my milk from the fridge. I put the used plates and utensils on the sink and decided to wash them up when I got home. Then I took my car keys of my dark-red 2013 Toyota GT-86 and hopped to my car. And I drove the car away from the gate.

The car has a navigation system that enables the car show the direct and possible routes to the destination. I pushed some buttons on the screen, the destination is Francine's current address of her house. After making the right input on the system, I immediately revved the car and drove out from the village. I head to the left, to the south of the city, and drove inside Brgy. Sasa.
