I knocked on the window on the driver seat of the van, causing Tacoy to jump in fright. He then looked in our direction and I mouthed "sorry" to him. He then rolled down the window.
"Diyos ko naman Freya. Ginulat mo ko. (My God Freya. You scared me)"
I tilted my head in confusion, "Huh?"
"I mean you....ummm.... you make me shook."
I giggled, he means scared. I scared him. "I'm sorry Tacoy."
He then looked at Harry, smirking, "Wow Freya. Boyfriend niyo po? (Is he your boyfriend?)"
I noticed my cheeks redden, "He's not my boyfriend Tacoy. Umm, this is Harry. Harry, this is Tacoy."
They shook hands and said words of greeting. Afterwards, I talked to Tacoy.
"Tacoy, can you umm... translate this? This is pure Filipino." I asked as I gave him the letter.
"No problem Ma'am Freya." He smiled.
"Thank you Tacoy." I smiled as well. Moments later, he was able to translate the 1st and 2nd letter. He then told us what it means.
"The first letter is about love. In short, a love letter to Maria Ablen from a Jaime. The second letter is a letter to someone who will find it."
"What did it say?"
"That you should not LBC it."
"What's LBC?" I asked.
"Umm.... A letter place."
"You mean express mail?"
"Yan. Yes that."
"The letter means that whoever finds it should send it to Maria personally?"
Tacoy nodded.
"But we don't know where that Maria Ablen is. Heck, we don't even know who she is." Harry said, brushing his hair back.
I bit my lip again, trying to find ways on giving the letter to Maria. Until Tacoy spoke up.
"Naku, I think it's good if we eat first before the letter."
I smiled, "Good idea Tacoy. I'm hungry for dinner."
He smiled back, "Yes. We'll eat at carinderia (eatery)"
"Carinderia?" Harry and I said at the same time.
"Another Jollibee but with Filipino food."
I smiled, then went in the van, "Come with us Harry."
"Its fine-"
"We'll know more about the letter. Come on."
He smiled, "Okay." And he went in the van with me. We then drove to the place Tacoy was talking about.
