A Journey of Two Night Goers: The Other Moment (Journey Series)

Chapter 28

The next day, I decided to tour Bacolod. I went to the old basilicas and museums and old houses that are now considered tourist spots of the city. I also went to a resort full of huge figurines and statues. I saw families and friends who were swimming in countless pools. I also managed to eat Filipino foods there, which for the record, were delicious.

All the touring though got me thinking about Flo. She's bound for New Zealand. I don't know what came to me, but I suddenly have the urge to see her there. So after touring, I went to the mall, and went to a travel office that would help me book a ticket to New Zealand instead. I have to cancel my ticket home and buy a new one with a different schedule.

Afterwards, I toured the mall for a while, trying to arrange my notifications and schedules on the phone. Moments later, I ended up with a brand selling worship-worthy t-shirts when I saw a familiar figure.

Long, blonde hair, punk rock outfits, a small bag, can it be?

But she wasn't facing me. She was too busy looking at the t-shirts. But her back is really familiar. It's like... Flo.

I shook my head in disbelief. Flo doesn't have plans in Bacolod. She's in New Zealand.

But what if Flo have other plans before New Zealand, probably wanting to celebrate New Year in the Philippines, specifically Bacolod?

I tried to approach her but she was gone moments later. I then went out of the store and looked around to where the girl is. I then saw her going down the escalator. I then followed her and made sure I won't be seen. I was still in the escalator when she already made her way to Jollibee. I then went to Jollibee and looked for the girl from afar. As I made a closer look, something in me couldn't believe what I saw. I hope I was wrong. But I wasn't.

It was Flo.

But what is she doing in Bacolod?

I wanted to go to her. But I can't. I hurt her. Now's not the time. Though I missed her so much, I decided not to approach her. Just then, she looked at my direction, causing me to immediately turn back and make sure I won't be seen. I then left immediately, going back to the hotel.
