Hunting Lost Heart

Prologue

"Oli, where are you? Kanina pa ako nandito sa harap ng mall."

[Saglit lang eto naman. I'm on my way na traffic lang sis.]

"Bilisan mo may meeting pa ako mamaya around 2pm. Alam mo naman na ayaw ko sa lahat ang ma-late ako sa mga meetings ko."

[Oo na. Eto naman galet na galet us2 manaket]

"You have time to make jokes pa. Bilisan mo na ang init kaya gosh."

[Why don't you go inside first? Message nalang kita kapag nasa mall na ako.]

"Alright. Just hurry up, I'm so gutom na hindi na kaya ng tummy ko."

[O siya sige na. I need to focus on driving baka mamaya sa hospital pa tayo magkita. Love ya sis.]

Eversince, napakatagal gumayak ni Oli. Siya yung tipong laging late kapag may call time. Kaya minsan naiisip ko siguro nung nagbigay ng kabagalan kumilos si God, sinapo ni Oli ng buong-buo.

Currently, we are here in Paris. We need to stay here for 2 weeks because I have seminar to attend. Sinamahan lang talaga ako ni Oli dito kasi ayaw niyang mag-isa ako baka raw mamiss ko lalo siya kapag magka-ldr daw kami.

I walk around the mall but I noticed that parang andaming tao ngayon. Maybe it's because Christmas Day is near. They are buying gifts siguro for their fam and for their loved ones.

But me, wala naman ako dapat pagbigyan ng regalo. Oh, there is pala, si Oli. My parents is not here because they are focusing to grow our company. They always say to me that I can have the company in the future. But I still decided to take the path of my dream, to be an architect and now I reach it.

I think about kung ano ba gusto ni Oli. What if bigyan ko siya ng designer na bag? Napaka-kuripot kasi ng babaitang iyon. She doesn't want to buy things for herself.

I decided to stop by at Chanel. Halos lahat ng taong nageentertain sa customer ay walang available so nagtingin-tingin nalang ako.

Nagkakaubusan na rin ng stocks kaya kailangan ko ng pumili ng bag. There's one bag na nagstand-out talaga sakin. It is the classic handbag with tweed and gold-tone metal.

I was gonna take the bag but there's someone who hold it too. Magagalit na sana ako kasi I am the one who hold it first.

Kakausapin ko na sana iyong humawak sa bag pero nagulat ako kung sino.

Namamalikmata lang ba ako?

What is he doing here?
