8 years ago"It's just a picture of my condo." I replied. Nanlaki ang mata ko nang marealize ko.
Wait, what?
I looked at the message again to confirm it.
Picture nga 'yon ng building ng condo ko. Bakit may nagsend sa akin nito?
"Girl, baka nagtatanong ng unit sayo?" Natatawang sabi ni Gia.
Ayokong magisip ng kung ano ano dahil baka nagkataon lang naman.
Baka naghahanap ng condo unit 'to.
Gia dropped me off sa labas ng building ng condo ko after namin mag late-lunch.
I texted Mason as I rode the elevator, informing him about what happened to my day.
Me:
Babe, we just finished our return demo kanina. Thanks for being my dummy!Mason:
Of course, babe, anytime. How did it go?Me:
Almost perfect score ko. The only problem is I dropped the syringe kaya minus points. But I hit the vein, so...Mason:
Okay lang kahit hindi perfect as long as you did well on your practicals. Congrats, baby.Me:
Thanks, babe!Lumabas na ako nang magbukas ang pinto ng elevator nang makarating ito sa floor ko. I got my keys on my bag as I walk down the hallway.
Pagkarating ko sa tapat ng pinto ng unit ko ay biglang bumukas ang pinto sa katapat na unit ng condo ko. I glanced behind me to greet my neighbor and my eyes narrowed in confusion because the guy looked familiar to me.
Napalingon siya sa akin nang mapansin niya na nakatitig ako sa kaniya.
"Hi, I'm your new neighbor." He said habang kumakaway.
My eyes widened when I realized who it was.
"You're the guy from the bar... um, months ago I think?" Sabi ko.
"I remember you too. You're Gabby, right?" He said as he gazed at me from head to toe.
I nodded. "Small world."
He shrugged and locked his door as he stepped out. "Small world." Sabi niya at tinignan ulit ako na para bang may malalim na iniisip bago siya umalis at naglakad papunta ng elevator.
Someone just sent me a photo of myself while sleeping, naked. Nasa Batanes kami ni Mason ngayon at hindi alam kung paano nakuha ang picture na 'yon.
He was pacing back and forth inside our hotel room, nawala na ang antok namin dahil sa na-receive na message.
"Do you have any idea who it was?" Mason ran his hand through his hair as he asked.
Nakatulala pa rin ako dahil sa takot, my hands are shaking involuntarily. "I don't know."
"Who the fuck would do that?"
I shut my eyes closed, natatakot pa rin dahil may nakapasok sa unit ko. "Did you lock my door when you left after we... um... the night we got soaked by the rain?" I asked.
He sighed, holding the bridge of his nose. "Of course, Gabby. I locked it."
I bit my lip, tears were brimming in my eyes in fear. "I think that picture was taken the night na galing tayo sa amusement park, when we got soaked."
