Chapter Three
KILLANI woke up at the sound of crashing waves and salty air, she left the balcony open to let the cold wind in. She prefers fresh air than air-conditioned room, paano niya kaya nakayang manatili sa loob ng eroplano? Her head aches, and she doesn't feel like getting up. She recalled last night's happening, was her decision okay? To run and walk away?
Gusto niyang hanapin ang nagmamay-ari at humingi ng tawad, pay for the damage if possible; kapag kinaya ng budget niya. But the culprit never admits their fault, even a criminal would defend their selves in court. What happened was a pure accident, it may appear as an intention but it wasn't. Iba ang target niya, iba naman ang natamaan. Ang kapal ng mukha nitong mag-ala basketball player, hindi naman siya sharp shooter.
She should still apologize, but where the hell could she find the owner? She's in Sweden for shit's sake, hindi niya alam ang mga lugar dito. Baka maligaw pa 'to sa kakahanap, hindi muna siya sasabay sa iba para kumain. She's nervous, baka makita niya pa ang may ari ng kotse. She grabbed her phone and dialled Gabrielle's number.
[Who's this? Kung sino ka man, may gin ka ba?] Kahit masakit ang ulo ay nagawa parin nitong umirap.
"Puro alak ang nasa isip mo, this is my roaming number."
[Hindi ko tinanong kung anong klase na number 'to, ang sabi ko; sino ka?]
Pilosopa, ang sarap batuhan ng botilya.
"Si Killani 'to."
[Sinong Killani?]
"AYUSIN MO NGA ANG PAGSAGOT!" Sigaw niya, sumasakit na kasi ang ulo nito; dumagdag pa ang kaibigan.
[Si Killani ka nga, anong kailangan mo?]
"Paki-delete ng CCTV footage dito sa Sweden, Tylosand Hotel. Parking lot, around 10:34."
[Nasa Sweden ka?]
"Oo, please stop asking. Sumasakit ang ulo ko."
[May ginawa ka bang kalokohan?]
"Accidentally, now go!"
[Aba, ano ako? Aso?]
"Oo."
"Aba--" Kaagad niya nang pinatay ang tawag, napatingin siya sa pinto nung may kumatok. Nanghihina itong tumayo at binuksan iyon.
"Bakit hindi kapa nakaayos? May breakfast tayo kasama si Mr.Didrik Gustavsson, nandito siya ngayon sa Sweden." Nanlaki ang mata ni Killani.
This is an opportunity to meet her boss, but can she risk it? Baka may hihila nalang bigla sa buhok niya at sumigaw na parang banshee, babae ba ang may ari ng sasakyan na iyon? Ayaw nitong mag cat fight.
"I'm sorry pero hindi ako sasama, sumasakit kasi ang ulo ko. I'm just going to order room service." Umubo pa si Killani para maging epektibo ang akto niya, sumasakit naman talaga ang ulo nito pero tolerable naman. Ayaw niya lang talagang lumabas.
Her colleague raised her hand and touched neck.
"Hala, oo nga. Sige, ako nalang ang magsasabi sakanila. May gamot ka ba diyan? I have an extra."
A smile appeared on her face upon hearing her colleague's concern, nag-aalala talaga ito sakaniya.
"Yes, may dala ako dito. Thank you for asking."
"---wait! By the way." Killani raised her eyebrows in curiosity, she was about to close the door but her colleague stopped her.
"...you look ravishing." Her eyes literally almost popped out from its socket, she was only wearing a robe.
