Crazy wish

Prologue

GWEN went out from the building. Mismong paglabas niya ay may bumangga sa kanya at muntik pa syang masubsob. She felt so weak para magalit sa batang pulubi kaya hinayaan na niya.

She crossed the street to wait for a cab. Her shift just ended. Gustong gusto ng pumikit ng mata nya but she's trying hard to perk up dahil malayo pa ang bahay nila.

She was very grateful when she got the job but she never imagined her life to be plain work and home routine. Nasira nito ang social life nya. She doesnt even have time for herself.

Nag aabang sya ng masasakyan when the rain started pouring. Wala pa naman siyang dalang payong. Good thing a guy next to her has an umbrella. Malaki naman ang payong kaya nakisukob na rin sya.

"Pasukob po."

"Sure thing," he replied and smiled.

The guy was tall. He was wearing a blue polo and slacks. It seems like the guy was also waiting for a ride. He even look familiar but since she feels so sleepy, hindi na niya pinagkaabalahan isipin kung saan niya nakita ang lalaki.

She checked the time. It's almost midnight. Muli'y napatingin sya sa lalaking may hawak ng payong. He was so kind to let her share with his umbrella. He also looked hot. His kind was her type but she tried to deny the thought.

He's probably taken but I wish I have a boyfriend like him she thought. Then a small white feather like flower suddenly fell. She tried to catch the flower and closed her eyes for a wish to be granted. She wished this guy will be in her circle and eventually will be her prince. That's when she realized na ang lalaki sa tabi nya ay pinapanood ang kilos nya. Siguro iniisip na nitong nababaliw sya. But he even look so amused kaya pinagwalang bahala na lang nya.

SHE checked her phone in case her mom called or texted her but she couldnt find it in her bag. Did she forget it in the office? Most likely since she kept forgetting stuffs. Pero saglit niyang tinignan ang bag niya at nakita nyang may laslas na iyon. She now fished for her purse pero wala na rin iyon. She panicked. Nadukutan sya!

Muliy napasulyap sya sa gwapong may hawak ng payong. Tinging nanunukat ang binigay niya dito.

How can a gorgeous and hot looking guy like you be a thief!

"Excuse me, Mister," anyang kinuha ang atensyon ng lalaki.

Napalingon sa kanya ang lalaki. Nasa mukha nito ang pagtataka.

On the second thought, baka hindi sya yun!

Mas nagpanic sya nang akmang aalis na ang lalaki.

"W-wait!" pigil ni Gwen sa braso ng lalaki.

Parehong ekspresyon ang ibinigay sa kanya ng lalaki.

"Will you stop pretending like you don't know what I'm talking about if you don't want me to make a scene." she whispered.

"What do you suppose to mean?"

Abat inglesero pa! Baka kapit patalim talaga.

"Kung nangangailangan ka, hindi mo naman kailangan gawin yun. Just give it back. Bibigyan na lang kita. I could help you find a decent job."

Hinila ng lalaki ang braso nito. "Miss, are you out of your mind? Dadalhin na ba kita sa ospital? If you don't mind, nagmamadali kasi ako e. "

Sinusubukan mo talaga ako ah. "For Pete's sake! Ibalik mo na kasi. I want to leave as much as you do. Pagod na kaya ako." muli'y bulong niya.

"Wala akong kinukuha sayo. Hindi mo ba alam na masama ang magbintang?"

"Gwapo ka pa naman... Tsktsk. Ibalik mo na. Hindi kita isusumbong. I just want to get home. Please." pagsusumamo niya.

"You're unbelievable. Ganyan na ba ngayon ang modus? You are really getting to my nerves. Magkano ba ang pamasahe mo ha?" iritadong sabi ng lalaki. Naglabas ito ng 500 pesos mula sa makapal nitong wallet at nilagay sa kamay niya. "I think you got the wrong guy. I'm not the culprit. Wag ka kasing tatanga tanga next time."

Aba't ang hambog nito! Pinaghahampas niya ng bag niya ang lalaki.

"Stop! Stop it!"

Pinigilan siya ng lalaki pero patuloy pa rin sya sa paghahampas.

"You're making a scene!"

Pinagtitinginan na sila ng mga tao. Nakakahiya pero she has to get even. Maaring nagkamali nga sya pero sapat ba yun para sabihan sya ng tatanga tanga?

"Pagkatapos may mangyari satin! Iiwan mo na lang ako ng basta?! Buntis ako."

"W-what?! I dont even know you."

She slapped him and left. Muli ay tumawid sya. Sakto naman na pagkatawid nya ay nag GO na ang signal for the vehicles kaya hindi na sya nahabol ng lalaki.
