New Home

Chapter 15: More bad luck!

I've been walking blankly. 

The streets were busy. Lots of people were walking along the sideways, taking their path on their way home. Whereas me, still looking where I can find the stable one.

"Hi, ahmm, may I know if there's still room for one?" I asked on the attendant welcoming on the front desk of the first hotel I got in.

"Sorry, ma'am. All the rooms were occupied. It's vacation season." she said wryly.

I sighed for a while. I'm tired crying, walking, finding my new and finally permanent home. I just want to get laid and sleep over this thing.

"I see. Thanks!" I smiled. I walked out from the door and I can sight her eyes over me. I mean, what do you expect she'll think once you see and talk to a teenager bringing a lot of bags and asking for a room for one. Very questioning!

I searched on the next hotel just by the next lane. 

"All rooms were taken, miss. I'm sorry." 

How good the heaven's on me! He just fulfilled my wish. More bad luck? I don't know if I can still deal with it.

I've rested my legs on a fastfood restaurant where I seek my dinner as well. If only I could take my sleep here just over this night, then it might be impossible.

Finally, I took all my guts to search again for my den for this night.

"Are you okay, miss?" a tall, dark guy asked, helping me stand up.

I'm too sleepy that's why I got bumped from the man, walking in opposite direction of me. Glad he helped me from rescuing my scattered bags on the ground. "I am, thank you! Sorry, just too tired. I haven't noticed you at all." I apologized.

He smiled at me and held my bags on my both hands. I smiled for the relief he's not mad at all. Finally, he waved goodbye. And I'm on my way for the next hotel, small hotel I stopped by after.

"We have an available room for you, miss. Are you going to take it?" the male attendant asked.

I smiled, "Ahmm, yeah. How much will it be if it's overnight?"

"Php 1,000.00 miss. Well, if it'll be for two straight days, the room's available for only Php1,750.00."

Hmm? Not that bad. Maybe I can take that amount rather. I'll need more time to fix myself from looking a good home to stay at.

"I'll have two days stay for the room." I announced at him.

I took my wallet so I can finally hand him the payment for my stay. Well, I guess, I have put it somewhere. I remembered it's just on my bag. The bag I have lost from my hold when I bumped in on that guy earlier. The bag he handed towards me. And now it's gone! What!

"Is there any problem, miss?" he inquired.

I bit my lip and totally woke up by the lost of my wallet where my stay for this hotel may secure it. "Hmm? Sorry, I guess I'm not taking the room anymore. I just received a text from my aunt, she wants me on their house instead." I just smiled at him.

He, then, returned a smile at me.

That guy took my wallet. I know he needs it, maybe? But I need it more this time!

I don't know where am I able to go anymore. I don't know where am I able to stay at this very point of time. I am so tired, I just want to rest. 

I find myself filling the one whole seat on a bus station. By my measurement, it's almost in the midst of the midnight. I took one towel from my bag and find a comfortable position on the space I found. I secured my bags for my head and on my both hands. I tried to sleep as sound as I can.

I can hear people walking and passing across me. I can even glare few stopping by at me then take their release maybe after a short second. Whenever I'm trying to look at the whole surrounding and check my bags, I'm just finding coins filling my space.

I even heard one old woman talking on the air. "Poor girl! She might be an orphan."

I guess, I have to agree with that. I'm an orphan once, twice, thrice. I never wanted to be anymore. I just wish these never happened at all.

If ever you're still listening to me, and able to rescue me from all these. Please, I just don't want bad things anymore. I, no longer want to cry or lost enough fluid in me especially now that you even let my money took by that guy.

I just hope it's a killer I encountered earlier, then, and not a thief. Atleast, I'm able to rest forever now! I can finally be with my family again! I'll be much happier with that.
