Ride Of Love (Dream #1)

Chapter 4

"Aray! Nagbibiro lang eh." Nakangusong angal niya ng malakas ko siyang hampasin .

So he was just joking?! What a merciless person. He made me a little bit sad knowing that he was just kidding around when he said that.

Hindi ko siya pinansin kahit na tinatawag niya ako at naglakad nalang papalapit sa motor niya.

"Uyy, galit ka na niyan?" Hindi ko parin siya pinansin habang nagsusuot ng helmet.

"Nagbibiro lang naman ako eh." Mas lalo akong nainis sa sinabi niya kaya tinignan ko siya ng masama.

He took a step back when he saw me glaring at him.

"Move faster! We still have to meet your friend right?!" I annoyingly yelled at him so he moved fast and got ready so we could go.

My eyebrows furrowed in confusion when I saw the building infront of us. We're at an hospital.

I gave him a look asking what are we doing here but he just smiled at me and start walking.

When we arrived at room 107, he opened the door. I saw a cute little boy sitting on the hospital bed with a lady on his side. I think his 8-9 years old.

"Hey dude!!" The boy shout in excitement when he saw Gibson.

Gibson smiled and approached the boy. Nag-high five sila at may ibinulong siya dito kaya napatingin ang bata sa akin.

"So it's you..." The boy said and that made me confused. Ano na naman kayang kalokohan ang pinagsasabi ng lalaking ito.

"What do you mean?" I can't stop myself from asking.

Truth is, I thought we are going to meet a guy in our age when he said friend. I never thought that it was a child. 

The boy was wearing a bonie on his head. He look sick but I admire him because he still has a positive energy around him.

"Wag kang maingay." Sita ni Gibson dito.

"Andito ka na pala, Gibo." The lady who just arrived caught my attention when I heard that familiar nickname again. Mukhang kaedad lang sila ng mommy ko.

So everyone's calling him Gibo, huh?

Gibson didn't look at the lady and just smiled at the child. I noticed that it doesn't reach his eyes, I can't help but be curious.

"Ah oo, tutuparin ko 'yong pinangako ko kay kyle." Nabigla ako dahil hindi man lang siya gumamit ng salitang paggalang.

What's wrong? I asked in my mind feeling a bit worried. This is not like him.

I know him as a person full of respect and that's the reason why I admire him. Even though he is just a jeepney konduktor he doesn't let it bother him.

And as the day past by, unti-unti ko ring nakikilala ang totoong siya sa pagsakay ko sa jeepney na 'yon tuwing hapon.

"Talaga dude?! Lalabas tayo ngayon?!" I snapped from my thoughts when I heared the boy's excitement.

"Oo diba gusto mong mamasyal? Tapos mag-arcade?" The boy jumped in joy and answered Gibson with a big yes.

"Mom, you will let me right?" The boy asked the lady full of hope so the lady bow a little bit to match the boy's height.

When she did that I saw the pain in Gibson's eyes before he look away.

"Ofcourse baby, but promise me to behave okay?" The lady smiled and fix the boy's bonie before standing up. She faced Gibson and they nod at each other.
