7"Can I stay in my hotel room alone?" Sheila asked Clinton.
Ramdam niya ang pagkaubos ng enerhiya n'ya sa pagiyak kanina. Ang gusto lang niya sa ngayon ay mapag-isa at magpahinga hangga't wala pa siyang project sa Pilipinas.
The mausoleum of her parents was still the same ten years ago. Malinis din katulad nang huli niyang bisita kaya naman ramdam niya kaagad pagkapasok doon ang pangulila niya. Bumalik lahat ng kanyang naramdaman nang malamang wala na talaga ang kanyang mga magulang.
Her heart was like being squeeze. She can't breathe.
Kung hindi pa siya pinuntahan ulit ni Clinton doon hindi niya malaman ang oras. She stayed there for nine hours.
Clinton offered her food, then she remembered her last meal was the airplane meal. They arrive in the Philippines ten in the morning at deritso na sila sa magulang n'ya.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Clinton asked
"Yeah" mahina niyang sagot
She lived for years alone. Kaya na niya ang sarili. Nasa loob lang naman siya ng hotel room at walang planong mamasyal.
She just want to rest, that's all.
He sighed like he wants to insist to be with her. Niyakap siya nito. Ang isang kamay sa kanyang beywang at ang isa ay sa likod ng kanyang ulo. Hinaplos nito ang kanyang buhok.
"Let's eat dinner first. I will bring you to your hotel"
"Okay"
Dinala siya ni Clinton sa isang restaurant na katabi lang ng hotel niya. It's in Pasay. He choose a Filipino restaurant. Umupo sila sa labas ng restaurant na kaharap sa magandang Manila Bay. It's already dark kaya hindi masyadong kita and dagat.
The scenery is beautified with the lights coming from the restaurants below, car lights and also the lights from the Ferris wheel. May mga sasakyan pero hindi iyon ganun karami kaya walang traffic. She can enjoy watching the scenery while waiting for their food to be served without boredom.
Dumating ang kanilang pagkain. She ordered baked scallops and Bicol express while Clinton ordered grilled back ribs and sizzling squid.
Tahimik lang siya habang si Clinton ay inayos ang mga pagkain sa harap. He removed the shell of her scallops and then placed it on her plate.
Hindi ito kumain nang hindi siya sumubo.
She's silent the whole time. Hindi rin nagsalita si Clinton pero alagang-alaga siya. He even gave her the half of his back ribs. He wiped the smudged sauce on her lips with the tissue. Pour her a water on her glass.
Sinamahan siya nito sa hotel. Ito ang nakikipag-usap sa receptionist habang naghihintay lang siya sa likod nito. He was holding her hand while talking for her room.
When the receptionist gave Clinton the keycard for her room they started walking towards the elevator. Nakasunod ang bellboy dala ang bagahe niya.
"This will be your room, Ma'am. The King Premier room" sabi ng bellboy nang pagbuksan sila nito ng room. Inilagay nito ang room key card sa card slot sa may pituan para umandar ang aircon.
