Reunited With The Forgotten

9

"Yes I am, what's the matter?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.

Her eyes glittered more as I let out those words I'm sure she waited for.

"Kyaaaa!!! I'm so lucky! Thank God!" She even look up to thank God and made some winning gestures as if she really won a lottery by seeing me here.

Well this is really creepy and at the same time- hilarious. I didn't doubt that others would recognize me here but the thing is none of them got really close to me or even make me want to call the guards for any security assistance. Paunti-unti lang sila, and I'm glad they are. I think it would bring trauma again to me if ever some chaos happen here just because the crowd knew and recognize me as me.

I smiled sweetly at her. "My pleasure to meet you, kind Miss."

"Ay! Please no super duper english Ma'am. My ears are u-umm..." She snapped several times as if she's trying to remember what word she needs. "a little crack and so as my head so no english to me ma'am"

Medyo may pagka-probinsyana ang dialect nito pero I don't really mind.

"It's okay. Marunong naman akong magtagalog, eh."

She looked shocked just by hearing me speak their language. "Wow! Tagalog ka rin pala ma'am?! Akala ko dati puro ka na lang English dahil yun ang kadalasan mong isinasagot sa mga interviews mo."

Now I'm impressed! She really likes me so much to watch my interviews! It's so overwhelming!

"Salamat sa suporta!" I cheered.

"Nako! Walang ano man, Ms. Brandish! Lodi talaga kita, eh!" She gave me a thumbs up.

I chuckled before speaking. "Anyway, may small kayo nito?" Tanong ko habang ipinapakita ang hawak kong item.

She looked at it before shifting back at me. "Meron po, Ma'am. Wait lang po kayo dun sa couch. Kukuwa lang ako ng size nyo." She pointed at the luxurious looking couch at the side before getting what I asked for.

I sat at it and wander my eyes to these beautiful clothes around me. Overspending isn't really a good idea but for me if I'll spend it with clothes it would surely be worth it. Hello? That's a necessity kaya.

I was taken aback when my phone beeps. I grab it out from my purse with furrowed eyebrows.

And when I finally got it, I checked who it is just to be aware.

Mas lalong nangunot ang noo ko ng nakita ko ang caller ID. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ang nararamdaman ko dahil mas kinakain ako ng kuryosida. Kung bakit ba kasi tumatawag ang mokong na toh?

Pinindot ko ang accept at inilapit iyon sa tenga ko.

"Bakit?" I asked.

He chuckled. "I told you, didn't I?"

He sounded like he's making me remember what I don't and I actually didn't have any clue what he's talking about.

"Huh? I can't remember anything." I said. Still trying to dig into our conversation that just happen hours ago.

"You promised to call me some other time, didn't you? And I answered I'll count on that, am I right?" He said. His chuckles are still visible but I don't really mind because I'm now busy remembering something that just happen at this very day. Medjo rumurupok na ata ang ala-ala ko.

"Well anyways... Kaylangan ko nang umalis. Talk to you some other time!" I cheered and wait for him to answer before ending the call.
