"What did I told you, Lea Amalia?" My brows rose up while looking at her which made her pouted.



Hinintay ko siyang sumagot sa tanong ko. I don't know how to react right infront of her. I know, hindi niya sinasadiya.




"Don't talk or even interact to someone who's not familiar with you." She bowed her head and slightly playing her fingers.



Napatingin na ako sa direksyong pinanggalingan niya. Sinubukan kong tanawin ang direksyon sa abot ng makakayang makita ng mata ko, pero wala lang din akong napala.




"Then why you didn't listen? You just talk someone a while ago! Paano kung masamang tao 'yon?!" I exclaimed nang maibalik ko na ang tingin ko kay Lea na nakayuko pa rin.




Her head lifted up "He's not bad, Ate. He's kind and familiar!"



My brows furrowed of what she just said. A familiar, huh?



"How sure are you that he's kind? And a familiar person? Do you even saw him somewhere?" I asked her curiously.




She nodded. "This is not the first time seeing him, Ate. Kuya Ri is really familiar, as in! To the point that even you, you'll recognize him!"



Napatigil ako at pinoproseso ang sinabi ng kapatid ko. I looked at the direction again kung saan nanggaling si Lea, nagbabakasakaling may makitang taong kahina-hinala pero wala pa rin akong makita o mapansin.



"Then where he is? I should see his face just to make myself sure that he's not bad!" Tumingin ako sa puwesto ng magulang ko na tinitingnan rin ang direksiyong pinakatitigan ko.



"I'll just do something. Babalik ako," paalam ni daddy at hindi na niya hinintay pa ang sagot namin.



"Mom! Lea getting older but also stubborn na. She didn't even listen to me now. She's literally disobeyed me!" Pagsumbong ko kay mommy which made Lea's lips pouted again.




"I didn't intended to disobey your rules, Ate. I'm sorry, please? But I swear!" She raise her right hand. "Kuya Ri is very familiar. I even remembered that I once saw him in our house!"




My lips parted as I heard what she just said. Now I'm thinking to someone who could possibly he was. A blurry face even popped out in my mind pero itinanggi ko 'yon dahil alam kong imposible ang iniisip ko.



Lumuhod si mommy upang magpantay sila. I tried again to looked at every corner of the mall na nasasakop ng paningin ko but I just shrugged and took a deep breath, losing hope that I might never see the guy that Lea been talking about.




"Can you describe the man?" Mom asked softly.




Lea looked up as if inaalala niya ang itsura ng lalaking nakausap niya kanina so I waited her to answer.




"He's tall, Mom! And he's handsome, ahm ano pa ba?" Nag-isip pa ulit siya. "Ay may naalala ako! Kuya Ri even told me that it was nice seeing you happy!"



I gasped and looked around again bago muling bumaling kay Lea. Posible bang ang taong tinutukoy niya ay ang taong iniisip ko ngayon?



"Aside of that? May naalala ka pa ba?" Nagtanong ulit si mommy.




Lea just shook her head. I sighed before looking at the direction kung saan nakita ko si daddy na papalapit na.



"Saan ka nangggaling? May inasikaso ka ba?" Nagtatakang tanong ni mommy but my dad just shrugged his shoulder. I even saw how they changed a gaze to each other as if na sa pamamagitan 'yon, magkaintindihan sila.
