Constellation of Love Season 2 (On-going)

Chapter 55

A man is pulling his suitcase and has arrived at the airport's terminal three exit.

"Is this my formal greeting? The heat and traffic in the Philippines never seems to change forever!"

"When was the last time I was here? Since I was seven or nine years old?"

"That man is insane..." Bulong ng isang babae at narinig niya.

Tumikhim ito na at naglakad na palayo na para bang walang nangyari.

"Sasakay kayo, sir?" The driver asks.

"Yes. Take me to the Orion Castle Hotel." Ngiting tugon niya at tinulungan naman siya ng driver ilagay ang bagahe niya sa compartment.

"Right away!"

This is going to be so fun!

And there is another person carrying his belongings on his way to his new home.

"Tawagan mo na lang ako kapag may nakita pa kayo. As soon as you can, is that clear?"

"Yes, Detective."

Binaba niya na ang tawag at binuhat niya ulit ang gamit niya.

"I'm so lucky that there's a vacant room. Whether she likes it or not, lagi ko na makikita si Mirus and her stupid husband."

Tsk, anong nagustuhan ni Mirus sa lalaking iyon? Panget naman at puro kayabangan lang ang alam.

"Halatang walang taste ang ex-fiancee ko."

Nakarating na din ako sa Orion Hotel, agad akong lumapit sa reception.

"Uh, excuse me? Ako 'yung maglilipat sa room 1279, sa fifty-floor?"

"Vincentius Archen Espinoza, hindi ba? Ito po 'yung keycard niyo." Abot niya sa keycard at ngumiti ako bago ako umalis.

Papunta na ako sa elevator na may sumagi sa akin at nabitawan ko ang dala ko.

"Merda. Are you alright? Are you hurt?!"

"Y-yeah... I'm fine..."

Agad akong tinulungan ng lalaki, tinabi niya muna ang maleta niya at tumulong sa sa pagkuha ng gamit ko.

"Thanks." Binigay niya sa gamit ko.

"I apologize for being clumsy. I was looking at my phone when I ran into you."

I examine his face, he's wearing sunglasses, a white t-shirt with black pants, and his coat is slung over his shoulder.

"Ah, if you'll excuse me. I'm taking my leave."

Nauna na siyang maglakad palayo at hindi ko din namalayan na sabay kami nakasakay sa elevator.

Pinindot ko kung saan ang floor na bababaan ko at kaming dalawa lang ang nandito, tahimik.

Minutes later, the elevator dings, and I exited without speaking to the man who had hit me.

When I get to my floor, I drop my belongings and use my keycard to open the automatic door.

"Hmm? Cool. We're neighbors." I turn to my left and see him. The man who bumped me earlier.

Is it my imagination or what? Why does he appear to be so stupid?

"If you want a friend, I'm available." Ngumiti ito at tuluyan na siyang nakapasok sa kwarto niya.

Weirdo.
