[Halley]

I've been lurking around the mall, looking for my friends pero sumasakit na ata't lahat-lahat ang paa ko but I still couldn't find them. Argh! Where are they na ba?

I fished out my phone on my bag and look at it if one of them sent a message na or what, but I see none. None! I frown. My poor feet is aching now, damn it!

I sighed and decided to just sit at one of the benches near me.

“Good morning, Miss Halley,” I just smiled at the staffs who greets me everytime they passed by me.

“Miss, do you need anything?” Napatingin ako sa nagtanong at bahagya lang umiling.

“No, I'm just waiting for my friends. Do you perhaps saw them?”

Mukha namang napaisip siya sa tanong. I mean, they probably saw one of them here. Bakit nga ba hindi ko naisip na magtanong kanina? Tsk. I'm such stupid sometimes.

“Sa tingin ko po nakita ko si Miss Phariz na dumaan dito kanina. Papunta po atang office?” aniya kaya naman napatango ako.

“Okay, thanks,” I said while smiling. Ngumiti lang siya saka nag-excuse na babalik na sa trabaho since wala naman na akong kailangan sa kaniya.

I sighed and facepalmed mentally. Why did I forget about the office here? Tsk. I should have known better na they will probably go straight there since it was usually our tambayan here.

I stood up and starts walking. There are a lot of people who keeps on greeting me kaya nginingitian ko na lang sila. I can't be snob, magagalit na naman si Mommy sakin kapag nagmaldita ako sa mga tao. Plus, it's not really me kapag nagmaldita. Sometimes lang naman, if I'm not in the mood.

Napahinto ako sa paglalakad ng marinig ko 'yong sigawan sa di kalayuan. I look everywhere to see where is that coming from. Nagtatakang tinignan ko iyong mga taong nagkakagulo. What is that commotion over there? May artista ba or event? Kinuha ko iyong phone ko to see the schedules of events in this mall and saw nothing naman na naka schedule for today. So, what's with that commotion?

“Hey, excuse me, may I ask what's with the commotion over there?” I asked one of the shoppers who was about to leave.

“Ah, iyon ba? Hindi din kami sure pero may nag-aaway ata na dalawang lalaki?” aniya

My forehead creased. There's someone fighting inside my mall? Inside my mall?!

I said my thanks and walk straight ahead of the commotion. May ibang mga tumabi to give way for me kaya madali akong nakalapit at nakita ang nangyayari.

And gaya ng sabi ng napagtanungan ko, I saw two men fighting the fuck out of them like as if they're not in public! This is horrible!

“Stop it, you two!” I shouted that made everyone fell in their silence but the two didn't stop from fighting.

Argh! Men are so so complicated!

My brow rose up when I saw a woman staring at the two guys. She's like enjoying the show.

“Where are the guards?! Can you both just stop fighting?! Oh my god! This is insane!” naiinis na sigaw ko.

I saw some guards came running to our direction after mentioning them. They're trying na paghiwalayin 'yong dalawang guy na nag-aaway and thank God! They succeeded!

I glared at both of them.

“What the hell is wrong with you two?!” inis na tanong ko sa kanila.

I look both of them. The other guy was severely hurt samantalang 'yong isa, I think may cut lang sa bandang lips niya. Is he the one initiated the fight?

Wait! He looks familiar! Have I met him before? He really looks familiar. Where did I even see him?

“So, no one's gonna answer me?! And why are you all just watching them fight?! Ni wala man lang sa inyong pumigil?! Are you all serious?!”

Nagpumiglas sa hawak iyong guy na wala gaanong sugat. I thought he's going to say something but he just look at me. Damn it! I know him now! He is that basagulero guy from the other school! What's his name again?

Akala ko may sasabihin siya pero bigla na lang siyang naglakad paalis. What the?!

“Ya!!” I called him but he acted like he didn't hear me.

Frustrated na binalikan ko ng tingin 'yong guy na naiwan. He is now being taken care of by the girl na nakita ko kanina. Wait... If I'm thinking this right. This girl was probably the reason why those two fought.

“You wanted this fight, didn't you?” I asked.

Napatingin naman sakin 'yong dalawa. They're both confused at my question.

“You...” I pointed my finger at the girl. “You wanted this fight to happen. You made them fought over...you?” Kunot-noong tanong ko. Hindi makapaniwala na nagawa niyang pag-awayin ang dalawang tao para lang sa kanya?

“What are you saying?”

Napairap ako saka bahagyang natawa. I shook my head and look at the guards.

“Ban them here,” I told them and starts walking away from them.

Mga nakakasira ng araw! They just made a mess inside my mall! And do they think I will still allow them lurk around here?! No way! They will be banned here forever!

I'm still pissed even when I reached the office here. “You look... stressed?” I rolled my eyes upon hearing Phariz's question when I got in.

Who wouldn't be stressed when you just encountered a freaking fight?! Dumiretso ako sa kitchenette to get some juice and drink it. Damn, I think I have to secure my mall even more. Tsk.
