And then she rolled her eyes, "Who else? Edi, ikaw. Your family is rich."
At ako naman yung umirap ngayon. "There's a difference between me and them. Sila lang yung mayaman, not me."
"Tse! Basta, mayaman ka! Nagmomodel ka nga rin e.."
"Part time lang yon. Ano ka ba."
"Part time nga pero they pay you big money.." She says and I really can't believe Erica. Kuripot pa rin as always.
I sigh and decided to pay nalang. Because alam kong pipilitin niya talagang pabayarin ako. "Sige na nga. Kuripot mo talaga.."
I reached for my bag on my back and when I try to open the small pocket ng bag ko to get my wallet, I saw it opened already and lumaki ang mata ko nang hindi ko makita wallet ko doon sa loob.
"Hala, yung wallet ko" Kabado kong salita when I really couldn't find my wallet. Oh my Gosh, nakabukas pa naman yung bag ko. Shit.
"Bakit? Nawala?" Asked Erica and I nodded my head habang inopen ko rin yung malaking pocket ng bag ko at hinanap ang wallet ko sa loob.
Kinuha ko naman yung mga laman ng bag ko at wala talaga yung wallet ko sa loob.
"Huy, yung wallet ko, nawawala." I said in a worried tone and kinapa ko yung bulsa ng jeans ko pero wala akong maramdamang wallet.
"Baka your left it sa bahay niyo?" she says and I shook my head, "No. I was the one who paid for Ate's things pa nga kanina nung nasa mall kami."
"Where did you put your wallet ba?"
"Sa bag ko nga. Sa small pocket dito" I said pointing to the pocket of my bag "....tapos this pocket was opened already."
"What?! Baka someone took it or maybe you forgot it to close tapos nalaglag?" She says and hindi ko alam kung ano yung isasagot ko.
"I don't know. I hope nalaglag lang. Nandoon yung dalawang ATM ko" I whined "...wait I'll look for it. Titignan ko sa mga dinaanan ko" I added.
"Samahan na kita.." Sabi naman niya at tumango ako.
We went back to the places na dinaanan ko kanina pero hindi talaga namin nakita ni Erica yung wallet ko.
"Baka sa mall nalaglag or kaya sa car ng Ate mo? You text her kaya and ask her na to check her car."
Tumango naman ako sa sinabi niya at tinawagan si Ate. After a couple of rings, she answered it.
"Yes, Eva?"
"Ate, my wallet was lost and can you check your car if baka I left it there or baka nahulog sa loob?" Sabi ko sa kanya.
"What? Sige, okay, I'll go check it, wait lang." I heard her says and naghintay ako sa kanya.
And then mayamaya, sabi ni Ate na wala rin daw siyang nakita sa car niya.
"Oh my God. Sige, ate, hahanapin ko na lang muna dito sa campus. I'll text you later." Sabi ko.
"Okay sige, bye"
