20: Creepy Black Car
LATHAN
I was really sure that it was really her! Damn, I need to find her here.
I dialed someone's number...
"Yo, what's up?" Sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.
Dang, I hate asking for favor but, for her? I'll do everything...
"Check something for me" diretsang sabi ko sa kanya.
He already knew na I'm a direct person....
"What is it this time?" Tanong nito.
"She's her---" sabi ko. Naputol ang sasabihin ko ng bigla itong tumawa.
"Bruh you're an obsessed a**hole but, I'll help you this time" magagalit na sana ako dahil sa sinabi nya, ngunit napangiti nalang ako dahil sa dinugtong nito.
"Nice, update me after." Sabi ko sa kanya bago pinatay ang tawag.
I need to know what happened to her, how's her life going?, is she having a good day?
I need to know her life update.....
LUELLA
"Hoy!"
"Ay kabayo!" Sigaw na gulat ko. Ng bigla akong kalabitin ng kung sino mn sa likod.
"Hoy walang kabayo dito HAHAHA" natatawang sabi ni tinsley.
Ang saya ng g*ga. Late na nga ang mga bruha tatawa-tawa pa.
"Duh, late kayo ng 1 minute. You guys made me wait!" Inis na sabi ko sa kanila.
"Wtf? For real? It's just 1 minute!" Sabi ni yara.
"Ok stop, how do you guys doing?" Pag iiba ni khadence.
Well, actually we just meet right now. Medyo busy na rin kami sa kanya-kanya naming career in life.
"Being a business woman is not a joke, always stressed, always pagod, and more on" walang gana na sabi ko.
That's the whole truth, base on my experience as well. I don't have time na for shopping, travel, even for myself.
"How about the said engr? How's your life?" Tumingin ako kay khadence ng tanungin ko yun.
Well na surprise talaga kami ng last year na lang namin sa IT ng out of sudden she said na she would take engineering. For pete's sake?
"Why don't you call me engr. Khad?" She said that with a sarcasm. Nakangiti rin ng sabihin nya yun. Biro na yun?
"Kidding, but I've been enjoying it. Didn't you see? I was the one who build your company, wasn't I?" Nakangiting sabi neto.
Fine, tama na sya.
"So tins? How's being a fiance of a real estate CEO?" Tanong naman ni khadence.
Oww, gosh. I forgot that she's a CEO fiance. Didn't expect that tho.
"Well, I'm very lucky of having him. I have nothing to ask for more. And how about the one who's under the IT field?" Nakangiting sabi neto. Tsaka bumaling ng tingin kay yara.
She's really lucky naman talaga. Gonna wait for mine as well.
"It's fine, nag eenjoy naman sa ginagawa. Less stress na rin" nakangiti na sabi neto.
For real? Less stress? Duhhh, the last time I know, it's killing people alive.
"I missed her" wala sa sariling sabi ni tinsley.
Napatingin naman kami sa kanya dahil dun. Ang kaninang nakangiti na mga mukha namin ay napalitan ng lungkot.
We don't have any news about her. Ni hindi man lang sya nagsabi kung san sya pupunta. We've been contacting her and kuya jack, but no one respond to those call's.
We just hope that she's doing well. The time will come that we're gonna meet her again.
ZION
Tanghali na ng matapos ang klase namin. Actually I only have 1 subject this morning till 10 but my prof ask some help on his website.
Palabas na ako ng campus wherein balak ko munang pumasok sa isang cafe. I'm walking on my way to that little cozy cafe when I suddenly felt that there's someone following me. Maybe guni-guni ko lang.
I enter the cafe while handling my coffee thumbler. Dumiretso ako ng counter to other what I want.
Binigay ko sa babae na nasa counter ang thumbler ko. I order matcha latte as usual. After a few minutes of waiting, the girl hand me my thumbler. Lumabas na rin ako at naglakad papunta ng bus station.
I was in the middle of the road when I felt something odd, meron talagang sumusunod sakin. Huminto ako at tumalikod para tignan, but I only saw a black car? Argh maybe nag park lang. How delusional am I? Tsk tsk tsk....
Agad na akong pumasok sa loob ng bus, I sat beside the window's. Mas maganda ang view dito, makikita ko yung mga dumadaan.
I was sipping on my cup when I notice a black car following the bus I was on. Weird, sya rin yung car kanina. Mas naging weird pa ito dahil hindi sya nakasunod sa bus, it's beside the window I'm sitting on. It keep's on following us.
Mas lalo akong nagulat at nanindig ang balahibo ng bigla itong bumusina ng magkatapat na kami.
Wtf? It's so creepy.
Agad na akong bumaba ng makarating ang bus sa tapat ng company. Damn, how can I focus on my proposal? That jerk giving me goosebumps..
I enter the company and diretso na akong pumunta sa conference room. Bigla akong nahiya ng makita kong may iilan ng investor's and staff ang nasa loob.
Kumatok ako bago pumasok. But I was taken a back when a the CEO/President of the company shout.
"FOR F*CKING SAKE! How irresponsible you are! Are you not ashamed na kami pa ang naghintay sayo?" Sigaw neto sakin, napayuko nalang ako dahil dun "What? You want us to prepare the things you need for this f*cking proposal of yours?" Tumayo ito at malakas na pinalo ang mesa bago lumabas.
Sinundan naman ito ng mga iilang investor's na lumabas na rin.
I keep in silent even though lumabas na silang lahat.
Bwst na black car yun. Arghh.
I leave no choice kundi ang lumabas ng company building. It's 3pm now and it's still early for me to go home.
So I just decided na maglakad na lang muna pauwi, maganda rin naman na maglakad lakad dahil maganda rin ang tanawin dito. Spain is such a beautiful place, halos lahat ng sulok dito ay magaganda.
I was walking along the road side habang naka suot ng ear pod. I was enjoying the music together with beautiful scenery here in barcelona. Ng bigla nalang may humila sakin papunta sa isang sasakyan na itim?
Nagpupumiglas ako at pilit na nanlalaban sa mga humahawak sakin. Pero sadyang mas malakas talaga sila.
I leave with no choice kundi ang sumunod nalang. Nakapasok na ako sa loob ng itim na sasakyan. Nagulat ako ng bigla na lang na lock ang pinto neto at naiwan sa labas ang dalawang lalaki na humila sakin.
"How are yah? I missed you" halos lumuwa ang mata ko sa nagulat at nanindig lahat ng balahibo ko ng bigla na lang may yumakap sa likuran ko.
Damn, he's voice sounds familiar....
I can't be wrong, it's him.
He turn me around to face him, I was in shock when he suddenly meet his lip's on mine. Nanlaki ang mata ko at halos hindi makagalaw ng ma realize ang ginawa nya.
"Why did you do that?" Wala sa sariling tanong ko ng makalayo na sya.
"I just missed you" mahinang sambit nito.
I stared at him like I was studying his whole face. Wlang pinagbago sa kanya, he's still hot.
" Why prof? Why would you missed me,prof lathan?" Tanong ko sa kanya habang naka titig pa rin sa mga mata nya.
He take a deep breath before he raised his head to stared me.
