I was helpless.
Hindi ko na alam kung saan ko pa siya pwedeng hanapin. Gulong-gulo na ako. Kulang na lang, baliktarin ko ang Hemsworth, UP, QC o ‘di kaya naman ay ‘yung iba pang lugar sa labas ng city na pwede niyang puntahan. Hindi ko na alam kung kanino pa ako magtatanong kung nasaan siya.
Fuck.
Napahiga ako sa kama ko habang ini-stalk ang social media sites ni Sid, hoping that he went online.
But I got nothing.
All his recent post was a photo of me. How could I not even notice that he’s flexing me all over his social media and I keep on doubting him? Tapos ngayong hindi nagpapakita sa’kin, tsaka ko naman hinahanap.
Ang tanga lang.
Muntik ko ng iuntog ‘yung ulo ko sa headboard ng kama ko nang tumunog ang phone ko.
Hannah: Someone wants to talk to you, punta ka sa Sunken.
Reese: Sino?
Hannah: Just go there.
I don’t know what pushes me to go there not knowing who was it. Hannah’s must better know that I don’t want wasting my time at this moment.
It was 5PM, the sun’s basically setting now which makes me calm a little and when I saw who’ll I meet today makes my heart pound faster.
“Erika?” I called. Lumingon siya.
“Reese.”
Naupo ako sa tabi ng inuupuan niya. Parehas na kami ngayon nakatingin sa nasa harap namin.
“Gusto mo raw akong makausap?” patanong kong sinabi.
“I’ll be straightforward with you,” walang emosyon niyang sinabi. “I heard you were looking for Sidney.”
Napatingin ako sa kanya. She looked back.
“You want to find him, right?” tanong niya and before I could nod nagsalita agad siya. “Then come with me.”
