Chapter Six

CONVOY

Umupo ako sa isang sofa at dumampot ng isang slice ng pizza na dala ni Rina.

"May good news at may bad news ako" she said while eating her pizza too

"Anong gusto mong Mauna?" she added

"Yung good news muna!" I said and drink the milktea that she brought.

"may baril na ako!" She giggled she's a police, pagka graduate nya ay may license na agad sya pero wala pa syang baril hindi nya afford bumili ng sarili n'yang baril.

"ill teach you if you're willing"at inilabas nya yung baril nya kaya agad akong kinabahan do'n.

"'wag kang kabahan agad hindi naka kasa 'to" she laugh

"May license na yan?" i asked

"Ofcourse! sobra nga akong na excite na i try to sa tao" she said and then Burts into evil laugh.

"Dehado ka nyan pag ginawa mo 'yan" I said.

"Syempre hindi no! Nag bibiro lang ako bobo Naman nito,masyadong serious!" She laugh.

"Bakit mo nga pala dala yang baril mo?" i asked

Naka simpleng damit lang kasi sya mukang 'di sya duty ngayon.

"pwede naman namin to'ng dalhin kahit saan in case of emergency na lang rin" she said ang eat up again.

"Ah" tumango tango ako at sinubukang hawakan yung baril nya pero agad ko ring ibinaba dahil mabigat.

"mabigat pala ito" I said

"Hindi ah, hindi 'yan mabigat di ka lang sanay" she said and put her gun in her shoulder bag.

"Oh ano nga pala yung bad news?" I asked her and sipped at my milktea.

"Nothing, gusto ko lang p-pumunta dito" she said and drink her coke in can.

"totoo?" I raised my eyebrow at her

"Ano kasi" bumuntong hininga sya "nalugi yung company namin" she said

"Company?" I asked "diba you said that-" she cut me off

"Company?! a-ah nagkamali lang ako nalugi kasi yung maliit naming business" sabi nya at tumawa sya ng alanganin

I smell something fishy.

Napatango-tango na lang ako kahit hindi ako kumbinsido sa sinasabi nya parang may itinatago sya sa'kin, saamin.

Nagkwentuhan pa kami sandali pero may biglang tumawag sa kan'ya.

"may emergency lang" she said

"Hatid na kita?" I suggest

"huwag na!dala ko ang motor ko" kinuha nya ang shoulder bag nya at isinuot ang leather jacket nya.

"Ang helmet mo?suotin mo!" paalala ko sa kan'ya

"Yes ma'am! nasa motor ko" she said and salute at me while laughing

"Sige na take care"

Nag flying kiss pa sya lumabas na sa pinto ng opisina.

i look at my cellphone and then my eyes winded after that.

Did i just accidentally liked Lucas's photo?

Wtf? It's legit na like ko nga pinitik ko Ang sariling noo dahil sa katangahan.

Wala na di ko na to babawiin na like ko na e alangan namang i unlike ko mas nahalata pa ako.

After work i decided to go home.

"Hey everyone i'm home!" I shouted and put my shoes on our shoe rack.

Bumaba si mom at binati ako,maging si dad at si yaya din ay binati ako dahil minsan na lang ako umuwi dito medyo malayo kasi 'to from my workplace siguro isang beses sa isang linggo na lang ako umuuwi,actually minsan umuuwi ako tuwing friday para ma enjoy ko ang weekends ko with my family.

After we eat dinner i said that i will going to wash plates but yaya mely didn't allow me.

"Magpahinga ka na anak may trabaho ka pa ata bukas"

So i went to my room instead i opened my veranda and look in the clear sky kitang kita 'yong mga bituin.

enjoying the night sky i took a picture out there ang ganda kaya ng view.

"Anak gatas ka muna" my mom entered at the veranda

"Thanks mom"

I drink it and then mommy suddenly asked.

"Anak kailan ba ako magkakaapo sa'yo?" Biglang tanong ni mom sa'kin habang naimon pa din ako ng gatas

"What kind of question is that,mom?" I asked

"I was just asking anak" Mom said

"I don't even have a boyfriend and you're expecting me to give you a grandchild?" I laugh

"That's the point,Anianette you're 25 years old now and you don't have a boyfriend until now" my mom raised her one eyebrow.

"I don't have a time for that mom magpapayaman pa muna ako bago mag asawa" i said

"Pero may gusto na'ko mom i'm not sure If he likes me too" I said and started to think about Lucas again.

"Who's that lucky guy?" Tanong ni mom at pinisil ang tagiliran ko.

"Soon na mom baka mai kwento ko pa sayo ang maling Tao at tsaka ko na sasabihin sa inyo pag sure na" I said and laugh.

"Sige ah sa'kin ah, sige na anak aalis na ako pahinga ka na may trabaho ka pa bukas" mom said and set my alarm clock and get the glass from me.

Tumango ako sa kan'ya at ngumiti. "Thanks mom"

But i didn't saw Lucas's name i'm kinda disappointed.

I decided to stalk him again may latest myday din sya.

I tap it and view his myday it's a boomerang nakatapat Ito sa tasa na may tsaa at maya-maya ay itinapat n'ya ang camera sa mga taong dumaraan sa labas ng coffee shop.

i saw the caption too "tea ft. peaceful night"

Parang nainggit ako.

Nag reply ako sa story nya.

itzanianette_c: I want to go there too saan iyan?

After a second he seen my reply to his story.

lucasleviste: it's just here at moonlight café just two blocks away from our workplace.

itzanianette_c: ah thanks anyways goodnight :)

I waited for him to reply.

lucasleviste: night.

Isinara ko Ang veranda ko at tinakpan gamit ang makapal na kurtina nag toothbrush ulit ako at nag hilamos Ng muka bago matulog.

Saturday morning, pinatay ko ang alarm clock five in the morning i went to the bathroom and wash my face nag toothbrush na rin ako, hindi ako makakapag work out sa gym ngayon dahil malayo nga itong bahay namin sa Bulacan pa kasi itong subdivision namin.

Bumaba ako ng hagdan at nakita ko si yaya na nagluluto na ngayon kaagad s'yang tumingin sa'kin at ngumiti i smiled at her too

"Saan ka pupunta Ania?" yaya asked while still cooking food

"D'yan lang po ya, mag j-jogging lang ako dito sa subdivision natin" I said

Lumapit ako sa niluluto nya she's cooking friend rice now i looked at the table i saw hotdogs,bacons and eggs.

"Ang bango naman n'yan ya!" I pout and and drink a glass of water

Yaya laugh at me" Sige na ya babalik ako mamaya titikman ko 'yang luto mo"

I wear a black jogging pants,pink sports bra and sneakers.

I look around halos patay pa lahat ng ilaw ng kapitbahay pero may mga street lights and strict din naman yung subdivision namin kaya no worries.

Nag warm up ako saglit at nag simula nang mag jogging I put my headphones on my ears para ma enjoy ko mag jogging mag-isa.

May mga nakakasalubong rin akong nga nag jo-jogging pero di ko sila kilala ayoko namang maging feeling close.

Napa taas ang kilay ko ng may makita akong pamilyar na muka,

Nakikipag nag jo-jogging rin ito naka blue jogging pants,white sando and a sport shoes may naka pasak din na headset sa isa n'yang tainga.

Inalis ko ang headphones ko at inilagay sa leeg ko lumapit ako sa kan'ya nag wa-warm up s'ya ngayon.

He's Jeremy, I heard his name last time,
