Look Who I Bumped Into Novels & Stories

I hope not. But i guess fate won't let me rest just yet. Bago ako umuwi sa bahay, pumunta muna ako sa dati kong tambayan. Ang park na malapit sa subdivision namin, and i saw someone unexpected at my usual place. She was crying helplessly, and as our eyes met she looked like she was waiting for comfort to come to her. "Wow, haven't seen you in a while." Sabi ko sa kanya. She wiped her own tears. "...Ruben." i heard her whisper my name.

I lied, gusto ko lang talaga siya makita. "Hindi ka naman mukhang pasyente kasi hindi ka naman naka patient gown. Hindi ka rin naman mukhang doktor kasi wala ka rin namang doctor's gown." Then, I remembered my meeting with Addison. I chuckled, "I'm just a bystander. Don't mind me. Pumunta lang ako rito para kumustahin at bisitahin ka." "How do you know me? Hindi naman kita kilala." Kita ko ang pagtataka sa kanyang mukha.Nakapamulsa ako at lumakad sa may bintana at doon tumayo.

I swallowed and clenched my fists tightly so I can somehow ease the quiver. My wobbling legs are taking steps slowly that I can almost perceive the impatience on Ms. Fuentes' face. I flinched a bit when she cleared her throat and it made me move a little faster than earlier. I was getting near in front. I was almost close to it. It's just a few more walk but then- I tripped. "Oh shit-" a guy exclaimed. I fell flat on my face. Snickers immediately filled my ears. "Witwiw," I shivered when I heard another guy whistled.

It took another moment of silence until I decided to break the deafening silence. “Galit ka ba?” tanong ko sa mahinang boses. Wala akong sagot na nakuha sa kaniya. Nanatili lang siya sa kaniyang posisyon nang hindi nagsasalita. “Naggo-grocery lang ako kanina. Tapos bigla akong nahilo nang nasa pila na ako sa cashier. Someone helped me, and surprisingly, it was Bryant, Red’s bandmate--”

Hindi na rin nahihiya sa akin si Ronald, napagkukuwentuhan pa namin ang tungkol sa kaibigan kong si Amelia. Bitbit ko ang shopping bag kasama si Ronald palabas ng mall nang mabangga ako ng isang matangkad na babae. Nagsilaglagan ang mga dala ko. "I'm sorry…" a soft voice came from the woman who accidentally bumped into me. "It’s okay," sabi ko. Hindi ako umangat ng tingin sa kanya. Tinulungan niya akong pulutin ang dala ko. "Here." Abot niya sa isang paper bag.

"Pumunta kasi siya sa mall kanina para maghanap ng masusuot para ngayon. I think he will be like a guest or something? I don't know. Basta ang sabi niya, people are shouting and running after him. Aminado naman akong gwapo talaga kasi ang kapatid nitong babe ko kaya hindi na nakakapagtaka kung marami ang naghahabol sa kanya. As I was saying, he run because he don't want to be chased by so many people but surprisingly, something happened. He was bumped into someone and an accidental kissed happened." *HUK* "Hey, are you okay?" A bit of worried plastered in ate Bella's face. "Y-yeah!" I answered shortly. As I reminisce what kuya Carl just told us a while ago, my eyes became widen as realizatio

Who is she talking to? It's impossible if it's my Bree, because she's already six feet underground and has been long gone for five years. Damn it. Get a grip, Morris! "I know, don't worry. Ano ka ba…" Umikot siya pabalik sa puwesto ko at nabigla siya dahil nandito pa ako sa gilid niya. Tumaas bahagya ang kilay niya sa akin. "You know, Bree. I met this person while visiting the cemetery days ago. And guess what?" Her eyes twinkle with a tease as she looks at me.

Sinubukan niya ang kaniyang best para maka-idlip ng palusot at iyon lang ang kaniyang kinaya. Mabuti na lang din naman at mukhang napaniwala si Bonny. "Sige, Miss. Ipadadala ko bukas na bukas din,' anito at tila ba nabunutan ng tinik sa lalamunan si Almirah dahil hindi na ito nagtanong pa. Kung sakaling magtatanong man ito, baka hindi na rin naman niya alam kung paano pa ito sasagutin. She was still pushing her cart when she bumped into a familiar face. Her heart immediately raced at the sight. Hindi siya magkamali dahil malinaw na malinaw niyang nakikita ang mga mata nitong nakatingin din sa kaniyang gawi.

I need to find help! As soon as I turned left, I was harshly bumped into someone, and the next thing I knew, a big man carried me on his shoulder, and all went black. Napabalikwas ako ng bangon, nagising akong basang-basa ng pawis at nanginginig ang kamay. Sinuklay ko ang buhok ko ng kaliwang kamay at yumuko.
