Chapter 3

Sweet Escape

I run my fingers to the pieces of equipment inside the room. It's dusty and old but hell yeah this is what I am looking for.

I walked inside the room and scanned the big mirror placed on the wall. It's clean because Lola Nini cleans it for sure. Tinignan ko ang sarili ko and by looking you can say I am okay. 

Umupo ako sa mat para buksan ang cellphone. Fifteen unread messages and five missed calls shook me and shook me more when it rings loudly. It's Miggy, I smiled a bit. Sinagot ko agad ang kaniyang tawag dahil baka magalit na naman ang isang ito kung matatagalan akong sumagot. 

"What's up?" bungad ko sa kaniya pero mukhang hindi naman siya natuwa dahil narinig ko ang pagpalatak niya sa kabilang linya. "Tsk! What's up?! What's up?! Talaga ba ha?? Kanina pa kita tinatawagan Dey! Ano ba naman yan? Mahirap bang magsabi kung saan ka pupunta?" inilayo ko naman sa tainga ko ang cellphone dahil sa lakas ng boses niya.

"Diba sabi ko sabay tayo uuwi ngayon? Bakit di mo ako hinintay? Sabi ni Akisha ay naiwan ka niya kaya hindi niya alam kung nasaan ka na!" his voice changed. I know na nagtitimpi na lang siya at ayaw na sigawan ako. "I'm home. Okay lang ako bi ano ba" sabi ko sa kaniya at binuntutan ito ng mahinang hagikgik.

"Talaga ba? Nakauwi ka na ba talaga?" he asked me using his doubtful voice. I scanned the surrounding before answering him. "Oo nga po. Nasa house na ako I am sleepy na nga e, kung makikita mo ako you will see naka close na yung eyes ko" sinundan ko ng tawa ang sagot kay Miggy.

"Siguraduhin mo lang talaga Dey. By the way, nag dinner ka na ba?" I looked at my phone and saw that it is already six in the evening. "Later pa, pag alam mo na tsaka na lang ako kakain ng hapunan." Narinig ko sa kabilang linya ang buntung hininga nya.

"Malilipasan ka niyan. I will bring you food you want? What do you like for dinner?" NO! Baka pumunta nga siya sa bahay at malaking problema iyon. I am sorry Miggy for lying but I have to make excuses.

"It's okay, busog pa naman ako. Kakakain kain ko lang din kasi kanina kaya mamaya na lang ako mag dinner." sagot ko sa kaniya "How about you? Are you home?" I asked him.

"Yeah, kanina pa I was waiting for your text message nga e pero walang dumadating. Hindi mo rin sinasagot ang mga calls ko" he said to me and I can imagined his annoyed face while saying these to me.

"I said sorry na nga! Hahahaha wag ka na magalit. Tomorrow sabay na lang tayo pumasok sa school para di ka na magalit. Ano deal ba?" I teased him and successfully I heard a slight chuckle on the other line. "Okay. Hihintayin kita sa labas ng subdivision nyo. Text me if you are done preparing and I will text din kapag nandoon na ako sa labas" I nodded at napatigil nang maalalang hindi nga pala niya ako nakikita.

"Okay, okay naintindihan ko na boss. Sleep na ako at sleep ka na din dapat. Good night" I said to him to dismiss the topic. He sighed on the other line again. "Okay, good night na. Kung magigising ka mamaya ay kumain ka ng dinner kahit kaunti ha. Kung tuloy tuloy naman ang tulog mo ay bumawi ka na lang bukas. I'll bring some" he said to me. 

"Okay bye bye na talaga sleep well and see you tomorrow!" masigla kong sabi sa kaniya. "Kulit talaga hahaha. Sige na bye na see you tomorrow" sabi nya habang tumatawa. Pagkatapos noon ay ibinaba ko naman na ang tawag. I scanned the messages and saw that sa fifteen unread messages ay hindi pala lahat galing kay Miggy.

Ten messages was from him - asking kung nasaan nga ako at kung nakauwi na. The other two was from Globe telling na malapit nang maexpire and load ko at kailangan ko nang magpaload muli. One from Akisha reminding me na naiba ang schedule ng klase namin kinabukasan.

And the last two were from an unknown number. Kumunot ang noo ko, sino naman kaya ito? Noong nakaraan ay may nagtext sa classmate ko iyon pala ay gusto lamang mambudol kaya ayun at pinag tripan na lamang nila. I opened it to read the message and mas lalong nangunot ang noo ko sa nabasa.

"Hey good evening, nakauwi ka na? This is Travis and I am sorry kung hiningi ko kay Akisha yung number mo without your permission" Travis? The second message goes like this "Hope you eat the foods that we took out, good evening again to you" without hesitation ay agaran ko na lang sinave ang numero at pinangalanan ng buo niyang pangalan ang contacts.
