Light to Her Darkness

"Yes, maam can I take your order?",nakangiti kong sambit sa babaeng nasa harap ko.

"Uhm...can I talk to your manager?", maarteng tanong nung babae. Eto nanaman po tayo.

"Sorry po maam but our manager in unavailable at the moment-"

"How unprofessional! Sabagay cheap cafè lang naman ito", sabay hablot nya sa isang basong tubig at sinaboy sa akin. I felt the cold due to the iced water. Its not like di ko pa ito nararanasan. It has been countless times already na sinabuyan ako ng isang costumer ng tubig. Sinamaan nya ako ng tingin at umalis.

Nanatili akong nakatayo. Nang makalis na  sya ay niligpit ko ang table ng costumer at pinunasan ito

"Psst.",narinig ko. Lumingon lingon ako para makita ang tumawag sa akin. It was a man, maybe the same age like me, he was dressed in a black hoodie with a mask inside.

"Eto", He reached to me a hankerchief.

"Hoy buang asan ka na!", sigaw ng isang tao sa di kalayuan. He looked at me and I smiled at him. 

"Pag ikaw Felip di bumalik dito sasakalin kita!", sigaw nanaman nung tao. I just heard him laugh and he went off to the guy.
His laugh was the most pleasant laugh I heard in my life. It was genuine. With his hankerchief on my right hand.

My tears fell. His smile was the light to my darkness but now the darkness became permanent and no light has ever been seen.
