Erica is at home, cleaning her room. Ngayon na lang siya nakapag general cleaning ng kwarto niya, dahil nung may pasok pa sa school ay hindi niya magawa ang maglinis ng kwarto.
But, she is kind of anxious, and was worried. Ilang araw nang walang paramdam si Richmond sa kanya. Ni text, ni tawag, ni message sa Messenger, wala. Indeed she is worried. Huling message pa ni Richmond ay yung time na kasama niya sina Lauren at Kiko sa Quezon Beach.
Erica stopped awhile, and checked her phone.
"Nakakainis naman itong si Richmond, hindi man lang nagmemessage! Bakit kaya?" Erica said, scratching her head. "What's on his mind? Bakit hindi siya nagtetext sa akin? Pag nagchachat ako sa FB, hindi naman nagrereply, online naman siya! O baka naman, naiwang nyang nakalog in ang FB niya. Siguro."
And she resumed her cleaning.
Not until 1:17 in the afternoon, Erica received a message from Richmond.
"Erica, let's meet at the Capitol District Park. I have to say something to you." Richmond said thru Messenger.
"Finally, nagparamdam ka din! Nagaalala ako sayo." Erica replied. Nagbihis agad si Erica at dali-daling nagdrive papuntang Capitol District Park.
Erica called Richmond on the phone.
"Hello, sweetie?" Richmond said.
"Richmond, honey, papunta na ako dyan. Wait for me." Erica said.
Richmond was waiting for Erica near the statue on Capitol District Park.
"Sure honey, magaantay ako. Take care." Richmond replied.
"See you later. :*" Erica said.
And after thirty-six minutes, Erica has arrived at the meeting place. Richmond saw Erica, and Erica hugged her.
"Richmond, nagaalala ako. Ilang araw kang hindi nag chachat or tumatawag sa akin." Erica said, and as soon as she hugged Richmond, Erica cried.
Erica's worries are now over, dahil nakita niya na at nakausap niya na ang kanyang sinisinta.
"Honey, I'm sorry kung di ako nakakapagchat ni nakakatawag. I and dad went to Madrid at kahapon lang kami nakarating. I'm so sorry, naging biglaan ang trip namin." Richmond said.
"Hindi ka man lang nakapagpaalam sa akin! Nakakainis ka!" Erica cried.
"Erica, honey, I'm so sorry!" Richmond said. "Come on, let's drink it out with a cup of coffee."
At the coffee shop, Erica and Richmond sat near the window. Erica ordered a hibiscus tea whilst Richmond went for a strong espresso.
"Honey, I'm so sorry for what happened. My dad and I took a business trip. Hindi din ako nakapaghanda at hindi kita napuntahan para magpaalam." Richmond said.
"Hon, next time, please, magpaalam ka hanggat maari, para di ako nagaaalala." Erica said.
"Erica, sorry talaga. I promise, hindi ko na uulitin." Richmond said. "I swear."
"Ano nga palang sasabihin mo?" Erica asked.
"Honey, magpapaalam ako ulit. Three days ako sa Tanza, kasama ko lang ang pamilya. May honouring day lang para sa lolo ko." Richmond said.
"Pwede ba akong sumama? Family naman siguro yan, at okay lang na nanduon ako." Erica replied.
"Ipagpapaalam ko kay mum. Baka kasi private gathering siya. I dunno." Richmond replied.
"Sana makasama ako. Kailan kayo aalis?" Erica asked.
"Tomorrow morning, hon." Richmond replied.
