CHAPTER 3

" What? Fifty dollars for a short ride!? " reklamo ko sa driver pagkarating namin sa labas ng Airport. This is not right!


" If you look at here, Ma'am, we just traveled ten kilometers.  " napailing ako sa sinabi niya, I can't believe may ganito parin palang mga driver. He keep his engine running while we are on slow traffic that's why!


" No, when i booked you it's only Twenty dollars. So i'm only going to pay you Twenty. Fair. " i said as i gave him Fifteen dollars.


" Miss, please, pay fair. I have three kids to feed. " at lalo akong napairap. So napadpad narin pala dito ang line na yan ha.


" I only have Twenty Dollars. " Pagsisinungaling ko. He also lied though.


" I know who your Mother is, if you're not gonna pay me Fourty dollars, i'm gonna tell that you escaped. " napalaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.


I can't believe a driver just threatened me now huh. And I can't help but to pay him full Fiftyvdollars para lang hindi niya sabihin kay Mommy. Did i just got threatened? Did he even know her name?


Malaking ngisi ang iniwan nung mamang  driver bago siya umalis. Gosh my Fifty Dollars! Argh, fool you Scarlet.


Anyways, good vibes lang dapat. I'm gonna meet my father naman so no to bad vibes. Deep breath, Scar, you're on your way.







NANG tignan ko sa monitor ng airport ay laking gulat ko nang Fifteen minutes nalang bago ang flight. I'm running late!



" Hi, yeah, i'm on that flight. " nagmamadaling sabi ko at tinuro sa monitor ang nakasulat na Rome, Italy.
Kinuha niya ang mga papel na hawak ko consist of my passport and such. I never fly alone so I'm really nervous.



" I'm sorry but your ticket is unacceptable. " Napalaki ang mata ko sa sinabi ng babae sa counter. No way.



" Would you mind checking it again, you might be mistaken. " Sabi ko while keeping the good vibes. No bad vibes, Scar.



" I already tried it several times. Your ticket is fake. " Kinuha ko ang ticket ko at tinignan.



" No. I bought this on your website. That can't be fake. " sabi ko at pinapakita sakanya ang ticket ko.



" I'm sorry to inform you that our websites are temporarily unavailable for the reason that someone hacked it. " nahampas ko ang counter sa inis. Tangina na-scam pa ako.



" Would you mind moving aside o i can accompany others, Ma'am? " umiling ako sa babae sa counter at saka pinakita ang ticket.



" Can i buy a new one, like, right now? " sabi ko at pinipilit na ngumiti. Is this a right decision? Magkukulang na ang pera ko kung bibili pa ako ng panibago.



" Of course you may, Miss. But this isn't a grocery store so you might wanna line up on the people behind you? " I hate this women. She's getting on my nerves. Kung wala lang tao dito, sinabunutan ko na 'to.
