My First Kiss at the Eiffel Tower: Episode 5

(Zev’s POV)

I got my baggage and searched carefully…

“Where did I put it?” I whispered to myself.

I continued searching in all pockets but nothing’s found. What the…!!!

I probably left it in the airport while I was still in Paris! Arrgghhh!!! How careless!

What would I do now? I covered my face with my two palms feeling so disappointed.

Then a taxi driver called my attention.

“Welcome to the Philippines, sir!” he greeted.

I smiled. I was thinking that if this guy will take me to the nearest hotel, I won’t got worry.

“Can you please take me to the nearest hotel?” I asked.

“Sure! No problem sir!” Then he helped me carry my baggage.

I entered inside the cab and fastened my seatbelt. The cab started running.

While on the road, I just couldn’t stop the feeling of amazement. “WOW!!!” The buildings, the vehicles, the people…and oh! Christmas was very alive here! The decorations were very colorful as they covered almost all parts of the streets!

“Sir, we are now in Makati.” Said the driver.

“Are we still far from the hotel.” I asked hesitantly.

“Yes sir!” He answered.

Now I wondered why it took so long to reach that hotel.

I checked my watch…

20 minutes had passed.

I had this strange feeling that this guy was fooling me around.

Fortunately, I saw a building from a short distance. It seemed like a school or I didn’t exactly know.

“Govern…Governor, Jzen…Jen? Jeneroso??? Governor Jeneroso Academy of Music” I read the name.

“Hey mister! You can dropped me here.” I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea but I won’t care anymore. I came here to relax, not to be hold-upped or killed or whatever.

The driver did not answer. Instead, he kept on driving.

5:30 pm.

“Alis na po ako yaya…” Nagpaaalam na ako kay yaya Abby. Pupunta na ako sa school.

“Ingat ka Cassy…saka good luck na din pala.”  Sabi nya, tapos nagpatuloy lang sya sa pagva-vacume sa sahig.

Haayy…buti pa si yaya, may nalalaman pang ganun saka di pa nawawala.

Asan na kaya si mama ngayon? Di man lang sya nagtext o tumawag. Ewan. Sabi nya pupunta raw sya sa Cavite for an important matter.

Nagbuntong hininga ako.

Then I grabbed my keys and started to drive after putting my guitar at the back seat.

♫ “Sana ngayong pasko, ay maalala mo parin ako…hinahanap-hanap pag-ibig mo…” Ehem! Practice lang while driving. Mamaya na performance ko and in fairness ha, nakakakaba pala!

“…at kahit wala ka pa nangangarap at umaasa parin ako. Muling makita ka, at makasama pa…”

Then my eyes started to become watery.

“…sa araw ng pasko…”♫

“Nakakainis ka talaga mama! Bigla ka nalang aalis kung kailan kailangan ko ang presence mo.” I whispered to myself and then my tears slowly fell on my cheeks.

Oops! I wiped it agad! Gosh yung make-up ko baka mabura! Masisira beauty ko nito. LOL! (*fake smile*)

Malapit na ako sa school…

I had a feeling of excitement. Bakit? Dahil ba makikita ko si Andrew? Uh-oh! Di kaya noh! Weeeh? Denial lang? Hahaha. Nevermind.

After a while, nandito na ako sa tapat ng school.

Bumaba ako and put on my guitar in my left shoulder with its sling.

“Hey mister! You can dropped me here.” I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea but I won’t care anymore. I came here to relax, not to be hold-upped or killed or whatever.

The driver did not answer. Instead, he kept on driving.

“I said drop me here!!!” I yelled.

“…or else I will not pay you my cab fare!” I warned.

He then stopped the cab at the side of the street. Good thing he got scared losing an amount of money. ツ

“Here…” I gave him 3 euros.

I placed my palm in my forehead. “Oh crap!” I whispered to myself, I forgot to exchange my money at the airport! Tsk!

But duhh!!! I’ll do it tomorrow…

Then I stepped out the cab, got my baggage at the back and started walking. And the cab left. But obviously now, I did not know where to go so I stopped at the corner.

(Cassy’s POV)

Papasok na sana ako sa loob ng building but then my napansin akong lalaki na nakatayo dun sa may sulok.

He looked strange ah.

Wait! I stared at him for a couple of second.

Is he a foreigner?
