there i was lyin in the sanctuary of my bed with my head laid nice and comfy on my fluffy pillow… i looked out my window to take a glimpse at the greyish clouds in sky and a second later, i remembered one event that happened to me just last summer…
despite the summer climate, the event that took place was more or less the same with the climate that we have today… i was makin my way to the municipality at our place when i went pass this rather old lady… how old? umm… she’s not old as in she had white hair, dry skin and osteoperosis.. nah… she was kind of an active lookin aging lady… petit, short brown-dyed hair, fair skin.. the lady was wearin a red shirt, one of em cycling jeans and slippers…
i wasn’t wearin glasses at that time but i was almost certain that that lady was lookin straight at me from a distance… and my instincts proved me right again! she approached me in a jolly manner sayin’ o, di na nakakakilala eh, said the old lady… and i was like huh?! with my eyes squinting and my head shakin left and right in confusion…
then she started asking, o san ka na nakatira ngayon?, in my head was sayin, i don’t even know you!!! but out of respect i answered sa bahay parin… but ofcourse i didn’t point where i lived nor did i say where.. then the lady went i used to live near your house don’t you remember?, i was startin to get pissed at this old lady but still i endured and said sensya na po di ko po talaga kita maalala eh
then she started tellin me the story bout her son… she went as follows
pupuntahan na talaga sana kita eh… hindi makakapagenrol ang anak ko… may bukol sa leeg. Cancer daw sabi ng doctor. e hindi daw kaya dito sa pagamutan kaya itatransfer sa PGH. e wala naman akong pangamot… baka may maibibigay ka sana…
hmm… that got me thinkin and it made me even more confused but despite that in my mind it ran what can i give you?! nagtatrabaho ba ako?!…so i just said oh sori po talaga at wala akong maibibigay sainyo
but still the old freakin lady was persuasive! she said, kahit ano pupwede, kahit one hundred o kaya bente pamasahe lang… now i was not about to give no hundred bucks to someone i don’t even know… but somehow, i did give her something… TWENTY PESOS… just to freakin get rid of her…
after she got out of my sight and as i made my way to my primary direction, i was still thinkin if i knew that lady or if she was ever connected to any one of my relatives… i mean, i was born here in carmona but, i didn’t grow up here… a lot of people know me as a kid but i don’t remember anyone who knew me back then… and that kind of circumstance ALWAYS happens to me… but this time, it was different i was in great doubt
later in the evening that same day, i had a talk with my aunt askin her if she knew that old lady that i met that day… she said, hmm… i don’t think she really knows you. was she wearing red?… whoa! she knew the clothes! dang… so i said yea! then she answered back how much did you give her? i said twenty pesos.. then my aunt went like oh then theres no problem then…
turns out… that old lady was actually the towns greatest fuckin scammer… so i just told myself that it didn’t lose anything anyways, whats twenty pesos… but if ever she did that to me again… she’s gonna go to and rot in jail!
