(RYUJINA'S POINT OF VIEW)
I woke up when I felt the car is already Stoped. I slowly open my eyes and Im shocked when I saw the Driver was Looking at me with a Wild and Weird Grin.
What's the Problem of this Guy? Am I Sexy and Hot that make him Grin like that? I hate His Behavior. I Think he Planning something Yuck and Dirty to me, So I Sighed and Rolled my Eyes.
"So, I'm here in Tondo City right?" I butt in, to Broke this Most Akward scene here, But I Saw His face turn from weird to Serious one and My Brows Narrowed into slits when I saw that.
"Yes, you're already here now" He Said then Smiled at me again, He's so weird.
"So okey, Thank you verry Much. How much the payment?" I asked him.
"I Drive so long, so if you're other Person. you need to pay a 200 Pesos, but because you're too much beautiful, You only need to pay a 100 Pesos" He said and Smirked. that's the reason why my chicks turn Blushed.
Im right to what I've Doubted Before. he had a Bad Intention to me so before he doing it, I decided to go now.
"Okey, Take it" I said and Handed the 100 pesos of money to him. he received it but His Eyes were still Focus on me, so I rolled my Eyes at the second Time. This Guy was got me Crazy.
I Carried my Big Bag and opened the Door of this shitty Taxi but before I totally Exit, I heard Something Annoying.
"Wait, Before you go. can I ask something?" He Asked that make me Stoped for a While and Turn my Eyes on him.
"What it is?" I asked in a Serious Tone.
"May I know you're Name Miss Beautiful?" He Asked, Huh? Why he asking for my Name? This man is not Just a Weird. He's also a Crazy one. I will hate that Guy now.
"Why did you Asked?" I asked him Again.
"I dont know why but you got me feeling Crazy" He said While looking at each other. so he has a Crush on me? Okey I can say that Im a Beautiful Disaster now.
"Okey, I'm Ryujina" I Seriously Answered.
"Full name Please?" He Pleased me.
"Just Ryujina, That's enough sorry" I said.
"I wish we'll met again soon" He said and Her Grin is turn to Simple and Sweet one that makes me gazed at him for so Long.
After a Minute. I realize that this is too much Akward so I Looked Away from Him.
"I dont think so" I said and Go Away from This shitty Taxi.
I walked towards the Lamp Post and Take a Deep Breath, Because I think I losed my Oxygen in the Taxi when I saw the Dirty Presence of That Man.
But for me, I Think we have a same age or I think He's the Older than Me, I guess so, But even tho he make me Pissed Off. I can still say that He's a Handsome one but Doesn't mean that I admiring that Guy, Yucks hahaha. Calm self, dont admire that kind of Man.
"Beeeeppp! Beeeeppp!" I Suddenly shocked when I heard and saw the Taxi, I Tried to Look in That Direction for the Second Time and saw that Car were still on It Spots. Ofcourse I saw that Dirty man was Looking at my Direction Through the Glass window of His dirty Taxi.
What's the Problem of that Guy? He's really curious about my Full name Like what the Hell, Why that Guy is so Hard Headed? Okey, I Appreciated his Job but I really hate the way He talking with me Even tho we weren't Close to each other.
I saw the him make a Finger Heart Gesture Then afterwards, He Wave his Hands Before He return his Eyes on the Steering Wheel and I saw the Taxi started Functioned until it go to the Far.
I sighed and Start to Find a Place to Live. The Dela Salle University is Near from here That's why, There's a lot of Boarding House and Appartment here.
By the way, Im a 1st year College students then I Choose Bachelor of Science in Education, Major in English as my Course. Our Place in Santa Rosa Laguna have manny Universities and Colleges but 'Dela salle University' is my Dream College since Elementary, so I choose to Live Here in Manila.
I lied to my Mother Because I said that I Living here in just 1 year but the Truth is It might Took of 4 Years and Counting. But I wish someday I'll tell them about it.
Anyway, I try to Look for a Best Boarding House Right Here, But while in the Middle of searching, I found a building but Im failed when They say that There's no Any Vacant Room on There. I Have No Choice but to try to Find Again and I saw another one but when I Ask them, They say that all of their Rooms is already Occupied too, I Rolled my Eyes when The Realisation hit me That All of Buildings Here are Already Occupied. I can't Believe that Theres so Manny Students who have been Renting here in Manila.
I Suddenly Stop When My Two feets are really Tired to walk, So I go to the Vacant Chair where Placed at the side of Lamp Post. Now I realize that Walking and Looking for a Vacant Room Space is not a Joke Anymore, Because It's really make me stress and Tired at the same time.
While sitting here, I get my Cellphone from my pocket and See if There's someone Text me but I find nothing, So I Dial the Cellphone number of my Mother and try to Call her.
I've been waited and It Takes a Minutes before she answer the call.
Mother: "Hello Ryujina, my Daugther!"
Me: "Hello Mother, Im already here in Tondo City"
Mother: "Oww Really? Nice! so What's your Opinion about the Place there in Manila?"
Me: " I Think Living here is not a Big Joke. Because the Difference is This City is more Crowded and has a Bigger population Than There in Santa Rosa Laguna"
Mother: "Ofcourse Yes, so be careful there and also beware to those person who had a Bad Intention, you know that Manila is city where aside from Crowded, There's so Manny Gang, Thief and Holdaper There, so again. Be careful my Daugther"
When my Mother say that words. I remember that Guy again, The Bastard Guy who asking for my Name, I hated him Duh!
Me: "Dont worry my Mother, I'll Try to Beware those Kind of Person, As much as I can. Thank you for your Concern My Mom"
Mother: "Always welcome my Dear"
Me: "Okey, But I need to End the call, because I Need to Continue to find a Boarding to live"
Mother: "Really? you haven't find yet?"
Me: "Yes Mother, so I need to Find a Room before the end of the day and I need a Long rest, we can talk again Later"
Mother: "Okey Take care and Study well. Bye"
Me: "Thank you, Bye!"
I Press the End Call then return my Cellphone in my Pocket, I sighed again and Look to somewhere.
"Hello Beautiful Lady" It's Really Jump Scare when someone from my back is calling me and I felt That Fucking Creature was Touched my left shoulder, I Jump up and Look to that someone behind of me.
I saw the Presence of a Old woman, I think Her age is Mid 60 or 70 and She wearing a old White shirt and Long black skirt. This woman is too much Creepy.
Now, one Question is Popping in my Mind. Why this Place have manny Weird and Creepy People? Hayst, I hope not all of People here is like that Old woman and also to the Taxi Driver that I've met while ago. Because if they're same like These Two, I need to find Another city.
Until now, we looking to each other like we were having a Staring contest, So I Tried to broke the silents Between Us.
"Who are you?" I asked
"I'm Lawdya, you can call me Grandma Lawdya if you want" She said and Smiled at me, okey another person who talking with me even tho we're not Close.
"Okey, Nice to meet you Grandma Lawdya" I said and give her a Smile to make her realize that I'm not Nervous right now.
"Thank you, Anyway what's your name?" she asked. why People here is Love to Asking?
"My Name is Ryujina" I answered.
"Oh! What a Beautiful name, Nice meeting you too, Ryujina" She said.
"Anyway, I forgot something, what did you want from me?" I asked, Because Im still wondering about why this old woman was talking with me. Im sorry but I dont used to talk to Those People who I really don't Know, They look like a stranger to me and Like what my Mother said Before, This City has a People who had a Bad Intention so I need to be Careful at this time.
"I guess, you're a College student too who finding a Boarding to Live" She said, Oh, She's freaking good at Guessing Game.
"Yes, Why?" I asked.
"I know a better place to live for you" She said that makes me Smile, Okey, It Make Senes to Talk with This Old Lady.
"Really? Where?" I surely asked.
"There!" She said and Point the direction of Old and Big Building in the last part of Street using his Fingertip, Nah, This is slight far from here But I wonder why that Building is too much Old?
But a realization hit me that There's no Vacant Boarding House here so I have no choice but to swallowed my pride and don't lose the opportunity, I return my Gaze to the Old woman and look at her from Head to Toe.
"Are you sure that Building isn't Occupied yet?" I'll try to make it sure First because what if she is a Scammer?
"Ofcourse, I knew some of Tenants There, Dont worry They're a Friendly Person, I hope you will gain a Friends There" She said and Smile.
"I hope so and Thank you so much" Im Verry Thankfull to her She's a Weird base on her Dress style but the way she talking and Helping me, I can say now that She's a Good one.
"Take care, If you will gain more Friends There, Keep your Friends Close and Enemies Closer" She said that makes me Wonder, I look at her with a Confuse Look.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked
"Nothing, Just take care There" She said and start to walk to somewhere, I tried to call her name again to ask about what's she talking about Earlier. but I think she was too old to Hear me, So I decide to Looked away from her and Return my Gaze to that Old Building where Located to the last part of Street.
"I wish. My School year here is Good as Well" I said and Decided to Carried my Big Bag again and walked towards the Direction of that Old Building.
