"Hey! Get back here, lady! Pay for my fruits!" I simply bit my lower lip cuz of embarrassment . It's embarrassing, it's my first time in this country and this immediately opened up to me. I could even hear the whispers of the people around and the sharp stares they were throwing at me.
"Ma'am Galvez, please stop running!"
"Fuck off!" I also shout back at them. Breathlessly I stopped and looked around where I could hide when I find a tailoring shop.
I went in there right away. I saw the owner's forehead furrow but I just signaled her not to make any noise and pointed out those mens in front of us now who were three men in black suits. Ahe seemed to get what I wanted to say and nodded weakly.
I finally went inside the cloth. There are different types of fabrics here as well as colors. Plain rolled fabrics are also oversized. There are violet, orange, black and almost all the colors you will find here.
I heard the footsteps of the shoes aproching inside where I am hiding now so I jus gasp Immediately then find a fabric that fits my body.
"Gotcha." I smiled and immediately reached for the red and thick cloth that hung on my side and I removed my hoody jacket and wrapped the red cloth around my body as if it were a tube gown when I looked at it. . I also took a small cloth that was thin enough to cover up to my nose. My eyes is only visible as if I were a woman in a korean drama.
Shit, the itch of this cloth. I complain in my mind.
I simply went out and I didn't make a mistake when I saw my driver. They look at me and seem to be examining my whole being.
I was immediately nervous so I immediately thought of a strategy to distract them.
"Hi handsome," I flirtatiously said to my driver's companion and waved in the air. It's seemed to be effective and he also waved at my behavior with a smile. I just winked at them and slowly came from the shop.
I told the owner that I would just pay her someday and I am thankful for her cooperation.
"Catch her!" I was immediately distracted.
"Sh*t! They recognized me right away! " I ran again and turned the other corner. My sweat stopped as I chased my own breath.
"Mr. Christopher, I promise I'll slaughter your grandson when I see him. You will really pay for this old man!" I complain to myself. When I regained my strength, I was ready to take off the dress I was wearing, fabric I mean. When I remembered that I had no top and only my sports bra left in my top.
I just slap lightly my own forehead. Nice one Dem, nice one.
I continue to walk when suddenly my feet stopped as I felt as if there were eyes looking at me. I immediately raised my head and I was shocked that so many people were around me and I am really in the middle! Damn it!
What is this!?
[Wow, you are beautiful young lady.]
"Wow, sei una bella signora." Huh? What this dumb are saying? I know that they're an Italian people you can really notice in their faces that it is addictive. Yeah, I admit, they have the looks but I don't give a damn.
I went back immediately.
"What do you all need from me?" I boldly asked them. They're putting me in the middle. I even saw a man lying there in front of me so my muscles secretly trembled with fear.
I-Is he dead?
[You are a beautiful lady, can I have your number?]
"Sei bella signora, posso avere il tuo numero?" I immediately turned to my side when suddenly the one who kicked his head suddenly spoke. Maybe if I were his stronghold I would bite his shiny scalp. I was ashamed of the glitter.
I ignored what the man said.
"I don't have time for this. I'm leaving." I had the courage to say that I was immediately blocked by another colleague of theirs.
I thought that when foreigner's come, their faces and attitude are okay and like angels, but I think I was wrong, for just a breath of wind on their bodies will make them fly because they are so thin.
Don't they have rice in their house?
[Where do you think you're going, beautiful lady?]
"Dove credi di essere, bella signora?"
God, sorry for this but they really reach the limit of my patience!
"What are you fighting for, huh!? You've been calling me bella before, bella there, huh? My name is Dem! It's D. E. M. Dem! Besides, don't you even know how to speak English—" I couldn't continue what I wanted to say when the man suddenly blew smoke from his cigarette right in front of my face so I immediately closed my eyes.
[Don't yell at us! Or you will die, just choose.]
"Non urlarci contro! O morirai, scegli." I had restrained myself before but I couldn't really stand the stench of his breath and immediately punched him in the face.
The eyes of his other colleagues widened because of what I did.
"I've been holding back my anger for a while now. All right, do you want a fight? I'll give it to you. Go on, who wants to be punch first?" I stepped back a little and prepared my body position as if I were a boxer.
I saw their bald leader just smile and even a fly would be ashamed to step on his head because of its sheer shine.
[Are you really sure of what you're doing Miss, huh? You might be dead after this fight.]
"Sei davvero sicura di quello che stai facendo signorina? Potresti essere morto dopo questo combattimento."
I laughed right away in no time.
"What are you talking about, huh? What are you talking about? Signorina? Who is that?" I could no longer restrain myself and I immediately kicked him in his foot. He was able to run away immediately and he aimed at my face, it was a good thing and I was able to back away immediately but he hit my chin so it bled immediately.
