EPISODE 1
*******************
The rays of light from the sun found its way to
my room;brightening the gloomy house. My
alarm wasn’t an exception, it also cried to the
tone of the rising sun.
I rolled frome one edge of the bed to the
other, finally waking lazily. I got up from the
bed, still on my nighties, by my nighties, i
mean creamed coloured pyjamas.
I located the bathroom, brushed my teeth and
washed my face. Then went the the living
room. Everywhere was still as untidy as it was
last night, what was i expecting? That angels
would tidy my room? No way!!! I don’t even
believe in them.
Ooops sorry i forgot to introduce my self! Am
Isaiah, Isaiah Guidotti from a family of four,
dad is the mayor of cebu and mum, a business
woman. I have only one sibling, my pearl,
Isabella. I was born 27years ago. I spent all
my life in cebu city, actually, its only
yesterday i stepped out of cebu for the first
time. I came down here, to Manila, the
capital city of philippine, to work. Dad had
that taken care of, so i can start working as
soon as i wish.
*phone rings*
The caller is no other than samuel my best
friend.
Samuel: hey bro
me: yeah! How are you doing?
Samuel: i’m doing good….how was your first
night in Manila? (laughing)
me: it wasn’t peaceful at all, Manila is a noisy
city!!!
Samuel: hahahaha welcome to Manila don’t
worry, you’d get used to it…..by the way am
coming over, like right now!
Me: (happy) thats nice, but come prepared,
you’ar gonna help me do some tidy-ups.
Samuel: exactly why i’m coming….catcha
then?
Me: i’d be waiting, bye.
*hunged up*
That was samuel, my best friend. We grew up
together, attended the same high school in
cebu, but after high school, he came down
here to Manila to live with his family, while i
attened college in cebu.
I started doing some of the tidying, fixing the
kitchen, putting the couches in place and so
on.
Just then, i heard a knock on the door, of
course i don’t need a seer to tell me its
samuel. I ushered him in, not after a friendly
handshake.
Me: buddy, i’ve got nothing to offer yet….(shy)
samuel: i understand, lets fix your house for
now, when we are done, i’d take you out, we
eat, have fun and show you new places, yeah?
Me: yeah! Thanks man.
Minutes drifted to hours, soon we were done
putting the house in order. Samuel called an
engineer to take care of the power, which he
did pretty well, guess he must be an expert.
Samuel and i went to a fast food restaurant in
the next street, M, de santos street, while i
live at Soriano avenue. We ate some local
(philippine) food and also visited some fun
parks. Then to samuel’s family house where i
was given a warm welcome.
The day moved really fast, its 7:34pm already!
I’m not the type that stays out late, i asked
samuel to take me home. Samuel had a car of
his own, and lives in a mansion, his parents
are filthy rich and he’s their only child. A little
wonder he is a spoilt brat.
Samuel dropped me at the entrance to my
house, before zooming off. I went in and sat
on the sofa to breath down for a while. I was
kinda tired luckily i don’t have to cook, i ate a
delicious meal made by samuel’s mum
herself!!!
I switched on the tv a soap tittled ‘rivers of
love’ was being played. I liked the display of
love and affection showered by Coco Martins
(a philippin actor) in the soap. I unconsciously
wished it was me been flooded by ‘rivers of
love’ yes i did had a relationship back then,
but i’d never describe that as rivers of love,
rather ‘desert of love’ yeah ‘coz i don’t know if
the love actually existed.
The soap ended a few minutes to 9pm, not
after leaving a great suspense. I was also
getting sleepy, but just as i envisaged, the
sounds of rock music, various degrees of car
hootings and what sounded like gunshots,
won’t let me have a blissful night rest.
I shouldn’t have opted to stay in the heart of
Manila, but hey! I want some adventures, i’ve
heard so much about MANILA. |
