HAIL? WHY IS HE CALLING ME?
“Ali, I need to answer the call first. Labas muna ako,” paalam niya sa dalaga. He then gave his father a look and he just nodded.
Napakunot-noo siya, it seems his father expected that he would receive a call from Hail. He swiped his phone to answer Hail’s call habang naglalakad palabas ng dining area. Kung ano man ang dahilan ng pagtawag nito ay nakapagtataka para sa kaniya. Ilang araw na lang at nasa Russia na siya at magkikita na sila ulit. Ano kaya ang sadya nito na hindi makapaghintay.
“Hail,” he opened the conversation.
“I need to talk to you before you come here.”
“What about?” he asked. Mas mabuti na wala nang mahabang preliminaries. With Hail ay mas okay na hindi marami ang salita, masyadong seryoso ito at direct to the point.
“Irina…” Hail said.
