Events after the graduation a month later~~

The summer month had arrived in the Philippines, the month of May.

In the road of Manila, 1 pm…

Where the sun burning up to its peak, Sam didn’t expect it was gonna heat this much, so she drove a bike to her appointment.

Terms meaning:

Nak = Child

Nay = Mother

Bunso = Younger Sibling

Sam’s mother opened the gate of their house for Sam“You do sure about this nak?”.

“Yes ma, don’t worry about me.”,Sam replied enthusiast-ly, and ride her bike.

“I know nak, but won’t ride a jeep or tricycle be much safer under this summer? The heat might burn up?”.

“Riding a bike will be much quicker nay~”, Sam grip the handle of her bike, preparing to get going despite the heat and risk.

“Just be careful on the road, little brother. You sure you don’t want to get a cab instead?”.

“I will be quick nay, I will simply attend my job interview and go home.”

“Okay—, don’t return home complaining about your outfit getting wet by sweat. I already provided an alternative, and you rejected it.

“Take care on the road~”.

“Yes nay~”.

Sam followed her own will and drove the road with her bike, despite her in a fancy outfit of beige shirt and a skirt.

She consider it a quick trip…

“Too hot— damnn it…”, panting, Sam holds her shirt neck, fanning some air in to at least slightly reduce the heat.

Frustrated, Sam clenched both hands to her hips. A load of vehicles covered the road in Metro Manila. While she’s stuck in the traffic's side, she heard a news radio from the car beside her, stating that the summer might last up to May, followed by the current heat degree 91° Fahrenheit ( 33° Celsius).

Sam open her mouth a little and felt her throat. “My throat is about to be dry”, Sam clenched her teeth out of too much heat and sweating, and fanned herself using her hand.

Sam gets too much frustrated because of the heatwave and can’t hold it any longer, she screamed“Grrhhh Hot weather and traffic!”, her both hands drop and curled like a claw out of anger looking like she’s about to choke someone. 

“I have an appointment to attend and this traffic is making me late!!!”, Sam cried.

Everyone noticed her and stole a glance, they were surprised by her sudden burst of anger in the middle of a traffic jam.

The driver beside her knocked the windshield of his car, telling Sam to cool down. Sam is very mad the driver is disturb, He opened his windshield, “ Shh calm it down we are all on this hot weather, you’re adding to my headache”.

Sam eyed the driver and respond,”How I will gonna get chill, when I am going to be late for my job appointment”. Sam cried.

The driver turned his head to the road after listening to Sam’s reasons, “Hey get a hold of yourself” he responded twice. The driver get worried, he ducked down looking for his handkerchief, he picked it up and offered it to Sam to wipe her tears and sweat.

Sam refuses the handkerchief, “Thank you for your generosity, but uhh I can get through this.” Sam responded and smiled to the driver, she then noticed a gap beside the car Infront. 

“Hmmp, Okayy~” ,The driver replied with a smile then looked to the road.

Sam also looked straight to the road, while looking she noticed something that grabs her attention, an open gap a space big enough for her to get through, Sam locked in her view to the gap, “Take the chance or let it slip”.

Sam on the same moment, her head is getting a little dizzy not because of the strange dude but instead due to the heat.

“Gosh that guy, now I am super late at my appointment for the job.”

“Such a bad day was it”.

“Goshh, I’m drowned of my own sweat, and I smell awful ”, Sam cried.

Sam sweat much to the point her throat almost dry and her baige shirt color gets darker due to it being wet by her sweat.

Sam take a peeking of her bike and noticed that one of her tire, the back tire already melted the air gusting out, she standed up beside her bike and her face evokes dismayed and sad almost gonna cry, got no other choice to do, she just accepted the situation and slowly dragged her bike out of the road and parked it by the sidewalk.

Even tho she sitted under a waiting shed, the burning sun still hits her face, she tried to block it using her pouch but the heat still went through. 

“Ugh~, my skin fells sticky”, sniffed her outfit, her shirt smelled awfully disgusting that she almost vomit.

“Just how unfortunate I will get this day, firstly I am super duper late to my supposed to be interview, and secondly my tire melted ughhh grrr”. Sam complained to herself, then her head hurts and her visions getting blurry.

She fainted, her body laid down on the ground of the sidewalk, due too much exhaustion and too much waste of water (sweat).

A ton of bystander gathered around her—

Davie was listening to a music and bumped to one of the bystanders. “Huy watch where you going!”, a bystander shouted to the guy that just arrived. 

He plucked out his earphone and immediately apologizes.

“What’s happening here?”, he asked to the guy he just bumped into. “A girl just fainted some witnesses guessed, it may be because of the heat and exhaustion.”.

“Really?”, he responded.

“Where is the girl? Is she alright?”, Davie followed up.

“I am not sure tho, I wanted to know too but this crowd upfront it blocked me.”,the bystander replied.

“Can you move to the side so I can see?, I just have this feeling dunno why…”, Davie begged to the bystander.

“S-sure”, the bystander understood and step back aside.

Davie stood still for a moment and breathe deeply, “Hope my feeling, isn’t true…”, he opened his eyes, he asked all the bystander to stand aside but some refused so he did what he must do he insistedly pushed to get through them, and he get through, almost about to fall, he’s eyes were closed, he opened them one by one and he saw Sam laying on the ground helplessly.

“S-Sam?” 

“Sam?!!”, his eyes widen.

He immediately checked her pulse using his two fingers to see if it’s beating,”Good thank you lord, it’s beating”. Davie held up Sam’s head near his chest.”You scared me, I had thought I would lose you~.”

“I don’t know what I will do— if I really lose you, Sammie”, Davie murmured to himself.

Davie, turned his back against Sam but he still held her head using his left hand, he was gonna look for a towel to wipe the sweat off Sam. 

He found the towel and was about to wipe Sam’s face when she suddenly open her mouth and asked for a water to drink. A both of Surprised and anxious mixed into Davie, he was surprised happy that Sam finally get conscious, but anxious because he didn’t have a water bottle to his disposal.

“W-water…”, Sam begged thrice in a low tone voice in a row, her throat is too dry for her to asked in her usual voice.

“W-water? Uhh, Shitt I don’t have one uhhh—”. Davie looked to his back, and the guy he bumped earlier saw him and pulled a water bottle from his backpack and give it to Davie.

“Thank youu dude, thank youu~”. Davie heart fully thanks.

Davie shaking, opened the water bottle and held up Sam hunched front. He gently poured the water into Sam’s opened mouth, Due to too much exhaustion Sam finished the entire water in the bottle water.

Davie turned his back against Sam and give back the water bottle to the bystander, the guy he bumped earlier.

Sam finally recovered and slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to see Davie by her side. “D-Davie!!?”.

Davie asked the crowd to step back away to give Sam space for air to get in as they are heavily crowded by tons of bystanders.

“Yes Sammie, it’s me Davie”, Davie replied.

“D-Davie, what happen?”—

The crowd noticed that the incident was finally fine, Sam finally recovered. All of them step out. The bystander Davie bumped into raised an eyebrow and smiled to Davie, telling he’s gonna leave.

“Thank you dude~”. Davie thanked the guy before he finally fade out of Davie’s sight.

“Hmm?”, Sam looked at Davie’s eyes confused.

“Nothing just a gold hearted guy”, Davie Smiled.

“What just happened, why are you suddenly here?”. Sam asked.

“I should be the one to ask you that.”. Davie responded.

Sam’s sighed,”Yeah…” , “Well…uhmm what happened was…uhh… I received a call this morning—”

“A call? From who?”,Davie disturb and asked.

“from an insider in a media studio”,Sam replied.

Davie’s eyes widen, “You got a call? Great, but then how did this happen?.”

“Let me finished my story first beforehand Kay?”.

“Before that…can you stand?”, Davie asked to Sam while he tried to slowly stand up his legs a bit numb due to long sitting position. After he finally get to stand up he offered his hand to Sam.

“Why, where are we going?”.

“It’s getting a little bit embarrassing that we talking here in the middle of the sidewalk hahah”.

“Oh”, Sam’s eyes widen after she realized they are really at the middle of the sidewalk.”Get me up, Get me up before we get scolded by some folks haha”.Sam hold Davie’s hand tight, because she struggled much to stand up due to not fully recovered yet from too much exhaustion.

“So where to?”, Sam asked Davie after she fixed her hair and wiped her wet shirt using her handkerchief.

Davie fixed his hair, “I’m pretty sure you’re very late to your appointment didn’t you?”. He asked and looked toward Sam which is at his side also looking at him.

He blushed.

“Are you blushing?”, Sam noticed.

“Huh??”.

“Don’t deny it, your face even your nose is red as tomato haha”.Sam teased.

“You pretty I can’t stop it”.Davie said to himself.

“You saying something?”.

“Nothing~”.

To avoid getting teased and bullied further Davie back the topic,

Davie looked at Sam despite blushing “So…uhh, ermm, What time do you still have left till your appointment?”.

“I don’t think I can still— wait let me check.”Sam opened her cellphone and scroll down to find her notes.

On the very top she finds :

“Job Appointment(Interview for media): 2:30pm - 3:30pm”

“Okayy, what time is it now?”. Davie asked Sam he also leaned his head to also looked to the time at Sam’s phone.

“2:00pm— “, they both said and bumped each other’s head as they raise up.

“We still have time!—”. Davie exclaimed and looked to Sam’s with great motivation.

“But my tires melted…”, Sam displayed a sad and grumpy emotion while she looked at her bike, “ and I looked disgusting and felt sluggy ugh~ I can’t go like this no way…”.

Davie stood for a second to think of what he’s gonna do for the situation…
