Chapter 3: Handsome Stranger 2
Betty: ah, okay, but what about your aunt Orya's coffee beans??? She was asking us to help her, you know very well that your aunt has no one to turn to.
Arnie: ah.... maybe I Jr and Loida will try to take care of it after we're done with the palm fruits.
I also happen to see grandpa juan yesterday, he said that he had asked grandma Carnacion bring us with her to pick coffee beans in their farm, the one near our own farm. Even Grandma Carnacion asked us to help. I and Helen already agreed, but we told her that we can only help after we were done with the palm fruit picking.
Betty: Okay, it's up to you
Arnie: yes mom... I need to save some money so that I can go with you on the market this Saturday, I want to buy my favorite shoemaker fish and anchovies, I'm going to cook ceviche anchovies. I am also going to buy palabok rice noodle dish and rice and beef tripe gruel at Yeye. I'll buy it for Rossane too.
At noon after they rested Betty and her children Arnie, Jr, and Loida go to the east part of their farm together.
They pick coffee beans, each one of them was assigned to one coffee tree to pick coffee beans. The siblings decided to have a contest on which one of them can pick the most coffee beans.
Arnie is busy picking coffee beans at the farthest area of the east side of their farm when a handsome guy passed by. The man is tall well built and mestizo, he passed by the old cart road.
Her gaze followed the stranger, she's wondering why the guy is pulling a very long rope while the clothes he wears are very nice. He is wearing white long sleeves and white pants that he paired with nice black boots. He looked like a popular action star in the movie.
But Arnie didn't care about the stranger's handsome looks. Instead, she is wondering who that guy is, while her gaze follows the back of the already far away stranger and still think who that stranger really is???
Arnie: I wonder who that guy is? why did he pass by this old cart road??? I'm sure that man is not a local from kaytambog because I know almost everyone here and everyone here we're all relatives. If that guy is from another barrio? How come he doesn't have anyone with him from my barrio? And why doesn't he even bother to stop and asked if he lost his way??? Maybe that guy has been played by centaurs???
