The Stalker ... Part II

I am still in Manila. I went to a supermarket to get some snacks and instant noodle in case I am hungry at late night. I was tired from work, and strolling slowly aisle by aisle listening to a pop song playing loudly in the supermarket.

As my eye was fixed to a box of Green Tea trying to doing a mind math converting back to my currency .. there is a tap on my shoulder. A total stranger! Smiling widely and he said hello, shook my hand and I said to him .. Do I know you? You may have mistaken who I am. He then said, it's me, the door man at the hotel! I had changed to a tee shirt. At the back of my mind, urrm have I noticed you before?? He said he opened the door for me everyday when I leave and come back to the hotel. He then asked how long will I stay in the hotel. I was very reserved but providing very limited information of myself.

He went on explaining why he was done so early today. He was busy shopping for his boy's birthday and will go celebrating tonight. I said to him say 'Happy Birthday' to him and have a nice evening. Then he said can you give me some tips so I can buy ice cream for my boy! Here I am, I don't even know him and the guy asking money from me. One part of me I felt bad because he's trying to get something for his boy, the other half of me told me he is a total stranger who knows me!! Should I give him the tips or shouldn't I??!!! Anyway, I won't tell you what I did next ... but I felt stalked! I think I need to move out from this hotel with all my might! Creepy!
