Chapter 47

Lab

Binangga ako ni Claire at naglakad na siya palayo.

I can't even recover. Everything just stopped when she told me that Jax is her boyfriend. No. I-It can't be... It can't be true. Hindi talaga.

Wala ako sa sariling naglakad papunta sa the Pad. All of my excitement to see my new room and fix my things got drained.

Is Claire telling the truth? I don't think so! She's lying! She must be!

But it's been two years... Things change, Cali. Hindi lang ikaw ang pwede niyang mahalin.

Hindi lang ikaw.

I stopped walking when I saw Grant waiting on my door. I'm pretty sure that that's the new room assigned to me.

"Grant..." I called him.

I was so surprised when he walked to me and hugged me.

Maybe we're friends after all... And friends do miss each other. I hugged him back and buried my face on his chest. It felt so warm.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagsimula na akong umiyak. Na para bang pwede. Na para bang okay lang... Kasi kasama ko si Grant.

Jax and Claire are together now. It makes my stomach churn and my knees shake.

Grant started to caress my hair softly, tila inaalo ako. "After two years, iyakin ka pa rin..." mahina niyang sabi.

Natatawa akong kumalas sa yakap. Mabilis kong pinunasan ang mga mata ko. "I'm not!"

He looked at me seriously. Like he wanted to say something, but he just can't...

Grant bowed his head down. I was startled when he suddenly removed his necktie and handed it to me.

"Laban mo, binasa mo, e..." tamad niyang sabi.

Tinasaan ko siya ng kilay habang tinitignan iyong necktie niya. "You're so grabe! Hindi naman masyadong basa..."

Tumalikod na siya at naglakad palayo.

"Grant!" tawag ko pa pero ang bilis-bilis niyang maglakad.

I don't know how to make laba...

I gathered all of my courage to go back to class. Thinking of Jax and Claire crushes me from the inside. I told myself that I will accept it, but it was hard. I need time.

If he used those years to move on from me, I spent those years loving him still.

Now it made me question if I did the right thing before, but then if I could turn back time, I'll still do it for him.

Sometimes, we have to leave the things we love. Not because we didn't love them enough, but for we love them too much.

Now we're on the laboratory located also inside the greenhouse. It was newly renovated. Prof. Somero asked us to were our lab gowns before entering.

"We'll have our first activity today," Prof. Somero said.

He asked Xuri to do the demonstration with him and then told us to choose our partners. By twos iyon.

Hindi pa ako nakakagalaw ay nakita ko na agad si Claire na tumabi kay Jax.

Bumagsak ang mga balikat ko habang tinitignan sila. Why am I still surprised? Syempre nga naman at sila ang mag-partner.
