CHAPTER 13

JOHN

“Kuya John wag mo kaming kakalimutan ha!”

Sigaw ni Abigail habang naiyak ng konti. Eto na ang araw na babalik na ulit ako sa U.S. mga 5 months lang stay ko run. “Ano ka ba? Babalik rin ako.”

Tinawanan namin si Abi while she is endlessly crying. “Baka pagbalik mo lawyer na ako!”

She then hugged me. I am surprised but touched. Leanna told me her story. That's why she felt hard on these occasions. She has separation anxiety. 

“Babalik naman siya hindi mamamatay.” Hinila ni Dean si Abi palayo sakin.

“Who knows what will happen! Stay Safe kuya!” sigaw ni Abi muli.

“Ingat ka sa U.S. pasalubong namin ha,” sabi ni Lucas sa akin. Magpapasalubong pa ay pupunta rin siya after a few weeks.

“Nanghihingi ka pa ng pasalubong, bilhin mo  lang kasi ang buong U.S.” payabang na sabi ni Dean. We all glared at him.

“Money can’t buy happiness.” Palaban na sabi ni Amelia.

After that trip, we became closer to Amelia. She is part of the gang now.

The ObOb Gang.

“Kaya kong bilhin ang katawan ng mahal ko.” They glared at each other.

“Naks, naol.”

“Huy anong mabibili mo! Regalo mo nga sa akin nung debut ko ay Chanel socks lang!”

Inawat na sila ni Lucas. Baka makagawa ng scene sa airport, nakakahiya na. “Nasan na si Lea? Baka mahuli siya.”

“Hala! Hindi ako makakasama!” sigaw niya habang nag peperma ng mga papeles. She was busy after our return. Kasalanan ko ata kasi binigyan ko siya ng break pero dumagdag ang gawain noong wala siya so tambak ang gawain.

“Please even just 1 hour.” I begged at her.

“Kailan ba ‘yun? My schedule was full.” She felt sad and I can sense it through her voice but she needs to complete her work.

“Monday, please.”

“Nah, her work is more important than me!” I smiled at them while they looked at me worriedly.

“John, I will say this not for misunderstanding but the airport is her nightmare.”

Dean seriously speaks up. I know about that story. “Lea was dragged and harassed by a lot of people in this exact airport.”

But the reason in my mind was completely the opposite. I thought it was because of her ex-husband or fiancé.

“Guys!”

Tumingin kaming lahat sa isang direksyon, sa iisang babae.

The scene was in slow motion for me and I couldn't help but smile.

But I can’t take off my mask because of my identity, who knows there is a Light (fan) here.

“I’m sorry if I’m late! I’m cramming for work.” She giggled and looked at me.

Nag-iisip pa lang utak ko pero gumagalaw na katawan ko. “Fuck, it feels like I’m gonna lose you again.” Then hugged her tightly.

“John! Come on!” I cried while looking at the entrance door. This is too much for me. I am just a kid with lots of hope.

I’ve seen my parents die with my own eyes and now losing my best friend forever after.

“Lea where are you?”
