CHAPTER 26

I squinted my eyes when I saw my brother on our usual table. He was with our cousins. When they saw us heading towards them Saturday waved her hands.

"Nandito na ang couple of the year!" salubong ni Tuesday kaya ngumiwi ako.

She winked at me. Tumingin ako kay Zach na umupo sa tabi ko at tinanguan lang sila. Here we go, again. I face my brother.

"Anong ginagawa mo rito?"

"Obviously, this is a canteen,"he answered like I was so foolish for asking him such a question.

"You're just broken-hearted, dude. Don't be so grumpy," I rolled my eyes and he literally did the same.

Zach ordered our foods. Nang kumakain na kami ay dumating sina Farah. I smiled at him and she did the same. I invited them to sit with us at pinaunlakan naman nila kaagad.

"Complete tayo," Saturday said."May couples, may broken hearted, mayroon ding single."

"Oo nga no," nagtawanan sila ng kakambal niya.

I was silent the whole time. Pinakiramdaman ko sina Farah. I hope she's okay. I feel bad for her. I threw a glance at Klein who's very attentive to his girlfriend.

My forehead creased when I didn't feel anything. He didn't even try to look at me. He's just attending his girlfriend the whole time.

Napatingin ako kay Zach nang hawakan niya ang kamay ko. He leaned closer to my ears.

"Don't look at him, I'm getting jealous," he whispered, which made me blushed furiously.

"Stop it."

Iniwas ko ang kamay ko. I heard him chuckle. He knows what I'm feeling right now.

After eating, we headed to respective classes. I was with Farah and I felt pity on her. She always smiles and her genuine smile can melt thousands of hearts.

I was distracted from my seatwork when I felt my phone vibrate. I get it secretly. It was Zach.

Zach:

I can't be with you later. I'm going to be absent this afternoon.

My forehead wrinkled at his message. I looked at our teacher who's busy and started to type.

Rain:

Why? Saan ka pupunta?

I bet my lips when I read my message. I put it back in my pocket before I continued what I've been doing.

Natapos ang klase na iyon na wala akong natanggap mula sa kaniya. I just shrugged it off and waited for his message patiently.

Kasi sa bawat araw na nagdaan I realized that I should be contented on the time he's giving me. Hindi lang sa akin umiikot ang mundo niya kaya dapat makuntento ako. I always enjoy the time that I'm with him kasi baka iyon na ang huling beses na makasama ko siya ng ganoon.

Sabi nga ni Charles Darwin, the permanent thing in the world is change. Kaya hindi lahat ng nasa iyo ngayon ay habang-buhay na yan sa buhay mo. The time will come and everything will change. Ang kailangan mo lang gawin ay ang maging handa sa pagbabago at handa itong tanggapin ng buo.

If your loved ones are always on your side, the time will come that they need to go and you have to let them go, whether you like it or not, because it's their choice. All you have to do is accept it and don't throw a resentment on them.

You have to accept that he's/she's gone, kaya wag mong sanayin ang sarili mo na kasama siya dahil baka kapag nawala siya, hahanapin mo lang siya sa iba.
