Tears Of Sorrow (SHORT STORY)

Chapter 9

AIRA'S POV.

We are all here at school with our other classmates yung iba nag si uwian na we are both dumbfounded,bukas pa kasi kikilos ang mga pulis e.

"Guys? Let's all go home first, we'll see each other here tomorrow o kaya huwag na muna kayong bumalik. "Jess said and they nodded.

"So bukas,babalik tayong tatlo rito ah. "sabi ni Eric at tinalikuran na kaming dalawa ni Jess.

"Oh ikaw aira?di ka pa ba uuwi?"tanong ni Jess sa akin.

"Hindi pa. "sagot ko at tumango naman sya sa akin.

"What do you think will happen tomorrow?" she asked me.

"Nobody knows Jess. " I answered and she looked at me and nodded.

"Bakit kaya ganyan yung buhay ni Gabbi?naawa ako sa kanya. "sabi nya na may malungkot na tono.

"Kahit ako Jess,ganyan din ang tanong ko,naawa rin ako sa kanya pero Jess alam nating lahat na malapit na malapit ng mahuli ang magulang nya." sabi ko sa kanya at napatango sya.

"Sana maging okay na ang lahat"sabi nya at napaluha.

"Oo magiging okay rin ang lahat,magbabagong buhay na rin si Gabbi. "sabi ko.

"Sana nga aira. "sagot nya at tumango lang ako at niyakap sya.

"Sige,mauna na ako sayo Aira. "sabi nya at tumango lang ako.

I looked at her as she walked away until I couldn't see her , She is also sad about Gabbi's situation now and ganon din ako. I know I did a lot to Gabbi, I know myself that it was wrong to bully Gabbi and I feel guilty for everything I did, if only I had known early that her situation was like that, I wish I wouldn't have bullied her, she would have become my best friend, I wish I could turn back time but I can't because it's too late.

JESSICA'S POV.

I woke up early because now that Gabbi's parents are going to be arrested, I also have to go to school because Aira and Eric might be there waiting. I want Gabbi to change her life, I don't want that situation to happen to her again.

"Nay! I have to go" I said and mom looked at me.

"Where are you going?"mom asked.

"to school. " I gave her a short answer.

"Wala naman kayong pasok ngayon ah"sabi ni nanay.

"Oo nga po nay,may aasikasuhin lang po kami." sabi ko at tinalikuran ko na sya.

"Sandali lang anak!"sigaw ni nanay kaya napatigil ako.

"At ano na naman ang aasikusahin nyo?projects?assignments?ano?" tanong ni nanay at lumapit naman ako sa kanya.

"Nay, now the police are going to arrest Gabbi's parents.. we reported them to the police so I'm leaving. " I answered and turned my back on her.

Tumakbo na ako papatungo sa school para mabilis akong makarating doon at nakita ko na nga si aira at eric

"Aira!Eric!"sigaw ko habang tumakbo at napahinto naman sila at tinignan ako.

"Oh,Jess!"sabay nilang sabi.

"Tara punta na tayo sa police station. "sabi ko.

" Wait ah, you've only just arrived and then we'll go to the police station right away? umupo ka muna. " Eric said and sat down on the big rock, just tired of running.

"Ngayon na ang araw na magbabagong buhay si Gabbi. "sabi ni Aira at tumango naman kaming dalawa ni Eric.

"Makapag aral na ulit si Gabbi!"masayang sabi ni Eric.

"Tapos bubullyhin nyo na naman huh?"sabi ko sa kaniya.

"Hindi na,nagbabago na ako Jess..hindi na ako katulad ng dati Jess. "sabi pa nya at yumuko.

"Sana nga lang Eric. "sabi ko at napatingin sya sa akin.

"Tara,pupunta na tayo sa police station. "sabi ko sabay tayo at sumunod naman sakin ang dalawa.
