My LRT Girl

Last Day

#Last day

I never saw her again. 

Well, a few glimpses yes. 

But that is not enough. 

The semester have been tough. 

And I don't know how can I still met her. 

Its my first time to be home late. 

I did a lot of things together with my classmates. 

And there are only a few people left at the station. 

I heard a sound that dropped. 

I look at my back and I was taken aback. 

She is picking her bag that was dropped. 

I don't know if its because I'm tired and sleepy that I saw recognition in her eyes. 

I gave her a weak smile. 

She gave back a huge one. 

All my tiredness and sleepyness was gone without a trace. 

We both walked out of the station. 

And kept a safe distance from her. 

I got a bit distracted by my phone that's vibrating in my pocket. 

I got a message from my mom telling me to be safe where I am. 

I looked ahead and got dumbfounded. 

I saw her there standing holding her belongings. 

The snatcher was strong taking everything she holds. 

I run towards them. 

The snatcher saw me and plunged the knife at her. 

I froze where I was standing. 

She looked at me pleading. 

The snatcher then run like crazy. 

I knelt down at her told her to be calm that the ambulance is already coming. 

She game me a faint smile mouthed: 

"I'm sorry." 

I got confused. 

"What are you saying?" I was already at panic looking at her so helpless. 

"I let the guy run away with my things. I haven't given you what I should have given you a long time ago. I like you." 

I froze. 

of all time and place why now? 

why not before. 

"I should be the one telling that to you first. I like you too." 

She smiled and hold my cheeks with that cold and trembling hands of her. 

"There I said it. Its nice seeing you that day on my first day of school." 

slowly her hands on my cheeks slip off. 

she closed her eyes with a smile on her lips.
