What Lies Above The Skies | COMPLETED

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8
CLOUDS ARE MEANT FOR RAINS, NOT FOR THE SKY

Time really do flies that fast, isn't it? Sky as well as Cloud do agree with that.

Two whole weeks has passed and although it seems just like a wind flew by for others, to Sky and Cloud? It feels like hell.

Bawat araw na lumilipas ay di pwedeng hindi nila maalala ang paghihiwalay na ginawa nila. Bawat araw, tandang-tanda nila kung paanong bumabalik sa alaala nang bawat isa ang tagpong naging dahilan ng pagtalikod nila sa isa't-isa.

How Sky left the door.. how Cloud let go Sky's hands.. those scenes are still fresh into their memories and everytime those scenes flashes through their mind.. it serves as a knife stabbing their chest.

The news even defeated The Flash at how it immediately spread through Cloud's friends and his Mom. Ni wala pa nga yata sa ikatlong araw ay alam na agad nila ang nangyari kina Cloud at Sky specially Marie and Jenny who are both good at this.

In terms of Cloud's Mom, she decided not to speak or get involved with it although she did get involved for a mean time. Ang iniisip n'ya nalang ngayon ay para bang s'ya pa ang may dahilan kung bakit nangyari ang lahat nang 'to sa anak n'ya although Cloud doesn't look that way. Kasi ang alam n'ya, perhaps ang pinaniniwalaan n'ya, ay kasalanan n'ya.

Malakas na bumuntong-hininga si Cloud sa gitna nang tahimik nilang klase kaya agaw-pansin iyon. Lahat ay napatingin sakanya pero parang hindi n'ya man lang ito napansin dahil hindi s'ya tumigil sa pagtunganga sa kawalan.

Although it did caught everyone's attention, they all also noticed that Cloud is not in the mood so they just let it passed. Afterall, Cloud is a top student and isn't like that everyday or.. perhaps he is for approximately two whole weeks now?

Wala kasi ito palagi sa sarili n'ya at pana'y ang tingin sa telepono nito na para bang may inaantay s'ya. All of his friends do noticed that dahil sa t'wing mag-uuwian na ay panay ang hakot ni Cloud sa bulsa nito saka agad na ibabalik as if he was disappointed and again and again. Ulit-ulit lang pero walang balak ang mga ito na kumprontahin si Cloud dahil aware parin silang hindi pa ito ayos, completely.

Just like now. While Cloud is sitting, holding his phone at his right hand looking at nothing in the window, he raised it, pressed the lock button and pressed it again before looking back at the window.

By this moment in time, Cloud's friends are all aware that Cloud is waiting for someone or.. someone that is named Sky to call or text him atleast.

"Cloud." napatingin s'ya kay Marie, "You don't need to wait for him to text you. If he really wants to talk to you, he'll reach you out."

Imbes na sumagot ay inilihis nalang ni Cloud ang paningin n'ya, like he usually do everytime they ask.

Although they know Cloud and Sky already broke up, hindi parin talaga malinaw sa isipan nila ang pinaka-dahilan. Afterall, wala silang lakas na magtanong. Dama parin kasi talaga nilang apektado parin si Cloud sa mga nangyari.

"And you don't need to get involve with everything." asar na tinignan ni Marie si Louie na as usual, sarcastic, bago ito inismiran atsaka nalang bumalik sa pakikinig sa guro nila.

Just as how everyone expected Cloud would be for the rest of the subject, that's how it actually became. Hanggang sa natapos ang klase ay tulala lang s'yang nakatingin sa bintana although this time, tila ba aware na ito sa oras. Because when the bell rang, he also stood just like his classmates and friends na s'yang ikinagulat naman nang mga ito.

After standing he then grab his bag and about to leave the room when Louie pull his hand, "San ka pupunta? We have plans today, nakalimutan mo?"

"Plans?" takhang tanong nito.
