CHAPTER 35

'THEM'

ALTHYS TREÑAS

NASA harap ako ng libingan ni mama ko, hindi ko alam ang mararamdaman dahil halos maubos na ang luha ko.Kagabi pa ako dito, I always comeback and I feel like I don't wanna move forward anymore.

Bukod naman d'yan ay dala dala ko ang laptop at iba kong libro, i'm still fixing our defense and still reviewing for the upcoming examinations in different subjects.Sinasabi kong gusto ko nang sumuko but look at me, still studying and wasting my time for my education.

Sa mama ko ako na-inspire mag-motor, she loves to drive that too, umaangkas lang ako sakanya noon.Now, i'm missing those days.I shouldn't have grow up kung ganito lang din ang babagsakan ko.

"One.. two.. three.." nilingon ko ang ang taong nagbi-bilang

Tiningala ko siya at nakita kong pa-isa isang pag-lapag ng bulaklak ang ginagawa niya.His face is emotionless while he's counting the flowers.

"You don't have to do that and why are you doing that anyways?" deretsahang saad ko sakanya habang nakakunot ang noo ko

"Nothing much, nothing less" komento niya lang at sinindihan ang kandila na dala niya

Nag-indian sit siya sa tapat ko at tinitigan ang lapida ng mama ko, why is he here anyways?

"If the sun would rise and she'll see those teary eyes,

She will feel gloomy too just like you

If she hears your cries

She'll form a heart in the skies"

As he continue to talk, he pick one petal from a flower and handed it to me.

"Flowers have petals, your mother is lethal

She hates betrayal just like you who doesn't need an approval

My words are shallow yet hard to swallow

It's easy to comprehend yet it's hard to pretend"

Pinunasan niya ang luha ko nang mag-simula nanaman itong tumulo, will she really form a heart in the sky if she hear my cries?

"You may hate me but I can make you free

As we remember the good old days, we can be under the tree

I may not be good in poems infront of thee

But I still want to make you happy"

He took a deep breathe and stare into my eyes, tinitigan n'ya 'yon na para bang may gusto s'yang sabihin saakin pero hindi niya masabi.I saw his pupil become bigger for some reason, it stays like that for a while then he look away.

"Wanna race?" bigla niyang tanong

"Race?I have lots of works to do—" he cut me off

"But racing can make you feel better" aniya at tumayo

Inilahad niya ang kamay niya saakin, tinanggap ko 'yon sa kung anong dahilan.Dinala niya din ang mga gamit ko at ipinasok sa kotse n'ya.Sumakay naman ako sa motor ko at sinundan siya.
