Rainy Days (Daylight Series #1)

Chapter 6

Despite the news about our dinner last night. I still go to school because it's Valentines day. I am not expecting that someone will give me any gifts now. Zia and I stayed in Park to passed the time and watched the students passed us by.

Some of them were looking at us when they passed us by. Noon ay iniirapan ko ang mga studyante na tumitingin sa'min. Pero nabago ako ng isang lalaki na hindi ko namalayang nakapasok na pala sa systema ko.

He came unexpectedly and change me in a way no human being ever has. Namalayan ko nalang 'yon sa sarili ko na unti-unti kung binago ang ugali ko. Everyone is looking up to me pero instead of smiling back at them. Tinatarayan ko sila.

"Ate Natalia! May nagpapabigay po sa'yo." A girl on her highschool uniform approached me.

Our school has a uniform coding para malaman kung aling level ka. Iisa kasi ang paaralan mula kindergarten up to college. She gave me a rose and a dairy milk chocolate.

"Who gave this?" I asked.

"Isang senior student po. Doon po sa building na 'yon..." Tinuro niya ang isang senior high building na may nagkukumpulan na mga binata.

Hindi ko tinatanggap ko ang ganito noon but I realize that I should appreciate this gesture of them. Hinahangaan nila ako and by giving back, I will accept this now.

"Tell him thank you okay?" I mumbled softly.

She nodded repeatedly. "Okay po! Wala pong problema." She waved her hand to me.

I read the note written there.

To: Natalia

Hi Natalia,
Happy Valentine's day! I wrote this letter to say the words I wanted to say to you that I can't be able to say in person. Actually, nahihiya akong e approached ka at baka tarayan mo lang ako. Just like last valentine's day, but I have no hard feelings.

Instead... I wrote this to say that I admire you for a very long time. I like you to be exact but I know that I don't have a chance to you. Pero sana tanggapin mo ang rose na 'to at ang letters ko sa'yo. It might not be the ideal rose I could give, I hope you appreciate this.

I will still admiring you from afar.

From:
Jefferson.

I looked at the man in the building at tinutukso pa siya ng mga kaklase niya. I waved my hand at them and medyo narinig ko ang mga tilian nila dahil sa ginawa ko.

And my day was started, random students gives me flowers. At ako naman ay hindi na mahawakan 'yon lahat. Madami ding nagbibigay ng flowers kay Zianna kaya pareho kaming hirap na magbitbit.

We decided to put it in the car trunk muna. Before we go back again to the school kasi balita ko may mga program pa na gagawin sa school for Valentine's.

Habang naglalakad kami sa daan ay biglang may grupo ng kalalakihan ang pumunta sa'min. Holding a towel and I already guess what it was for.

"Natalia... Pasensya na. May nag-utos lang kasi sa'min. 'Wag ka sanang magalit." At piniringan na nila ako.

"Zianna..." I uttered and hold her hand.
