Nothing Stays Forever

Better Left Said

*sniff* *sniff* Aheem! Polluted air. Super heavy traffic. This is really home. Philippines here I go again!!!

It's been 5 years nagbago na ako't lahat-lahat. Ganun ka pa din. Ma usok. Maingay. Mabagal. Madumi. Mga katangi.an na wala sa San fo. Mga bagay na sobrang namiss ko.

Namiss mo rin kaya ako? O baka naman hindi mo man lang napansin na nawala ako ng limang taon. Yung mga taong naiwan ko kaya? Kamusta sila nung wala ako?

Siya? Sana masaya na siya.

CHAPTER 1

"Hahahaha your hilarious Sash! Hahahaha!"

"Drae I'm serious."

I bow down my head. I dont know why his laughing. Ganun na ba ka hindi kapani paniwala ang pag amin ko.

"Ever since you saved me from those bullies. I found you as my knight in shinning armor. I may sound corny and childish. I dont care! I wanted you to know that you make me feel special every caring word you said just to comfort me. Drae I.. I love-"

"Stop! Dont say that! Sash wake up! You dont know what you're saying! Come on! I told you every shit Im doing with girls! How I play with them. How come? How could you say you love me? I dont deserve you. I mean, you're too good for a dumb ass like me. You dont deserve me sash!"

He walked away.

Takbo ako ng takbo as if pag malayo na ko sa kanya mawawala yung sakit na tumusok sa puso ko.

Para na akong baliw. Umiiyak. Tumatakbo. Asan na ba ako? Huminto ako. I found myself hugging my knees in a hallway.

"Hey sash. What happened?"

I looked up. And there I saw Clair. I hugged her. I barely needed this hug right now.

"Sinabi ko na clang. Alam na nya."

"Whaat? So?"

"I guess he dont like what he heard. He walked away."

"Oh God! I didnt know. You'll leave like this."

Clair knows everything. She's my sister. Tomorrow is supposed to be the most unforgetable day of my life. Tomorrow when we leave high school life I would also leave them. How I wish I could left all the tawanan, asaran, bangayan, tampuhan, na nauwi lang sa sakitan na sa di inaasahang humatung sa paalaman.

Bye for now.
