Sunsets With You

Chapter 04

"Miss! Are you alright?!" Lumingon ako and i saw a guy, he looked older. He was gripping tight on my arm and, oh. Gosh, napa-pano ba 'ko?! Muntik na 'ko masagasaan!

"Y-yes.." I said, looking at him with a stunned look. Hindi ako maka-paniwala. If it weren't for this guy...

"Oh my gosh, i'm so sorry po! I- Hindi ako tumitingin sa dina-daanan ko, i'm so sorry po, thank you for saving my life!" I said as he chuckled and let go of my arm, i bowed my head a little as the man sighed. 

"Hay nako miss, i understand that life is hard, but you can't always end things with death." Aniya.

"No! No i wasn't trying to kill myself, it was an-" He shushed me. 

"Shh, it's alright. I know you must be embarrassed to show what you're going through. You don't have to lie to me, i understand you i've been there before." He gave me a smile as he patted my shoulder. Tinignan ko lang siya, i was stunned and confused. Nanahimik nalang ako dahil mukhang walang balak mag-patalo ang lalaking ito. 

"I'm Lester by the way, you?" Inalok niya 'yung kamay niya. 

"Am-", "Suicide girl?" Tanong niya at kumunot naman ang noo ko. Hindi na nakaka-tuwa 'yon ah! 

"I said it was an acc-"  

"Joke lang naman, i know suicide isn't a joke. But if you ever need help, here's my business card." He said as he gave me his business card. 

"Doctor ka?" Tanong ko, hindi kasi halata. Charot.

"Hindi pa, pero 'yung kaibigan ko oo." 

"Eh bakit may business card ka?" Tanong ko habang naka-kunot ang noo. Ang weird naman nitong lalaki na 'to.

"Why not? Anyways if you need help, just call me. I know a friend, he's a psychiatrist." He said as he winked and left. Hindi man lang ako naka-sagot. Apaka weird!

"Sinabi nang hindi nga ako nag-attempt. Gosh." I muttered to myself. "Wow, at nang gamit pa ng hospital, pwede ba 'yun?" I scoffed.

Nasa classroom lang kami, nananahi kami ni Daniella at habang 'yung iba naman nanama-hinga. Ang dami din ganap, 'yung sa dance activity, may showdown pa, tapos 'yung pageant. Nakaka-pagod! Pero tiis lang, this is my last year of highschool. 

"Sipag 'nung dalawa oh." Lumingon kami ni Stace doon sa pinto, at nandon naman si Miguel. Mukhang mang-iistorbo nanaman. 

"'Dun ka nga sa section mo, 'wag ka mang-gulo dito!" Pag papa-alis ni Daniella sa kaniya. Na-upo si Miguel sa tabi ko at kumuha ng sinulid at karayom. "Pano ba 'to?" 

"Hoy! Lumayo ka, i-susumbong kita sa VP niyo at dito ka nanaman tumutulong." Inirapan ko siya at hindi pinansin. Nakaka-loka! Kaya galit na galit samin section nila eh.
