“Kismet”
Destiny was designed by God. We can experience pain, bitterness and heartaches and that’s the ingredients of life; Destiny decides who you meet in life, but it’s your heart that decide who will stay inside and join you on the long journey of your life.”
Kristoffer Centeno’s Point of View
“Oh for those who will go to Baguio come here! Two passengers only and we will go! Baguio trip here! Baguio!” the barker on the Bus terminal shouted at his loud voice using megaphone.
I step on the entrance door of the bus. I walk inside and search for a seat. As what the barker shouted outside the bus, Only two passengers were needed for the bus to go. So it means there are two vacant seats and the one seat is for me. I continue searching and I didn’t fail, I found my seat near the right window at the back part of the bus then I sat.
While waiting for the bus to go I open my backpack, get my earpiece, plug it to my ears and play my mp3 player for me not to get bored. I play the song titled “Kismet” which is sung by the local band named ‘Silent Sanctuary’.
On the middle part of the song, I feel that the bus starts it’s engine and it only means that we are about to go. With eyes closed, I am deeply struck on this lyrics which down to my heart. “Pride no longer has room in me; On bended knees in public I cry your name for everyone to know that I love you.. I love you Please don’t leave now-..”I suddenly stop and unplug the earpiece from my ears to see what is my co-passengers are looking at. Their eyes were on the direction on the left side of the bus. I tried to seek for what they are looking but I failed. Since I’m on the right side of the bus so I didn’t see it and the bus were about to leave the terminal. I just heard an awful voice of girl on the megaphone shouted the word “Why?” then continue her cry.
After hearing the word “Why?” which the girl had shouted, something bothered me. Then I start asking myself “Why would I have to go and leave this town where I spent my 16 years of life?” “I must leave. For me to find myself, to fulfil my dreams and to forget Janna Ramirez.
I want to forget the bitter things which happened to me here, I want my life to start a new and I will look for someone who will sweeten and relieve the pain and heartaches in my life.”
And I didn’t notice that the tears on my eyes start falling as I remember the foolishness of mine for loving that Janna Ramirez, that girl who made my heart broken into pieces.
(FLASHBACK)
“..94...95...96...97...98.......99- It’s my 99th day of standing outside the doll factory. And I can say that days have passed because I remember when I started standing there, The tree which gave me shade when the sun’s hotness is killing me is now bald and only has two leaves left. Just like the roof where I climbed just to glance in Janna’s beauty is now colour orange because of rust. It only means that I have been standing for many days and I can prove to myself that my love for Janna was real.”
“Do I have to continue to stand till one day? Yes I loved her but I can’t make myself fool because I know for myself that She had been in loved with her boss, Mr. Tan a rich man whom is the owner of the small factory of dolls.”
I remember that day when I am about to go to the factory with my gift for Janna on her birthday, I saw her entering the car of her boss. I want to shout and refuse her not to go but I can’t. Because I saw the happiness and excitement on the glimpse of her eyes. Then Mr. Tan drive on their way. They are laughing on and on. I didn’t move my stare to them until they vanish on my sight. I’m just stuck on the small street and didn’t continue my feet to walk towards the factory. Since I knew that Janna had left.
