CHAPTER 11.5: RUN

"How is he?". Mia asked giving me a coke in a can.

We're at the lounge. She texted me after Paul left. I just sighed. Mukhang akala ko maayos na ngayong araw, Hindi pa pala.

"They bumped into each other". I said.

"Who?". She looked at me and I did the same. "Don't tell me, they met".

I opened the drink she gave me and take a sip. "I thought he will talk to him but he walked out. I talked to Paul and now, I feel like I do understand him now".

"What do you mean?".

"He has his own side of a story". I started. "He said like, how can he face him if he reminded him of their father. How can he face him if he go with him- the reasons why his mom died". Sa bawat salitang binibitawan ko parang nag-iiwan ng gasgas sa aking lalamunan.

How dare am I to say those words to him? Pero ang gusto ko lang ay ang magkaayos silang dalawa. I just wanted to see his smile, his true self, being free from those chain of the past.

"Mukhang wala na tayong magagawa, Sabi sa iyo kung ako walang nagawa paano ka pa?".

"You're here". Someone said. Nilingon namin kung kanino iyon.

"Zack?". I called.

"Uyy, cheap". Rinig kong sabi ng katabi ko. Agad ko siyang nilingon at binigyan ng makahulugang tingin. She just shrugged her shoulders.

Zack cleared his throat. "Let's talk later".

"Tungkol saan?". Sabat ng Isa. Hindi siya nilingon ni Zack at tanging sa akin ang tingin.

"I'll wait at the gate". Huling sabi nito bago umalis. Para akong di makahinga sa mga tinginan ni Mia.

"What is it?". She asked me.

"Ha?". Tanging nasagot ko. "A-ano kasi diba last day ko na kaya ayun".

Bumalik na ko sa klase, matapos ang mga nangyari sa second sub ako pumasok. While si Mia, need niyang pumunta ng club Kasi kailangan pa nilang ayusin at linisin ang club dahil sa naganap na org fair.

I haven't seen Paul since earlier Hindi ko alam kung saan pumunta iyon. Kung ano mang desisyon ang gawin niya Sana, Sana hindi niya pagsisisihan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero parang gustong gusto ko silang magkaayos, siguro Hindi ako nagkaroon ng chance na magkaroon ng kapatid.

"Sophie!". Someone called my name. "May naghahanap sayo". It was Dani our classmate.

"Sino?". I asked. Lumingon ako sa pinto para makit kung sino.

"Andi raw". Sagot nito kaya agad akong napatayo sa kinauupuan ko at dali-daling lumabas.

Hindi pa nga ako nakakalabas agad na nitong hinatak ang braso ko. Medyo lumayo kami sa room, nakasandal kami sa railings nitong hallway.

"Hinahanap mo raw ako?". Panimula ko. "Nasabi rin ni Mia". Hindi ko muna pwedeng sabihin ang koneksyon nilang dalawa ngayon pa na iniingatan ni Andi ang pangalan niya dito sa loob.

Iniisip ko nbaykung bakit ayaw niyang ipaalam na magkapatid sila kahit nga Yung apelyido nila magkaiba eh.

She nodded. "I haven't see Zack and when I went to your room, you're not there either".

"Ah, may importanteng bagay lang akong inasikaso". Sagot ko.

"It's fine, I'm just worried. You know last time that he's out of himself. I'm worried that anytime or soon it will trigger again".
