Slice ng Life

Pang-labing Dalawang Slice

Jet's POV:

I'm on the road going to school. Travel seems to be a bit slow this morning. Probably because of some road repairs going on. While sitting in the car I opened my phone and popped my notes. I downloaded kasi the lyrics of a certain song.

A few days ago kasi I was swimming at home then suddenly I heard the guitar being played while I was under water. Tapos, very familiar yung tune. I know I've heard it before. Parang lolo played it before na in a gathering or what. Then ang tagal ko nang hindi narinig yun until then nga. So I listened carefully to the song. I asked the guy to continue playing it kasi medyo he stopped. So while he was playing it I was really trying hard to remember the title. Until after he played, nag pop sa head ko yung title, "Kahit maputi na ang Buhok ko."

Looking at the lyrics talaga namang ang ganda lang isipin nung song. "Hayyy...will we grow old together? Huh?" I though to my self and of course I was only thinking of Joey. "Corny ba ko?" "It's fine, pag in love talagang corny." With the thought of Joey I opened my phone's calendar and thought to my self, "Ang lapit na."

I peeked through the window and I see life going on and about. Everyone's gotta be somewhere. Everybody has his or her life to live. I don't really know what's with the morning that I'm suddenly being melancholic.

I decided to talk to the Lord that moment. Kasi si Lord lang yung nakakaalam ng everything sa akin, I can't hide anything from Him. In my mind I said, "Lord you know I love you. But Lord why is is that the love that I want to give and the love that I want to receive is deemed wrong? Parang unfair naman yan Lord. To me it doesn't make sense. I didn't want this. If only I could, I'd change myself instantly. But you know I can't. But still Lord, I love you so much and I know that all things in life has your reason and wisdom." After talking to Him, I felt a tear flowing down my cheek so I wiped it. Yang certain topic na yan, madalas naming talk ni Lord yan but until now I don't have the answers.

"Sir Jet, nandito na po tayo." I was suddenly brought back to the moment with kuya Alex's words. So I said, "thanks kuya," and left the car.

School went on as usual. And as of the moment, our subject teacher is absent so we're just hanging around the room doing whatever pleases ourselves. Most of my classmates are sleeping though, some are busy with their gadgets, while me and my friends are just here on our spot talking.

"Jet, is the thing on Saturday still on?" Erikson asked me.

"Of course. Huwag kayong late ha." I told these three.

"Are you asking me Jet? If you want I'd sleep there na eh. Alam mo naman ako, always on the go." Said Carl who was eating his chips.

"I'll choose the place to eat and what we'll watch okay." Said Neil who was getting some of Carl's chips.

"Yeah. Whatever. As long as you won't make me wait like forever. Akala nyo nalimutan ko na yung last time. One hour Neil. We were waiting for you for an hour." I told him with a very irritated tone.

"Move on na Jet, last week pa yun eh. What can I do, yung driver ko nag leave." -Neil

"Anyways have you guys completed na yung homework sa Chem?" Asked by Erikson as he suddenly changed the topic. When he said that, I can't help but remember what happened some days back when one of our helpers called me "Doc." I felt very happy when he called me that. "Hayyy, Doc Jet." I was spacing out.

"Jet! Jet! Hellooo Jet!" - Erikson

I snapped. "What?"

"Yung homework finished mo na?" He repeated.

"Yeah, last month pa." I answered quickly.

"Pa smile smile ka dyan habang nag daday dream." Carl observed.
