The Hymn of Red Asters ( Season 1)

Chapter 3

It's Lunch time already and I'm afraid to eat inside the canteen because there's alot of people right there

that's why I decided to go outside and look for a bench or maybe under the tree

"Hmm, hmm."

I jumped when I heard someone's sobbing

I roamed my eyes everywhere and there she go, I saw Ongsa on the bench under the tree with a long table

she's covering her face at hindi man lang ginagalaw ang lunch box nya

kahit ayaw nya sakin, sinubukan ko paring lapitan sya

"Ongsa." I called her but she didn't answer

"I don't understand her hmmm." I rattled when she cried "sometimes she's good but all the time she's bad." she suddenly open up and faced me

Oh

I took a deep breath and sit beside her

"Is she your friend?" I asked

she shook her head vigorously

"Then why you are sitting beside her? or obeying what her wants?"

"I Don't know, I just feel like I need to."

Ako na umopen ng lunch box nya at nag umpisa nakong kainin ang pagkain ko, time is running by the way

"Lumipat tayo ng upuan, sit with me at the back."

"But-"

"Magagalit si Sun? bakit sinubukan mo naba nung una?"

umiling sya

"See? you're not standing up for yourself.. we're friends now, we have no one here by the way."

she's still unconvinced but I ignored her

"Just eat."

she's not crying anymore and eat properly

"Thanks." sabi nito.

Napatingin ako sakanya at ngumiti lang sya

"Transferee?"

"Hmm hindi."

"Eh ano? naging multo ka dito for 4 years?"

I chuckled

"Homeschooled."

Her eyes widened.

"Woah, you missed the highschool life." she blurted out

Yeah

I missed everything

but the good thing is..

I have a freedom now

"atleast I still have 2 years to experience highschool life right?"

she nodded and continue eating her food

A strong breeze hit my face that's why I tied my hair in a ponytail

Ugh I really love nature, it ralaxes my senses, ang daming puno kasi dito sa open field ng school

*Slap

"Masaya kapa sa ginagawa mo? pinagtitiisan nalang kita Zian, isang kahihiyan ang maging girlfriend mo."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Ongsa at gulat sa nasaksihan

nasa malayong bench sa harapan namin ay nag tatalo si saro at zian, kanina paba sila dyan?

nag uusap pa sila pero hindi nanamin naririnig, sumigaw kasi si saro kanina eh

she pushed him but Zian pulled her forcedly kaya napatayo ako bigla at napahila naman agad sa braso ko si ongsa
