“One cappuccino and a Chocó honey dipped doughnut please.”A customer said to a waitress from a distance.
“Is that all ma’am?”
“Yes please.”
“Then what happened next to Ivy and Theo?” Asked by the person in front of me.
“Obviously they returned to Wattpad City and continued their studies.”
“Aaaw. It didn’t work out between them? I thought they end up together! Geeeze, why does everything need to be a tragic ending? I’m so upset.” She’s really adorably cute when she’s upset. I can’t help it but to giggles because of her reactions.
“Why are you laughing at me?”
“Well, that’s because you’re too cute. Anyway, where did we stop?”
“We stop at on one of your memorable day.” She said while slicing a large portion of a strawberry cake.
“Hmmmm, right. After a week, the class resumed….”
The school bell ringed and the students on the hallway were now going to their classes. It’s been more than a week since the last time I’ve been on our school that time. I opened my locker and I saw a piece of paper fell down on the floor. I looked around to see if someone’s watching me from a distance but I caught no one. I heaved a sigh as I get my things on my locker. ‘You can do it Ivy!’ I said to myself. Then I opened the letter, it was hand written and to my surprised it’s from him.
“Hey, how was your break?”
“Huh?” I got confused with my friend’s questioned.
“Your semestral break. Duh are you out of your mind? What’s wrong?”
“Oh. Nothing, I’m fine, thank you. Tara na mamaya ma-late pa tayo sa klase natin.”
Hinila ko na sya papunta sa room namin. Mahirap na mamaya magtanong nanaman sya at hindi ko na alam if kakayanin ko pang maglihim sa harap ng kaibigan ko.
Dumaan ang first period and second period na lumulutang ako sa kalawakan. I knew that they noticed my behavior and crap; I have to prepare an explanation right away.
‘We need to talk. Meet me at lunch on school’s ground. –PYG’
I can’t help it but to stare at that piece of paper given by him. I didn’t know if I’m ready to talk to him that day but out of the blue, a memory flashed on my head, ‘Every time is always a right timing’. I smiled widely and told myself that I’m ready to talk to him.
“Ivy, ayos ka lang ba?” Jhoshelle a friend of mine asked.
“oo naman no. ako pa.” sagot ko sa kanya with a smile on my face.
“Ok na ba kayo ni boyfie mo?” Lichelle another friend of mine asked. Tssk, they were always so worried about me.
“Never better, Chelle. Tara recess na tayo?”
“Leggo! Gutom na gutom na kaya ko. Di kasi ako nakapag almusal kanina dahil baka malate nanaman ako.” Chieschelle another friend of mine, said.
We’re eating our snacks that time when Chelle broke the silence between us.
“So, what did you do last week?”
“Yea, what did you do? I heard you went out with your family on a trip.” Di pa nga ko nun nakaka sagot sa tanong ni Chelle, dinugtungan agad ni Shelle.
“Nakapag isip- isip ka naman na siguro sa trip niyo ng family niyo no?”
Bago ko sagutin ang mga katanungan nila, I smiled first then I was about to tell them what exactly happened when suddenly I saw a familiar face.
“Teka lang guys ha. Pause muna ang narration ko, may kakausapin lang ako saglit. Dyan lang kayo. 5 minutes. Promise. Heres my phone; isasanla ko muna sa inyo para siguradong babalik din ako agad-agad,”
I didn’t wait for their response. Tumayo agad ako sa kinauupuan ko at nagtungo sa dinaanan ng familiar na mukha sakin.
Medyo malaki- laki rin ang cafeteria kaya medyo nahirapan akong hanapin siya. Pero habang hinahanap ko siya nun, all of our memories together flashes on my head.
‘When you don’t know what to choose between these and that, you should try trusting your instincts.’ Sinabi niya nung pakiramdam ko nawawala kami sa isang lugar.
Nakakatawa ngang sipin na sa sobrang ikling panahon na mag kasama kami, andami kong natutunan nang dahil sa kanya. From that day, I trusted my instincts to find him.
Nung una, medyo nawawalan na ko ng tiwala sa sarili ko na mahahanap ko siya sa cafeteria pero, ‘Never give up on things you wanted so bad, parang ‘yung pambansang tshirt ng Pinas.’ Sabi niya sakin nung naka salubong kami ng 27 katao na naka ‘Never Give Up’ na damit sa mall. Kaya hindi ko tinigil ang paghahanap sa kanya.
Ganun pala yung pakiramdam nang, parang ,hay, ang hirap ipaliwanag kasi maski ako, hindi ko rin alam kung ano nga ba ang nararamdaman ko nun.
Liko sa kaliwa, kanan, harap, likod, gilid, sulok pero wala parin ang pamilyar na mukha.
‘On that, on where I stand, I can see a lot of tiny happy folks. That’s the place where you can find me; always.’
Upon remembering his words, I hurriedly go back on our table. kasi alam kong nowhere to be found siya sa cafeteria.
“Guys I need to tell you something.” I told them pero hindi parin nila ko pinapansin dahil lahat sila busy sa kakatitig sa isagn piraso ng papel na nakalathala sa table.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a letter for you.” I was confused on what they said. At first I thought the letter was from PYG kaya kinabahan ako.
‘Confused? See me on high, perhaps never on low. Wanting to see me? Oh well, Hi; said my mouth. -FTFW’
