Farrah

“Napaka-unpredictable mong tao,” Mahinang natawa si Chanler sa sinambit ko.

“Mukhang paiyak ka na kasi kagabi,” Tugon nito sa akin.

“Bakit naman ako iiyak?”

“Hindi ka naman naghiwa ng sibuyas, you tell me.”

“Ewan ko sayo,” I rolled my eyes.

“But seriously, Farr, nasaktan ka ba sa nakita mo?” He asked directly.

Kung sasabihin kong oo, may magbabago ba?

“Hindi, I’m actually happy for him,” I replied instead.

Medyo totoo namang masaya ako para sa kaniya. He looks happier now, his eyes are even sparkling at that specific time— an indication that he’s already fulfilled with joy and contentment.

Nawa’y lahat.

“That’s good, Farr. I’m proud of you,” Ginulo ni Chanler ang buhok ko bago nito pisilin ang ilong ko.

“Nga pala...” He paused for a bit and looked up at the sky.

“Ano ‘yon?” Tanong ko sakaniya.

“Next month or next year, I’ll probably be gone,” He looked at me.

Things are already fxcked up as it was, ngayon mawawala pa si Chanler?

“What do you mean?” I was intrigued.

“What do you think do I mean by that, Farr?” He smirked.

Leche, ang dami nang problema, pag-iisipin niya pa ako.

“Are you dying already? Please Angelo, that’s not a good joke,” He bursted out laughing upon seeing me, almost begging for him to stop fooling around.

“What made you think that?” Tanong nito sa akin.

“You said you will be gone, tinanong kita kung anong tinutukoy mo pero pinag-iisip mo ako. Alam mo namang mahina ang kokote ko minsan, gaganyan ka pa.”

Muli nitong ginulo ang buhok ko, “Stop saying mean things to yourself, Farrah.” He smiled at me, “You never even failed to amuse me, you’re a one hella ray of sunshine.” He added.

“Para talaga kayong baliw,” Tinanggal ko ang kamay niyang nakapatong sa ulo ko.

“Gusto ko pag-alis ko, you won’t belittle yourself anymore or else hindi na ako babalik at magpapakita sayo.”

Napaisip ako sa sinambit niya, babalik at magpapakita naman pala siya edi hindi siya mamamatay, ‘di ba?

“Oo na,” Napipilitan kong sagot dito.

“Pinky swear muna,” Itinaas nito ang pinky finger niya, dahilan upang mahina akong matawa.

“Ano tayo, bata?” Pang-aasar ko rito.

“Dali na, naniniwala ako rito e.” Huminto ito saglit para samaan ako ng tingin, “And don’t try to violate this promise, may magrereport sa akin kapag ginawa mo ‘yun!” He followed.

And with that, I officially made a pact with Angelo.
