Chapter twenty six
“Selective Amnesia.”
“Po?”
“Selective Amnesia ang tawag sa situation ng pinsan mo. Nakukuha daw yan sa sobrang pag-iisip sa isang tao. It’s either sobra mo syang mahal or sobra kang galit sa kanya. Well, we all know what Jared felt towards Blair. "
“It’s pure love.”
“Of course! That’s what the doctor told me. Nagkaroon ng mild damage yung maliit na part ng brain ni Jared which is responsible sa emotions niya. Walang makapagsasabi kung kelan maaalala ni Jared si Blair. Pwedeng weeks, months, years or it may even took forever para maalala siya ni Jared.”
“Ohh no.” Napatakip na lang ako ng bibig ko sa nalalaman ko. Pa’no na nyan? I can’t afford to see Blair suffering again.
“But you know what Julie? I’m not really threatened sa condition ni Jared. It’s Blair that bothers me the most.”
Tumayo siya malapit sa window at tinignan ang mga stars. Napakalayo ng tingin niya.
“You know, Blair experienced so much suffering nung nagbabantay siya kay Jared. We can’t afford to lose her. Jared won’t sacrifice his life for someone who don’t deserve his love so I think Blair must be really important to him.” She paused. “But lately, sa mga nangyayari I don’t think kakayanin pa ni Blair ito mag-isa. Lalo na ngayon dahil tingin ni Jared ay girlfriend niya pa rin si Zy. I think that was 5 years ago?”
“Yes Tita, and their relationship didn’t went too well.”
“I know… Blair is shining brightly in her own ways. So bright that she can also bring brightness to the people around her. Ayokong mawala yung liwanag na yun Julie. That’s one of the reasons kung bakit gustong-gusto ko siya. Natatakot ako na baka sa mga nangyayari ay sukuan niya si Jared. He needs her. Alam mo naman siguro kung paano nagbago si Jared di’ba? What if bumalik siya sa dati dahil hindi na niya naaalala si Blair?”
“That won’t happen Tita. Jared’s brain must’ve been forgotten Blair but Jared’s heart won’t. That’s for sure.”
“As expected from you. That’s why I like you, Julie. You’re always optimistic. So ano na ba yung balak niya?”
“Just go with the flow.”
“What do you mean? She won’t tell Jared that she’s his girlfriend?”
“That’s my initial reaction when I heard that, Tita. Pero, Ayaw daw po niyang biglain si Jared. Ang gusto niya si Jared mismo ang makaalala sakanya. Kaya kinausap ko na po yung barkada na wag banggitin ang kahit ano tungkol sa kanya.” She’s still looking at the stars. Jared’s mom loves to see the stars. . . so much.
“Okay. But let me remind you, this might be harder for all of you. Lalo na ngayon na nandyan si Zy. Are you sure na kaya niyo?”
“It hard but it’s not impossible right? Besides, after all those things that Blair had gone through? She’s a one tough girl tita.”
“Okay then. Tomorrow, Jared will be back in school so suit yourselves."
St. Claire High
“Srsly, Blair? How can you still eat ice cream in this kind of situation you are in?”-Cheska
“Haha! It’s a stress reliever Chessy.. Want some?”
“Eww. Gross. No thanks.”- Cheska.
Siguro nagtataka kayo kung nasan kami no? Nandito kami sa tambayan ng barkada. Well it’s kind of saddening kasi Nick went to the states just after the accident happened. Well who can blame him? There’s a great University there who offered him a scholarship. Huh! Forever alone na ako dito.
