Para sa Second Chance

Untold - I

Chinno

"Salamat sa tulong Kuya Jay. I owe you one." pasasalamat ko sa may-ari ng autoshop na bumili ng motor ko.

"This girl must be really special para ibenta mo si baby." he said patting the motorcycle seat.

"Yeah, she is." Totoo naman, her worth is more than anything I own or have. "Pa'no Kuya? Alis na ako, salamat sa tulong ulit."

"Goodluck buddy." Niyakap niya ako sandali, "Dalhin mo siya dito minsan."

Tumango lang ako at umalis na. I just recently found out about her scholarship in Boston and with all the trouble between me and Kuya Inigo, mas nagkaron ako ng rason na umalis kasama siya.

Alam kong mali dahil napakabata pa naming dalawa pero naniniwala akong kahit anong mangyari, para kami sa isa't isa. Kaagad akong pumayag nung niyaya niya kong umalis at lumayo. In two days time, aalis kaming magkasama. May sapat na naman akong pera para sa pag-alis namin, I think I have saved enough, malaki din ang nakuha ko after I selling my Mitsubishi Lancer and my motorcycle. I just told my mon that I'll be buying a new car kaya pinayagan akong magbenta ng sasakyan. Also, Paolo and Adrian lend me some money to complete my target 2M. Bukod kasi kay Alex, sila lang dalawa ang may alam ng plano ko.

Dumerecho ako sa basketball court ng village namin ni Arcee. Adrian and Paolo was waiting for me there. Pagdating ko naman, naglalaro na ang dalawang ungas. Second day of exams namin bukas pero heto kami ngayon, hindi nag-aaral. Their faces were epic nung nakita nila akong bumaba sa tricycle.

"Oh anong problema niyo?" I asked.

"Nakakapanibago g@go." Adrian cursed.

"Wasn't that the first time you rode a tricycle?" Paolo asked.

"Well, there's always a first. Para naman kay Pammy eh." I proudly answered.

Gagawin ko naman talaga lahat para kay Pammy.

"I still don't approve though. I mean, we're only 16 dude." - Adrian

"I agree and what if you get her pregnant bro? Anong gagawin mo?" - Paolo

"I'll try not to." sagot ko and I mean it. I'll wait for two years to marry her first.

"That's impossible Chinno, ikaw pa?" Paolo said and both of them laughed.

"Mga g@go talaga." I said and just laughed with them.

"Gwapo kamo." - Paolo

Natahimik kaming tatlo. Nararamdaman kong hindi nila talagang gustong ituloy ko ang plano ko dahil mukhang hanggang ngayon ay pipilitin nila akong magback out. But they know me, I can never do that to Pammy. I am just thankful that even if they're against to this whole Tanan plan, they got my back on this.

"So, what's the plan?" si Adrian ang bumasag ng katahimikan.

"We'll leave on Saturday. Pupunta kami sa bahay namin sa Baguio to spend the night there tapos derecho kami sa Sagada." Buong plano ko ang sinabi ko sa kanila dahil tiwala naman akong kahit ibitin ang dalawang 'to sa puno, hinding hindi nila ako ilalaglag.
