Meant to be Together

Chapter Eleven

Brian’s POV

I saw Kyle fixing her things at mukhang bad trip. Bigla namang nagsulputan sa tabi ko ang mga babae kong classmates and they surrounded me. Cool huh?! Para na akong celebrity.

A girl sat beside and “Hi! I’m Misty!” flirt siya obviously, with her flirting accent and movements.

“Brian” sinagot ko nalang.

“So you know Kyle, right?” she intrigued. “What’s with the two of you?”

“Sabi ko nga batch mate kami.” Lumingon naman ako sa direction ni Kyle at naisipan na naman na pag-tripan siya.  I think? “We meet… ahm??”

“How tell us?” another girl.

“Sa cafeteria ng old school namin” I started.

End of Brian’s POV

“Sa cafeteria…” I heard him saying as I went out with Cloeh.

“Pinag-chichismisan ka na sa loob” asar ni Cloeh.

“Ka-bad trip talaga ngayong araw ah” gigil ko. “Kung hindi lang bawal pumatay, naku! napatay ko na yang OGRE na 'yan”

“Cool ka lang Kyle” she giggled. “Baka mag-mess ang dugo niya sa floor natin huh”

“Grr…” bigla naman sumulpot si Josh.

“Palamig ka muna.” Before I say a word, sinalpak na niya yung straw ng iced tea in plastic na dala niya.

“Sa’yo ‘yan, alam ko naman uusok ka na naman sa nalaman mo”

So I sipped and “Thanks!”

Pumunta muna kami ng locker room para kunin yung science kit namin. May experiment kasi kami and one of my favorite part is ang pag-dadisect.

“Huh?!” I surprised.

“Kyle, bago ‘yan ah” sabay tingin din ni Cloeh sa locker ko.

“Blue rose?” Josh amazed. “Yan ang fave rose mo, right?”

Nakatulala pa rin ako. “O--o”

“And only three of us know it” si Cloeh. “But I think there’s other one.”

“How much I kept the secret of this?” pagka-isip-isp ko “Sino ang nakaalam?”

From all the stuffs I always receive from my locker, yung blue rose lang ang kinuha ko. As I got home, sa kwarto kaagad ako at kawak-hawak pa rin ang rose. Naupo ako sa harap ng study table ko at tinititigan pa rin ito.

“Tara!” he holds my hand.

“San tayo pupunta?” I aked.

“Basta!” he winked at nagpatuloy kami sa pagtakbo.

We kept running I can feel the cool breeze. And we stopped.

“Wait lang.” nilagyan ng takip yung mga mata ko.

“Ano ‘to?” pagtataka ko.

“Basta.” He said. “Hawak ka lang sakin” he put my hand to his. “Just follow me.”

All I can see are darkness but ramdam ko pa rin yung init ng kamay niya.

‘’Asan na ba tayo?”

“Malapit na!” after a minute, we stooped “We’re here! Pwede mo na iyan tanggalin.”

I saw a huge church. Oo simbahan at napaganda at napakalaking simbahan.

“What are we doing in here?”

He looked at me. “To make a promise”

“Promise?”

He knelt to the ground and said “Here’s a blue rose.” I took it and he stand. “Tara!”

We run inside, in the aisle “Anong gagawin natin?” we reached the altar.

“Now I’ll promise.” I felt the tender from his words. “Kahit magka-layo tayo, I will…”

“Huh?!” hindi ko pa rin alam ang sasabihin niya but I can feel the L-O-V-E he was saying...

“I will…”

The blue rose fall from my hand.

“Dream? Panaginip lang ulit.” I muttered.

I pick up the rose and placed it in a small vase at nilagay sa table malapit sa bed ko. Hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip kung sino yung bata sa panginip ko at kung ano yung promises namin sa isa’t isa.
