Paper Planes

Chapter 1

Xyries P.O.V.

Here at school.. Crying.. Don't know what to do. Mamaya na kasi funeral ng Dad ko and ayaw ko siyang makitang nakahiga sa libingan. I understand naman kung bakit niya ako iniwan at hindi niya yun kasalanan. Ang cancer ang may kasalanan! Hays. Buti na lang andito sina Rylie, Elishah and Nicole. They always make me happy and Rylie said I can live with them and every expenses from me ay babayaran na daw nila. Mayaman kasi sila so I really thanked her much. "Ms. Villanueva!" Sigaw ng teacher ko. Napahiya ako sa mga kaklase ko kasi nagdadaydream pala ako. Hays. Kinakausap ko na naman sarili ko-,- why oh why??

Then suddenly, the bell rang. Thanked God! I immediately went to my locker to get all of my things and nagdadalawang isip kung pupunta ba ako sa funeral ng Dad ko. Buti na lang, nakasalubong ko sila. "Rylie! Elishah! Nicole!" tawag ko sa kanila. "So ano? Pupunta ka ba sa funeral kami ay pupunta pati mom ko." Sabi ni Nicole na pinsan ko.

"Hindi ko nga sure parang ayaw ko pa siyang makita".

"Okay lang yan, naandito naman kami. Magdadala talaga ako ng isang bag ng panyo para punasin mo lahat ng mga luha mo hahaha"

Alam kong pinapatawa nila ako pero walang effect eh. Nakita nila ang kalungkutan sa aking muka.

"Don't be sad. We are always here for you" sabi ni Elishah. Tapos bigla namang sumulpot ang joker kong pinsan na si Nicole "Happy lang haha" syempre natawa ako. So I decided na I will go to my Dad's funeral. After all, he is still my father and nothing can change that. And also I want to tell everyone that I really thank my Dad for his big support for me and for taking care of me since I was a baby. I am at my closet. Still crying about that. But still, I need to be positive because I still have my life to be continued and to be spend happily.

At the funeral, all my positive emotions turned to negative when I saw my father. I cried a lot. Yung pinsan ko, pinromise niya talaga yung kanina at nagdala nga ng isang bag ng panyo. I thought that she is just kidding. She is really serious about that though. Then, nung pupunta na ako sa harap upang magsalita, tumingin muna ako sa father ko bago magpatuloy sa pagsasalita.

"Alam niyo ba siya yung pinakacool na Dad. We always bond to each other. We eat our favoritw snack----French Fries! Hayss. I really miss those days. But now that he is gone, I don't know what to do. If I should get happy because I still live in this Earth or cry because my father died. I understand Mom and Dad if you passed away early because it's not your fault, its because of the diseases. Laging sinasabi sa akin ni Dad na magpakatatag daw ako. Dapat daw always happy ako dahil ano na naman daw mangyayari sa life ko kung puro iyak na lang daw ako. We should make our life even better daw kasi utang lang naman daw natin ito sa Diyos. He told me before his last breath na he will always right by my side. Oooh. So scary haha. All I wanted to say to them is "Job well done". Because you sacrifice everything to yourselves just to make me happy. I appreciate what you have done to me and I really thank you for that. Thank you!"

And then I walked towards my seat and cried. I saw everyone crying because of my speech and I appreciate that.

Nung nakarating na ako sa bahay, nakita ko maid ko. "Goodafternoon :(" sabi ko.

"Sorry for your loss po."

"Okay lang, pack ka na ng things mo sabay na tayong pumuntang sakayan"

"Sige po, pack na na din po"

Then, we went to our rooms and I saw our family photo.

"Hays, bakit kasi ngayon pa kailangan niyo nang mawala pede naman sa 100 decades pa kayo mamatay ah basta makasama ko pa rin kayo:(". Then nilagay ko yung photo na yun sa bag ko at nilagay ko na din mga damit at important things.

Nung nasa labas na kami ng bahay, I said, "Goodbye memories, I will miss you :("
