You And Me Does Exist (Short Story)

“Hey, Can I sit next to you?”-simula nung kinausap ako ng lalaking to. Hindi pa ako nagsasalita umupo na siya. Tinignan kong maigi ung mukha niya. Nakangiti siya.Iniisip ko na baka pagtritripan lang ako neto. Siguro narinig na niya ung rumor na , Somebody like me does’nt exist..

Tinignan ko siyang maigi. Tas ngumiti lang siya saken at sinabi ang katagang “Bakit ang lungkot mo naman? Haha. Wala kang kaibigan no?Then, can u be my friend?”-sabi nya na nagayaya na makipag handshake.

Tinignan ko siya nang inosente tas dahan dahan ako nakipag handshake “Thank you.”

Nag daldalan kami bago dumating yung teacher. Napatanga ako nung cnabi niyang Angelo ang pangalan niya (like my name Angela). Namatay na daw ung mga magulang nya. Wala na rin syan g mahanap na kamag-anak. Oh God, we are both lonely. But how this guy smiling??

Here I am, walking next to my crush. This guy is my BESTFRIEND. Bestfriend ko na may paglihim akong pagtingin two weeks ago.Sometimes, I almost break my heart when he’s saying “Tnx bestfriend”with a sweet smile on her face. Kaibigan lang ba turing niya sakin. But even I love this guy, hindi ako nag dalawang isip na magtapat sakaniya. Why would I? Why would I tried to break our friendship? I’m scared. I’m scared na layuan ako ng kaisa isang tao na nagturo saken na  that I’m also existed like other students.

 And when my thoughts flying a way,

*BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG*

It was like, the scene flash in my mind again and again. I was paralyze. The blood was spreading on the road . I don’t know what should I do. Shout or cry? Cry or shout? A car bumped him. Oh God.

[Next Day]

At the Hospital;

“I’m afraid to say na, mukang hindi pa siya aabot ng buhay bukas.”-said the doctor calmly.Napaisip ako. A man was almost die why this doctor always act calmy ??

I did’nt respond what doctor’s said. I just walked away , na parang wala sa sarili. Tama nga ang rumor. Malas akong tao. Kaya wala akong kaibigan dahil magnet ako ng malas. Namatay ang lahat ng mga pamilya ko. Pati ang kaisa isa kong bestfriend nung gradeschool namatay rin. Mukang hindi na coincidence ang lahat. Dahil bago sila mamatay, kasa-kasama nila ako. Ano gusto niyong ipamuka sakin god?

Nakita ko nalang ang sarili ko. Nakaupo sa isang bench . Umiikot sa isip na “bukas na mamamatay ang crush ko, and yet. Wala parin siyang alam na may gusto ako sakanya”.

“Why god, kung totoo ka. Bakit mo hindi mo ko tinutulangan sa mga problema ko? Or ikaw ang gumagawa ng problema ko?”-I murmur. “If somebody exist like you, then thought me how to exist too…”

PumuntaThen a light bright shine in my eyes. Brighter than the glowing star. More pretty than the color white. Seems to be as light as heaven. I stand properly. I was walking. No, I'm running onto hospital. I’m surprise to myself. It’s like my brain stop working. But it was seems my heart and soul was controlling it. I was inspired. Is this what they called hope?

I'm almost tired when I notice myself running through the Operation Room. But someone stopped me "Ma'am, sorry but you are not allowed to enter"

My self pushing me to enter the room. I want to stop myself but I could not. I do not know what I'm doing. I pushed away the people who tried to block the door. I’m was thinking where this strength come from?

And I was success to enter the room. But there was no one in the bed.

I feel shock.

And also the doctor and stuffs.  They was surprised  when did Angelo go. I thought Angelo was die because he wasn’t in the bed. But the people around me perceived to be innocent. I inspect the bed. I don’t found any but a NOTE.

A note that make me believe to god

“Sorry if I leave so soon But I’m only a god’s reflect creation. God create me to washed way your pains. I’m was only a reflection of you. When  I first meet you, I saw that you was lack of faith hope, love and happiness. Bear in your mind, although the scars of yesterday remain. You can keep on living as much as your heart believes. When the flowers will bloom renewed again, knowing there's more beyond the pain of today. You can't be born again .All though you can change. I knew from the start all of ur feeling. Cause I’m a reflection of you. Thanks for everything.”
