Having some quality time with Sarah is definitely a stress reliever. We just laugh, talking about random thing and out of this world topic. Great... I just need this kind of time, where I can forget reality, forget about him, forget what Jerome said, and forget all my speculations.
“You’re zooming out again” Sarah snap me back to reality. We’re here at a certain cafe along Taft Avenue where we used to hang out back in our college days.
“Sorry besh... ano ulit yun?” I smile apologetically to Sarah who seem annoyed to me right now.
“Tsk.. I said nothing’s change here.” Oh.. I get it. I scan my eyes around the cafe. Sarah’s right. Nothing’s change.. the table, chairs, the smell of the cafe and the menu are still the same.
“yeah” I smile dreamily as I remember those great times with them.
“It’s good to be back here Lo” she whispers. Yeah It’s good to be back here.
We chat about our college days. Reminiscing the things that we used to do... the pranks, food trips, meeting the guidance counsellor every year and having community service because of the fucking punishment. I just smile and laugh at the thought of it.
“well maybe the most unforgettable for you when Elmo proposed in front of the student body.” She giggles. I was caught off guard when Sarah brings that thing. Flashes of picture come alive as I saw Elmo kneeling in front of me with a ring on his fingers.
FLASHBACK
I glance at my watch, it’s freaking 12:30 pm and I can hear my stomach growling. I haven’t eaten since yesterday so I expect Elmo to come here early. I saw some students hanging around the field. I will surely miss this place my second home for 8 years. Great.. Graduation is just 2 days away; I should be happy right now.
Where the hell is Elmo? I scan my eyes around to search for him but he’s nowhere to be found. I was shocked when someone grabs my arm and carry me towards the field like a sack of rice. I punch his back with all my might but he’s stronger than I thought. What the hell is going on my mind shouts as the guy still holding my legs in place.
“Shit... get off me.” I shout as I struggle against his hold. Then he stops at the center and settled my feet on the ground.
“Rocco? What the fuck is this?” I gasp as I recognize Rocco, the one who carries me. I glance around and all student all eye on me. I’m really clueless right now.
“Just say yes Lo” Rocco whisper
“What?” I exclaimed but the jerk, just give me a wink and leave the hell out of me. Great.. what’s next? If this is a kind of a joke.. well I’m not buying it. I started to move my feet.. planning to storm away from those eyes that bore on me. But a familiar song started to play.
“I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
Oh all I wanna do is grow old with you”
That voice .. I saw the crowd move and a familiar figure got my eyes instantly. He’s breath taking gorgeous in his black tuxedo. My heart started to beat fast as he started to walk towards me still singing the song.
“I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you “
My eyes started to heat as tears wants to fall. He’ now in front of me..Holding a bouquet of flowers.
