Chapter 27: Recovered diary

Nakaupo lang kami ni Hiro sa may bench ng school. Kakatapos lang ng regular classes namin sa tech kaya nagpahinga nalang kami dito.

Naalala ko bigla ang sinabi saakin ni Akane 2 days ago... About sa soliloquy kuno ni Hiro.

"Where are your glasses?" Biglang tanong ni Hiro saakin. Ang seryoso ng titig niya saakin kaya napalayo ako ng tingin. Ahh! Si Akane at Riye kasi! Tinutukso ako about it. Tch.

"A-ah... Andon sa dorm. 'Di na siya nagfufunction eh."

"Hmmm. I kinda like how you look with it."

"Fetish mo 'yun no?"

"Only when you wear it." He smirked and I cowered.

"Ang daya mo..." Bulong ko and he just laugh some more. Naramdaman ko nalang bigla ang pag-akbay nito saakin.

"Hey... About the date." He softly ask. "Laging napopostphone. Kailan ka ba available?"

Napatawa ako sa pagnguso niya.

"Huwag ka ngang ganyan!" I pinch his cheeks.

"How 'bout now?"

"Wala ng plano plano?"

"Haven't you heard na the best dates are the ones that aren't planned?" He said and grinned wider. Nahawa tuloy ako.

I was about to say sure nung dumating si Sir Hayate.

"Love birds!"

Lumayo tuloy ako ng kakaunti kay Hiro na lumapit naman saakin.

"Sir Hayate." Bati naming dalawa.

"Kids this days." Sir Hayate shook his head at tumingin kay Hiro. "Bata-"

"I'm not a kid."

"Dude. I'll have to borrow your girl first."

"Tsk." Hiro just said pero tumayo na din. Naglahad siya ng kamay saakin at tinanggap ko naman yun. "Only her?"

"Yes. Kaya, mamaya na kayong magdate, aright?"

"Tsk. No need to tell me that." He said and turned to me. "I'll see you."

And he left.

Dinala ako ni Sir Hayate sa office niya. He said na hindi pa din nagsasalita si Jullian pero hindi na ito manlalaban sa kanila. She accepted her defeat already.

"Actually, pinapunta kita dito because of this." Sir Hayate said and handed me an old journal. "Galing yan kay Ms. akemi and if you like, you can be the first to read it."

"T-talaga po?" I said and accepted the journal caregully. Kulay brown ito at natatanggal na ang pagkaleather niya. It looks so ancient...

"Yeah." Sir Hayate said. "Well, I'll leave you with it then?"

Tumango lang ako at nagpaalam na si Sir Hayate.

Mahina ko binuklad ang notebook and mom's sweet writing welcomed me...

January 1

I miss him... This was supposedly be my assassination journal. Ba't naging isang Diary 'to? Of course. Because I'm lovesick and I hate to admit it but I did. I don't know anymore.

January 20

I receive a letter from the headquarters. They're telling me what to do... But I have grown attach to the people here. This is bad. If I want to be accepted, I have to do it the way they wanted it to be.

February 3

The first one was a fail and I don't think I can do the second one. He is getting into me and I'm afraid he might know something about me... About this reality but I didn't want it to end.

February 14

How can I do my task if he won't stop making me feel loved and belong? I hate atama family. They ruined me. But I love them too. They accepted me... For who I am. Not my identity but me.

March 2

I knew it! He found it out. He knows. He knew a long time ago. I have to go back or else I'll harm my people. I need to. If this plan won't work then I would've to face the consequences.

March 3

I can't stop but remember him...

March 30

I regret nothing... Sana alam niya 'yun. Wala akong pinagsisihan sa ginawa namin. But I can't help but think of a tragic ending.

May 5

I wanted to build a family. Will it be possible?

Madami pa siyang naisulat at di ko kayang basahin pa ang lahat. I wonder if nakita na ni Daddy 'to? He'll be devastated, for sure. 'Di ko alam na ganito pala kalalim ang nangyari nung panahon na iyon...

"Sir Hayate... Can I keep this?"

"That has always been yours." Sir Hayate smiled at me.

"Dad..."

"Akemi." Ngiti niya saakin. Yinakap ko muna siya before sitting in the couch. "What brings you here?"

"Ito po..." I said at pinakita sa kanya ang journal. "This is moms..."

"Akemi..." He murmured as he stares at the notebook. Hinawakan niya ito. "Can I... Can I read it?"

"Of course!"

"Thank you." He smiled and opens the journal. Una palang pahina ay nanlabo na ang mata ni Dad. Nilapitan ko na ito at yinakap.

"Dad..."

"I'm okay..." He smiled and continue reading. Ganun ang nangyari hanggang sa hindi na nakayanan ni Dad at tumigil na ito. He just told me that he will tell me a story...

About a girl and a boy who found the right love in the wrong time.

Kahit ako, naiiyak ba sa storya kaya pinatahan muna ako ni Dad bago nagtuloy. Ang dami niyang sinabi and he seems to beam everytime he remembers a good part of the story and crestfallen every time its hurtful.

Napasaya ang kwentuhan namin ni Dad at nagpaalam na ako ng gumabi na.

"Rainie..." Tawag niya saakin bago pa ako makalabas.

"Po?"

"Be careful okay? I can't afford to lose another jewel." Ani lang nito and I smiled at him.

"Opo. And besides... The other jewel is still shining in your heart."

"One of the brightest yet." Ani niya at hinalikan ang buhok ko. "I'm thankful you came in our lives, Rainie."
