Love Is A Battlefield

CHAPTER 18

M POV

FIRST DAY na ng School Fair. I was looking for Kreine kasi di ko siya nakita kanina pa. 5pm na hanggang gabi naman yung school fair. 1 week celebration.
Nagka hiwalay kasi kami ng nandito na kami sa school.
Birthday ko pa naman ngayon tapos di ko siya kasama.
Baka nasa Auditorium siya.

Pumunta ako sa Auditorium pero wala siya dun sabi ng mga kasama niya.
Pumunta ako sa classroom niya at naka salubong ko naman si L na mukhang may hinahanap.

"L!"

Tawag ko sa kanya.

"Have you seen J? Kanina ko pa siya hinahanap eh"

Umiling siya.

"Hinahanap ko din siya"

"Kuya L! M!"

Napalingon kami ng makita naming tumatakbo papunta samen si Inna.

"O bakit Inna?"

Tanong ni L.
She looked worried.

"K-kasi si Ate K-kreine. She fainted. Nasa Gym siya"

Agad kaming tumakbo ni L sa Music Room.
Shit! Anong nangyari?!
Pagpasok namin, the Gym was dark.
Napatingin kami sa malaking projector ng biglang nag flash ang mga pictures namin ni Kreine since nung mga bata pa kami.

The song playing is Jason Chen's Still In love.
I stood there frozen.
I looked at L and he was smiling

Ano to?

Biglang dumating si Jungkook at Inna, kasama si Jimin at Irish.
They were smiling at me.
Dinala ako sa stage at the switched turned on.

I was shocked. Ang ganda kasi ng Gym. It was designed with Blue and white balloons, curtains etc. Mas nagulat ako kasi almost all students are here.

The song changed.
I know this song..
(Playing Love U by Howl)

Biglang naghiyawan ang mga students kaya napalingon ako sa likod ko.
She's smiling at me. Habang may hawak siyang microphone.
She looked so beautiful wearing a blue dress and her hair was curled.

"Hi"

She said. Di ako makapag salita.

"Sorry kung biglaan pero better do it now than never haha"

She chuckled.
Nagsalita ulit siya. She's holding my hand.

"M, first of all i want to say Thank you. Kasi bumalik ka. Thank you for loving me. Ever since kids, magkasama na tayo. Second, I'm Sorry"

She stopped. Her tears were falling but she's still smiling. I don't know why pero bakit parang may mali sa kanya?

Nagsalita na naman siya

" And lastly, I want you to know that no matter what happens i want you to be happy. I have loved you and i will always love you. Happy Birthday Bae"

I hugged her tight.
The crowds cheered ang biglang umulan ng feathers at balloons.

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Sigaw ng mga tao.
Tumawa kami. I looked at her.

"Bae, Kiss daw"

She laughed and leaned closer
She wrapped her arms around my neck and we kissed.
Mas lalong nag ingay ang crowd at nagpalakpakan pa sila.

Biglang umakyat yung Prof nila sa Music and greeted me.
Nagpasalamat naman ako at pumunta na kami sa backstage.

Nandun ang mga kapatid niya at sina L.
I hugged her

"Thank you Bae. I never thought na gagawin mo yun"

She smiled and hugged me.

"Anything for you"

"Kyaaaaaa! Ang sweet niyo!"

Tili ni Inna at Irish. Nagtawanan lang kami. We went out. Just the two of us.
Pumunta kami sa open beach. It's almost sunset at ang sarap ng hangin dito.

Tahimik lang kaming naglakad lakad.
Kreine broke the silence.

"I love you M. Always remember that. Okay?"

She said but she wasn't looking at me. She was looking at the sunset.
I saw a tear fell from her eyes.
She smiled bitterly.
Is there something wrong?

"Bae, is something wrong?"

Kinabahan ako. Ewan ko kung bakit.
She looked at me. Umiling siya. Now she's smiling.

"Can you promise me one thing?"

She asked
Lumapit ako sa kanya. I hugged her.
Bakit feeling ko may mawawala samin? Napaparanoid na ako

"Anything"

Huminga siya ng malalim.
She hugged me back

"Promise me, that you won't forget me"
