Interval Chapter--- Angels Brought Me Here

Angelo’s POV

                               When Ems turned his back, I wanted to call him and tell him that he should enjoy the fest. I waited for him to look back at me but he didn’t.

                               I ride a taxi while my mind is flying. Hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko yung nangyari kagabi. I can’t even forget the feeling. When my heart beats fast and felt like I was struck by a lightning nung nagkatitigan kami. No. No. I’m just his guide. This is just a feeling of excitement.

                              I just look outside and I saw something familiar. We’re at the school’s lane and I saw him. The feeling of loneliness. I really miss him so much. I haven’t said goodbye to him before I die.

               “Migs.” Nabulong ko na lang as we passed them.

                             Migs is my only bestfriend. I met him at highschool. Nag click kami agad because maybe we have the same life. I mean, a sad life. He is a product of  broken family. Laging nag-aaway yung mga magulang niya. His father always beat his Mom up and they end up crying. Hanggang sa magdesisyong maghiwalay yung mga magulang niya. The worst part is, no one choose him. Iniwan siya ng Mom and Dad niya sa Ate niya. Yes. She has a sister na anak sa labas ng Dad niya. His life is full of loneliness. Nagkakilala kami and we understand each other. Mabait siyang tao at alam kong kahit anong mangyari, we would never leave each other. Para kaming magkapatid.

                             Now I saw him with two other guys. They’re laughing while walking they’re way. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang masayang masaya. Ibig sabihin, he’s okay. He is fine without me. It made me feel sad but it also made me feel that he’s fine. But still, I miss him so much.

….

                         I paid the driver and pushed the doorbell of this house I’ve known for a long time. Zhaira’s house.

                     “Angelo!”  she run towards me and hug me.

                            I should feel the warmth of it but why am I finding it now? Nasan na yung sarap ng pakiramdam ng pagyakap niya?

                        “Let’s go inside.” She smiled at me. I smiled back to her and look straight ahead.

                       She’s wearing a tube top and a mini-skirt with printed names in it. She doesn’t wear this kind of revealing dress.

                         “Just when did you change your fashion style?”  I ask him. Masyado kasing maiksi yung skirt.

 “Ah… Maybe… last month? Maganda ba?”  she asked me.

                           “It’s.. it’s just not you. ”  ibang-iba na nga siya. Kapansin pansin din yung kapal ng make-up niya. She did change a lot. Umiwas siya ng tignin at..

          “ I’ll just get some things upstairs. Wait for me.”

                          I scanned the whole living room. It’s all the same when I’m here a year ago. Bumaba na siya and excitingly laid the album in the desk in front of me.

                      As she turns the pages of the photo album, it was like delving into the past.

                       “Remember this, lifeko?”  she pointed at the picture of a mountain with the two of us smiling and pointing the it.
