CYD
For these past days, Cyd could tell something was wrong. She felt as if, the world, was telling her a sign. A sign that she needs to prepare herself for the worst. She just has this feeling in her gut. Naiirita na nga minsan si Cyd, because she feels like she's just overthinking. That she's blowing things out of proportion.
~~~~~~
Waking up today, she felt tired. As if, everything isn't going her way. Well, hindi nga. She failed her Math major test, which would really pull down her grades. She also injured herself when she fell down the stairs. Katangahan, sabi niya nga. And now, she feels like her relationship with the love of her life is going downhill.
Well, sino bang hindi when your girlfriend doesn't reply to you for two straight days.
As much as naiinis si Cyd, she's just hurt. Ayaw man niya aminin but she can't stay mad at her for long time. Mahal niya kasi.
For the past two days, tintext niya ang girlfriend at tinatawagan ito. Cyd thought something happened to her, but her friend, Mika, said that she saw her naman yesterday. Cyd tried going to her house to come and talk to her personally pero wala. That's the routine for two days. Texts, calls, puntahan sa bahay. Pero lahat? Nganga. Cyd tried asking her girlfriend's parents but all they said was that she needed time.
Time. Yung bagay na sinacrifise ni Cyd for her. Yan din yung bagay na ninakaw niya mula kay Cyd.
Cyd sat up from her bed and grabbed her phone. She's still texting her, despite the fact that she won't reply.
To: Kimmy
Morning, Kimmy! Have a nice day, ah? Hahaha. Miss na kita. Talk to you later? I love you.
She was reluctant to press send at first but after a while she did.
It was a Saturday morning so no classes for her. So she decided to take a jog. She went to her bathroom and agad naman naligo. After, she wore hr sports attire. Grabbed everything she needed and went downstairs. Gising na parents niya and they were eating breakfast. It was already 9am kasi.
" Morning Ma, Pa! " Cyd greeted before hugging both her parents. Kumuha lang si Cyd ng slice of bread and ate that.
" 'Di ka ba kakain? " her mom asked.
She shook her head and told them na she's going for a jog around the block. Her parents smiled and told her na magingat. She smiled back before hugging them and bid farewell.
When she got out, the neighborhood was quiet. Ganyan naman talaga sa kanila. Kaya she always feels at peace dito. She grabbed her phone and linagay yung earphones niya. She put her phone on shuffle and she started jogging.
Cyd was tired and the main reason why she wanted to jog was to forget. Sa totoo lang, eto talaga ginagawa niya if may problem siya. She feels like if she's running, she's running from her problems and they can't chase her. Kahit mga 1 hour lang, okay na sa kanya.
30 minutes of jogging, Cyd was forgetting everything. She was almost at the end of thr block and that means pabalik na siya. Suddenly, her ears caught the music that was played by her phone.
Unconditionally.
She slowed down because of the music because it hit a nerve.
Oh no, did I get too close?
Did I almost see
What's really on the inside?
