OUR STORY

Micah

Hay nako. Summer is almost over, ilang weeks na lang makikita ko nanaman yung mga kaibigan ko from school. Technically, because I don't have any friends outside my school at all. Kaya frankly, mas boring pa ang summer ko kesa sa school days.

I am currently eating my breakfast thinking what can I possibly do today. Then I remembered that it's Friday and I can invite my best friend, Angel, out for lunch.

Madali kong kinuha ang phone ko and texted her.

To Angel:
HEY! Wanna go out for lunch later?

From Angel:
Sure! Where to?

To Angel:
Hmmmm.....sa Army Navy? Masarap burrito nila dun👌 my treat.

From Angel:
Okay okay. Sunduin mo ka by 11:30.

To Angel:
Okie. See yah!

After eating my breakfast of a huge bowl of cereal, nagtoothbrush na ako at naligo.

Pagtapos kong maligo ay nagpunta muna ako sa library ko just beside my room at binasa ang book na hindi ko pa natatapos. I'm almost at the last chapter na and near the ending. Actually, ito lang talaga ang ginawa ko buong summer bukod sa pagstroll ko around the park or at the mall with Angel. Kapag kasi nagbabasa ako feeling ko napupunta ako sa ibang mundo, a very different dimension.

Natapos ko na ang libro and I'm really not satisfied with the ending.

*Last part of the book*

People should never really believe in falling in love. Why not just walk into love? Falling in love is an understatement, it is like letting someone break and trusting them not to do it. But you actually gave them the right. Walking into love is like offering a big part of you but leaving some to yourself too, cause otherwise you'll just end up regretting it.

Wow, that really hit me. But, too much of that topic for now. Baka hinihintay na ako ni Angel.

Bumaba na ako at kinuha ang keys, phone, wallet at jacket ko then placed them inside my bag. I don't usually pamper myself drastically with make-up or anything and I don't wear anything sophisticated too. I just don't feel comfortable in them.

Nagpaalam na ako kay dad bago ako umalis ng bahay.

"Hey dad, alis muna po ako. Angel and I are gonna go out for lunch. Be back soon." Sabi ko then beso sa kanya.

"Okay Micah, just remember to keep safe ah. Wag didikit sa boys." Paalala sa akin ni dad.

"Roger that." Then tuluyan na akong lumabas ng bahay.

Ayaw talaga akong pinapalapit ni dad sa mga boys dahil alam niya lahat ng luhang ibinuhos ng mga mata ko mula nung paglaruan ako ng kababata kong si Kyle. Minahal ko kasi siya. More than my friend. I fell in love with him.

Hay nako, Micah, stop reminiscing!

Hay forget that. So yah, strict talaga ang dad ko dahil siya na lang ang magulang ko. Last year lang kasi nawlaa samin si mommy. She had cancer and not just the usual cancer na naeencounter ng inang patients. She had Multiple Mayeloma, Cancer of the Bone Marrow which produces that Plasma of the blood.

Yep you're right. It's not a familiar kind of cancer. Kaya siguro sobrang hirap maghanap ng cure, kay ainiwan kami agad ni mommy. Haaaay well, that's life. Kaya mahalin niyo parents niyo and let them feel your love as much as you can.

Sumakay na ako ng car ko. Nagtataka siguro kayo noh. Hmmmm I had my own car lang this year after ko mag graduate ng senior high. May student license na ako and considered na akong adult kasi turning 18 naman na ako. It's my first year sa college this upcoming school year. Sa pagkakaalam ko sa UP ako papasok. Not bragging ah pero lahat kasi ng pinag take ko ng exam nakapasa ako kaya choose what you think is best hahahahaha.
