Chapter 21: Last Breath

Chapter 21: Last Breath

Napatingin si Drew sa pintuan where Reigh stood grinning from ear to ear.

Nakalagay pa sa tainga nya ang cell phone nya while her other hand is holding a box.

She's wearing a purple tank top and black skater's skirt.

"Surprise!" Sigaw nya bago lumapit kay Drew.

"Hey." At agad na yumakap si Reigh sakanya. "I missed you!"

Pumasok narin si Cass at si Keith na may dala dalang mga topper wear.
Kasunod na pumasok si Tristan.

"What are you doing here?" Tanong nito ng kumalas si Reigh sa pagkakaakap.

"Hi Drew!"

"Pinsan!"

"Bayaw!"

Bati ng iba sakanya.

"Bakit, ayaw mo?" Reigh asked then pouted.

He lead him to the sala kung saan naroin narin ang iba at nag-aayos ng mga pagkain sa lamesa.

"Off course I like that you're here. But you should spend your vacation with your family."

"Sobrang miss ka na daw kasi nyan kaya dito n daw kami magcelebrate ng pasko."
Nakangising saad ni Keith.

"Kuya!" Saway ni Reigh sakanya at nagtawanan naman sila.

"I want to spend it with you so stop complaining 'kay?"
She said looking up to him.

Napakunot si Drew. He feels like there is something Reigh's not telling him.

"Okay love birds! So much for that. Pumunta na kayo dito!" Cassey called them kaya't pumunta na ang dalawa.

They celebrated Christmas together.
Umuwi rin sila Reigh kinabukasan at bumalik din to celebrate New Year with him. Hindi na nga lang nakasama si Keith sakanila nang bumalik sila for new year's eve.

Almost all the occassions that year ay pinilit ni Reigh na i-celebrate nila together.

Valentines day, Their Promenade at Birthday ni Drew.

And it's their graduation day at masaya rin nila itong sinelebrate.

Cassey graduated as Magna Cumlaude of their batch kaya't nabigyan sya ng chance na makapunta sa Europe to meet famous Film Directors.

A day after their graduation, nasa roof top sila Reigh kasama sina Cass, Tristan, Bea and Leslie.

"Are you ready?" Tanong ni Cass kay Reigh and she nodded.

"Ahm, may I know kung para saan ba 'to? Si Cass ang Cum Laude pero kay Drew may surprise?" Natatawang tanong ni Leslie habang inaayos ang table.

Malungkot na ngumiti si Reigh at iponagpatuloy ang paglalagay ng plato sa lamesa.

"Hey, He's here!" Tristan shouted from outside kaya't pumwesto na silang lahat.

Drew walked at the corridor.
Tahimik ang paligid dahil bakasyon na at iilan nalang ang tao sa school.

He just went here because of the paper he saw at his study table.

It says,

'Reigh loves Drew.... Forever.

See you at the roof top, 6 pm'

He felt his head suddenly ached again at medyo lumalabo ang paningin nya, but still continued walking.
