Chapter  15

MARCH

" 3 months na lang at mag-oone year na simula nung nagkakilala kami ni Georgio! At ilang weeks na din mula nung huli ko siyang nakita. Nung sa MRT pa yun at sinabihan niya ako ng...KAKILIG!!! Hay! Teka, ano ba 'yan late na talaga siya, kailangan ko pa gumising ng maaga bukas kasi last day of school! Ang dami ko ng na-reminisce dito oh! Asan na ba yun? "

Nakita niya nga si Georgio na tumatakbo at may backpack siyang dala. Halatang nagmadali siya kahit late pa din naman siya

" Sorry, Michiko! Let's go? "

" She's smiling, nawala na pagod ko! I hope that she'll forgive me though " 

" Hi! Ok lang... " 

" EXCITED NA AKO!!! I really missed him! Ano kaya yung dala-dala niya? Oh well, maybe may gift siya sakin. Sweet naman pala talaga ng boyfriend ko...Kinikilig pa din ako, ano ba yan! "

Pumunta sila ng mall at pagkatapos nilang manood ng movie. Pumunta naman sila sa isang resto para kumain. Sa isang couch lang sila naka-upo sa isang side nung table para magkalapit sila

" Ang ganda talaga nung movie! "

" Tsk "

" Haha! Hindi kaya nakakatakot! Ang ganda kaya, matatakutin ka lang talaga. Gay guy! "

" Tsk! Michiko I have something to tell you "

" What is it? "

Biglang ngumiti si Georgio at hinalikan niya si Michiko pero yung mabilis lang naman. Public place kaya yun

" Georgio! " O///////O

May nakatingin pala sa kanilang matandang couple at kumaway na lang si Michiko. Nginitian naman sila nung matatanda. Pagkatapos nung araw...

" We're here, enjoy your last day of school tom. "

" Yeah! Thanks for this day, nag-enjoy talaga ako "

" Yeah, ako din. Michiko, naaalala mo ba nung sinabi ko sayo dati na may pupuntahan pa ako? Yung hindi kita hinatid sa bahay niyo? "

" Yeah, why? Nagalit pa nga ako sayo nun di ba? "

May binigay na box si Georgio kay Michiko. He looked at her and kissed her sa lips. Ang tagal nga eh like it was the last kiss they were gonna share with each other

" Sige, see you in my school soon. Bye "

Umalis na si Georgio at naiwang speechless si Michiko. Pumasok na siya agad sa room niya para buksan yung box. Yun pala yung laman nung bag ni Georgio, gift nga ba?

" What? "

Sa loob nung box, may mga picture ng places na na-visit nila. Ultimo yung mga hallway kung saan hindi niya pinansin si Michiko at yung hallway kung saan in-ask siya ni Michiko na makipag-double date. Yung mga streets, football field, school, yung mall...Lahat talaga! Tapos may necklace pa then, sa dulo nung box

" A letter? "

I really loved you Michiko but I don't have the guts to say this to you in person because I know I can't do it.I can't be with you anymore...For now. If we see each other again and you still have feelings for me then maybe...The truth is, that's why I avoided you after the Christmas break, I know that I'll only hurt you in the end. But, I really wanted to be with you. I'm really sorry for letting you down. It's just that you're there and I'm here. I don't want to know that you're having an affair there with some guy while I'm here and vice versa. I also need to focus on my studies. That's why, I'm ending it here. You're right, I'm a coward. Look at the bottom of the box if it will help you

" What the heck is wrong with that gay guy?! "

And she even tried to call him sa phone pero nag-iba na ata ng num.

" I can...Kakayanin ko naman ang one year. One year lang yun, Georgio.... "

Umiyak na lang si Michiko buong gabi at naalala niya yung letter. Tiningnan niya nga yung baba nung box. Nahihirapan nga siyang buksan yung mga mata niya kasi namamaga pa mula sa pag-iyak niya

" Burn this box!? You're making me sick Georgio "

BACK TO THE PRESENT

" I don't even want to read what your message is. I should've really blocked you. Just one cli---- "

" Michiko! "

Binuksan ni Michiko yung pinto niya sa room niya

" Yes, mom? "

" There is a guy, who wants to talk to you downstairs "

" Ah ok. Thanks mom. Sino naman 'yun?! Naka-pajama na ako oh! Well, 8 pa lang naman "

Bumaba si Michiko at nagulat siya as in! Hindi niya inaasahan kung sino yung dumating sa bahay nila

" Laurie?! "

" I'll give you some privacy. Michiko, just lock the door after he leaves, ok? I'll go to my room, already "

" Good night, Mrs.Antazo. Once again, thank you for receiving me at this time of the day "

Nginitian lang siya ng mom ni Michiko at umalis na siya. Umupo sila sa magkabilang sofa nina Michiko sa may living room

" Hey, Laurence! What is it? Ang formal mo pala talaga magsalita...Nakakapanibago, haha! "

" Uh...Yeah...I guess...I can't wait for tom. So, will you want to hang out with me tom. after dismissal? "

" Grabe! Pumunta ka lang para dun? Well, ok...Sure! I think we've been friends naman kahit dati pa "

" Really? Ok, see you at school tom.! Good night, Michiko "

" Uh...Do you have your phone? Give me your phone "

Pumunta na nga sila sa may front door at binalik na ni Michiko yung phone ni Laurence

" Nilagay ko na yung num. ko sa phone mo para if you want to tell me something. Text mo na lang ako! Nag-abala ka pa kasi. Haha "

" Uh...Thanks, bye Michi! "

" Yeah. No prob. Bye Laurie! "

" Nagbago na talaga buhay ko, mula sa pagiging unpopular na nerd naging medyo popular na ako...I guess I really owe him a lot kahit na he chose to broke my heart. Iniisip ko pa din siya hanggang ngayon! Di ko na talaga alam, maybe it's going to be good to be with other people. Kung kami naman, kami talaga...sa huli magiging kami din! "
