The Mysterious Nerd

Epilogue

Why? Why do these things need to happen? Sunod-sunod na pagkamatay ng mga mahahalagang tao sa buhay ko. Una, ang kinalakihan kong magulang. Pangalawa, ang totoo kong daddy at ang kakambal ko and now siya naman.

I can still clearly remember the first time we met. It's unexpected. A nerd-looking girl like me will be noticed? Yes, we can see each other at school, but that's it.

I never thought we will be friends.

Now, I'm sitting next to the grave of that person. Sitting next to the one who became a friend to me. The one who became my crying shoulder. It's all my fault. It's all because of me.

My tears won't let this person live again, 'cause it's impossible. In the other life, maybe I will see and meet you again. I don't know if you will still recognize me but my love for you won't fade.

I didn't have the opportunity to say sorry because when I realized that its all my fault. That's the time that she's gone. Elisha, I've forgiven you and I'm sorry too.

"Linnea, I know she will forgive you too." Sabi ni Travis na katabi ko ngayon. We are sitting next to Elisha's grave.

"I miss her Travis. I miss my best friend." Sabi ko at humagulgol na. Niyakap niya na lang ako ng mahigpit at Saka pinatahan. Ang sakit pala nun. Yung feeling na hindi ka nakapagsorry sa isang tao. Tapos ngayon, wala na. Hindi na pwede.

"Nandito kami nila Matt, Nea. We will be here until you fully recover. Cry all you want, but remember after the tears and heartaches you should stood up, chin up and fix your broken crown." Sabi ni Travis na

"Thanks Travis. Thank you for being here with me." Sabi ko na lang. I'm now the queen of the Underground. I rule it and they'll follow my orders. But how will they respect me if I have a broken crown? So hindi pa dinedeclare na ako ang queen.

They will wait for my orders.

Tumayo na ako at nagpagpag ng palda ko para matanggal ang ilang damong dumikit.

"Let's go Travis." Sabi ko at tumayo na din siya. Maglalakad na Sana ako papunta sa kotse ng hawakan niya ang kamay ko. Napatingin naman ako sakanya.

"Ehem, Linnea I've been keeping this secret for a long time already. I can't take it anymore. I know this is not the right time but I think I'll explode if I didn't tell you this." He paused and heave a deep sigh.

"From that very day when I said sorry, that's also the time that I realized that I'm starting to fall for you. I don't know how and why would a Travis Chase will fall for a girl like you, but unexpectedly I did. Then after that, each day my feelings for you grow."

"I became overprotective and then I always got jealous. And when they kidnapped you, you don't know how worried I am. You made me go crazy. And I realized that I don't like you anymore. Cause I love you." He added.

Nabigla ako sa mga sinabi niya ay tumigil na ata ang paghinga ko. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko na para bang lalabas na to anytime. "Hey say something. Nahihiya na ko." Sabi niya at namumula ang cheeks niya.

I don't know pero pinisil ko yung pisngi niya at ngumiti ako ng malapad. "You know what Mr. Chase the feeling is mutual. I love you too." Sabi ko at pisil pisil padin sa pisngi niya.

"Huh? Ano yun? Pakiulit?" Sabi niya at namumula pa din. "Sabi ko po. I love you. I love you Mr. Travis Chase. I love you. I love you. I love you." Sabi ko sa kanya at lalo pa siyang namula. "Talaga?" Tanong niya na parang batang binigyan ng candy.

Tumango ako biglang sagot. "Can I court you?" Tanong niya sa akin. "Oo naman. It's an honor to be courted by a Chase." sabi ko at nagbow pa.

"No, its an honor to court a queen." Sabi niya at hinalikan ang kamay ko. "Hoy madumi kamay ko bat mo kiniss?" Sabi ko sakanya.

"Kahit pa gaano kadumi yan, ikikiss ko pa din yan." Sabi niya. Okay kinikilig ako.

"Halika na sa kotse gutom na ko." Sabi ko sa kanya at Saka hinila na siya. "Tara na. Gutom ka talaga palagi." Sabi niya at ginulo ang buhok ko.

Sa buhay natin, madami tayong makakasalamuha at makikilala. Yung iba mapagkakatiwalaan at magiging kaibigan at yung iba naman ay makikilala mo lang para masaktan ka at may matutunan.

Ako, madami akong napagdaanan at nakilala at madami ding nanloko sa akin pero sa Huli, makikilala mo ko kung sino ang tunay. At ako, nakilala ko na sila.

Kapag nasaktan ka na, oo nagbabago ka. Pero kailangan mo din matutonv intindihin ang sitwasyon at matutong magpatawad. Kapag nagpatawad ka kasi ng taong may nagawang kasalanan sa iyo, masarap sa pakiramdam.

Pakiramdam mo free ka na. Wala kang aalalahanin sa pagtulog mo sa gabi. At ako, nagpatawad na ako. Oo, madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin pero kailangan mong maniwala na kaya mo para magawa mo.

Once, I was just that weird, geeky, and mysterious nerd. But then, my life started to change and the mysteries of my being was unfolded. I, Linnea Davaux, the soon to be queen of the underground, is once the mysterious nerd. But now, I'm happy and free.

It's time for me to close this book of mysteries. I'm once the mysterious nerd, but now I'm mysterious no more.
