CHAPTER 7
Jessie.
While waiting for Mrs. Saturday, I asked Shaira if she knew about the latest break up of Ronnie. Yes, this was the first thing I did.
“Do you still remember what Tita Arzen told us about his condition?” I asked.
“The anxiety attack? I’m not even familiar with that word.” Shaira stated.
“The same night, I searched about it.”
“And?” she asked intriguingly.
“It’s also called panic attack. A short period of strong fear that happens for no reason. You may have them due to a stressful event or something in the past happened that hurt you so bad.” I explained.
“I’m thinking it probably because of his latest break up? Do you know something about it?” I added.
“I see. The break up is possible. There are rumors na pinagpalit siya nungt girl sa bestfriend niya.The person he trust the most ruined him. He felt stabbed and betrayed.” She whispered.
“Aww. That was really a heartbreaking, but we still don’t know the story behind it.”
“I just wish I can comfort him and be his side until he recovers.” I mumbled.
“Why not?” she exclaimed.
“Even I wanted to, he doesn’t even know me anymore.” I said and bow my head.
“Then introduce yourself, maybe he’ll remember your name but physically? I don’t think so. You’ve changed a lot.” She explained.
“Maybe. But how? I don’t think I could have the courage to do that especially now that he’s hurting, maybe he’ll just ignore me.” I stated.
“We’ll never know unless we try. Don’t worry I have a plan.” She grinned.
“Oh don’t give me that face. Kinakabahan ako sa mga planong ganyan.” I complained.
“Just trust me. I got this.” She said with confidence.
So I calmed.
“Okay. Spill me your plans.” I demanded.
“You’ll know it at the right time. Just be ready and there will be no turning back.
My heart jumped on what she said. Mixed emotions, I’m excited and afraid but I don’t care anymore he needs a friend, he needs me.
I saw Ronnie today, he’s acting normal and for some reasons I can understand him now. Why he’s dry, limited smile and gloomy. He’s hurting and I couldn’t do anything about it. The more I wanted to comfort him and to be his side the more it slaps me the fact that he doesn’t even remember me.
I just hope Shaira’s plan will work whatever that was. I should be ready. Even though I have second thoughts I’ll risk. I mean it’s worth risking for.
