Way back home (TBTIEH) On going

Fifty

SYDNEY's POV

Jom dropped me home at 2am in the morning. Wla akong tulog dahil diretso ang gimik. Pag dating ko ng bahay, Megan was there. Sitting next to my desk, reading old magazines and a coffee on her side.

"Megan, gabi na ha. Bakit andito ka pa?" I asked

She looked at me. I cleared my throat. "Sydney... I went there to pick you up. I am here at 3am in the morni and because you're goddamn not answering my calls. Ikaw? Gabi na ha? Bakit ngayon ka lang?" She... is terribly mad right now.

Napahilamos ako ng mukha. "I don't wanna deal with you right now, Megan. Bukas nalang tayo magusap. Wala pa akong tulog. I need to sleep." I said saka ako tumalikod.

Hindi siya nagsalita. Sumama sya sa kwarto ko at pareho kaming magkatalikod.

MEGAN's POV

2months later on the second day of May, my dear Sydney is going to celebrate her graduation day. I was the photographer of course. Ang sarap pala sa feeling na you'll be the one to get her memorable photos.

I took a lot of stolen shots. Nursing students ang grgraduate today pero nag wonder ako kung bakt andito si Taliah.

"Meggy," i hate it when she calls me Meggy. "Bukas nalang ulit tayo mag usap ha? Kukunin ko kasi si baby kay Joseph."

"Okay, sure. You take care, kay?" I nodded

"Yea, I will. Thanks Meggy." She smiled then she kissed me on my cheek. I gazed back at Sydney and caught her looking at me. Nag pretend sya na hndj nya nakita yun. Ayaw kong mag away kami kaya di ko nalang sya nilapitan o kinausap. Full time photographer nalang muna ako for today.

Na late din ako sa graduation dinner ni Megan. Sinadya ko yun kasi gusto ko syang masolo after. After dinner, nakatayo kami pareho sa balcony ng riverside restaurant. Sydney is wearing a white dress. She's beautiful right now, I mean even more beautiful. Like a hollywood red carpet beautiful.

"Congratulations, love." I held her hand and kissed it

"Thank you, Megan." She smiled at me.

I started to realize that this not the way she would respond. Narealized ko, it's no longer the same. Change is starting to take place. But I dont see there's something wrong at all.
Maybe tumatanda lang kami pareho.

"What are your plans after graduation?" I asked

She smirked. "Glad you asked. Been waiting for you to ask me that question, Meg. I think I no longer matter to you, Meg. Wala na yung mga tanong mong... What's inside your mind right now?"
