Heart of a writer

Chapter 20- Finished story

Kath POV

Buong hapon na ako umiiyak, ayaw pa rin maubos ng luha ko. Wala naman nagbabago, masakit pa rin.

Mom: Baby, are you ok? Sino nagpaiyak sayo?

Umakap ako kay Mommy, lalo akong naiyak. Inaalo niya ako.

Mom: Sino sya baby? Sabi ni Yaya kanina ka pa daw umiiyak.

Kath: Ma, bakit nagsinungaling si Papa sa atin? Why to lie?

Mom: Baby, alam mo may dahilan kung bakit nagsisinungalng yung mga tao. Sa sitwasyon ng Papa mo nagsinungaling sya para di tayo masaktan.

Kath: Pero nasaktan din naman tayo diba? Ikaw?

Mom: Oo nga, pero mas masasaktan ako kung sinabi nya ang totoo, kung sasabihin nya sa akin na may mistress sya, na hindi na nya ako mahal mas masakit yun kaya itinago na lang nya. Itinago nya yung katotohonan pero nahuli ko sya kaya kami naghiwalay. Matagal na yun, naghihilom ang sakit saka napatawad ko na ang Papa mo.

Kath: Pero Ma...

Mom: Kaya baby, tanungin mo sya kung bakit nya nagawa yon. Kung bakit sya nagsinungaling, may dahilan kung bakit magtago ng katotohanan ang mga tao. Wala naman sigurong balak pagtripan ka lang ng nagpaiyak sayo diba?

Tama si Mommy, hindi naman siguro nya gagawin yun ng walang dahilan. Pero ano ang dahilan ni DJ? Bakit kailangan pa nyang itago na sya ang editor-in-chief.

Monday. 10:00 am na akong nakapasok, di ako naka attend ng fiirst period, nalate ako ng gising. Buti na lang wala kaming ginawa, un ang sabi ni Julia nagtext sya sa akin. Papunta ako ng canteen nandoon si Julia at Diego May mga nagbabasa ng newspaper, naipublish na ang 2nd school newspaper. Ang weird nga lang, lahat ng estudyante na madadaanan ko nakatingin sa akin. Bakit??

Julia: Hi bes! (bati sa akin ni Julia may dalang newspapers, lame smile ang sinagot ko)

Diego: Okay ka lang cous?

Kath: (tumango ako) Ang weird, feeling ko lahat ng student nakatingin sa akin.

Julia: Well, maybe, because of this newspaper. Read this!

Kinuha ko Yung newspaper, may article doon na may picture ni DJ, binasa ko.

HEART OF A WRITER

            Everyday of your life, you meet thousands of people, thousand of faces, thousands of smile yet your searching for one person. One person who can be the reason of your smile, a person that can make your heart beats faster than normal and a person who fells the same way as you do.

            In searching for a long period of time, I could say that I found the one who will be the reason of my smile and the person I want to see every second of my life. It feels great every time I see her. The only problem is, she hates me. She neither talks to me nor look at me. Every time I am near, she just ignoring me. I feel that my world will begin to crash. How I wish, she will notice me, once in a while.

            Loving her in two years wasn’t that hard, it was all worthy. She’s the reason why I woke up early in the morning. I adored her hair, her nose, her smile, every little thing about her. She is my secret inspiration. They call it crush but for me, it’s love.

            Having a chance to be with her is the happiest moment of my life. It was a wish that come true. I have given a chance to be with her most of the time. I gained her trust and we’re became friends. I love her even more because I saw the real her. She’s thoughtful, sweet, kind, generous, friendly and most of all; she’s a person who has the most wonderful heart.

            Behind all of this, I lied to her. And I’m very much sorry for what I have done. I lied just because I want her to stay beside me. I’m scared that when she will know who the real me, she will regret the time that we’re be together. I’m scared that she will change her mind for having me as a partner. Living in a lie was the worst thing I ever done in my life, but having her is the best thing that’s happened to me.

            Kathryn Chandria Bernardo, I’m very sorry for what I’ve done. The only reason of all this is because I want to be with you. I only did that because I want to be close to you. You’re the reason of my smile. Your laughter is the music in my ear. You’re the person I want to see in my dreams. Your smile is the picture in my mind. You’re the one who capture my heart. You are all the reason of my life, why I breathe and why I’m still living. I wish you can give me another chance, I HEART YOU.
