My Ghost Bestfriend

Chapter 30 - I Just Can't

Chapter 30 - Mission

I remember.

I remember when I first came into this world. From the moment I first opened my eyes and brought taste of this messy universe.

"Yes. I can barely remember it"

Hindi ko alam kung talagang matalas ang isipan ko na naaalala ko pa ang araw ng kapanganakan ko or is it just my mind playing on me. But everything seems so real. The way the doctor first carry me with his hands. The bright light over the operation room and the moment when I cried out loud.

"It seems like even god have his own way of giving and leaving memories aside"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

I was deeply distracted by a woman waving her arms on my face. Ni hindi ko nga alam na nandito nga pala kami sa may damuhan sa isang park. Sa isang park familiar sa akin.

"What?" Sagot ko. Sa sobrang lalim ata ng iniisip ko ay naapektuhan na rin ang pandinig ko.

"Are you deaf or something?" She said after hitting me in my head.

"Aww. Para san yung suntok sa ulo ko?" Sabi ko habang kinakamot ang likurang bahagi na naapektuhan.

"Kanina pa kasi ako nagsasalita and you looked like you're not hearing anything?"

Oo nga pala. Kasama ko nga pala si Lucy dito sa isang park na medyo malapit sa amin. Since kalilipat lang din ni Lucy dito sa subdivision na tinitirahan namin, she immediately asked me to go to this park. Sabi kasi niya madalas niya daw ako nakikita dito na mag-isa so she wanted to be with me this time. And Scarlet? I mean si Nicole, we immediately parted ways after niya maging okay. Well wala sigurong babaeng mag-eeexert ng time sa isang stranger she just met, atleast that's the situation for her. It's worse for me.

"Ahh. Sorry. Hahaha" I apologized and laughed. "Siguro gutom lang ako"

"Di ka yata kumain Zack eh. Hahaha. You little tiny boy!"

Lucy was so cheerful these days I wonder why. But besides that, she's right. Lagi nga akong nandito sa park na ito at tinitigan lang ang lahat. Sa umaga ay maraming batang naglalaro dito but when the sun started to set ay nawawala na sila.

I can barely remember why I'm always here. It's because of her.

It's always been her.

And now I don't know what to do anymore. After naming magkabanggaan kahapon ay napagdesisyunan ko na ihahatid ko na siya sa room nila and sa kaibigan niya.

It's different now. Hindi na siya mag-isa, hindi na niya kailangang maging malungkot. May buhay na siya ngayon di tulad ng dati. She's not stucked on my side anymore at ngayon ay may choice na siya.

"Hey Zack! Bakit tumahimik ka na naman? Hello?!"

"Hello?!"

"Ahh wala. It's just may naalala na naman ako. Hahaha"

"You might be hungry na nga" she said.

Lagi nang masayahin ngayon si Lucy on some point and I'm happy that she's pretty much okay now. Sa lahat-lahat ng nangyari sa kanya and the depression she encountered, it's happy to say that she's fine.

"Hey Lucy!?" I said. Tumingin ako sa langit and pointed out the sky on my finger tips.

"What now?"

"Don't you think the sky is beautiful now?"

"Uhmm yeah. The stars are prettier this time of the night" she smiled.
