Nakakawalang gana lang na kumain at mag aral dahil dun. Well, hindi pa naman talaga nag aaral ngayon.

"Simon, Saia" tawag ni Isaiah mula sa likod namin

"Ano yun?" sagot ko at tumigil paglalakad habang si Simon naka headset at naglalaro nanaman ng cell phone nya. Derederetso sya paglalakad kaya binatak ko yung bag nya.

"Ano ba?!!" Sigaw nya na tila nainis sa ginawa ko

"Tawag tayo si Isaiah, tanggal headset din kasi" at bumalik sya kung saan nakatayo si Isaiah. Naupo ang wala paring pakialam na si Simon at naglaro

"Seriously Simon? Really?" Isaiah muttered and took an annoyed glance to Simon

Tinabig ko sya para mapansin si Isaiah at nang mapansin.

"What?" sabi nya at tinanggal yung headset. Isaiah and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

"May.......may sasabihin kasi ako sa inyo eh" biglang shift ng mood ni Isaiah. He's serious now, serious enough to be noticed. For us to wonder what the hell is up to him. He look around then back his eyes on both of us.

"Isaiah?"

"What?"

"Can you just say it to us?" Simon demands an answer

"Na interrupt kasi si Simon eh" dagdag ko. He looked at me and I just made a peace sign.

"Uhm sige"

Isaiah breath in hard then out na kala mo wala ng hangin sa katawan eh. But it slipped on my mind what just happened yesterday. And I'm afraid that is the announcement he want us to know.

Maya maya pa. My heart skips a beat when I saw Megan. Walking all the way through us. My time stopped, even my heart beat and breath for a second. I want to breath but how? Kinabahan ako, namutla yata ako and I just want to run away now. AS IN NOW!!!

Tahimik si Megan na lumapit samin pero nakangiti. If they said a word or two, feeling ko hindi ko kakayanin. To slap the words I don't want to hear in front of me is very painful. I just want to run, to walk away. Iligtas nyo ko rito please somebody! >........<'

"Hello Simon and Saia" bati ni Megan na mahinhin pa ang pagkakasabi na parang nahihiya. She locked her eyes on me then smile. I tried to smile back but still the smile I gave to her was full of pain. Sana hindi nya napansin

"Simon and Saia......." Isaiah grab Megan's hand and hold it tight and smile on us.

"Meet Megan Castillo." and I know kung ano na ang susunod nyang sasabihin nya. Simon stare at their hands and gave them a very wide yet shocked smile

"Pare...."

"Oo pare. She's my girlfriend now" he said and put a very sweet smile. The smile I always adore of him. The smile that makes my sadness fades and made me smile even wider.

"Congarts Pare!! Sabi ko sayo eh" sabay apir ni Simon kay Isaiah

"Co.........congrats" tangi kong nasabi

Ngayon? It was the same smile that made my heart ache, made it broke and crushed into pieces. I just want to put a mask of smiling face on them but God I can't do it.

"kelan pa?"

"Kahapon lang"

 I just want to walk away and pretend that I didn't heared anything, and I didn't know any of it. I just.......I just want to.......please save me from this situation. The situation that was hard to escape, the scene that I don't want to be with. And if I smile, I guess my tears will just fall at makikita na nila yung totoo kung nararamdaman sa sinabi nya. Na nasasaktan ako.
