Still You

Chapter Three

Travis's P.O.V.

Ngayon lang ako nakauwi. I'm on my bed now. Hindi pa rin ako makatulog kahit anong oras na. Iniisip ko pa rin yung mga sinabi sakin ni Caileigh kanina.

Nakatitig lang ako ngayon sa ceiling.

So that's what happened to her. I don't want her to feel that pain anymore. I can't watch my bestfriend hurting like that. I can't just watch her cry.

I'll do anything just for her to get over this pain.

Para kay Caileigh handa akong gawin yung mga bagay na hindi ko ginagawa. Kahit na magmukha pa akong sira sa harap ng ibang tao okay lang sakin basta para sa kanya.

Hindi ko hahayaang manatili siyang umiiyak. Hindi ako papaya na yung kasama niyang nadapa ay nakabangon at humahakbang na ulit pero siya naiwan pa ring nakaupo habang sugatan at umiiyak.

I can't see her hurting. It is her happiness that I am wishing for. I want her to be happy. It's her smile that makes everything in me okay. Her smile calms me.

Whenever she cries I feel bad. There's this eager feeling that I need to make her smile.

Nagiging mahina ako kapag nakikita ko siyang malungkot. Yung mga ngiti niya ang nagpapalakas sa akin. Yung kasiyahan niya ang nagpapasaya sa akin.

I want to be her knight. The one who'll save her, who will protect her no matter what happen.

If I can't be her prince then I'll be her knight.

I can't watch my princess crying.

Protecting her is my passion. Nawala man ako sa tabi niya nanatili pa rin akong nagbabantay sa kanya. I will protect her no matter what. Damn I can even die just to protect her.

Ganoon ko siya kamahal. Mahal ko siya. Oo mahal ko siya but not romantically. I love heras my sibling. I just have this eagerness to protect her from everything.

One thing is for sure. I'll do everything for her.

Eighth o'clock ako nagising ngayon. I make it earlier than the usual.

Pupuntahan ko si Caileigh sa bahay nila. Usually kasi ten o'clock ako gumigising pag summer.

After I prepared my self and after I eat I'm now good to go.

I drop by on the grocery to buy her some dark chocolates and I also bought some chips.

Nag drive-thru ako for our breakfast. I bought all her favorite foods.

I hope this will help, I hope this will make her smile.

Ipapasyal ko siya mamaya. This is going to be fun.

I'll make you happy Caileigh.

The knight will make his princess smile.

I am listening to my favorite band-- Imagine Dragons this is also Caileigh's favorite band.

Sumabay ako sa kanta

Yeah take me to the top I'm ready for whatever it takes.

I parked my car in front of Caileigh's house.

I take all the foods from the backseat.

Hindi na kailangan mag doorbell dahil naabutan ko si manang na nasa labas at sinabay na niya ako papasok.

"Manang gising na ho ba si Caileigh?" I asked Manang.

"Hindi pa hijo, kanina ko pa ginigising ayaw gumising. Tulog mantika nanaman. Ikaw na nga lang ang gumising sa batang iyon!" Sagot ni Manang na halatang nakukulitan kay Caileigh.
