Friday (6 a.m.) in school:
Maricz’s Part
Arjriana (Coleen Garcia) - Hi echo…
Jericho – (binaba yung shades) amf… sino kah?
Arjriana – Don’t you remember me? I’m your girlfriend… Uhmm, just 3 days ago…
Jericho – (sa utak: 3 days ago?) ahhh… ikaw nga pala si Ariana…
Arjriana – taas ang kilay… Its Arjriana! Can’t believe you forget abt. me… diba u said I’m your one and only…
Jericho – (napangiti then lapit sa girl on his right) amf , I don’t remember saying those things… And I even thought you’re a stranger… BTW, this is my real GF, Carmine… BreAk na tayo… tara na Carmine, baka ma-late tayo (Carmine – sige) *alis*
Arjriana – hayop ka Jericho Sanchez… manloloko ka! *dramatic exit*
Nakasilip ako behind the walls nun… And I thought, “wow.. may bago nanaman sia… kelan kaya nya ako mapapansin… kung sasaktan nya lng ako, I’m willing to take the risk… makasama lang sya…”
No one knows na may pagtingin ako sa kanya… sya lang ang lalakeng alam kong mamahalin ko nang tunay kahit ipagtabuyan nya pa ako ng ilang beses… Dahil ang past days, weeks, months and years namin ay alam kong hindi pa kumukupas sa aking isipan at puso…
*flashback*
I was three years old when I first met him. His family and mine are very close… at sa sobrang ka-close nila, they knew that their first son and daughter ay meant to be… at kami yun ni Echo… They made a deal to have many gatherings/outings ang family naming at sila… One way din daw yon so, we would be close together… At para din daw mabilis kaming magkasundo in the future…
1st gathering… May 4, 1998
Sa Boracay gaganapin yung unang gathering nay un after few weeks nang manganak ang mommy ko at mommy nia… (we alsohad the same birthdates) So, they decided to meet outside NAIYA Terminal 3, two hours before our main flight…
Nauna na kamu sa pagpunta dun… I’m getting uncomfortable… Yun pala, I wanted to pee… So, I asked my mother na samahan nalang ako papuntang comfort room ng Airport..
Mommy – Okey baby… I’ll wait for you here huh… Be quick, baka nasa labas na ng Airport sina Tita Glecy mo huh…
Me – Ok Mommy Kesia… And after I pee, could you fix my pigtail? Baka kasi hindi ako ma-like ni Jericho… Haha Joke lang po…
Mommy – Kaw talagang little brat ka… Sige go to the toilet and pee nah.. ^_____^
After I peed, I didn’t notice that I’m taking the wrong way to my mother… Nwawala na talaga ako... At dahil napaka fragile pa ng mga emotions and specifically, ung heart ko, agad agad na akong umiyak at umupo sa iang sulok… Hanggang isang lalaking kasing-age ko ang lumapit sa akin… at hindi ko alam na si Jericho nap ala yun:
Little Jericho (Xaijan) – uhmm… may I help you?
Little Me (Xyriell Manabat) – (ngibi/naiyak) I’m lost.. and I can’t find my mother.. Could you help me to findi her? Malapit na kasi ang flight naming.. maybe nandun na sina Tita Glecy and her son…
Jericho – Here… take my handkerchief .. By the way, I’m Jericho… And my mother’s name is also Glecy… So maybe, you’re Maricz? =^_____^=
Me – (namula) thanks… Yes, I’m Maricz… I can’t believe we’ll meet this way… But, how can we find our parents… I barely don’t know the way/directions.. :[
Jericho – Don’t worry… I’m familiarized with the directions here… just hold my hand and never hold back…
Me – Promise mo we’ll find them? Pinky swear?
Jericho – Pinky swear…
So, hinanap naming ung parents namin… with matching HHWWPSSP… Until, for a few minutes, we found them dun sa tapat ng entrance… Agad kaming tumakbo papunta sa kanila... simula nun, naging close kami... at hindi na kami muli pang nakapag-usap simula nung pangyayaring ito:
naging mag-classmates kami ng grade 4-5 sa Bukal Norte... dahil dun, mas lumaki ang impact ng aming closeness... hatid dito, sundo duon... Hanggang graduation ng grade 6... may ipinagtapat sya saken...
