100 DAYS OF YOU (A MAYWARD STORY)

Part 41

'Maddie, andito lang kami huh. Anu man ang mapagdesisyunan mo.' Si Elisha

'Thanks so much. Ayaw ko na muna isipin. Saka na lang pag alam ko na ang gagawin ko.' Isang matipid na ngiti ang isinukli ko sa kanila

I am grateful with my set of friends. Kahit na bago pa lang kaming magkakakilala, they showed me that they really care.

We got back to our classes. Nakita namin sina Venice and Yllona kanina but I did not confront them. Not yet.

'Punta tayo sa office ng SOF.' Aya ko sa kanila

'Will you sign up today?' Asked Laureen

'Yeah. Might as well. Para naman may iba akong pinagkakaabalahan.' Sagot ko.

'Yehey! Masaya to.' Natutuwa namang sabi nina Alora

I texted Ethan that I'd be with Laureen and the rest. May practice daw sila ngayon. He asked me if I wanna watch the practice but I opted not to. I wanna go home after.

Magkakasama kami nina Laureen pumunta sa office ng SOF.

'Upo ka muna Maddie. Wala pa si Luis.' Sabi ni Sue

'He's the student leader of SOF. Probably he's already on his way. His class should be done by now.' Si Laureen

'Oh okay.' I said. I stood up to look at the pictures on their bulletin board. Most of the pictures where taken outside of the metro. Merong mga aetas meron ding mga locals. The smile on their faces are so genuine. Nakakatuwang tingnan.

'Hello!' Bati ng pumasok. Binebeso niya yung mga members na nandun. When he turned to face me.

'Maddie.' He uttered my name

'Kuya Luis.' I smiled when I said his name.

'Look at you.' Lumapit sya sa akin and hugged me tight

Nakatingin lang sa amin sina Laureen.

'How are you?' Tanong niya

'I'm good, kuya. You?' Sagot ko sa kanya

'Very well.' Sagot naman niya

'You 2 know each other obviously. How?' Tanong ni Laureen

'Maddie is my cousin's girlfriend.' Sabi ni Kuya Luis

'Ex, kuya. Your cousins ex-girlfriend.' Paglilinaw ko ng huling statement ni Kuya Luis

'Oh yeah. I heard. Sorry. It's just that I always knew you as my cousin's girlfriend.'

'Anyway what are you doing here?' Hay buti naman at natapos na ang topic tungkol sa ex ko

'Wanna be a part of SOF.' Tipid kong sagot

'Great. Let me give you the form and then I'll brief you okay.' Sagot naman niya

'Okay kuya.'

Nagpunta kami ni Kuya Luis sa table niya and discussed everything while my friends are on the couch waiting for me.

'Ano bang nangyari sa inyo Mads?' Tanong ni kuya Luis
