Hey

I smiled as the chilly breeze brushed against my bare skin.

I was used to the pain... I was invincible... or so I thought.

I couldn't forget him, he filled my lonely eyes with warmth and joy.
I chuckled at myself reminiscing at our past.

"Avi, did you already pass your requirements?" Kina asked me, she was my friend, I guess my only friend? Well, she's always been there for me.

"Not yet, ikaw ba? Saan mo ba binabalak na mag CET?" I asked her back, hindi kasi kami masyadong nakakapag-usap dahil sa pagiging busy.

"I'll try ADMU or UST, kaya kita tinatanong, para sabay na tayo sa UST" sabi niya.

UST... pangarap ko iyong school na 'yon, kaya kahit alam ko na hindi papayag lola ko, gagawa ako ng paraan.

UST... was where I met him, he was friendly? I guess? When I entered our room where we were supposed to have a test and sat in the vacant seat, naalala ko pa na inis na inis ako sakanya, sakanila. Paano ba naman kasi? Test 'yon pero ang ingay nila? Samantalang ako lahat na ata ng Diyos nadasalan ko na, ganon ka importante neto para sa akin, pero salamat sa araw na iyon dahil nakilala ko siya.

"Hey Avi!, Avi right?" he said, as he was out of breath from running.

I just looked at him and nodded my head, I wasn't used to attention, I didn't like it. It brought me harm, it brought havoc to my chaotic life, what I wanted the least now is unwanted attention.

"My name is Sky" inilahad niya ang kaniyang kamay sa akin, tinabig ko lang iyon at lumabas na. It frustrates me that this guy suddenly had interest in me!

My eyes lit up as I saw Kina, honestly she's my only friend, and the one that keeps me sane. She hurriedly walked towards me, screaming? What the heck?

"I saw Gel! Omo, is he studying here?" She happily ranted, malamang nagtest nga rito diba? Gel was my ex, he was my "supposed" soul mate, well that's what he said.
I quickly got back to my senses when I felt cold liquid dripping from my shoulders to my back and chest!

"Shit! I'm sorry, I didn't mean t- wait? Avi?" Kung minamalas ka nga naman, ito nanamang tukmol na ito ang nasa harap ko, si Langit, walang hiya talaga! At nagawa pa nito na makilala imbes maghanap ng pwede ipang punas!

I knew that everything had an end, that perfect story would always have the perfect tragedy. I looked at my wrist and saw the cuts I did for the past years, pain was inevitable, it will constantly follow you around, finding a specific time to hit you the most. 


Mine was when I lost him, it has almost been 3 years since we broke up. I must admit that, I really miss him, he wasn't exactly my life, because he... he was the reason I loved my life. 


"Uhm... you seem to be spacing out?" Kina held my back as she talked to me, I just smiled softly at her, alam ko naman na alam niya kung bakit ako ganito ngayon.


"Let's go, kailangan ko nang asikasukin ang mga papeles ko para maka pasok ako ulit sa school, halos tatlong taon din ang nasayang ko" pagkatapos ay humarap na ako sa lapida na nasa harap ko, nagtayok ako muli ng kandila at sinindihan 'yon, and mga luha na nagbabadya ay naiipon na.


I took a deep breath and smiled, " Hi baby! How are you! I hope you're happy there, I wish I could hug you tight and kiss you all over your face and dress you up like Zeph, I'll visit you again ok?" I quickly wiped my tears as I felt a soft tug from the hem of my dress.


I quickly picked up Zeph and noticed that he was sleepy, I chuckled, he was like his father, except if he gets grumpy he's like me.


"Let's go baby, we'll go home" Zeph just nodded his head and held on me tightly. He is my  life now, as we were heading home, my heart softened as I saw the golden city lights flash beyond my eyes.


The golden city lights that saw our story.
