/// Blast from the past ///

Eight years ago at St. Catherine High School

As expected, Sinag avoided an encounter with Benji after the Prom night kissing incident.  It gave Benji so much anxieties, he wanted to explain but she does not want to give him a chance air his side.  He tried to visit her in her house but she refuses to talk to him.  According to her father, Sinag did not want to be disturbed as she started preparing for their school final examination. 

Even in school, Sinag will always detour whenever she sees possible encounter with Benji.  She makes sure that she will never be alone and that she is with her friends Jorge and Katrina always.

On the third day, Benji could no longer endure Sinag’s avoidance of him.  He asked Katrina to help him to talk to Sinag.  After Katrina heard Benji’s explanation, she agreed to convince Sinag to give Benji the chance to explain his side.

“Tago ka nang tago kay Benji, kapag hindi naman nakatingin sulyap ka nang sulyap.  Hindi ba parang tanga ka lang pag ganyan, Sinagtala” Katrina said

“Bakit ba kasi ayaw mong kausapin yung tao, humihingi naman ng tawad sa ginawa nya sa iyo” Jorge said

“Tantanan nyo nga akong dalawa.  Hindi nakakatuwa yung ginawa nya” Sinag said

“Teka nga lang Sinagtala, saan ka ba nagagalit, dun sa paghalik sa iyo ni Benji o dun sa Prom King and Queen Dance na halos magkayakap na si Trisha at Benji?” Jorge asked

“Nagseselos ka friend?” Katrina asked “Gusto mo na si Benji, kaya umuusok yang ilong mo sa selos” she added

“Kasalanan mo rin naman eh, kasi si Christian ang pinili mong date sa prom night” Jorge said

“Nakakahiya na kasing bawiin ko yung Yes ko kay Christian.  Nakita nyo naman pati si Aling Gloria excited sa JS Prom natin nung nalaman nya na pumayag akong ka-date ni Christian. Pero, hindi komo, sya ang date ko ibig sabihin boyfriend ko na sya or malaki ang pag-asa na sagutin ko sya, kahiyaan na lang talaga, kasi si Aling Gloria rin ang nagtyagang maghanap ng hihiraman ko ng prom dress” Sinag said

“Yun din naman ang sabi ni Benji di ba, hindi komo si Trisha ang date nya ibig sabihin si Trisha ang gusto nyang kasama nung prom night.  Eh wala ngang ginawa yun kundi bantayan na kayo ni Christian.  Kahit na nung sa Prom King and Queen dance, tutok pa rin ang mga mata sa yo” Jorge said

“Kung pumayag ka na si Benji ang date mo, eh di sana wala kang ganyang hinagpis” Katrina said

“Ang sabi nya sa akin pupunta sya dun mag-isa” Sinag insisted

“Ay sus, girlfriend ka ba ni Benji Sinagtala Obispo para mag-inarte ka ng ganyan? Umayos ka nga, at baka isumbong kita sa Tatay mo na hinalikan ka ni Benji sa lips nung prom night.  Ewan ko na lang kung hindi ka magka-asawa ng hindi oras” Katrina threatens

“Huy, wag ganun, magagalit sa akin si Tatay at baka habulin nun ng itak si Benji, alam nyo namang lumang tao yung tatay ko” Sinag said.  Katrina smiles as she knows that she already hits the weak side of her friend.

“Ako pwede ko namang itikom ang bibig ko.  Kay Benji ka dapat kabahan, kasi baka sa sobrang desperado nung tao, biglang kausapin nun ang Tatay mo at sabihin pananagutan ka nya” Katrina said

“Hindi nya gagawin yun” Sinag said

“Hindi rin tayo sigurado, wag kang masyadong kampante” Jorge said
