Chapter Two

Ruru

"Usap-usapan kaagad sa univ bro. Okay ka lang ba?"

"Yes. No. It's unfair if I'll answer that with an 'okay' if we all know what she's dealing with right now, and I am at fault for that." I zipped my bag as I checked my necessities if it's all complete.

I heard Gio on the other line, sigh. "Don't worry, I'll check up on her from time to time. Tell me nalang kung papunta ka na, sure ka bang di ka papahatid sa airport?"

Sumakit ang dibdib ko, baka iiyak lang kasi ako pag makita ko siya before my flight, as gay-ish as it seems, pero best friend ko kasi si Gio since elementary, and I am so sorry for leaving him here in the PH with a favor of taking care of my ex-girlfriend. They're friends naman, so I trust him so much.

"Huwag na, mag-iiyakan lang tayo gagi," tumawa naman siya sa kabila. May klase pa ata 'to.

"Sino ba namang hindi, all of your life nandito ka lang sa Pinas, kasama ako. I am your brother from another mother, bro," I smiled with that. "Pero, sure ka bang di mo 'to ipapaalam kay Kylie?"

Nangunot ang noo ko, habang inaayos ang mga gamit ko sa luggage. Umiling ako kahit naman di niya ako makikita.

"Yup. I know for sure, pag nalaman niya, pipigilan niya lang ako. Mas lalo lang akong aayaw pumuntang America."

Sige na nga. I'll miss you though. May klase pa pala kami, text-text nalang ha!" I hummed before ending the call, parang nagmamadali na din siya.

Dad texted me regarding my flight details. After an hour, I am all set to go to the airport. I checked my room one last time and went downstairs, nakatambay na si Kuya Jojo sa labas, ang driver ko for today. I smiled at him at tinulungan ako ipasok ang mga bagahe sa sasakyan.

I bid my farewell to our house one last time as I answered mommy's call inside the car.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard Flight *** with service from the Philippines to San Francisco. If the weather cooperates we should get a great view of the city as we descend. Until then, sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the flight."

I finally can see the rest of the view of Manila, all the way up here. As the airplane moves, it also means goodbye. Goodbye to my once called home, not sure if I'll be back, goodbye to my friends, and of course, to my beloved Kylie Natalia.
