The three of us decided to stroll around my favorite park. After our classes ay nagmadali kaming pumunta sa ice cream parlor na gustong-gusto ni Ashley. Wala na kasing ice cream kanina sa cafeteria.
"For our new friend Jasmine!" itinaas ni Ashley ang kanyang cone at animo nakikipag-cheers.
"For Jasmine!" ani Megan who joined Ashley.
I stared at them for a while. Oh my god, they're having a very bad choice for letting me join in their circle. I mean, I don't easily trust people. I can't even remember making friends who were almost strangers to me. But I guess Megan and Ashley are no longer strangers.
I raised my cone in mid-air and joined them in their ice cream toss.
Pagkatapos nun ay umupo kami sa isang lone bench sa park, my favorite spot. It's been almost a month since the last time I went here, alone and happy. But now I'm with two people, not alone anymore and yeah still a little bit happy. That's the only appropriate word I guess.
"Ang busy naman ng park ngayon" Ashley commented, finished the last bite of her ice cream.
I nodded with agreement. Minsan lang talagang napupuno ng mga tao ang park na ito. Minsan sa umaga at minsan sa ganitong oras. I took out my pen and notepad. I felt the urge to write something, again. Mabuti na lang at pinag-uusapan pa sina Megan at Ashley.
Yesterday was never a magic
Today it felt surreal
Everything almost knocked off my sanity
But some things are pieces of serendipity
I was alone, always alone
Then here came a longing soul
Who sat next to me under the warm sun
Another fragile soul came
And gave me hope, a hope I couldn't find in myself
I smiled at them, like I was smiling to myself
I smiled because they were happy
I smiled because I was happy
"May concert pala ang Haven ngayon!" Ashley exclaimed. I stopped writing and looked at her.
"Come again?"
"May concert ang Haven!" both of them repeated loudly.
