Saudade [COMPLETED]

Chapter 8

The news about Blue and Yellie spread like a wild fire. So Blue is done with Patricia.

Yellie is more decent looking than Patricia but when it comes to brains kagaya kay Patricia wala rin laman. Blue has very bad taste in women. Siguro fetish niya iyong mga bobo?

"Gosh! Sa isang araw na ang pageant! I'm so excited to see you wear the crown." Ria said excitedly. I just nodded.

"Aren't you excited?" She asked, I didn't respond.

"Is it about Blue and Yellie? Come on cheer up! Matatapos din siya dyan! It's not as if this is the first time. Lilipas din yan." She said to comfort me and patted my shoulder.

I deep sigh.

Oo lilipas din, but do I really need to be hurt all the damn time? Pwede naman ako, bakit sa iba pa? Hindi ba siya nagagandahan saakin? Matalino naman ako, I'm always on top of my batch pa! Bakit kasi iba pa? Andito naman ako!

My heart hurts so bad and my tears began streaming.

"Oh gosh! Oh gosh!" Natataranta si Ria na punasan ang luha ko.

"Haiz naman e! Don't cry! Naiiyak din ako." Para kaming tangang nag iiyakan At nag yayakapan.

"You know this is just first love, makikilala mo pa si Great love, si true love at forever! This is just a phase. Stop crying Haiz, you're making me really worried." She wiped my tears and hers.

"Ayaw ko sa iba Ria, I only like him. I love him." Parang piniga ang puso ko.

She literally sobbed Louder than i do.

"Pero mga bata pa tayo..." She's convincing me but I think she's also convincing herself.

"We're in trouble." Natawa ako at pinunasan din ang luha niya.

"Yeah we are." Pagkukumpirma niya.

After school, I trained with Mandy for the last time and I gave my all on the training, lahat ng sakit ng puso ko ibinuhos ko sa pag pe-perfect ng mga routine ko.

Mandy was very pleased.

"Inspired na inspired!" Tuwang tuwa na sabi ni Mandy. It's actually the other way around but I just didn't voice it out.

"Keep up the good job Hailey!" Hinalikan niya ako sa pisngi at nauna na.

Nasa kotse na ako at binabaybay ang daan pauwi.

Lucky's birthday is just 3 days from now, just right after the pageant.

I already finished my most priced and beautiful artwork. Lucky's portrait.

I'm busy being sad when our car just suddenly stopped.

"Ay naku! Ngayon pa tumirik!" Sabi ni Kuya Arnoldo at mabilis na lumabas para I-check ang makina ng kotse.

Nag co-conspire ba ang universe para gawin talagang miserable ang araw na to?

"Arnoldo bilisan mo dyan at baka mapagalitan tayo ni Sir Harold!" Sigaw ni Kuya Tomas ang body guard ko.

"Wala ng karga ang baterya!" Sigaw ni kuya Arnoldo.

"Hay naku naman!" Kinuha niya ang cellphone sa bulsa niya at may tinawagan.

"Sir Harold papauwi na po kami ni Ma'am Hailey pero tumirik po ang sasakyan naubusan daw po ng baterya." Paliwanag ni kuya tomas kay daddy.

"Sige po sir maghintay po kami dito. Salamat sir at paumanhin." Ibinaba na ni Kuya Tomas ang cellphone niya at tinanong ako kung nagugutom ako. I told him na I'm full kahit wala pa akong kinakain after breakfast.
