She slept with tears on her eyes—again. Jiro has been causing her heartaches for almost a year at parang manhid na ata sya. Ayaw na lang nyang huminga.
Bobo ata ang ating bida, almost a year of suffering? damn, if i were her, i will leave jiro. But no, fuck it. She did not leave Jiro. She chose to stay even if it meant hurting herself.
Sana hindi na lang kita nakilala.
She chanted in her sleep. Poor Sky...
They are actually friends before, close friends. Everything started when Jiro accidentally called Sky. Malakas kasi ang trip nitong si Jiro, naisipang mag dial ng random numbers.
There, sleeping Sky suddenly jolted from sleep because her phone rang.
"Unknown number?"
Sinagot nya ito. A conversation started. Nagulat sila nang malaman na schoolmates sila, at kilala pala nila ang isa't isa. That Jiro guy she hated so much. Jiro is a laid back fella on middle school, di gumagawa ng assignments, nagpapa B.I. sa barkada, puro kalandian ang inaatupag and so on, so forth happened to be her chatmate.
Sky is a jolly girl. She smiles all the time but can be a bitch if the nature calls her. Honor student since elementary at napaka active sa school compared kay Jiro. She wanted Jiro to change.
She wanted to fix him. Little did she knew, fixing someone is like fixing a toy, it meant breaking yourself along. Parang tanga lang na nag-try ibalik sa dati yung basag na salamin, ayun nasugatan. But that doesn't mean Sky is stupid for trying to fix Jiro. Trying to fix someone takes courage because you knew it will only scar you at the end.
Miracle happens, nagbago si Jiro. Mukhang tumitino na. Thanks to Sky. At naging sila din, yes. But Jiro seems to be ahead of his ego and pride, mukhang nate-take for granted nya si Sky—an it happens everytime. Nagbagi nga sya, pero hindi maiaalis ang pagka mayabang at ma pride ni Jiro, over-confident fella. Our Sky was too soft hearted to leave Jiro for good. Sobrang tanga nya, bakit ba sya ganon jusq naman.
Morning. If you were to ask Sky what happened between them, she would just stare and say "Hindi ko alam.". That meant everything. Too much happened, she can't even turn it into words.
Oh ayan na, gising na ang ating bidang mugto ang mata. Of course, nandun yung pain but she chose to ignore it. Nakakasira daw kasi ng araw.
Nagulat sya ng biglang may mag doorbell sa apartment nya, fuck, hindi pa sya naghihilamos.
She headed on the door the opened it. Laking pagtataka nya ng wala naman palang tao—or so she thought. She saw a plant, at hindi nya alam kung anong plant ito. It looks like it has a faint glow since maaga pa at hindi pa tuluyang sumisikat ang araw.
The plant has this mysterious aura in it yet she took it inside and placed it on her window. Para daw masikatan ng araw.
Kahit na hindi nya alam kung sino ang nagdoorbell at naglagay non sa door step nya, she ignored it.
The plant has one pink flower on the top of it kaya nya nagustuhan, dahil narin sa parang faint glow ng mga dahon nito kanina na hindi na masyadong kita dahil sa ilaw sa loob ng apartment nya.
She examined the pot and noticed a paper on the soil.
Your wish will be granted in 15 leaves!
Kumunot ang noo nya sa nabasa. "What?" May napansin din syang nakaukit sa clay pot.
15.
