Irreplaceable You

C h a p t e r O n e

It is one gloomy day in Ateneo, katatapos lang ng season 79 and season 80 is fast approaching. Summer class and training are the things that keeping myself busy this past few days.
I got my phone and earphones as I play on full volume, Lunas by Earl Generao. I'm heading to Eliazo cause I need to prepare my things before training.

I prefer to walk kasi hindi naman mainit. Saka nasa Eliazo din sasakyan ko, feel ko lang naman maglakad at magmuni-muni sa daan.

Lunas - Earl Generao

Tumatakbo, pumapatak ang bawat oras
Bumibilis, lumalala ang karamdaman
Nasaan ka,
Nang ika'y kailangan?

Hindi ko namalayan na may tumatawag pala sa pangalan ko. Kaya patuloy lang ako sa paglakad hanggang naramdaman ko na lang na may tumamang bote sa ulo ko. I was about to protest pero nakita ko kung sinong tumawag sakin. Isa lang naman sa pinakamagaling kong kaibigan. Maddie Madayag!!

"Problema mo De Leon? Kanina pa kita hinahabol at tinatawag di mo ako pinapansin" -Madz

"Sorry Madz, I was hooked with this song I'm listening to and on full volume. Pero you don't need to throw the bottle! Ang sakit kaya!" -Bea

"Sorry! Di mo kasi ako pinapansin mukha tuloy akong tanga na sumisigaw kanina pa tas hinahabol ka!" -Madz

"Di ba hinabol mo naman talaga ako noon...."- Bea

Madz cut me off.

"Subukan mong ituloy yan Isabel Beatriz may kalalagyan ka" -Madz

"Fine Madz! Chill ~ Bakit mo ba ko tinatawag?" -Bea

"Papunta ka bang Eliazo? And why are you walking? Where's your car?" -Madz

"Isa isa lang Madayag. Yes papunta akong Eliazo and may paa ako kaya naglalakad ako at the same time nasa Eliazo yung car ko. Ikaw ba? Papunta ka don?" Bea

"Alam mo kahit kelan pilosopo kang gago ka, tara punta rin akong Eliazo. Pero are you sure ayaw mong sumakay? Zoe can give us a ride!" Madz

"Alam mo Madz, feel ko maglakad eh. Ikaw na lang saka ang lapit na oh sasakay pa ba ako." Bea

"Fine if you say so. Sabayan ko na lang yung madrama kong kaibigan." Madz

Sinabayan na niya lang ako and bumalik na si Zoe sa Moro after magpaalam ni Maddie. Yes Maddie's in a relationship with Zoe. Okay naman ako sa kanya so far kaya walang problema.

Tumutugtog pa din pala yung Lunas hehe! Nilagay ko uli sa tenga ko yung earphones.

Hayaan mo na akong humanap
Ng lulu-lulu-lulu-lulu-lulunas mo,
Hayaan mo na akong humanap
Ng lulu-lulu-lulu-lulu-lulunas mo,

Papalapit na kami si Eliazo, when I saw a two figure of people right at the door. From head to toe kilala ko na siya. My bestfriend and my love of my life.... but she was, she really was my everything. Then I see her smiling to the guy he is talking to.
"She used to look at me that way" as I sigh.

The sight of them makes me hard to breathe as I put my hands on my chest. Maddie saw it and tap me at the back.

Hayaan mo na akong humanap
Ng lulu-lulu-lulu-lulu-lulunas mo,
Malay mo, ako pala
Ang lulu-lulu-lulu-lulu-lulunas,
Ako pala ang lunas mo ohh.

Dapat ako talaga yung lunas mo, as I said to myself.
"Smile naman diyan Bei! Wag mong ipahalata, alam kong mahirap pero nandito lang kami for you." Madz
I smiled back at her and nakarating na kaming Eliazo.

"Hi Madz, Hi Bei!" Jho
O God! Her voice makes me weak. I smiled back at her.
"Nagdate kayo ano?" Jho
"Hahahaha in my dreams Jho pwede pa, pero kasi tong si De Leon ayaw akong idate." Madz
