Changes (GirlXGirl)

Saphire Oly

Minsan dadating tayo sa time na unti-unting nag babago ang mga bagay bagay or even a person might change in a blink of an eye, diba? Good or bad, choice natin kung anong gagawin o ginagawa natin. People might hate, some might understand but you can not please them all as the saying goes "people hate what they dont understand". So yeah I dunno if maganda ba yung changes for me but it's kinda challenging and thrilling. The fact na nakilala ko ang sarili ko is a good change indeed.

"hey watch it, will you?" I said calmly and picked up my things na nag kalat sa sahig. I glanced up and was surprised ng makilala ang taong nakatabig ng mga gamit ko sa table

Uh-huh absent mindedly walking in this crowded cafe what's wrong with this woman

"hey"

"uhmm huh? Oh gees im sorry.. so..so sorry" yumuko din sya para pulutin ang iba pang nag kalat sa sahig

Napatingin sya saken and she tilted her head like she's analysing my very face. Remember me? I thought.

"uhmm do I know you? I..I mean you look somewhat familiar, did I bump into you earlier or something" she said still with her head tilted

di kaya nangangalay to napangiti nalang ako sa naisip

"oh no..no that smile please tell me you're not her" pinasadahan nya ang kabuoan ko at napakunot ang noo

"hey ciara is there a problem?" I asked para kasing maling mali na nakita nya ko, pero parang di nya ko narinig at nilagay pa nya ang kamay sa baba parang inaanalisa ang features ko

"Shoulder-length hair no, not her type especially having a color on it she'd definitely kill someone pag ginalaw ang buhok nya"

I unconsciously held some strands of my midnight blue colored hair di ba bagay

"fitted tees is not in her liking, beige is definitely not her color"

I looked down para silipin ang suot ko'ng beige V-neck tees o...kaay this is getting awkward

"but that scent, it's her scent and the smile too the voice I longed to-

"uhmm excuse me but im right here, I can hear you" medyo napaawang ang bibig nya dahil sa sinasabi nito pero tuloy tuloy padin sya

"oh well she really had this beautiful voice baka kaboses lang pero kasi yung ngiti nya but yeah she's not slim and fit though she's huggy as bear oh how I miss her. My biggy" she almost whispered the last words

I snapped in front of her at parang effective naman dahil napatingin ulit sya sa muka ko.

"O..kaaay that's harsh, should I get insulted now Ms. Athens?" nakataas kilay ko at nagulat ata sya sa sinabi ko dahil nanlalaki ang mata nya'ng tumutingin saken

"y...you? My my biggy? Is that you" hindi makapaniwalang tanong nya habang tinuturo ang katawan ko

I have this urge to hug her kaso bigla ako'ng na conscious sa reaction nya kaya sinuot ko aagad ang dala ko'ng sweat shirt. Ano'ng mali sa katawan ko sa naisip ay kinapa ko ang katawan ko tumaba nanaman ba ko

"no.. No are you really sapphire? What happened to you? You look.. So... Hot. My saphire? I mean-

I cut her off by laughing out loud, I know, I know I've changed. A lot.Yung panic and consciousness na nadama ko kanina napalitan ng saya.

"it's me really, I missed you" i smiled widely and hugged her, its been what? 5 years? Still I find the same comfort with her

She's been a very good friend to me, she used to be my best friend. My only friend actually. And eventually we parted for some reasons that I don't wanna remember ever, I did leave. I felt so free while checking my luggage in, that's when I realized I haven't told her that im about to go somewhere far, away from the people who put my whole being into this pain im feeling.

"oh a.. Uhmm yeah yeah"she sounded so dismayed, sad i dont know. She patted my back na parang napipilitan.

"whoaw, y..you really loss weight huh?! Not as huggable as uhmm yeah" bigla sya'ng kumalas sa yakap at yumuko

"hey woman! Didn't you missed me too?" tanong ko na nakakunot and noo somehow I find it disappointing, oh maybe because hindi ako nag paramdam sa kanya ng makabalik ako ng pilipinas

"look ciara im sorry for not letting you know that im you know, im back from-

"no..no it's fine really, its been years since you shut us out. Shut me out, and you really changed a lot. Nice seeing you again but I gotta go, see you when I see you saphy" with that dali daling lumabas si ciara ng cafe.

Have i lost my bestfriend i asked my self. Siguro nga galit sya dahil sa iniwan ko sya bigla. I dont know what gotten into my very functional mind ng bigla ako'ng nag decide na mag reside sa US together with my mom.

When i got away all my social accounts deactivated. For some reasons ayoko ng kahit ano'ng balita coming from them including ciara or not. Di ko lang naisip na pati ang bestfriend ko magagawa ko'ng baliwalain, it wasn't my intention to do so pero yun yung outcome ng selfishness ko and i wasn't expecting na mag kikita kami dito sa cafe that soon. I wasn't prepared, i looked at my coffee and reached for my phone.

~Hey it's me Gabby, right now im loving my bed for partying last night so leave your message after the beep~

"hi baby, dose up some meds for your hang over when you wake up uhmm im kinda missing you so yeah hope you're here with me right now i already saw ciara actually just a minute ago and yeah i j..just need you takecare baby love you"

I was preparing to leave when someone poked me

"ate na maganda may nag papabigay po" sabi ng batang babae sabay abot saken ng papel

"bata kanino galing to?" tanong ko at luminga linga sa paligid pero wala naman ako'ng nakitang pamilyar na muka

"hindi ko po alam ate eh basta may nag papabigay" tumakbo na ang bata palayo at tumayo naman ako ng maayos

Umihip ng malakas ang hangin kaya dinama ko muna ang hangin oh how i miss philippines

For now i need to go malling i need to prepare, i need a lot of confidence for our upcoming HighSchool Reunion Party. Im so excited and delighted to see them not. 5 years is enough i think, im ready to face them again.
