*Bell rings*
I run as fast as I could as I saw the man's gray tshirt and his familiar back.I couldn't help myself but to smile widely.
"Did you wait that much lo?"I asked
Arhgg!!! Mrs. Dimatigbak didn't go straight to the point she kept on repeating the same lines she said minutes ago. Ulit-ulit parang sirang plaka hmp!
"I heard that Mrs. Dimatigbak talked to you again?"He said with a smile plastered on his wrinkled face.
My lolo is old enough to walk with me to school. He should have stayed in our house drink his tea and relax.
I am really his customized pain in the ass. Hayss
"Is it about 'that thing' again?"He sighed.
"Yeah."I replied while looking how clean my shoes are. Declining every stare he has given to me--it's like daggers.
"Didnt I told you that you should stop---"
"But I couldnt do that lo,I want to warn her and her father too that's the---"
My lolo bend his knees and looked straight into my eyes.
"You should not meddle with others business."
"but lo---"
"No buts apo,dont put yourself in plight situations. This could have been more perilious to you.I don't want that."He smiled and reached my hands.
"Lets go?"
"Okay."
*Breaking news*
Isang truck ng Gasolina sumabog sa 703 Mapula street sa Dasmariñas, Cavite. Tinatayang 10 ang namatay kabilang na ang isang 16 yrs old na dalaga at ang kaniyang ama na siya mismong driver ng truck. At ayon sa imbestigasyon may isang lalaking naninigarilyo malapit sa nasabing truck na siyang naging sanhi ng isang karumaldumal na insidente.
Karina Chavez nagbabalita mula sa Dasmariñas,Cavite.
I cried alot.I can't sleep that night. It was my fault,everything is my fault if I didn't stop convincing Faye maybe she's still alive and her father too. And there will be no families grieving because of that incident.
"Lolo kasalanan ko 'to,ako yung may kasalanan lolo. Kung pinilit ko si Faye na wag ng sumama sa papa niya at dumiretso na lang sila sa pag-uwi. Sana lolo buhay pa sila."
*sniff* *sniff*
"Apo wala kang kasalanan,iyon ang nakatadhana sa kanila at kailangan mong tanggapin iyon."ani ni lolo
Halatang alalang-alala siya sa akin.
"Pero lo pwede ko pa sana silang maligtas e--kaso hindi ko nagawa."
"Ginawa mo ang parte mo. Binantaan mo sila ngunit sila ang hindi naniwala apo. Marahil ganoon talaga ang nakatadhana sa kanila."
"What's done is done,you cannot change it nor replace it you can only accept it. Move forward and let go but don't forget."Dagdag pa nito habang nakatingin sa akin ang kanyang sinserong mga mata.
I went to school a little early as I used to.I didn't take a nap. If I would be given a chance not to sleep I will never close my eyes again.I hate sleeping.
