That Nerd

Chapter 10

Matthew Lei POV

Umayos ako ng upo sa kama at inalala ang nangyari.

It’s damn confusing. Lahat!

Ang bilis ng nangyari. Hindi ba dati ko pa gustong makita si Jane pero bakit ganito? I can't smile, ni-hindi bakas sa mukha ko ang kasiyahan.

But i knew the answer, but still confusing. Bakit hindi niya 'ko naaalala? Pero alam niya ang dating tagpuan namin kapag mag-uusap kami o maglalaro. Sa ibaba ng puno?

We used to talked, played there. Bakit hindi niya 'ko naaalala?

What happened to her? What happened to my girl before?

Nang tumunog ang phone ko agad ko itong sinagot. It was tita georja.

“Yes, tita?”

“Can we meet, hijo? I have something to say, I'm gonna text you where is the meeting place, thank you,"

It was a secret coffee shop, a hidden by public. Alam ko kung bakit dito si tita dahil nga ay baka makita siya ng publiko o mga media.

Ngumiti agad ako nang makita si Tita Georja sa loob, same as what i did she smiled too.

"Thank you for coming here, Matthew,"

"I will always free, tita. Besides, wala naman po akong ginagawa," i smiled.

Ano naman kaya ang sasabihin sa ‘kin ni Tita? Kung hindi naman importante 'to baka sa phone lang ay sinabi niya na pero hindi.

"Hindi ko na papatagalin pa, Matthew," she started, nakatingin lang ako sa kaniya.

"I know you are confused that my daughter doesn't remember you,"

Natigilan ako nang marinig ang sinabi ni Tita. She's right..i am damn confused.

"Y-yes, Tita.."

“I confirmed it last day..she got epesodic amnesia..”

Napakunot ang noo ko. "What?"

She have an amnesia? Is that..true? Kaya ba hindi niya ako naaalala?

"Maaaring bumalik at maaaring hindi,"

"That's why i am here, because i observed how you looked at her, iniisip mo sigurong nakalimutan ka na niya, but the truth is..she doesn't remember almost everything,"

"Remember last 6 years ago? The accident happened? That damaged her brain that led to amnesia.. that ruin everything..she doesn't remember almost everything..but still im glad..that we found her,"

"Please.. understand her..I know that her inner child, you are still her friend,"

Jane POV

“How’s your school honey?" Ngumiti ako nang tanungin ako ni Mom.

Kumakain kaming tatlo kasama si Dad sa dining area. Katulad din kahapon, 'yung mga pagkain ay hindi nanaman familiar sa ‘kin.

“Okay naman po," sagot ko.

Ngumiti sila sa akin at hinatid na ako ng guard sa school ko.

“Dianne!" Masigla akong sinalubong ni Led nang makapasok ako sa room.

I don't know what is happening to me pero pabalik-balik kong nilingon ang upuan ng apat. They aren't here..nasan naman kaya sila?

“Nasan pala ‘yung apat?" tanong ko.
