Never shall we sink

CHAPTER 15: APOLOGIES AND THANK YOUS

I stopped at the parking lot of the Resto. 11:55am. I unbuckled the seatbelt, same with Deanna.

I'm so sorry guys. Not just we got banned on that bar, but because I caused trouble and nag paalaga pa ako senyo. I have questions tho.

Deanna and I went out the car and then she said. Go ahead.

Baket di nyo ako dinala sa hospital?

Jema is a great student. Not because I love her, but dahil may tiwala kami sakanya. Nung sinabi nya na your just so drunk before pa tayo umalis sa bar, panatag na kami. Pero sabi naman nya saakin na kung hindi ka pa gigising or mag reresponse saamin after nyang lagyan ng first aid yung sugat mo, dadalhin ka na namin. Nag risk sya para hindi mahassle lahat.

Nothing happened na kelangan kong pagsisihan?

Hahaha, bukod dun sa mga nangyari sa bar? Wala na. I sighed in relief.

How about Pia?

Hinatid ko sya after we tucked you in. She cares for you so much you know.

Care enough not to text me this morning?

Worried ka?

No. Its just that I had a good time last night and syempre sya yung kasama ko.

Don't worry, she asked me and Jema kung kamusta ka na.

Oh.

BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Ponggay. She's running and hugged me.

*groaned. Ouch, yung pasa. Ouchie.

What happened?!

Uhm kwento ko sayo next time ha? Sa ngayon focus lang muna tayo sa meeting. Punta na tayo dun.

Okay.

So we went inside the resto and nandun na sila lahat. Kami na lang ni Deanna inaantay.

Beaaa! Deaaaans!

Bea what happened? Jia asked me touching my face and my wound.

Maddie and Jho looked at me worried.

Its just a scratch. Don't worry about me hehehe. So lunch.... meeting. Haha. I'm hungry na sobraaa!

The meeting went okay, pinagusapan namin yung paparating na mga training and school year. Yung mga schedules. Sobrang dami kong nakain. Tapos nakadalawang kape ata ako. Napapatingin saakin si Maddie tsaka si Jho paminsan minsan.

So we drove home, Deanna volunteered to drive. Tahimik yung byahe. Iniisip ko kung anong sasabihin ko ke Jho and Maddie and Ponggs.

Penny for your thought?

Oh, uhm, hehe. I'm just thinking of what will happen today and how will I respond.

Maybe just say the truth? What's in your heart? Its the best way to response. Then kung ano mang magiging reaction nya or nila, you just have to accept and then respect and then move on. If you need to let go, just let go as long as you think its right. Okay?

Letting go, the first lesson of my Mom. Yea. Maybe.

Nauna lang kami ng konti kila ate Ly, pagpasok namin parang sobrang miss ko yung dorm, seems like forever. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto and humiga sa kama ng nakadapa. Bumukas yung pinto at niluwa nya si Ponggay. Hindi ako tumango at inantay kong magsalita.

Spill. Umupo sya sa bandang bewang ko. Hindi ako umimik kaya tinapik nya ng bahagya yung right rib ko.

Ouuuuuuuccch!!!
