Storm Of Yesterday (On Going)

Parents

Chapter 11

Parents

Pag tapos namin sa ferris-wheel, we went back to my friends at tingin ko'y hinahanap na ako. Pag balik namin ay halos wala na silang ginagawa, nakaupo sa food court at nagkkwentuhan.

We walked towards them but as unexpected as it may seem, nung papunta na ako ay natagpuan ko ang mga masasayang mata ni Gabriel. I don't know if i should smile or should I just look away? I don't really know. When I planned to plant a smile on my lips he quickly slash off the stare we made between us two. Dun ko lang napansin na he's with her. With Elaine. They look so happy, maybe they are really meant to be. I suddenly look behind me and i found Shaun's eyes. An eyes that always assures me that i am his only one.

"Nagugutom ka na ba?" he asked while heading towards my friends.

"A bit." i said.

"Okay, upo ka muna diyan. Wait for me." when we got close to our classmates inasar na nila ako ng walang tigil dahil nakasama ko si Shaun at bigla na lamang daw ako nawala. Sumali pa dun sa panloloko ang mga adviser ko. I suddenly wonder where was the boys, but i saw them with him buying foods. Pizza to be specific.

"Nak, tara na. Aakyat ba tayo sa bus." anyaya ni sir. "Ay hindi, mauna na kayo. Sasamahan ko muna sila Shaun." paalam ni sir kaya nauna na kami pumunta sa bus.

When we got there i fixed my things and seated comfortably while charging my phone with his powerbank.

You know what? All my life i thought i would only find a man like Shaun in books or movies. Like it was only fictional and not existing in real life. Everytime i am with him it felt surreal. I am blissfully contented even with silence. Even if i am still unsure and i still don't have that same feeling he has for me... I must say that, even if things have been really rough for me, even if i was hurted a couple of times, even if i was left behind too many times, I could say that i am still lucky to be here kasi if that pain didn't happened, i wouldn't be here, i wouldn't be me. I wouldn't be with him, i wouldn't meet him this way.

Life is made to endure things. Even if it is bad or it is a good time. It should be balance because if you think everything's perfect and you seem so sure that nothing will ever rip those happiness you build to, eventually it'll end andbe shattered. Because if you think something seems so perfect, it will always and always end. Because nothing's meant to be perfect. With all those scars and bruises, you'll gain lessons and strength to push through.

So am i able to give Shaun a chance? He made me remember what butterflies feel like. When those butterflies died, bitterness spreaded within me but right now? It seems impossible but those butterflies felt like very alive again.

I think i might give him a chance to prove that even my heart's broken it could beat again, this time to the right man. This time, this love will surely be right, true and just.

As I was thinking a lot of things nakasakay na pala sila sa bus. Our eyes met.

"Here, pizza..." he said and then nilapag ang isang malaking box ng pizza.

"Hey anong gagawin ko dito ang dami naman!" i exclaimed. "Anyway, thank you. Di ka na sana bumili. Get some, di ko kaya ubusin to."

"No, i am full. You're welcome. Mag pahinga ka na." and bumalik na siya sa upuan niya.

I shared the pizza and slept the entire trip sa sobrang pagod but it was all worth a while. It'll be forever be treasured. I will always be grateful of the things i had experienced today and for being with such amazing and true people i have.

Nang nakarating na kami sa Pampanga ulit, kumain muna kami sa jollibee nila sir, Shaun at iba pang mga kaklase before we parted ways.

Ako:
Nasan ka na? Dalian mo Justine.
