DAY 9.

<V’s POV>

Maghapon akong hindi lumbas ng bahay and I entertained myself by playing the Xbox. 360.

Magfo-four na pala nung tumigil ako sa paglalaro.

2 days na din akong nagkukulong sa bahay. I’m just reading books or playing. That has been my daily routine after what happened 2 days ago.

Humiga ako doon sa bed ko and browsed my phone. I looked at the calendar. “6 days na lang pala, pasukan na ulit”

“Anong gagawin mo ngayon sa buhay mo, V?”

 

I decided to go out of the house. I didn’t get my skateboard at naglakad ako. Kinuha ko ‘yong cap ko and went out. Dumiretso ako sa may milktea house. Sa mga ganitong time when I don’t feel good, milktea is can make me feel better.

“Sir V”

Tumayo ko when I heard my name was called. Nag-circle around ako doon sa subdivision nung may tumamang skateboards sa paa ko.

“Man-“

“Yael”

 

Sumunod ako sa kanya papunta doon sa may open court. Doon sa may mga malalaking tires na nakaptong-patong na malalaking tires. Our hangout place back then.

“I heard you are in the verge of failing your grades” Y drank from his soda.  “So ayaw mo pa rin sa Math”

“You know that I don’t like numbers since my dad left me ‘di ba? I hate counting” I drank from my milktea. Sabihin na nating magkalaban kami ni Yael nung isang araw pero at the end of the day, he is still one of my closest friend. Nothing will change that. “And now, I’m starting to lose everything again”

“Tss. Yan ang hirap sayo eh. Are you gonna give up  that easily, V? Why don’t you try liking those things that you hate? And the skateboards? You can always go back to that. Skateboarding will never neglect you. Hindi naman sa araw-araw eh kaharap mo yang skateboard mo” I looked at Yael. “Darating at darating pa rin ‘yong mga bagong bagay that will revolve around your life. Yung Math na sinasabi mo, didn’t you noticed? That girl came into your life because of Math. Don’t you wait to lose everything before regretting.”

Umuwi ako sa bahay at hinarap ‘yong mga notes ko sa Math.

“Aish!”

I stared at the milktea and remembered that time when I was with Cyree. May inipit siya noong paper doon sa milktea ko. “You’re really creepy and weird but I think, you’re also kind”

“Nakakamiss ka din pala” Darating at darating pa rin ‘yong mga bagong bagay that will revolve around your life. Yung Math na sinasabi mo, didn’t you noticed? That girl came into your life because of Math. Don’t you wait to lose everything before regretting. Then I heaved a deep sigh.
