The Life Note At A Time

Kabanata 10

"Happy Second Anniversary!" sabay naming sabi saka hinipan ang cake na hawak ko. Nandito kami sa Tagaytay para icelebrate ang Anniversary namin hindi kasi namin ito na celebrate ng maayos nung graduation nya.

Masaya akong tumingin sa kanya.

"I never though that I would be this happy, babe," emotional na sabi ko. He smiled saka ako niyakap.

"I love you," sabi nya saka maa hinigpitan ang yakap sakin.

"I love you too,"

"Tell me, anong problema?" he suddenly asked. Bumitaw ako saka gulat syang tinignan. Tinignan nya ako ng may pagaalala.

"You know that you can always tell me. You can cry on my shoulder, until you feel okay. Tell me, Love," ngumiti ako ng mapait saka umupo sa dulo ng kama nya.

Umupo naman sya sa couch na nasa harap ko. Tinitigan nya ako at hinhintay na magsalita ako.

"My..." hindi ko maituloy ang sasabihin ko ng magbadya nanamang tumulo ang mga luha ko. Umiwas ako ng tingin at tumingin nalang sa veranda. I sighed heavily bago nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita.

"My dad left us with another girl," tuluyan ng bumuhos ang kanina pang pinipigilan kong luha. "I... I love him so much, that I didn't think he would do that to us. My mom always crying whenever I got home."

lumapit sya sakin saka niyakap hinagod nya ang likod ko para kumalma ako pero hindi ko kaya.

"Hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko pa kung tuluyan na silang maghiwalay. I'm the one who's suffering now, pero kailangan kong maging matatag, dahil ako ang panganay. Ako nalang ang pinaghuhugutan nila ng lakas..." patuloy ko.

"Si Jack," humahagulgol na ako sa sobrang bigat ng problema ko. "He has Anemia. At sa sitwasyong ito, hindi nya dapat maranasan lahat ng ito... I'm tired of this shit. I loated my father, I...hate him so much,"

"Sshh.." pag alo nya sa akin. "Everything will be okay," tumango ako saka pinunasan ang luha kong bumubuhos parin.

Funny right? To think, whenever we celebrate our Anniversary. I always cry. I'm always a burden to him.

Dapat hindi ko na sinabi pampadagdag pa sa problema nya.

"I'm sorry," sabi ko. Tumingin sya sakin. I can see the pain I'm feeling right now in his eyes.

"Don't say it," seryosong anya. "Huwag kang magsorry kung mahina ka ngsyon. Everybody has weaknesses. At sa puntong ito ako nalang ang kailangan mo ngayon,"

I smiled to him. I don't know what did I do in my past life to have this guy in my life making me happy even I'm sad. I need to be strong not just for them but for myself.

Months had passed. Mitch and I moved to a condominium not so near on our Campus. My mom and dad, and her parents bought this condo for us, including the necessity things. Mayroon itong tatlong kwarto and we decided that the third room will be our study room it has computer etc.

My room was the first room and the second room was Mitch. The condominium are not so tiny but its fine for the two of us. When you open the door you will see the kitchen and dinning table on the left while in the right was the couch a big flat screen tv and a mini book shelf under on it. On the center it has a hallway. The left side was the room of Mitch and study room while on the right side was my room. My room has a veranda connected to the room of Mitch.

I like the interior. Mayroon lamang tatlong kulay ang buong condo not include the rooms. Ang kulay ay white, black, and brown. Sa room ko naman was white na may pagkapeach.

Nagbebreakfast kami ni Mitch ngayon ng oatmeal since di pa kami nakakapag grocery ulit.

"Mauna na ako," sabi nya saka ako kiniss sa cheek at lumabas ng condo. Ganito kami palagi simula ng magstart ang pasukan. We often see each other kahit na nasa iisang Campus lang kami. Niligpit ko na ang pinagkainan namin saka nagtoothbrush. I'm wearing my Architect uniform saka kinuha ang bagpack ko at ang model house ko.
