COMPLETED (UNDER REVISION)
They say everybody needs a second chance. No matter how mean you are.
Though for some people, they find that second chance a little late.

After that crying in the coffee shop scene, Farrah decided to sleep over that night. We have so many things to catch up with, especially in my case, she was already gone when all this crazy thing happened to me. It was embarrassing to open up, especially the with the reason why I had to leave my family. I was scared Farrah would leave again, but she just listened. She doesn't console me neither did she showed hate. It was neutral, probably because she sees how much i regret it. She's always balanced on things, never biased and always strictly righteous. She'll tell you if you did something wrong without you realizing it, and she'll complement you when you did something right, pero hindi niya kailanman papangunahan ang mga desisyon mo. She also knows when to take your side and when she should not.That's what makes her a very good friend.
"I'll be your guardian." Sabi niya sa'kin. Kasama sa naikwento ko sa kaniya ang tungkol sa pangungulit sakin ng doktor ko na magkaroon ng guardian.
"Sure ka ba?" Alangan kong tanong. "You're already my nutritionist, being my guardian would just put more work on your shoulders."
"'Wag mong problemahin 'yun, kayang-kaya kong pagsabayin 'yan." Paniniguro niya. "You really need someone to look after you right now." Dagdag niya.
It kinda hurts to hear those things since I'm so used to do a lot of things alone, but I can't deny the truth. I'm not in that position anymore. A shackle has been placed in me, and the key to be free is no longer around.
Kinabukasan, magkasama kami ni Farrah na pumunta sa ospital. Hindi pa ngayon ang first session ng therapy, natawagan lang ako ng nurse na may kailangan pa daw i-discuss sa'kin ang doktor ko so I agreed and went, at para na rin masabi ko sa kaniya na may guardian na ko at hindi na niya ko kailangang kulitin.
Sa lobby pa lang ng ospital ay nakasalubong na namin siya.
Hawak ang kape niya, hinintay niyang makalapit kami sa kaniya.
"What's this?" Taka niyang tanong pero hindi natinag ang dakilang poker face niya. "You're even begging me to change your nutritionist yesterday." Ugh! Kailangan talaga i-broadcast pa?! "Ehehe, joke lang 'yun, ano ka ba." Pagdadahilan ko. Come on! Take a hint!
"I'm going to be her guardian." Mabuti na lang at sumingit si Farrah bago pa nakapagsalita 'tong napaka-insensitive na lalaking 'to.
He raised his left eyebrow in return. "Really?" Tanong niya.
"Yup. Balita ko kasi kinukulit mo daw siya tungkol d'on kahit alam mo naman na ang family situation niya." Nakangiting sagot ni Farrah. I faced palm internally.
Okay, I give up, there's actually two insensitive people here.
"That's good then." Sabi ni Grid habang tumatango-tango na para bang normal lang ang pag-uusap.
"Ah, sandali lang, kailangan kong sagutin 'to." Paalam sa'min ni Farrah nang kunin niya mula sa bag niya ang tumutunog niyang cellphone.
"Alright, we'll just be in the office." Sagot naman niya at sinenyasan niya akong sumunod sa kaniya kaya naman sumunod ako.
