Everything was still very vivid in my mind. Every single detail. Every single thought. Every single feeling that I've felt.
I couldn't find myself at that moment.
Yet six young men found me.
I've never thought it was real.
I've never thought Never...

"Eri," Ferdy's voice brought me back to reality. I lifted my gaze, only to catch them staring at me with curious eyes. Heat crawled up to my face as embarassment kicks in.
"Sorry, you're saying?" I mentally cursed.
Why the heck did I zone out? Am I still sleepy?
Ferdy cleared his throat. Wait, why does he look so serious now? "You have to listen to me very carefully and make sure to sink in everything I'll say, okay?"
Kumunot ang noo ko. What is this all about?
"I'm not a kid," I said.
"I'm not saying you are-"
"Well, you sure sound like you're talking to one. Ano ba ang gusto mong sabihin?" I arched a brow at him. This better be essential or else.
Instead of answering, he handed me something. I instantly recognized what it was once I caught a glimpse of it.
Bigla akong nakaramdam ng kung ano sa sistema ko. I can't name the feeling. I'm not even sure if it's real.
"This really is goodbye, huh." I muttered under my breath, fighting the urge to smile. Without another word, I accepted the thing from Ferdy.
The rhythmic chirping of birds along with the sound of nature filled the same peaceful woods that felt sinister at night. I was never a fan of nature yet my eyes couldn't help but to take in the almost magestic scenery around me. The morning sun seeping through the tall hues of green emits a warm and tranquil feeling as it brings color in the surroundings.
Last night, we have settled to part ways from this day on. It was a fair decision, no doubt, since we're all aware to the fact that we have different paths to take from the very beginning. I wasn't supposed to tag along with them if not for my father's boyguards - who are probably still finding my whereabouts.
Although this was already predestined to happen, I must admit that these people - despite the short span of time - has provided for me more than they should.
Hindi nila ako tunay na responsibilidad ngunit hindi rin naman naging rason iyon para pabyaan nila ako. They had plently reasons to neglect me but they didn't.
Crossing paths with them wasn't so bad, after all. In the end, they have proven themselves to me as trusworthy people with a heart. And I hope I've successfully deemed myself trustworthy in their eyes as well.
