H Series : Healing the Girl named Lime

12

I woke up having that same dream again. I got off from my bed, get the towel in my side table and wiped the bullet of sweats dripping in my forehead.

"12'o clock. It's already 12'o clock." I whispered after my eyes caught the wall clock.

I checked my phone if there are any messages from my girls. For this afternoon there was none. So, I decided to take a bath first because I haven't yet. And after, I just squeezed myself in a comfy grey sweatpants and a loose black shirt with a large domokun print.

Kaninang umaga, nagluto ako tas syempre kumain. Pagkatapos umakyat ako ng kwarto tas nagbasa. Tapos nakatulog ulit. HAHAHAHAHA.

Nagdiretso ako pababa ng kusina para magluto ng tanghalian namin. Tatlong araw na ako lang ang nagluluto. Hindi kami makumpleto sa hapag simula noong napanood namin iyon. Minsan ako lang. Minsan kasabay ko si Frost. Pero ni minsan hindi ko na nakasabay ulit kumain si Ridge.

I want to clarify some things with Ridge. I'm here to let go and heal. So, whatever I'll discover will be my evaluation if I really am healing.

Nagluto ako ng simpleng tanghalian. Rice, crispy fried pork and baecons. Nagtimpla ako ng ice coffee at nilagyan iyon ng maraming ice cubes. Naghain pa din ako sa dining table incase na bumaba na sila.

While I was silently eating, I heard a shuffling sound of someone walking towards the dining area.

Siguro si Frost....

Sambit ko sa isip isip ko. I continued to eat but to my surprise I saw Ridge. He was surprised when he saw me. We're both surprised actually.

Tumikhim lang ako at nagsimula na ulit kumain. Nakita kong kumuha siya ng pinggan at naupo sa may harapan ko. If I would be greedy, this is my chance to clarify things out.

But, wouldn't it be rude if I will ask him a question while he's eating?

"Uhmmm, Ridge..." panimula ko at nag angat naman siya ng tingin sa akin.

"Hmm?" he simply answered.

"About what we watched, can you enlighten me?" muntik na siyang mabulunan kaya agad kong naiabot ang baso kong punong puno ng iced coffee pero tinanggihan niya.

"What?" tanong niya nung makarecover siya.

"Di ba kase, we seemed close when we were little. What happened?" maingat ko pa ding tanong sa kanya.

"I went to States. That happened." he simply answered.

Silence fell between us. He was chewing his food while I was busy staring at him. I wonder....

"How come I can't remember you?" he stopped chewing and looked at me seriously.

"We're just nine years old. Do you have a good memory or do you forget something easily? I think it was the latter. You can't trust your brain." he bitterly answered.

Nakuha pa akong maliitin! Ang mean ha?! Porket ba makakalimutin ako?!

"Siguro hindi nga lang kita maalala pero hindi pa naman huli ang lahat di ba? We can still be friends." I said filled with hope.

"Friends huh? You don't want to be friends with me." he replied sarcastically.

Napasinghap ako ng wala sa oras sa narinig ko. He's really rude....
