Don't Cry

009

The past few weeks have been uneventful. Just like the usual, studying took most of my time or should I say most of the accountancy students' time because as we move a ladder on our course, our subjects keep on getting harder and harder.

Believe nga ako sa mga estyudyante na nakakaya pang maglakwatsa despite of all the topics that needed to be studied. Some of them have good grades while some still doesn't get the essence of sacrifice.

Luckily, wala ng masyadong ganap sa mga varsity kaya mas nakakapagfocus na si Kit sa mga subjects niya.

I can't help but to smile by just the mere thinking of him.

"Ven, may community merienda raw ngayon. Punta tayo sa CC," yaya ni Kit. I just nodded my head because I also like his idea. I mean the money that is used for those foods is still from our parents own pockets. Mabuti nang sulitin.

Kit and I are strolling around the grounds when suddenly we stop on walking. His firm hands are now holding Faye's arms.

Nang tuluyan nang makaayos sa pagkakatayo si Faye ay agad siyang napakamot ng kanyang batok.

"Sorry. Nagkakatuwaan lang kasi kami," nahihiyang saad ni Faye.

"Oo nga," Rina said while smiling slyly.

"Hindi naman namin sinasadya," Aya said while having a grin on her face. Mukhang kabaliktaran naman ata nang sinabi niya ang totoong nangyari.

There's no doubt that they knew Faye's feelings for my best friend and of course, them being her friends, they are very much supportive of her love life.

"Ayos lang. Sa susunod ay mag-iingat na lang kayo," he said while also smiling brightly.

"Makikikain din ba kayo sa community merienda?" Faye asked with her eyes twinkling as she is busy looking at my friend.

"Oo eh," Kit answered.

"Great. Doon din kami pupunta. Sabay na kami sa inyo, iyon ay kung ok lang sa inyo."

"Why would it not be fine with me and Venice? Syempre ay ayos lang." He smiled.

They continue walking while I couldn't even move my feet. Nakatingin lamang ako sa kanilang papalayong likod. I can even hear them laughing.

All of a sudden, Kit desisted on walking and he turned around just to look at me. "Ven, let's go."

I tried so hard to give off a smile and then I walked towards them. Hinintay naman nila ako at nang makalapit na ako sa kanila ay nagpatuloy na ulit kaming naglakad.

They are busy telling stories at each other while I just continue on walking silently. Wala naman akong maibabahagi sa kanila. Isa pa ay hindi ko rin kayang makipagsabayan sa mga boses nila.

We immediately fall in line in the nearest fishball cart when we arrived at the CC. Madami na rin ang taong naririto at nakapila. The whole court is covered with different noises.

"Thank you po," I said once I get my fishballs.

"Sa ice cream naman tayo," yaya ni Faye na agad naman naming sinang-ayunan. Unlike sa linya sa may fishball cart ay mas marami ang nakalinya rito. I took a look kung gaano kahaba ang nasa unahan namin at mukhang magtatagal-tagal kami dito na nakapila.

Napadako ang tingin ko sa kabilang banda at doon ko nakita si Paris na kinakain ang hawak niyang siopao and I can see that the same boy who constantly irritates her during the victory party na ginugulo pa rin siya.

I can even see how she managed to roll her eyes at the young man named Alvaro if my memory remembers it correctly. Pero nagpapakawala rin naman ng genuine na ngiti kapag hindi nakatingin sa kanya ang lalake.
