CHAPTER 26 | OLD PHOTO


Nakakatuwa na tuluyan na nga silang nakalabas sa tali ng nakaraan. It so fun witnessing but painful at the same time. It made me realized so many things that I can apply throughout my life.


It's already December but I still can't move on about the truth that was revealed during my debut.


All of us started to become busy because Christmas break is fast approaching. New year is also coming and it makes me happy.


Alam kong mahirap ang pag-aadjust ng pamilya nila ngunit hindi na ako nanghimasok pa. Binigyan ko ng oras si Race at Clark upang mas makilala ang isa't-isa. We all met with a purpose.


Clark's not biological family revealed that they let him entered school a bit late. That's how everything make sense.


Mitch can't still face us because of what she did but I understand her. All of us commit mistakes and we just need space to move on and accept everything.


All of our families catch up and I'm so glad that they are all now fine.


I can already breathe the fresh air away from our families past and I am now starting to close the door so that I can open a new one.


Things happened so fast. I didn't expect that it left a mark in my life to gave me lessons and bring it to the future.


"Hoy!" tawag ko sa lalaking nakatalikod habang nakaharap sa dagat.


Nagulat siya sa presensya ko kaya napatawa ako.


"Anong ginagawa mo dito?" tanong niya kaya lumapit ako at tumabi sa kanya.


"Magpapahangin sana. Ikaw? Bakit ka nandito?" tanong ko din sa kanya.


"Nagpapahangin din. I just want to feel the fresh air," sagot niya at napatawa.


Malakas ang alon ng dagat kaya napapalipad ang mahaba kong buhok. Tinignan ko ang kaibigang lalaki at naisip na medyo matagal na din pala kaming hindi nagkita.


Tinignan ko siya sa kanyang mukha at hindi nga nalalayo ang pigura niya sa mga Saldivar. At kahit saang anggulo mo siya tignan ay nandoon parin ang kanyang ka-guwapohan.


Tahimik kaming naka-upo sa buhanginan habang dinadamdam ang simoy ng hangin. This place is actually my favorite place starting the day that we moved from our old house. But it's almost a year since I visited this place.


"Clark, alam mo hindi ko alam kung bakit ako dinala ng mga paa ko dito." I broke the silence.


"Dito rin ako dinala ng mga paa ko," Clark answered.


"Si Race? Kamusta na siya?" I asked him. Race and I didn't break up but I gave him space to process everything.
