Abandoned Heart [COMPLETED]

27: Thank You

Chapter 27

Days has passed and we're both busy. Matt Ethan is having a hard time because they are starting their second semester already. I guess he's the leader for their Practical Research I subject. I'm trying to understand him since I also know the struggles of being a student specially being a leader. I also know that he needs a lot of time to study since he is more focused on his studies way better than me.

While here I am, just finished taking the exam for the finals this first sem. Sobrang nakakapagod sa utak pero nakakatuwa rin na naka-raos kami sa first semester. I'm just praying that I'll pass this and hoping that there's no line of 7 or else, lagot ako kay mama.

"Ang tagal mo naman. Kanina pa ako naghihintay sa'yo." I checked my wristwatch and saw that I'm waiting for her for almost 15 minutes.

"Ayy sorry. Di agad ako pinaalis nila daddy." paumanhin ni Briella.

Lumakad na kami papunta sa sakayan ng  tricycle. Saturday na at napagdesisyunan namin na kumain na lamang sa Mcdo. Sinisiguro namin na magkita once a week or every two weeks kung marami kaming ginagawa. Kami na lamang ang magkasama dahil malayo si Curlyn at Cullen sa amin.

Pagkarating sa Mcdo ay dumiretso na kami sa pinakadulong table. Siguradong mahaba-habang usapan ito kaya naman magandang pwesto ang sa dulo para hindi masiyadong pansinin ng mga tao. Inilabas ko agad ang wallet ko at napagpasiyahan na ako nalang ang oorder.

"Ano ba order mo? Ako nalang oorder para sa atin." saad ko habang binibilang kung magkano ang magagastos ko.

"Ikaw ba ano iyo?"

"Fried chicken with fries. Tapos upgraded ng Mcfloat yung coke na drink."

"Sige ganun nalang din akin." tatawa-tawang saad niya

Tumayo na ako at dumiretso sa counter para mag-order ng pagkain namin. Naghintay ako ng ilang minuto sa pila bago ako makabayad sa cashier. Kinuha ko naman ang papel na may number kung saan nakalagay kung ano ba ang order namin.

I'm torn if I should message Matt what I'm doing right now. But I also don't want to bother him since I know he's busy.

Pag-upo ko sa mesa namin ay nag-umpisa na kaming magkwentuhan about sa acads. Matagal na nag-umpisa ang second sem nila siguro one or two weeks ago.

"Hays nakakamiss na sila Curlyn at Cullen. Kamusta na kaya sila 'no?"nagpakawala ng buntong-hininga si Briella at napa-sandal sa kaniyang upuan.

"Kaya nga eh. Sana andito rin sila kasama natin. Naaalala ko noon, dito rin kami sa mesa na 'to nakaupo ni Cullen." hindi ko rin naiwasang mapabuntong-hininga. Kada alis namin ay lagi naming naiisip ang dalawa, tiyak na mas masaya kung kasama namin sila.

"Order Number 142 please proceed to the counter."

"Ayy order natin 'yun teka." nagmadali naman akong tumayo mula sa kinauupuan ko at dumiretso sa counter kung saan ic-claim ang order namin.

As soon as I got to our table, we started catching up on each other's life. She's more advance when it comes to acads since they started earlier.

"Mahirap ba research?" I asked nervously.

"Ayos lang naman. Magaling din teacher namin kaya natutulungan kami na mas maintindihan yung lesson." napa-tango naman ako. Almost all of our topics are about acads and we, missing both Curlyn and Cullen. Luckily, she didn't brought up the topic about Matt.

"Tol punta lang ako sa cr." she excused herself so I just nodded.

I opened my phone to take a look because it beeped. I received a message from my mother asking me to buy something for her. I replied okay then logged in on my messenger.
