Epilogue
Months passed and graduation na namin bukas. Sobrang excited ko na nga eh, after six years sa high school ga-graduate na rin.
Especially nung sa biglaang pag-alis ni Earl. Napahawak ako sa wrist ko kung saan nakalagay ang dalawang bracelet ko na may lightning design (⚡) YUP hindi ko ka to na ibigay sa kanya. My friends noticed this too, I just reason out na trip ko lang. Sobrang affected talaga ako nun. Daig ko pa girlfriend na hiniwalayan ng jowa buti sana kung ganun pero ako di na nga girlfriend iniwan pa BOOM BURN!
Pero ganun talaga, nangyari na kaya wala na akong magawa kundi tanggapin at mag move on. I'm just hoping that he'll be fine there at sana if ever na magkita ulit kami we could talk and will stay as friends.
"Uy beshie tara na?"
"Huh?"
"Gaga talaga to kanina pa kami tawag ng tawag sayo eh. Bilisan mo ma jan! Nagsisimula na ibigay yung pictures." Ani ni Valeen na hinila na ako.
Pupunta kaming gym ngayon para kumuha ng graduation pictures at yearbook namin.
Pagdating sa gym pumunta na kami sa seats reserved for our section. Ibang section palang yung nag la-line eh.
"Val si Kevin?"
"Papunta na yun." Sagot nya na di man lang ako binalingan dahil busy sya sa ka fe-facebook.
"Owemgiiiii~"
Narinig ko ang mahinang usal ni Valeen kaya napabaling ako sa kanya.
"Why?" I asked when I saw her reaction while staring to her phone na parang di makapaniwala at nakatakip pa ang kamay nya sa bunga6 nya.
"Uy Valeen bakit nga?" I jabbed her side para mapansin nya ako.
"T-that Queenie girl died."
"Ha? Who? What?"
"That girl."
Di ko parin sya gets kaya dumungaw malang ako sa tinitingnan nya sa phone nya.
At parang lalabas yung eyeballs ko when I saw what she's looking at, isang mahabang post iyon pero ang naka agaw ng atensyon ko ay ang funeral picture ni Marielle at ang naka blue nyang name (yung sa fb tags) na may kadugtong na "In Loving Memory of Marielle Sanchez"
The fxck is this real!?
Inagaw ko yung phone ni Val chaka pinindot yung name ni Marielle para mapunta sa wall nya and there I saw a lot of grieving posts.
I felt bad about her, she's too young for death. She is may be the reason why Earl left and that hurts a lot but I never hate nor blame her because in the first place it's still his decision.
I lowered my head and closed my eyes, in clasping hands I utter my small prayer for the peace of her soul at sana magiging okay din si Earl at family nya. I know they really love Marielle as a family.
Napatanga ako ng siniko ako ni Valeen.
"Girl tara na, turn na ng section natin."
Agad na rin akong sumunod sa kanya.
My last year in senior high school brought a lot of life long lessons for me:
1. School sucks but the experience is priceless.
2. True friends will always stay no matter what.
3. We might misunderstand our parents decisions but in the end they only did that because they think it is the best for us.
4. At one point in our life we'll have to decide to choose something even it means to hurt someone we cherish.
5. Learn to sacrifice. Sacrificing always goes with pain but after all it's for the sake of the majority.
6. Never live for the past, live your present and work for your future.
7. Life's too short. Live life to the fullest.
8. Don't let regrets stay as regrets.
9. Accept the things that you have no control on. Let go unnecessary feelings and thoughts. Move on.
10. Moving on doesn't mean to forget. Moving on means you'll have to continue living while treasuring those good and bad memories.
11. Heartbreaks are just life lessons.
12. Lastly, okay lang lumandi pero wag mong namang itodo especially pag nag-aaral ka pa😁 (kayo nalang mag-isip kung paano i-connect sa kwento✌️)
Tomorrow will be an another closing chapter of my life and after that I'll start with a new one. Life must go on and on. But all I can say is this my most favorite so far and even if it will gonna be replaced in the future this will be the most treasured one.
