"Emine, uuwi ka ba ngayon? O dito ka kakain sa school?" Noah.
"Baka umuwi muna ako ngayon."
"Ihahatid ka ba ni Aaron? I no longer see you together." Noah asked curiously.
"Hindi niya ako ihahatid." Ewan ko rin ano nangyayari kay Aaron. Nagkaayos naman kami. Siya pa nga nakikipagbati tapos siya rin 'tong nagiging cold 'yong pakikitungo sa akin. Mag to-two weeks na siyang hindi nagpaparamdam.
"Probably he's active playing basketball. O di kaya sa study, I neglect it. May oras naman para sa amin, e." I also convinced myself.
"Hmm, I don't buy it. If he were as serious about you as you are about him, that wouldn't be enough to put him off. I-tetext ka pa rin no'n, sasabihin niya sa'yo 'yong mga ginagawa niya o saan siya pupunta." she scowled.
I sighed quietly. I found myself again typing a message to him.
Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Noah. Umiling-iling na lang siya. "O sige na, umuwi ka na. Baka malate ka pa kay Ma'am Ciara." Noah kissed my cheeks.
Sinabi ko kay Aaron na uuwe ako, na hindi ako makakapag lunch sa canteen.
"O ba't ka umuwe, anak?" My asked me as I kissed her on her cheeks.
"Aray naman, My. Hindi mo na pala ako gustong umuwe ha." I said while deluding I was hurting.
My chuckled, "Hindi naman anak. Hindi ka naman talaga umuuwe 'pag lunch, e."
I ate after a little chatter with My.
"My! Aalis na ako, I might be late."
"O sige, anak. Take care." Kumaway na ako kay My.
I will walk to school. I don't think I'll be late because it's only 12:35.
Wala pa ring text galing kay Aaron. I plop my earphone in my ear. I listen to songs while walking. Wala, gusto ko. I feel like I'm in a music video when I listen to tunes while I'm wandering.
I stopped when I saw Aaron in a store. May mga kasama siya. Ang saya niya. I saw him light a cigarette.
I will pass them by. Yumuko ako. Noong madadaanan ko na sila, tumahimik sila bigla. I feel like he is looking at me. I confirmed that when I heard something from his friends, "Tol, si Emine o."
No'ng nalagpasan ko na sila, my tears suddenly streamed. Ewan ko.
Naisip ko na nakakaya niyang maging masaya habang alam niyang may taong nag-aantay sa kanya, nag-aantay makatanggap ng mensahe galing sa kanya. How could him.
He left me alone. Slowly, I started to see his obsolete attitude.
