The Lion Heart's Club

Epilogue

EPILOGUE

Three months had passed but everything is still fresh in my mind like it just happen yesterday. That disaster, all of us were back to normal, well atleast I believe it that way. Even though I am still stuck with the past, I am trying my best to move on. For everyone around me, I must. Life is like a bicycle. But until now, I don't know how to move on.

I still can't believe on what had happen to her. To my love. I can't accept. Until now. I feel empty than ever. Maayos ang tropa. Bukod sa sugat na natamo namin noong tumakas kami mula sa butas ay wala nang iba.

Steffi's safe. But sadly, Chanyeol didn't make it. Steffi's depressed. She almost think taking her own life too the same day by jumping from the hospital rooftop, fortunately Rio saw her and stopped her. I know the feeling. I almost did the same thing.

Krystal was sent to a mental hospital, she's taking mental treatment, Crystal Corporation is on hiatus in all of their business transactions. They also have this secret meeting with our and Daniel's Company. Maybe about the issue. Everything is fine. I hope so.

Today is the graduation day. The whole group's here. Ready to take their diplomas. I'm happy to see us took it on stage. But I can't help myself on looking at her empty seat at the back. And feel so sad as I look at Ate January take the diploma as substitute for her. I can't force a smile. She should have been here. Proudly smiling, she made it to top 10, her spot as the OIC of the school paper made her grades high. She made it.

"Oh! Picture picture! Dali dali!" Sigaw ni Rio at nagcompressed na agad ang barkada para sa group picture.

"Teka, Shone sumama ka!" Sabi ni Clyde. I just smile, I don't want to. I just feel sad to feel na wala siya sa group picture.

"Sige ka, magagalit sayo si Feb." Sabi ni Reesa. There's a pain inside my heart when I heard her name.

"Sasama ako sa picture, teka. Shane, Shane. Papicture nga." Sabi ni Rio sa kapatid ko. Natatawang kinuha ni Shane yung DSLR at iniready yun. "Tara." Hinila naman ako ni Rio para makasama sakanila sa group picture.

"Ready. One, two, three!" I tried my best to smile. Must hide the pain. Maraming beses naulit yung group picture.

"Patingin." Sabi ni Nicky at nagsilapit sila kay Shane.

"HAHAHA! tignan mo dito ying itsura ni Enzo oh. Batang hamog! Hahaha" nagtatawanan sila.

"Eh tignan mo naman dito si Clyde, parang kukunin na ng langit! Hahaha" bawi ni Enzo.

"Ayy grabe siya! Haha. Si Misha oh, parang drug dealer! Bakit ganyan yung mata mo jan Misha? Haha"

"Di ako prepared. Di ko alam na sunod sunod pala. Hahaha!" Sabi ni Misha. I just look at them.

"Shone." Napatingin ako sa tumawag sakin.

"Oh, Steff." I smiled at her. She almost lost everything, she almost lost her friends. Sakanya isinisi ng lahat ang nangyari kay Feb. Pero wala eh, true friends won't leave you. Napatawad agad siya, because we know, she needs us more than ever. And yun din ang gagawin ni February if nandito siya.

"Dadalaw ako mamaya kay Feb." There's sadness in her voice. She still feels bad about everything. I held her shoulder. Her baby bump's getting obvious ngayong mag fafive months na yung baby niya.

"Kami din, kaso uuwi muna ako. Wala kasing kasamang umuwi sila Mama Cynthia. Walang magdadrive." Sabi ko.

"Haha, dapat matuto nang magdrive ni Clyde."

"Yeah, hell true." Sabi ko. I looked at Kuya Clyde. I can't imagine that this day will come na masasanay akong tawaging Mama si Tita Cynthia at Kuya si Clyde. My real mom was here earlier. But she gotta go because or else she'll missed her business flight. But atleast I saw her. She greeted me, told me she's proud of me and, hugged me. Siya yung kasama kong umakyat sa stage kanina.
