Fall For Me

Step 3: Get to Know Them.

Step 3:  Get to know them.

Another night full of nightmares. I should get used to it.

Anyway, if it’s about Sephie, then I won’t consider it as a nightmare. At least, I get to see her..

I got ready and gathered my things and Sephie’s record. Which would be my records after this day.

Kailangan ko ‘to.

Pag-labas ko, nanibago ako sa weather. It’s freezing back home. Ditto, okay lang.

Sumakay ako sa taxi, sinabi ko yung name ng university. Yeah, nasasanay na ako sa taxi.

When I got there, everybody smiled at me, kahit yung mga staff. Syempre, akala nila ako si Sephie. I suppressed my tears. NA-realize ko kung gaano karami ang nagmamahal sa kakambal ko.

And that guy ruined everything.

Next week, simula na ng pasukan. Need to study!

Binati ako nung mga naga-asikaso ng enrollees. Akala raw nila hindi na ako babalik at sa States na ulit ako maga-aral.

Well, hindi na naman talaga siya babalik.

Nung namatay si Sephie, wala kaming sinabihan na kahit sino na nakilala siya sa Pilipinas, akhit sa mga teachers niya. Dad went here together body and we did the burial at home. Sobrang galit ni Daddy, hindi niya pina-alam ang nangyari. Wala raw karapatan ang ex-boyfriend ni Sephie na malaman ang nangyari.

That’s when I promised to do something for my sister. She doesn’t deserve what happened.

Nakapag-enroll ako nang walang problema. Nasaulo ko na rin yung daan papunta at pabalik sa school.

Nung papasok na ako sa conco unit ko, may tumawag... Kay Sephie.

“SEPHIE!!” A small, pretty girl hugged me. She looks 18, pero hanggang tenga ko lang siya. What to do? DI ko siya kilala!

“Akala ko di ka na babaliK! Miss na miss na kita! Dun pa rin ba room mo?” I nodded. Ibig sabihin, wala rin siyang idea sa nangyari.

”I missed you, too! Sige ah, Kararating ko lang, usap tayo bukas!!” She smiled and bid goodbye.

Whew, That was close.

Hindi na ako nag-bihis, kinuha ko yung diaries at slambooks ni Sephie.

It starts, with me.

May picture naming dalawa na mag-kasama. It says:

“My dear twin sister. I miss her soo much! I love you SuShi!”

There, I cried my heart out, AGAIN.

I flipped through the pages and saw the girl from the other room.

“Trish. My cutest neighbour. She always ets me borrow things. PAlahi siyang nakikitulog! Haha!”

Oh, so kailangan hindi ako magulat kapag makikitulog siya sito. Must keep private things.

Meron ding mga profile ng mga naka-away niya. Wow, Nae-enjoy ko talaga ‘to.. PArang, nakasama ko na rin si Sephie.. Ni hindi na nga ako nakapag-lunch..

I also met Jenny Andrews, Sephie’s bestfriend.

”Tadaaaaaa! Meet Jen! She’s my second bestfriend after SuShi. She;s pretty and nice like me. Masaya kasama, tatawa ka nang tatawa! Wich SuShi could meet her.”

I will, Sephie.

Kailangan pasalamatan ko si Jen.. Magiging mabait ako..

I’ll try to be as good as Sephie.

After 30 mins, nakilala ko na yung mga classmates, schoolmates at acquaintances ni Sephie. Pati teachers. Thank God for my good memorization skills.

As I flipped through the last pages, my blood boiled.. My heart filled with rage..

It’s him.

“Meet Kai. The love of my life. I love you, babe! Sana mag-tagal pa tayo. Pinky Promise!!”

Sa lahat ng tao na nakita ko ngayon, siya ang hinding-hindi ko pwedeng kalimutan.

I’ll make him pay for what happened.

You’ll be sorry for what you did, Mr. Kai Matthew Canzares.
