Just 12. Shock

The wind blew directly at my face, my hair fly as it cascades covering my whole face.

 We are here at the beach that's inside in our university. It's good thing though because when students just like me is so stress in paper work, we got to release it all here. The view is breath-taking, even before I love beaches, it's expected since I'm from a landlocked community. I'm with no other than my college buddy and my roommate now, Isha.

 In my second year in college, we decided to rent a house, because we find dormitory a hassle one, besides we didn't able to make it to the retaining policy. In short, we got evicted from the dorm. By then, Isha and I are inseparable, we have each other's arms to comfort when we are down. When we failed our exams and quizzes - most of the time.

 Actually, Isha made some friends in our block, automatically, I became their friend too. To just two it became five, I have now Maureen, Jesty and Arthur. We even named our group, "Zoo Gang". I find it so hilarious, but Jesty and Arthur made an effort to deeply think about that, so I just let them be. They are gays by the way, and upon looking at them now having a seawater fight, I smiled. Finally, I'm living my life.

"Celle, bakit ang senti mo today? Ligo ka na oy! Crawl here. Charot!", sigaw ni Arthur sakin. Loko talaga 'to.

"Hindi pwede Art, baka maging kulay pula and dagat", wrong timing kasi dinatnan ako eh.

Sumingit naman si Jesty, "Ano ka ba, ako nga mayroon din ngayon pero ok lang naman ah." Sasagot nasana ako ng pabirong sinuntok ni Isha si Jesty. "Nasaan ang utak mo, today? May I remind you, wala kang uterus! Juding ka uy." At nagsimula na silang magtulakan, "Inaano ka ba Isha? Papansin ka rin ano? Palibhasa may gusto ka sakin! Girl, asa ka kasi pareho lang tayo ng gusto." B.O.Y.S" "A.B.S.".  

Natatawa nalang ako habang natatanaw ko sila dito sa ilalim ng puno. Totoo ngang may crush si Isha noon kay Jesty, noong hindi pa niya alam na ka-anib pala ito ng bahaghari. Hindi na tuloy napigilan ni Maureen at Art ang pangyayari kaya umahon na sila. They know the drill. 

"Mangarap kang ulopong ka, malaking pagkakamali iyon sa pag-katao ko. Nasusuka ako kapag naaalala ko iyon. Bangungut feels............

Hindi ko na narinig and mga rebut ni Jesty kasi pumunta na ako sa cr. Malapit lang sa beach iyon kaya hindi na ako nagpasama pa sa kanila. 

 Papasok na sana ako ng may nakita ako.

 Si GC.

 Napalingon siya sakin at tatawagain ko na sana siya. Nang may ibang tumawag sa kanya.

"Love, wait for me. Ang bilis mo naming mag-lakad". 

I'm shocked and speechless. 

Nahinto rin ang babae at tiningnan niya kung sinong tinitingnan ni GC, which is ako. Nagulat din siya pero mabilis lang kasi she then intertwined her fingers with GC's. At umalis na sila. 

Walang lingon, walang explanation. 


"Marga......"
