Over Me (COMPLETED)

Final Chapter Last Part

I've tried, you see. I've tried persuading him to listen to me, or at least wait for me but perhaps what we did, that parting, that choosing to be over with each other, is the best decision we've ever had. Yes, may mga oras na puro lungkot lang ang nasa puso ko but thinking about the comment Clarc told me before... I'm forcing myself to at least be still happy.

To be happy for him.

"Pare, nakita ko si Eoghan noong nakaraan. Nasa mall at mukhang... hindi ko alam, pero parang may hinahanap. Tapos may kinita siyang babae at doon ko lang siya nakitang ngumiti. Nagtawanan pa nga sa binulong hanggang mawala sa akin."

Sino kaya... iyon? Pero importante pa ba? Mukhang tama lang ang hula ko noon na kung sumuko na siyang magmahal ng kagaya namin ni Lucien, babalik siya sa dating siya. And I can't find myself having a grudge to that girl, nor find out who she was because of the fact she made Reed happy again.

Isn't that what I want him to happen? To be happier than ever? Even if it means without me? Hinayaan ko na lang at sinubukan gawin nang bumalik ako sa pangarap.

"Pare!" bigla akong nahila sa mahabang pag-iisip sa isang pitik ni Beckham sa harapan. "Natulala, ha? Look, Jexro, baka nakakalimutan mo itong tungkol kay Ives, ha?"

Iniwas ko ang kamay niya sa mukha. "Wow, thank you ha."

"Welcome!" he babbled. "Let's just go! It's impossible for us to lasts longer in here. Kung ayaw mong sumama, makipagkita ka na lang sa katext mo!"

"Bahala kayo." then he started walking away.

Looking confounded, we broke off laughing. "Kita mo 'yon? Two digits, pare, iiyak-iyak 'yan bukas."

Not thinking about what the President would think, nagsimula na kaming maglakad palayo sa field. I have enough reason to walk away, Beckham has nothing. "Wala ka talagang tiwala sa kaibigan natin?"

"It's not that," he brushed his boonde hair back and looked around. "Torpe talaga 'yon at hindi ba ilang beses na natin sinabi na wala siyang mapapala kung puro academic ang tanong niya sa kadate? Look! Ilan na sana girlfriend niya!"

"You just want him to end up like you."

"Wow. Look who's talking!"

"I only have three exes, Albueno. Ilan nga sa'yo, uli?" I acted I'm thinking deeply and I received a punch in the gut. "The hell?! Kakakain lang natin!"

Instead of answering, he ran for his life but I didn't bother continue chasing him. Biglang bumigat ang loob ko na kaagad niyang napansin. "Sorry! Ikaw kasi! You know those memories are not good!"

Hinataw ko na lang ang leeg nito at kinuha ang sari-sariling bag. "Ang bilis noon, ha?" sabay turo sa bakanteng upuan ng isang kaibigan. We left ours and he was here faster than us?

Truth to his guess, nakalabas kami dahil bago iyong guard at sigurado na hindi alam na ang may-ari ng pinakita naming pass ay kasalukuyang nasa hospital. Like what he promised, he bought us ice creams from the ice cream shop and gallivant around the bookstore.

"Sana magkasama tayo sa thesis."

Hindi ko alam kung nangilo ako sa ice cream o sa narinig. "Tagal pa 'non, ah?"

"Still! Para ikaw sandalan ko kapag defense na!"

"Baka kay Jexro tayo sumandal," tawa at tinulak na lamang siya.

Si Jexro ang mas matalino at maabilidad sa aming tatlo. From Beckham's point of view, ako raw next ay siya ay far away from the list. It's not true. Sa aming dalawa, he's the most garrulous among us. We have no idea why we became friends in spite of huge differences of our personalities. But all in all, I'm beyond grateful that I'n experiencing the same passion and dreams like them. Lalo na't... sila ang taong nagpapasaya sa akin, like the same person who's making Reed happy again.
