Just a Simple Beat

Chapter 11 - Intramurals Part 2 (Competition na Talaga!) ^_^

wanna know kung bakit ako ganito?

flash back 9 years ago.

5 years old lang kami pareho ni Kari that time. Klasmate ko siya sa Kinder together with Che and Sarah. I was not really talking to them. At wala naman talagang pumapansin sakin nung time na yon.

Break time. 

I was alone sitting in a table, kumakain. May isang bata na inagaw yung pagkain ko. Naiiyak na ako nung time na yun. 

At dito ko nakilala si Karinah. 

"Hoy baboy! bawal bully dito!" sabi niya! 

napatingin ako sakanya at nag wink pa sya. napa smile ako that time. I never did expect anybody to care for me since my parents are both in abroad and i was alone in the philippines with my yayas. 

"anong sabi mo?" sabi nong bata.

"Oh my God! ang bully mo tapos you can't understand me?! How pathetic! Ibalik mo yan sa kanya o papatulan kita!" banta ni Kari.

habang ako, nakatingin lang sa kanya!

"isa!"

nag bibilgn na si Kari.

parang natatakot na din yung bata.

"dalawa!"

"don't let her count into three. She will surely bite you instantly." banta nung babae. si Che yun.

"tatlo!" sigaw ni carry.

"And here we go!" sabi naman nung isang bata. si Sarah. nakatawa pa sila!

"ARAAAAAAAAAAAAY! ETO NA! ETO NA! TAMA NA!" mangiyak ngiyak na sabi nung bata.

Yeah she did! she totally did! She bit the guy. 

Ibinalik niya sakin yung pagkain ko.

"Ulitin mo pa ang your dead!" banta ni Karinah.

 We're do not totally knew each other back then. Ito lang talaga yung moment na nagkakilala kami. 

"here" inabot niya sakin yung panyo niya. naluluha parin kasi ako. not because i was bullied, but because for the first time, somebody care for me.

"T----thank you!" sabi ko

"I'm Karinah. You can call me Kari. I'm gonna be your best friend now. so don't worry." sabay smile niya! 

"I'm Che. I'll be your best friend too." 

"Me too! Me too! I'm Sarah!" 

Di ko alam ang sasabihin ko. I was too delighted and happy that moment. ^_____^

"Mind if you tell us your name?" sabi ni Kari.

"I'm Benzon. You can call me Benz."

end of flashback

Since then lagi na kaming magkakasama. Till we meet Joanna and Bam. Kami ni KAri ang laging niiwan since laging umaalis sila Che. Out of town. Out of the Country. Kaya kaming dalawa talaga ang halos sabay lumake. I was there in their house every now and then. Kaya minsan, dad and mom na din tawag ko sa parents niya. I actually much close to her family than to mine.

Kahit laging wala sila Sarah, we make sure that we still connects. Ganun talaga pag friends. No one should be left.

From that day on, nangako ako sa sarili ko, I will do anything for her. Di ko siya iiwan. At lalong di ko sya papabayaan. I'll stand by them and for her all the time. 

Di man yon nagawa ng family ko sakin, at lease nagagawa ko yun kila Kari. And I'll always will. Di ako papayag na mawala sila. Kasi, sila lang naman talaga ang meron ako. Si Kari lang talaga, ang meron ako.
