Fate and Destiny

Wrath ft. Sorry?

MIKA

Maraming nakakalat na damit sa sahig, damit ko, ng Kambal, ni Carol at ni Kim. Pinapalayas na kami ni Vicky.

Kim: Ara naman, wag namang ganto. Wala kaming pupuntahan.

Ara: SANA INISIP NIYO 'TO BAGO NIYO GINAWA YON! TSAKA ANONG WALANG PUPUNTAHAN KIM?! DUN KAYO KAY THOMAS! HALA PULUTIN NIYO YANG DAMIT NIYO AT MAGSILAYAS NA KAYO.

Ako: Daks, sorry...

Niyakap ko naman siya, pero nagpupumiglas.

Ara: ANONG DAKS?! TSAKA, UGH! MIKA ANO BA?! BITAWAN MO NGA AKO! PATI WALANG MAGAGAWA YANG SORRY MO! KAYO 'TONG NAKAKITA KUNG PAANO AKO NAGHIRAP A YEAR AGO TAS KAYO DIN ANG MAG P-PLANO NITO?! MABUTI PA NGA UMALIS NA KAYO DITO!

"No one will leave this house." Napatinggin kaming lahat sa lalaking nagsalita, and it was Thomas.

Thom: Ara, wala silang kasalanan. It was all my fault.

Ara: Edi ayan. Go friends, sumama na kayo sakaniya. 

Thom: Ara please, wag mo silang paalisin dito.

Ara: Sino ka para sabihan ako sa mga dapat kong gawin? Tatay ba kita? Kuya ba kita? Boyfriend? Di naman ah.

Thom: This is my house, Ara.

Ara: Ayy wow! Sige, give me an hour. Magaayos lang ako ng gamit ko. Nahiya naman ako eh.

No one dared to speak, galit na galit si Ara saamin. We know that, never nagalit ng sobra yang si Ara. Ara is the most kind person I ever met, maiinis yan, magtatampo, pero mabilis magpatawad. She was the most strong woman I knew, nakaya ang lahat. She can face her problems all by herself. Nakakalungkot isipin na sa isang pagkakamali lang namin, mukhang matatapon ang lahat. Aminado kami sa nagawa namin, kaya eto sabay sabay naming hinaharap yung consequences.

After an hour, lumabas si Ara sa kwarto niya na ayos na ayos at bitbit ang maleta niya.

Camille: Ara, please. Wag kang umalis.

Cienne: Please Ara.

Ara: Here's the key of this so called yours. Bye.

Iniabot niya ang susi kay Thomas, at umalis. We are left here dumbfounded.

Thom: Guys, sorry.

Cams: Sorry din. Di naman to mangyayare kung di ko plinano eh.

Camille started to cry, and her twin sis comforted her.

Carol: Guys, walang may kasalanan. After all, ginusto nating lahat to. Tsaka ano ba? Isipin niyo nalang nagpapalamig lang si Vic. Di naman tayo kayang tiisin nun. 

We all agreed with Carol's statement. Babalik din si Ara, di kami kayang tiisin nun.

ARA

I was so pissed off nung nalaman kong alam nila na nandito na pala ulit si Thomas, and the worst part? Tinulungan nila si Thomas at syempre kinomfort siya. I thought they would not leave my side ever. Di manlang sumagi sa isip ko na gagawin nila to saakin. I was so hurt of what they done, lalo na nung oras na pinili nila si Thomas over me. So, it's just like "pagalis niya ng bansa over me" thingy a year ago. It caused me so much pain, this caused me more than when Thomas and I broke up. Kasama ko na sila ng maraming taon, maraming panahon at oras na magkakasama kami, we've shared a lot, we've made a memory that can't contain in one mind, we've been sharing love like it is never enough, but suddenly, nawala nalang bigla na parang bula. I don't know what should I do. Lalo na ngayon wala na sila, ang mga best of friends ko. If ever you leave me, Journal? Then WALA NA TALAGANG FOREVER! 

-VSG

I wrote to my dear Journal, wala na kong magagawa. Eto nalang ang natitira saakin. Ito nalang wala ng iba. I've lost my friend, at di ko na kakayanin kung mawawala pa ang mga kaibigan ko.

***

I decided to book a ticket for me as soon as possible, gusto ko ng umuwi saamin. Syempre, after one year namiss ko din naman sila. I missed my mother's love, my father's hug, I missed my annoying brother, I missed Pamapanga. I missed MNL.

Gladly, nakakuha ako, and my flight will be tomorrow at 11am. Mabuti nalang at may available agad. Inaayos ko na ang gamit ko, I don't know if I am ready to face the world I left before, I don't know if I am ready to see his family, my family. I really don't know.

As soon as I packed my things, I started to wrote a letter for my friend I'll be leaving just a few hour from now. 

As I wrote those farewell letter, I can't help but to cry. Iiwan ko nanaman ang mga taong mahal ko. Iiwan ko nanaman sila....

THOMAS

After Ara left the house dun na din ako tumira, the atmosphere was a bit awkward lalo na't ilang weeks ng di umuuwi si Ara, they tried to call her up, but I think her phone was off.

Kim: Wala pa rin eh. Kanina ko pa tinatawagan. Haaay Arabells, nasan ka ba?

Cams: Guys, don't stress out. Babalik si Ara.

Mika: What if hindi na?

Ako: Edi we will win her back! AGAIN!

Maya maya may dumating na sulat.

~To: My dearest Friends, Mika 3C's and Kim

Fr: Vicky Galang~

Medyo natawa naman kami sa ginamit niyang name, Vicky Galang. 

Mika read it loud.

"Hi! :) I don't know where to start guys. But, first of all, thank you for being there for me, in the most happiest day down to my saddest and painful day in my life. Thank you for God gave the five of you, thanks for the happiness you gave to me. You're the best people I ever met, thank you for the lessons learned, the tears shed, the laughter relished and the memories we made as a friend. Next, sorry, sorry leaving you behind, again. Siguro kung nbabasa niyo ang sulat na ito, marahil nakasakay na ko sa eroplano ngayon :) I've been coming back to my home. Sana maintindhihan niyo, it's not like sumuko na ko. I just need a break. I don't think it's a farewell letter after all :) 

PS: Wag niyo na muna akong sundan, be with Thomas. Lash you :) :*

-Vicky

Mika: I wonder how she can put all that smileys kahit alam kong nasasaktan naman siya.

Cams: Guys, aminin man natin sa hindi. We hurt her. I feel the guilt. Naiiyak ako na ewan.

Kim: We need to be strong. For each of everyone of us here. Please be strong. Tayo tayo nalang dito. Please be strong, for Ara, guys, for Ara.

Gustuhin ko mang pumunta ng Pinas, pero baka lumipad din naman siya pabalik. Sa ngayon, I need to be strong for there Girls, I need to be strong for Ara, my girl. I need to, even if it hurts. I think this is the consequences because of what I did a year ago. Pero this time, di nalang ako yung nahihirapan. Hindi nalang ako yung humaharap at haharap sa problemang to. May nadamay na. *sigh* Tinignan ko yung lima, di nila alam kung paano ang magiging ekspresyon ng mga mukha nila. They were all sacrificing, hurting, kahit na wala naman silang kasalanan sa nangyari. Purely, it was all my fault. Sorry girls. Sorry Ara, Sorry my Main.
