'Surprise'
I look at myself through the mirror. I am wearing a simple white loose t-shirt and dark blue ripped jeans. Wala akong ideya kung saan kami pupunta nila Rye at Ryder. They just said that we will go out of the school the whole day.
"We are not going on a date so quit looking at the mirror," napalingon ako sa nagsalita. I gave Rye a deadly glare. Nakasandal lang siya sa pinto while his arms are cross. He was wearing a white polo that perfectly suits on his black pants.
"I know," I said at nilampasan siya. It's already 9:30 am. Napatingin naman ako kay Ryder. Seems like seryoso siya. He looks like his brother pag seryoso. Nakasuot naman siya ng black polo and dark blue faded jeans.
He didn't greeted me. He didn't even glanced at me. Diretsyo lang siya naglakad kaya sinundan ko nalang siya. We headed at the parking lot. As far as I know, si Rye ang magmamaneho using his car. Pero hindi ko alam kung alin dyan ang kotse niya.
"The black one," Rye said at dumiretso ako sa itim niyang kotse. Saktong nakabukas kaya pumasok na ako sa likod kasi sa tabi ng driver's seat si Ryder.
They went inside and started the engine. Sana naman matuwa ako kung saan nila ako dadalhin. He just drive quietly. Walang nagsasalita sa aming tatlo. I just watch the view outside.
"Hungry?" Ryder asked. "Kinda," I answered. Hindi ako nagbreakfast dahil wala akong gana kanina. We stopped on a restaurant.
Bumaba sila at bumaba na rin ako. Dumirestyo kami sa isang mamahalin na restaurant. Seldom people will be seen here pero ang ganda ng pagkaka-organize. We sat at the right corner. A waiter entertained us. I ordered mine at ganun din sila Ryder and Rye.
"Saan ba tayo pupunta?" I asked them. "You'll see," what a wonderful answer from Ryder while Rye is just quiet. I just roamef my eyes in the place. Boring.
Later on, dumating na ung pagkain and we eat silently. I didn't eat much although the foods were delicious. Talagang wala lang akong gana.
After that, we stopped in a bouquet shop at bumili kami ng red roses. Saan naman nila gagamitin yan? Then bumiyahe na naman kami. Saan ba talaga kami pupunta? Naboboring na ako.
"Do you have any phone?" I asked. They didn't say anything. Ryder just handed me his phone.
Kinalikot ko ung phone niya. Wala man lang laro. I went to the gallery at nakita ko ang pictures nilang dalawa.
They are happy.
"We were 18 years old in that picture. So young and free," sabi ni Ryder na hindi ako tinatabunan ng tingin. The car stopped na ikinatingin ko sa paligid. Sementeryo?
Bumaba sila at kinuha ang bulaklak kaya bumaba na rin ako. I just followed them hanggang sa huminto sila sa isang puntod.
