Fragile (Handle With Care)

Two

I'm not afraid to fall, literally but not metaphorically.

It's so hard to fall like a cannonball when no one catch you.

Ken. Ugh Ken.

I remember Ken.

Ken is my day completer. Ken is my mood changer. Ken is my happiness. Ken. Well, Ken is my everything.

He means the world to me.

It's my junior high days when I saw him for the first time.

I found him as a cool guy. He has an irresistible charm!

He's the "Baddest Boy" in Campus.

His killer smile kills me.

His long hair is so amazingly perfect when he flips it.

He loves to play rock music on his electric guitar.

His black piercing on his left ear is so incredible.

It's Valentine's day when he told me that he loves me.

Starting that day, we became friends, then best friends as the days passes.

Palagi kaming magkasama. Going and after school, weekends and weekdays.

Mas lalo pakong nagiging top dahil sa kanya. I almost forgotten dadah because of him. Actually, I decided to totally erase Dad from my mind at palitan na ng good memories from Ken.

I forgot all my friends because of him.

I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with him.

We date each other everyday.

He always protects me, holds my hand, care for me, and treats me like her queen.

One day, naisipan kong isurprise siya kasi birthday niya. I planned it well. We'll go to a restaurant, his band mates and I will make birthday messages and banners for him, and I'll give him something, the bottle of questions. It's just a cute bottle with so may questions inside. He needs to answer those questions with me. I'm so excited to celebrate his birthday with him.

Sakto, he texted me to see him at the school park.

Kahit na sobrang layo pa niya, nakikita ko na siya. Nakaupo siya sa swing habang nasa kabilang nasa kabilang kalye pa ako.

I'm smiling as I walk trough him.

Napahinto ako saglit. Cause I heard his friends beside me murmuring.

"Nakakainis nga eh. Mababawasan pa tayo sa band."

"Yah. Guitarist pa ang aalis."

What?

Ken is the only guitarist in their band.

"Sayang. So ano maghahanap na naman tayo ng member?"

"Yeah."

Haist. Maybe I'm hallucinating.

Ugh...

I can't move when I heard that. I can feel that my heart will explode in just a minute.

I wanna run to him and ask him so many things. But I can't do that cause I feel something's wrong.

In just a blink of my eye, I'm sure I'll cry. But I stopped it by brushing my eyes using my hands.

When I reached him, I smiled a broken smile.
