I lightly pressed on the piano keys once again, my whole body breaking down as well as my tears. I just couldn't do it anymore! Hindi ko na alam kung paano ako makakabalik sa dati. Even playing the piano seems so harder than before.
The tears kept streaming down my face as I sobbed, losing hope once again. Lahat nalang nawawala sa akin. Even my motivation, my appetite, at lahat ng bagay na nagdadrive sa akin na magpatuloy sa mga bagay na araw araw ko naman dating ginagawa.
As my cries slowly died down, I felt someone rub my back soothingly. I looked up, only to see Yuta giving me a look.
Tinabihan niya ako sa piano bench ko, and then he started ruffling my hair.
"Vernice, what happened? You know you can talk to me, right? I told you," sabi ni Yuta, and I looked down.
Bakit kailangan niya akong makita na ganito? Bakit kailangan niya na makitang umiiyak ako when I try to put up the I'm in my best state act?
"Y-Yuta-nii, I don't know what to do anymore," I answered, and then he sighed before taking his hand back.
"I told you. All of us need at least a friend to burst their emotions on, dahil hindi natin kayang mabuhay na mag-isa. Okay? Hindi rin sa lahat ng oras ay nandito ako, dahil alam mo rin ang sitwasyon ko. That's why I'm telling you to find some friends, kahit na kaklase mo," sabi ni Yuta, and I sighed.
"I-I don't know how to make friends, okay? And I don't know how to make someone stay! I do get some friends but they never last, that's why I get so tired trying to keep up with friends. Kaya ko naman, e. Kaya ko na to. Natatakot na akong magpapasok sa buhay ko," I shakily said, and then he gave me a smile.
"I'm sure you'll find someone who'd actually beg to stay. My friends, solid sila. Kahit na mga siraulo sila, basta't kaibigan mo sila ay mararamdaman mo na tight ang bond ninyo. That's why at first, I told you that you should try befriending my friends," sabi ni Yuta, "I'd have to go, okay? I have something to do."
Nang unti unti na siyang nawala sa paningin ko ay tinitigan ko nalang ang grand piano sa harapan ko. I used to play the keys brilliantly, but after stopping for a few months, pakiramdam ko ay pumapalya na ako. Ng sobra sobra.
Tama nga, killing your passion is the worst kind of suicide.
Because it kills me even if I'm still alive.
Sa gitna ng iniisip ko ay bigla namang nagvibrate ang phone ko kaya I furrowed my brows before looking at it. Someone messaged me?
I hesitantly clicked on the text message, to be met by an unknown number.
From: Unknown
Hey! I just wanted to say that you catch my eye every day, Vernice. One of my goals is to see you smile at least once, most preferrably because of me. Iba ka sa mga babae sa Neo, and that makes me want to get to know you more ;) hindi ko pa kayang harap-harapan, for once, nahihiya ako sa isang babae. Is it alright if i keep talking to you? I want to be friends... hmm?
Furrowing my brows, I tried thinking about who it might be. Sino kaya to?
To: Unknown
Who are you?
From: Unknown
I'm Yukhei.
My eyes widened and the next thing I knew, my phone fell to the floor.
Yukhei? Wong Yukhei? That guy that they keep talking about?
Taga-Neo siya, ah?
Pero totoo bang siya to? Why would he have a girl like me's number?
To: Unknown
Liar.
Yeah. I guess, he's a liar.
What would Wong Yukhei do with someone like me, anyway? I bet he's got a lot of girls as notches on his belt. Someone like Yukhei won't be as gentle like this guy.
