20: Childhood Friend
Lumabas ako ng kwarto ng magising ako, 7:00 pm na ng magising ako. Agad kong hinanap si Hans, knowing na may nagbabanta sa buhay ng mahal kong kapatid, hindi ako mapakali. I stood up, wash my face and find Hans, I strictly told Skie not to let Hans go outside alone, at kung hindi nya yun sinunod, I'm very sorry Skie, I'll kill you to death.
Nang makalabas ako ng kwarto, pumunta ako agad sa first floor ng dorm, I looked at the sala, no signs of someone, I went to the kitchen, no one. I sighed extravagantly, walang tao kundi ako. Too ease up my nervousness, I went to the fridge and drink cold water, then I found a note.
Hi Sistah!
Looking for us? Nasa cafeteria lang kami. Wala inaya ko silang lahat, ayaw ko kasi sa dorm, ang boring. Kung wala kami sa cafeteria baka naglilibot lang kami sa school. I find it so cool. Ang cool pala ng new school mo no? Sumunod ka nalang sa amin okay?
Love, your lovely brothah Hans. >_0
I sighed, why do I get worried if they're with Hans? Mabuti at inaya nya lahat sila. My brother was really a friendly guy. I changed to my oversize sweatshirt and leggings. I put my single holster on my things that was covered with the oversize sweatshirt, also I put a dagger that had a case on my boots in case they'll new about my gun.
I jogged to the cafeteria and looked if they are there. But, on the way there I find it quite odd, bakit sila maglilibot ng gabi? Worries went down on my spine. This is not good. Mas binilisan ko ang paglalakad ko, I need to confirm that my hunch wasn't correct. Hindi ko magagawang maligtas silang lahat ng ako lang magisa. This is getting worst!
Ng marating ang cafeteria my automatic reaction was searching for them. May tinik na naalis sa baga ko ng makita ko silang masayang kumakain, pero naiiba si Skie, he looks so cold. Why is that? Pero bumalik ang alaala ko na pinagalala nila ako, I went straight to them and when I got near, they stopped talking. Lahat nasa akin ang atensyon, pero syempre sa table lang nila.
Binasag ni Hans ang katahimikan. "Hey Heaven! Samahan mo kami. Your friends are cool!" he said full of enthusiasm.
"Its Ate for you Hans. But, I'll try later, me and Skie should talk" I said stern. Nagiba naman ang expression ng mga kasama ko, kaso si Hans ayun, ginuguyod ang atensyon nila.
"May problema ba Heaven?" nagaalalang tanong ni Penelope
"Big problem" then I turned too Skie, he gave me a questioning look
"Let's talk" I said, hihilain ko na sana sya kaso may parang kabuting babae ang sumulpot. I recognize her she was the Taylor girl.
Looking back at the eavesdropping I saw, the Ian he was talking about was Skie, sana ibang Ian ang Ian na ito. Sana hindi sya yung Ian na kilala ko. Everyone on our place kept quiet when they saw her. Lahat nagtatanong bakit nalipad sya dito. Of course magugulat sila, but bitch, I knew her, sya ang babaeng pinagpipilitan ang sarili kay Skie.
"Ian" she called. Nabalot naman ng pagtataka ang mga mukha ng mga kasama ko, habang ako ay nanigas, that name, that gives a lot of impact on me. Pero nagalala ako bigla, I looked at Hans, his jolly face looked so serious. I tried reaching his gaze pero nananatiling kay Taylor ang paningin nya.
"Ian? Hey, that's not Ian his Skie, baka namali ang punta mo" despite being serious he tried to pull his jolly side. But, wrong move, mas naging curious ang mga tao sa paligid. The tension arose when Skie stood up and dragged me, pati mga estudyanteng nasa cafeteria at ibang mga staffs napunta sa amin ang mga mata.
"Is she the girl your talking about?" tanong ni Taylor
"What girl? At sino ka ba ha? Para kang kabuting sumusulpot sulpot. Ni hindi ka nga maipakilala sa amin ni Skie, eh. Tsaka tigilan mo nga ang pagtawag sa kanya ng Ian, walang Ian sa mga barkada namin. Namamali ka na ata nang landas?" I brought my bitchy attitude and cold expression. Kailangan mawala na ang babaeng ito dahil wala naman sya sa barkada namin. At naiinis ako sa kakatawag nya sa kanya ng Ian.
Ako lang ang pwedeng tumawag sa kanya non.
Her gaze averted on me "Wala ka bang nalalaman ha? Ian Skie Grande ang pangalan ng lalaking humahawak sa iyo. Nandito ako kasi gusto kong makausap sya, wala ka bang naalala sa pangalang Ian? Hindi mo ba alam ha? Na hinahanap ka nya, ikaw si Isay diba? Yung kababatang matagal nya ng hinahanap? Ewan ko ba kung anong espesyal sayo, at hindi nya magawang mahalin ako! Simula nang makalipat sila sa lugar namin, naging magkaibigan kami, pero kahit na ganon, ikaw lagi ang bukang bibig nya, Isay, Isay, Isay. Parati nalang Isay! Ano bang meron ka na wala ako? Nandon ka ba nang tuwing gabi mananaginip sya at iiyak dahil miss na miss ka na nya? Nandon ka ba ng inaaway nya ang parents nya para lang bumalik sa dati nilang lugar para makita ka nya ulit? Nandon ka ba nh kailangan ka nya sa mga paghihirap nya? Wala diba? Ako ang nandon pero ikaw parin laman nang peste nyang puso. Pero ngayon, na nahanap ka nya, wala ka paring alam?" umiiyak nyang sabi
"You don't know a fuck" I coldly said, pero di nya yon ininda.
The tension arose and were making a scene I didn't like it. Bumaling sya kay Skie "Ikaw Ian, ang tigas ng ulo mo no? Sabi ko sayo sabihin mo na sa kanya na ikaw yung kababata nya, pero ano? Wala kang sinabi, tingnan mo, nagmumukhang tanga tuloy ako para mag explain kung bakit kita tinatawag na Ian kung gayon Skie ang pangalan mo dito. Ikaw kasi eh! Lagi mong sinusunod ang gusto mo. Please, magusap naman tayo" sabi nya
In return Skie look at Taylor ang gave a stern yet cold and hateful look "I'm sorry Taylor, but I can't. Nauna si Heaven sayong tawagin at kausapin ako. And what did I told you? Don't even enter this school. Bumalik ka na sa eskwelahan mo at mamahinga, or else, I'll talk to the Mafia and banned you on seeing me. My reaper is here, pwede ka nyang patayin anumang oras na gugustuhin ko." mukha naman syang balisado
Every revelation that came out here, today was too much pero my gut was telling me to save Taylor. In one step I went to her side. Tinignan ko si Skie ng matalim, he was shocked, everybody was shock on my move, pati si Hans napatayo.
"What the hell Heaven?! Sya na nga ang may gustong umagaw kay Skie pero pinanigan mo pa rin sya." I turned too Hans
"Sit down Hans, and its Kuya and Ate for you, learn to respect. Now, listen to me. You all will go back to your dorms. Rizelle and Dana, look after Hans. Pag sya ay napahamak, sorry hindi ko kayo matatantsya." Lumingon ako kay Skie "And for you, go with them. Ikaw ang una ko ding sisisihin pag may nangyaring masama kay Hans. We will talk later. For now, you Taylor will have a conversation with me."
Iniwan ko sila don habang hatak si Taylor, dinala ng mga paa ko kaming dalawa sa may cliff kung saan ko sila nakita. I saw confusion on her face as she sat down on the grass.
"Your Isay right?" hindi ako sumagot
"Listen to me well, I'll tell you a story" she sat still as I start my story "Years ago, I was a jolly little girl and Skie, was my only friend, we use to be close until that night."
