The following day went bad. We barely chat and call. Today is my second week here in Tarlac. Ode, Ken, and I had a good bond which led to unexpected friendship. Ken has a lot of things we are common in. He admires anything that can be seen in sky—one of our similarities. We're bearing the same chinese zodiac sign, too.
Sabi rin ni Ken ay malaki ang tyansang maging magkaklase kami. Roon din pala sa Dela Vista National Highschool ito pumapasok. I am happy that I gained a friend. Ken and I, we're finally friends. Hindi siya gano'ng kahirap kasama. He's bubbly and cool to be with.
Sa totoo lang ay nakikita ko sa kaniya si Renz. My patience for waiting Renz became longer. Sa mga araw na nagdaan na kasama ko si Ken ay pakiramdam ko'y kasama ko na rin si Renz.
But the memories created here is nothing compared to the moments Renz and I had shared.
"Lalim ng iniisip ah." Puna ni Ken sa ikinikilos ko.
"Wala—uhmm... Gabi na, ah? Hindi pa ba kayo inaantok ni Ode?" Tanong ko pabalik. Hindi siya sumagot at pinitik lang ang noo ko. I frowned at him and did the same thing.
"Natututo ka ng manakit, ah?"
"Tsh, nananakit naman talaga ako." may nasaktan na nga ako, e.
Nakatambay sila ngayon dito sa mansyon. Sinabi ko na sa kanila na baka mapagalitan si Odysseus kung hindi pa siya uuwi ngunit makulit siya at ipinipilit na rito na lang muling matulog. Ang totoo ay gusto ko munang mapag-isa.
Titignan ko lang kung makakausap ko na ba si Nath ngayon. I don't know if he's avoiding my calls or he's just busy. Inaalala ko tuloy kung nasabi ko na ba sa kaniyang hindi na tuloy ang paglipat ko.
But when I tried to call him again... It just kept ringing until I got annoyed and upset. I called Lei instead.
"Can you check him for me?" Naalala ko kasing magkalapit lang sila ng bahay. Nababahala na kasi talaga ko sa ikinikilos ni Nath but it isn't visible in my actions. I am not that bothered. Gusto ko lang malaman kung anong ginagawa niya, iyon lang.
[Mamaya na lang! Magkasama kami ni Jiro ngayon, e.]
"Sige, hihintayin ko." Nag-aalangan kong tugon.
"Wala namang dapat ikabahala! Ano ka ba! Kaso nadaanan ko ata yung bahay ni Natanyel tapos may nakita akong sasakyan na nakaparada sa tapat. O sige na, babye!"
And the next thing I knew was I went home with a horrendous expression on my face.
Look who promised to stay but isn't a one call away.
"I need you " I started to type a message for Nath. He's giving a head ache. I don't want to overthink things since I adopted the attitude of having a trust issue.
I can't take the feeling of thinking that anyone has the capability of leaving me behind after all what I did for them. The feeling of being weak because you've been hurt by someone you once trust. You once love.
"I have a bad day..." I sent my messages to him. Each in a minute-gap—imitating his move when he texted me last time.
"Anak, what's with the look?" My mom gave me a sharp look yet with sympathy. She knows me very well, but not to the point of surpassing my knowledge about my self. Nadaanan ko sila at mukhang hinihintay nila ako bago sila magsimulang kumain.
"Hindi na muna po ako kakain ng hapunan, busog pa po ako." I went upstairs and locked my room. Luckily, my friend didn't insist of staying here. I don't wanna burst out while someone's watching every second of me crying.
I rested my head and faced the ceiling. I was expecting to see my zodiac sign but it turned out that some of our memories flashed on my mind, slowly.
