Do You Know How? (COMPLETED)

DENOUÈMENT

Nathaniel Andrada

I never wanted to be in a situation where I could feel my heart pounding so fast. I never imagined myself sending sweet stares to someone I like. I never imagined being the kind of guy who acts like a girl, I never imagined I would be like this because of her.

Never.

I was just a plain boy with a broken heart.

But then I met her, and the magic began to start.

The door opened, ilang kamag-anak ang naglakad sa gitna. Hindi ko maialis ang titig ko roon dahil isang tao lang naman ang hinihintay ng mata kong masilayan.

This is the most awaited part for me.

Seeing her in white dress.

Holding a boquet of roses.

And here is her groom, proudly standing as he anticipated her step.

Yes, honey. Step in, closer to me.

And my smile grew wider.

This is my wife.

She's walking towards me.

She's treading the trail we both want to run through.

This is it.

This is the last day she'd use Alcantara as her surname.

Sa malinaw na sinag ng araw sa likod niya, kapansin-pansin ang luha na kaniyang hindi iniinda. She's not hiding her tears, not anymore.

Her lips are pressed together.

Her eyes locked on mine.

'My angel' I mouthed, to which she smiled at.

As she reached my hand, I just wanted to fast forward things. Ramdam ko na masaya siya sa nangyayari. Ganoon din ako. I looked up above, stared at the altar for a while.

I'm holding my world, God.

Nang humarap kami ay walang katapusang ngiti ang binibigay namin sa isa't isa.
And then I remember how I met my world.

"I SAID I'LL TRANSFER!" Giit ko sa mga magulang ko. I wanted to transfer to another school. Private school wasn't bad, but students there were toxic. Hindi nila maiintindihan dahil hindi naman sila ang nag-aaral. I saw Jericho having a sweet talk with Amalthea, nakakairita sa parte ko 'yon.

She was my girlfriend, I didn't want anyone else making her happy except me.

Napagbigyan ang gusto ko lalo na nang idahilan ko ang pagkasawa sa paulit-ulit kong kalaban sa poster making contest. Hindi ko rin pinagsisisihan ang ginawa kong 'yon. Yes, I'd leave my girlfriend, but hell, she left me first.

Kaya pala ganoon na lang kung manlamig siya. Hindi na pala ako-meron na pa lang iba.

It hurt a lot, though I couldn't deny the fact that I can't summon a demon out of me just because I was mad at them.

"Bukas pupunta akong Dela Vista, gusto mong sumama?" Nakahanap na pala sila ng school. May gusto sana akong i-suggest ngunit naunanahan na nila ako. Hindi talaga sila papayag hanggat hindi nakakahanap ng maayos na eskwelahan na lilipatan ko.

I shook my head. Hindi ko na kailangang sumama pa, I knew that school. I had to bid my good bye to my ex-girlfriend. Isipin na nila kung anong gusto nilang isipin, basta ako, lilipat ako dahil ayoko ng makita ang estudyante rito; especially Jericho and his gang.
