After that trip we’re now in good state. Though I still feel nervous. Pia and Brian said they went to comfort room when the incident happen. None of them scream.
Last night I receive a text from her. She said we shouldn’t go to school today. But as a matter of fact, we have two tests. So we can’t just ditch. Shane also insist. Mababa kasi siya last time. Babawi raw siya ngayon.
Kanina pa kung saan saan dumadako ang mata ko. Looking for something suspicious. But I notice nothing. I also watch Brian. He seems having fun with his friends. Though he steal glances on my girlfriend.
“Stanlly, okay ka lang ba? Kanina ka pa lutang.” she point out.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
She’d still looking at me. We’re now in the garden reviewing for the next subject. Pero hindi ako maka pag focus.
“Ano ba kasing iniisip mo?” tanong niya pa.
“Wala…medyo masakit lang ulo ko.”
“Gusto mo punta tayo clinic?”
“No. I’m fine. Dahil lang siguro sa pag rereview ng lessons.”
Inayos niya ang mga gamit. Ang akala ko ay aalis siya pero lumipat lang siya ng puwesto. Tumabi siya sa wheelchair ko.
She cupped my face, “kawawa ka naman.” she chuckled and kiss my forehead. I felt heat cover up my whole face. Huh, shit.
“S-stop. Baka mahuli pa tayo ng prof dito.” saway ko pero tinawanan niya lang ako.
“Okay kana? Nag susungit kana e.”
Bumusangot lang ako. Kahit kailan talaga ‘tong babaeng ‘to. Ang pilya pilya. Daig pa bata. Even we’re on class she’s holding my hand. Though…I kinda like it. Nahahawa na’ko sa kaniya.
“Let’s go back?”
“Sige tara, ay mag ccr lang muna ako.” Paalam niya.
I gulped; I don’t want to be possessive but…
“Uy, ayos lang ako. Mag ccr lang ako. Tanaw mo naman e. Mabilis lang.”
I nodded.
I’m tapping my fingers on the side of my wheelchair while waiting. On the other hand, the group of Brian disappeared. Shane…come out now please.
Ten minutes pass she’s not yet coming out. I push the button of my wheelchair. Maybe I should check of she needs anything.
Shit hindi pala ako pwede pumasok.
“Uh…hey.” I approach a girl.
“Bakit po?”
“Can you check on my girlfriend? Ang tagal niya kasi e. Paki sabi nag hihintay ako.”
She looks puzzled, “wala naman pong tao sa loob.”
My heart skip a beat.
“Are you sure? Nakita ko siya kanina pumasok. Pero hindi ko siya nakitang lumabas.” I explained.
She gave me a questioning look but she enters the bathroom again. After a seconds lumabas na siya.
She scratch her head, “wala po talaga e. Pero nakita ko po ‘to. Sakaniya po ba ‘yan?” she hand me a handkerchief.
It’s mine…Shane’s using it.
“Where the fuck is she?!”
“Kuya, kailangan ko na po umalis. Tumawag nalang po kayo ng tulong sa ssg or sa teachers. Baka po nandyan lang siya.” Inabot niya sakin ang panyo. Kinuha ko ‘yon
“Hira! Tara na!” sigaw ng isang babaeng kasama niya ata. She wave before leaving me.
I laugh mentally. Ang tanga mo kasi Stanlly! Alam mo na gago si Brian! Saan ko siya hahanapin? Ang laki laki nitong school.
Wala akong magawa kahit na gusto ko siyang hanapin. Hindi rin mabilis ‘tong wheelchair ko.
I saw Pia. I immediately grab her wrist.
“What?” she asks boringly.
“She’s missing. Help me find her.” I almost beg.
I have no friends to help me here. I only have myself.
She sighed, “ I told you not to go here today!”
“I…we have test and she insist. What’s happening? Tell me!” pag sigaw ko.
“Gusto mong malaman?” she lean her face close to me, “may isang demonyong libog na libog sa girlfriend mo. Demonyong walang konsensya…walang awa. Mahirap ipakulong dahil demonyo rin ang pamilya. Malakas ang kapit…sa tingin mo nasan sila?” she smirk.
My eyes widen. No…no! Not her fuck!
“Fucking help me!”
“Huh, if I do, I’ll die.”
“What?” I asked confusedly.
“You know nothing about me. So don’t you dare command me. I already told you. But you were stubborn. Enough to lose her.” She left me dumbfounded.
Parang tinatambol ang dibdib ko sa kaba. Gusto ko mang bilisan ay hindi ko magawa. Kinuha ko ang cellphone sa bulsa at tinawagan ang numero niya. Nag riring pero hindi sinasagot. Where the Fuck is she?
Nakarating ako sa main gate ng school. Maraming mga studyante. Hindi ko alam kung paano siya hahanapin. Litong lito ako na halos hindi maintindihan ang nangyayari. Pinagtitinginan na ako ng mga tao. Sa tagal kong nasa gitna ng daan.
Where is she?
I want to cry like a freaking baby here. But if I do, I’ll be more distracted.
Nang huminto ang mga sasakyan ay sumabay ako sa mga tumatawid. Nabusinahan pa ako dahil hindi agad ako nakausad.
Old spot.
That’s the only place I know. Where the beat me when they’re bored. An old abandoned factory nearby. They do their sh1ts there.
I will save you, just wait.
“Uy, Stanlly! Kamusta? Pakay mo?” tanong ng isang miyembro nila.
“I have to see Brian. Something important.”
Humalakhak siya, “nako busy. Balik ka bukas.”
“I said I have to see him! Tell me where he is!” hindi na ako nakapag timpi at sumigaw.
“Abay gago ka! Ano sinisigawan mo?!” lumapit siya at binatukan ako.
Medyo masakit, pero wala akong pakielam.
“Take me to him. I…I need to see…” hindi ko na natapos nang may biglang matigas na bagay ang tumama sa aking ulo. Dahilan para dumilim ang paligid.
No…I need to save her. Ako na lang, tangina ako nalang. Kahit bugbugin nila ako hanggang sa magsawa sila. Ako nalang pakiusap.
