Over Me (COMPLETED)

Final Chapter Last Part

"If I knew it would be the last time... I would've broke my heart in two."

In far right direction of my vision, somebody started crying. Beckham snarled and punch my shoulder. "Tumakas na sana tayo kanina pa." he exclaims.

Sinundan namin ng tingin si Jexro na nasa kanan ni Beckham at hindi agad napansin dahil busy kakatipa sa telepono. "If only someone from around would feel that someone is having a hard time standing under the sun." he added.

Wala pa rin siyang imik kaya kinurot ko na sa likuran. "The hell, Escaño?!"

I wiped the small beads on my forehead and roll my eyes, "Alis na tayo. Hindi na nila tayo mapapansin."

"They will! Look, nagchecheck pa rin sila ng attendance oh?" he points at the President.

"Kanina pa tayo nakita, let's go! Libre ko ice cream sa mall!"

The idea sent a rush of joy under my stifling RST jersey. "Puwede. But we're not able to get out. Bawal, 'di ba?"

Beckham throws me an outrageous look, "Ako pa ba? Of course I have ways!" he picked something from the same trousers I'm using and an ID card was raised in the air. "One ID means a pass to enter and exit the university!"

"No!" bigla inagawa ni Jexro iyon. "This won't work! Absent si Professor, hindi ba? Alam nila na wala siya kaya hindi ka hahayaan!"

"Don't wanna know another kiss. No other name fallin' off my lips."

Tinitigan ko nang mabuti iyon at narealize na tama lang naman. Maternity leave si Prof kaya paano niya nakuha iyon? "Bago 'yung guard sa main gate! Let's bet it! Ikaw, Ives, if we are able to exit without hassle, you'll dare Jexro?"

"No!" Jexro cries.

"KJ mo naman!" wala pa akong sagot! "Bakit ba nagstay pa tayo? As if we'll get incentive by watching and standing under the sweltering weather today! Ha? Why did you pull us here?"

It's actually my first time celebrating this old tradition in UST. I understand Beckham's annoyance towards what's happening, apat na taon na niyang nararanasan itong event at sigurado nagsawa na rin siya. True to his words, no incentives coming here, pinilit lang lahat para magkaroon ng audience.

"I don't wanna know this feelin' unless it's you and me."

Hinayaan ko muna silang mag-away at sinubukan ituon ang atensyon sa nangyayari malaking stage sa harapan. The stage constructed in the vast field of UST is hexagonal shaped. There's a band currently playing, the girl, who I don't know, is singing a sad song in the middle of the day. Can't they picked the right song to play? Lalo na't feast ang nangyayari at hindi Halloween?

But the moment the silence crept us in and the voice of her boomed louder and sadder, it's the lyrics that pulled me to think things I don't want to think since we broke up.

"Don't wanna give my heart away to another stranger."

It's been... I don't know, already months and months, a yeat,you know? Next year, mag-dadalawang taon na ata. O tatlo. Hindi talaga ako sigurado kasi hindi ako nagbibilang. Afraid that if learned the correct time how long Reed and I are apart, I'll... lose it all.

The fact that... the fact that our last conversation did really happen before seem to be an... shit. I can't put into words about how I felt and still feeling about our last talk, our last touch and our last looking in the eye.

Minsan, nakakaya kong matapos ang isang araw na hindi naiisip iyon. Lucky if it continues until a week but when it hits me again, I have no control but let the lingering pain creeping in.
