Rules of Love (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Months past pero Clyde's mother never get well. Hindi padin ako nakakadalaw kasi sabi ni Clyde ayaw padin mag bigay nang doctor nang go signal kaya naman nakontento na ako sa mga nalalaman ko mula sa kanya.

Every night I'll pray and ask God to let her live. I never miss a night kasi naiisip ko mabibingi din sa akin si God at pagbibigyan ako, na at the end of the day everything will be alright.

Hindi kami madalas magkita ni Clyde pero hindi naman siya nakakalimot na mag text at tumawag sa akin kapag hindi kami mag kasama. Kahit ilang buwan nang nasa hospital ang Mama niya ay napasok padin siya kasi may mag aalaga naman at isa pa hindi niya pwedeng pabayaan ang pag aaral niya especially now that he's graduating.

These past few months that we barely see each other mas napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na mahal na mahal ko siya. We sometimes eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner virtually through facetime na sapat naman sa akin. He needs to be with his family 24/7 and I get that at hindi naman ako nagrereklamo. I want to be with him, yes but I want him to be with his mom and family more.

I was at the school library; finals are coming so I needed to study my ass off. Mau is with me, she ended up taking the same strand as me - HUMMS.

Senior High School life was a different experience in junior high. I discovered so many hidden talents within me, it's more like the curriculum itself makes each student to enrage their inner talents and it works at me.

But one thing na hindi ako makapaniwala ay malapit na akong makatapos nang grade eleven, what the heck! Parang kailan lang I was busy practicing for the moving up and in just a blink mag grade 12 na ako, what a magic.

I'm memorizing some pointers when suddenly my phone vibrated, naka silent kasi gawa nang nasa library ako. Nakita ko na natawag si Clyde kaya naman nag paalam muna ako kay Mau bago ako lumabas nang library at sinagot ang tawag.

"Hey" Agad kong sagot sa kanya.

"I miss you so bad" Napangiti ako, sure as hell he is kasi ngayong mag finals na given na he's graduating ay sobrang busy namin na halos wala na kaming time kahit mag facetime for two weeks straight.

"I miss you too, pick me up later?" I know I sounded like I'm begging but I have no choice I just miss him so bad na hindi ko na kaya. I just need to see him kahit mga five minutes lang then I'll be alright.

"Yes please, I'll surely pick you up" Nag usap pa kami bago ko tuluyang ibinaba ang tawag, pag balik ko sa loob nang library ay nakita ko na hindi na nag aaral si Mau at busy na naman sa stan account niya sa twitter.

Hindi ko talaga siya maintindihan, may time siya makipag interact sa twitter pero maki pag interact sa ka group wala.

Hindi ko na siya pinansin kasi for sure titigil din naman yan mamaya kasi makokonsensiya na baka wala siyang maisagot sa exam. I study few more lessons before we both decided to go home. Sinabi ko sa kanya na susunduin ako ni Clyde kaya hindi ako sasabay, nag paalam kami sa isa't isa tapos ay umupo ako sa harapan nang school kong saan may mga bench para doon mag hintay kay Clyde.

I was busy fidgeting my phone nang maramdaman ko na may humalik sa aking noo. Nag angat ako nang tinggin at nakitang si Clyde yon, agad ako tumayo at yumakap nang mahigpit sa kanya.

I hug him so tight na para bang nanggaling siya sa ibang bansa, ni hindi ko namalayan na naluha na pala ako.

"Hey... why are you crying?" He asks sweetly while wiping my tears and placing a soft kiss in my cheeks.

"I just miss you"

"I'm sorry bawi ako sa bakasyon"

"It's okay I know Tita needs you more lalo na ngayon so be with her instead let just skip this year's vacation"
