One Last Time

Chapter 1: Accident

"Aalis ka na ba, Pau?" Tanong ko. "Sigurado kang ligtas umuwi ng ganitong oras?"

"Don't worry about me, Stell. Parati naman akong gabi na umuuwi." Sagot nito sa akin.

"Oo pero iba iyon, may kasama kang mga security dahil after performance na iyon pero ngayon wala dahil bakasyon tayo."

"I'll be fine. Go to sleep as long as I leave, okay? Go now." Pagpupumilit nito kaya napilitan na akong pumunta sa loob.

I didn't get as to why Stell would be so worried all of a sudden, wala naman akong madaraanan na delikado.

As I was almost home, biglang may dumaan that caused me to lose control over the handles. I was struggling and went crashing towards the bridge but I turned the controls and hit the rocky covered road instead.

When I woke up I was no one. I knew nothing and nothing seemed familiar. I saw these people but they don't look familiar as the doctor said that they were my family.

Except for that one. The one who can't control his tears at the corner with a violet haired guy.

"Kuya Stell, sa'yo siya nakatingin." That girl with the red hair said. "Lapitan mo siya."

"Ahm..Pau?"

I reached over him to touch his face. It felt so comforting...he seemed so surreal and very gentle. I could watch him forever.

"Are you...my best friend?"

Tumungo siya saglit at tumunghay na umiiyak na naman. He kept his mouth shut until he couldn't breathe.

"Oo, Pablo. Best friend...best friend mo ako."

He seemed to be having a hard time saying it but I really appreciate that he's here with me. He feels like home for me.

When they all decided to leave I asked if Stell would come back any time soon, he was hesitant with his answer but came along.

"I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you, Stell." Sabi ko at nagpaalam na sa kanilang lahat.

My stay at the hospital was pretty okay, wasn't good but also wasn't bad. Gusto ko nang makauwi eh. Nakakainis naman.

Although I couldn't remember anyone, sinasabi naman sa akin nina Mama kung ano sila sa buhay ko. I tend to forget most of the time.

When I was finally discharged ipinaalam nila sa akin na I was the leader of an idol group called SB19, it sounds familiar and also feels like comfort.

As soon as I arrived to the building, I felt eyes on me. There was a room with five girls practicing, they look pretty focused. Even my presence didn't bother them.

I stood there and watched them practice, when they finished the gray haired girl noticed me and smiled through the mirror. Then the twins looked at me and they all ran to hug me.

"KUYA PABLO!!!" They were all so loud and it didn't bother me at all. Parang sanay na ako.

"Girls, tapos na ba kayo? Oh, Pablo. Andiyan ka na pala dito ka sa atin." A red haired guy said then approached me.

"Ahm..who are you again?"

Tinitigan niya ako na parang nagpipigil ng iyak but he forced a smile.

"Tama nga ang sinabi nina Stell at Josh, wala ka na ngang alam." Sabi nito at hinila ako sa ibang lugar.

"Guys, si Pablo."

Nilapitan ako ni Josh at nung isa pa, ang cute nitong isa mukha siyang matinong tao.

"Ayos ka ba? Wala namang masamang nangyari sa'yo diba?" He asked.

"Pablo...wala naman diba?"

"Uhm... what's your name?"

Tumingin ito kay Josh at Stell tapos hinila si Pula sa gilid at doon sila umiyak.

"Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry to the both of you." Sabi ko, because even if I don't remember them it hurts na umiiyak silang dalawa.

"Ito si Ken at Justin, saka na namin ikukwento kung ano sila sa buhay mo basta kaibigan natin sila."

"Ohh okay, hello Justin and Ken." Pagbati ko sa dalawa.

"Mga Kuya lunch out daw muna tayong sampo." Sabi nung isang kambal.

"Angge, take Ken and Justin kami ni Stell ang bahala kay Pablo."
