The Memories I Cherish

Kabanata 40

Lumabas sila Lance nang makita kami ni Kiara. We decided to go home. Umiiyak pa din si Kiara sa aking balikat, i decided to bring Kia to her condo. She cry to much she need to rest. Masakit para sa akin na nakikitang nagkakaganito ang kaibigan ko it feel like a knife to my heart. They don't deserve this.

Nasa backseat kami ngayon ni Kiara naka tulog na siya sa aking balikat dahil sa pag iyak. Habang si Lance ay nag mamaneho. Hindi nila alam anong pinag-usapan namin wala namang nag tanong. I guess they don't want to talk about it, now.

" Thankyou" sambit ko kay Lance nang mailagay niya sa kama si Kiara. I closed the door of her room slowly para di ko siya magising kailangan niyang magpa hinga.

" Love " Lance tapped the space on his side signaling me to seat down there. Umupo ako at bumuntong hininga, i rested my head on his shoulder.

" It's okay.... it's gonna be fine" Lance comforted me. He comb my hair using his hand. It's comforting.

" I'm so worried...." nanghihina kung sambit.

" I know..." He comforted me. Naging ganon ang posisyon namin nang ilang minuto. When he decided to go, hindi ko siya pinigilan.

" I'll text you later, hmm" he said and kisses the top of my head. I hugged him back.

" I love you" i say.

He leaned closer and give me a quick passionate kiss.

" I love you more, love "

Nang umalis si Lance ay pumasok ako sa kwarto ni Kiara. I look at her inocent face sleeping peacefully. Tumabi ako sa kaniya humiga ako and hugged her. She move a bit pero hindi siya gumising.

" I love you sis" i whispered.

Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog din ako. Iniisip ko lang ang mga nararamdaman ni Kiara. She been alone before and now it's happening again. It's hurt to see her suffering like that she dont deserve the pain. Wala naman siyang ginawang masamas she is a humble girl who just love the people around to her.

Nagising ako nang wala na sa tabi ko si Kiara. I immediately get up to look for her.

"Kia?! " sigaw ko.

Tinignan ko siya sa loob nang cr, bute she not there. Agad akong lumabas kinakabahan dahil hindi ko siya nakita.  Nangmakalabas ay agad ko siyang nakita sa island counter kumakain nang salad. Inayos ko ang buhok at damit ko bago nag lagad patungo sa kaniya. Umupo ako sa tabi niya kaya napatingin siya sa akin, tinignan ko ang kinakain niya.

" You didn't wake me up, pinagluto sana kita" i said.

" Ano kaba ang himbing kaya nang tulog mo tapos gigisingin lang kita para ipag luto kita....wag ma sampalin mo pa ako dahil ginising kita paano kung yung panaginip mo kinasal na pala kayo ni Lance tapos nasa part na na mag ki-kiss kayo tapos nagising ka dahil ginising kita, wag na baka maging dragon ka lang" natawa nalang ako sa sinabi niya.

She still can throw a joke in this situation. She's really a something.

" Shut up. Stay there I'll coke our favorite food " tumayo ako at kinuha ang shrimp sa ref at pinakita sa kaniya.

" BUTTER SHRIMP! " sabay kaming sumigaw.

Yes. This is our favorite food, i still remember the day whe failed the exam we both so disappointed and upset to our self cause we failed the exam. Kaya naman qe dicided to eat something to feel better kahit ma kaunti wala yung disappoinment sa sarili namin dahil bagsak kami sa exam. We diceded to eat in a small restaurant near in our school. Butter shrimp is the first food we saw in the menu, kaya naman we decided to order that.
