"Anak, are you sure diyan sa desicion mo?" Tanong ni Mama.

"Yes po, Ma. But I promise babalik ako, hindi lang agad agad." Sagot ko.

What's the point of staying there tapos I'll just recover, not move on?

"You can come back, anytime." Sabi ni Papa.

We're here sa room ko, naghahanda ng dadalhin ko.

"Opo, Pa. I'll go po muna sa dorm para makapag paalam." He just nodded.

"Pre, kailangan mo ba talagang umalis? Hindi ka na ba mapipigilan?" Tanong ni Wong.

"It's for the best, pre. Pagbalik ko, I promise to make it up to you." Sabi ko.

"Promise 'yan, ha?" Paninigurado ni Wong.

"Yeah." Sabi ko at pinat (pat) ang ulo niya para makapagpaalam sa iba.

Then, I went to Jia's room. Jho's not here, TyG.

"Ji.. I'm leaving na. I'm going to the states." Nakita ko na may namuong luha sa mata ni Jia.

"But why?" She asked like a little girl na hindi binilihan ng manika.

"Ji, everything is complicated now. Hindi ko kakayaning manatili pa rito." Sabi ko.

"You can, Bei. Ayusin mo, wag mong takasan." She's just making me stay.

"I can't, Ji. And just please do me a favor, don't tell Jho about this." Tumango siya habang tumutulo ang luha nito.

If only this could not be this hard, then I'd stay for them.

Not for Jho.

She has Nico now, what am I to her now, anyways?

"I'll go na muna, magpeprepare pa 'ko. " Sabi ko at umalis na ng dorm.

I went back sa house, na sobrang sakit ng puso ko.

I locked up myself sa room ko. All I could hear was my sobs.

I don't wanna lose her, I don't wanna leave her. But may someone na siya.

Someone who's soon gonna take my place. As a bestfriend, lahat na.

What's the point of staying?

Ej was calling me. I decided not to answer her call. What time is it?

3:58 pm.

I changed into my clothes, then pinuntahan si Mama and Papa sa kwarto.

"Mom, Dad. I have to go na po, I'll be late." Sabi ko, trying to hold back my tears.

"Okay, Beatriz. Promise to come back, okay?"  I slowly nodded then bid my goodbyes tapos pumunta sa airport.

"Ji, sabihin mo sa 'kin kung nasaan si Bea! Kailangan ko siyang puntahan. Nanggaling ako sa bahay nila, pero wala siya don. Sa'n ba si Bea?!" Desperada na ako.

"I can't tell you, Jho. I'm sorry." I was okay, pero umiiyak si Jia. God dammit!

"Ji. Tell me. Ngayon na." I said, my voice getting a little higher. I need to see her.

"She's... Flying to the states. Di pa siya nakakaalis pero for sure maaabutan mo pa siya. Papunta na siyang airport." Jia blurted out.

Then I got my car keys at dumiretso sa kotse. I needed to get to her.

***

"Miss, pabili ako ng ticket papunta kahit saan, makapasok lang ako ng gate." Nagmamadaling sabi ko.

"Wait po ma'am, printing." Sabi nung babae. I called Jia.

"Jia!"

"Ano?"

"Anong flight number ni Bea?"

"PR 7280, Philippine Airlines."

Then I ended the call. I got the ticket at tumakbo na paakyat sa gate. My tears were streaming down.

Pumunta ako sa paging area, at pinahanap siya.

"Paging Bea de Leon, Bea de Leon. Please call Jhoana Maraguinot. Once again, miss Bea de Leon, miss Bea de Leon. Please call Miss Jhoana Maraguinot." Sabi ko.

Tumakbo ako, at tumigil ang pagtibok ng puso ko sa narinig ko.

"Flight PR 7280, of Philippine Airlines, is now ready for boarding. Once again, flight PR 7280 of Philippine Airlines bound for LA is now ready for boarding. Please proceed to gate 145 for boarding." PR 7280, dumiretso ako sa gate 145. My vision was blurry. And I was in the ground floor pa.

Pagdating ko sa gate 145, may nakaharang na. While sobbing, I asked the PAL staff.

"Nasa plane na po ba ang lahat ng passengers?" I asked.

"Yes, miss. Actually, they already boarded for LAX." Oh.



They already boarded for LAX.










.... boarded for LAX.










That's it, I lost her. I lost her without her guarantee of coming back.










But, if she'd come back? She'll be the risk I'll forever be willing to take.
