Bitter-Sweet Symphony °[KathNiel] ✓COMPLETE

18. Bea

Ajax

Life between me and Sisi went back to normal—the normal her hating me. I realized it when I returned to my room with a surprise; my broken collection slouched and scattered on the floor. There's a text written with a lipstick on the floor saying: HAPPY SUMMER BABOO. ENJOY!

Dali-dali kong pinuntahan 'yong kwarto niya pero wala siya do'n. And there's something wrong with the entirety of her room too. There's something that I noticed that I can't yet figure out.

"Mom!"I called running to her room. "Mom?"

"What is it about AJ?"

"Do you know where Symphony is?"I asked without being dubious.

"She left early this morning. She asked her dad to let her spend the whole summer at her grandpa's farm."

"Tito agreed?"

"He didn't honestly."

"Yet she left."

"Don't worry son. Nature might help her find her soul again. I already called Xander and he said he'll contact Melody's father from time to time to check on her."pahayag niyang nagpatango sa'kin.

"Where's their farm—"

"Are you serious?"galit na singhal niya. "AJ, itigil mo na 'to! Hinahayaan lang kita no'ng mga nakaraang araw dahil nalaman kong humingi ng tulong sa'yo ang tito Xander mo."

"Mom, I just wanted to make sure she's fine—"

"AJ, prinsesa ang mommy niya sa isla nila. They sure will treat Symphony the same. Hindi ka susunod sa kanya do'n."

"I won't. Tsk."

"Itigil mo na 'yang pagmamagandang-loob mo sa kanya baka ma-interpret niya't lalo lang siyang lumala. Mabuti pa umayos ka dahil babalik ng Pinas si Bea at ang pamilya niya. They're staying for good."

Dalawang buwan. Seriously? That's sixty days without seeing her. Ayaw pa naman niyang sagutin ang tawag ko e di sixty days ko ring 'di maririnig ang boses niya. Asar na nagkulong ako ng kwarto buong araw. Out of sudden, I received a phone call from an unregistered number.

"Who's this?"tanong ko kaagad.

"Did you see it, baboo? Haha. You're a loser."

Sa halip na mainis, napabangon ako sa tuwa nang marecognize ang boses niya.

"I admit, I'm angry about what you did."

"That's all I want to hear. Bye Jax. Pasalamat ka wala ako diyan para sirain ang buong summer mo."

"Don't hang up yet—"

"Why?"

"Please?"

"No. Pops and I are going to stroll around the farm. Bye baboon!"sagot niya saka pinatay ang tawag.

Nakakapanghina talaga ng loob tuwing gano'n siya. Diba most girls would react differently kapag nagpapapansin ka? Siguro nga 'yan ang dahilan kung bakit ibang-iba si Si.

Sad. It's the last that I heard about her. Three weeks na ang lumipas. Buong linggo akong naglalakwatsa kasama sina Nico at Herald. The guys were bringing their girls one time kaya maaga rin akong umuwi. Pinapapares nila ako sa kung sino-sinong babae do'n sa bar. Mahirap na. Baka makita pa ni Sisi at lalo akong mawalan ng pag-asa.

Locking myself in the room, I allowed my guitar to accompany me. I hummed a few songs which I used to sing to her until my door popped open and revealed mom.
