HGD23: A DATE

"People might leave, people might hurt you, people might ruined you.. but always remember to never plan a revenge. A silence and a simple continue of living with a smile on your face can ruin those people who left you behind. " -g.balm.

A DAY after tomorrow is a sad day for me to start a new day. Alam kong marami ang magbabago simula sa araw na ito at inihanda ko na ang aking sarili para don.

Natandaan ko pa ang naganap kagabi dahil hindi naman ako gaanong lasing. I am even proud of myself that I went home safe and complete.

Nakareceive agad ako ng text kay Jonas kagabi palang. He texted me to ask me if I am fine. He also asks me on where do I live, so that he can fetch me if ever that I set on a date. And I text him that I'm going to tell it once I am ready and he understand it.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto pasado alas otso na ng umaga. Naabutan ko si Ram sa kusina na naghuhugas ng plato. I ignore his presence and I am thankful that I successfully drink a plenty of water.

Lumabas ako ng bahay matapos. Naisipan kong magliwaliw pero hindi available so ate Pearl ngayon. And suddenly, I remember Diego.

Mabuti at may number ako ni Diego, mabuti at ibinigay ko ang number ko sakanya ng birthday ni Ram.

I texted him is he's free today, I ask him if he can tour me out in this place and immidiately he replied

Diego:
Sure. Ligo muna ako tapos puntahan kita. :)

I replied.

"Okay. See you."

Pumasok ako sa loob ng bahay at nasa sala na si Ram at seryosong nanonood ng palabas sa TV. Himala at wala syang lakad ngayon.

Napagpasyahan kong maligo at gumayak na habang nag-aantay kay Diego.

I wore a simple t-shirt pair with a faded jeans and a white sneakers. I bring my bag and a white cap.

Lumabas ako ng nasatified na ako sa itsura ko. Nagtama ang mata namin ni Ram, I didn't bother to speak any single word. Hindi ko sya pinansin at naupo ako sa single sofa at binuksan ang cellphone ko, may text na si Diego roon.

Diego:
I'm on my way

Napangiti ako, dahil ilang minuto lang ay alam kong narito na sya.
Ramdam ko ang titig ni Ram sakin .
Inilagay ko sa sling bag ko ang cellphone ko at saka tumayo. Sa labas nalang ako mag aantay, hindi naman mainit sa labas.

He speak when I stood up.

"San ka pupunta?" He ask in a low tone of voice.

"Going around" I said

"Ah. May kasama ka ba? Sandali, magbibihis ako. Sasamahan kita--" he said.

Umiling ako. "Nah, I'm fine. I'm with Diego anyway. He's probably here in a minutes. " I said.

Nakita ko ang pagkadismaya sa mukha nya. Tumango naman ito.

"S-sige. Mag-ingat ka." Aniya

His voice was sounds unsure, I know that if we haven't did a fight last night he probably won't let me to go along with his used to be rival 'Diego'.

Ilang sandali ay may natanggap na akong mensahe galing kay Diego.

Diego:

Andito na ko. Labas ka na :)

I put my cellphone back on my bag.

"Alis na ako." Sabi ko at naglakad palabas ng bahay.

I know that he's watching me walking away. Binuksan ko ang gate at sumalubong sakin ang nakangiting si Diego. He looks good on his black leather jacket.
