The Song's Memory (Engineering Student #2)

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter 14

Ang saya ng mga naging araw ko nitong mga nagdaang araw. Hindi ko itatanggi na si Kai ang dahilan ng lahat ng ito. I have never been this so happy and contented with my life. He made me feel that I am not alone anymore. Even though people saw me being alone all the time, the truth is, I hate being alone and being cast-out. Iyon nga lang, I have left no choice. Hindi ko naman mapipilit ang ibang tao na kaibiganin ako o maging mabait sa akin. Hinding-hindi ko ipipilit ang sarili ko sa mga taong hindi naman ako gusto.

But that's not the case anymore... so what if I don't have any friends. At least, now, I have him.

"Love, saan tayo this weekend?" I asked him. He is driving seriously. Pauwi na rin kasi kami.

"Hindi ka ba busy nun?" I asked him again.

"Hindi naman."

"I want to go to beach!" I suggested cheerfully. These past few weeks, we are always on a date.

"Nagpunta na tayo sa beach last time, Kaye," hh said. I chuckled. He's right. Tuwing weekend, basta hindi busy, palagi kami nagpupunta sa beach. Maraming magagandang beach dito sa Pangasinan, at gusto ko puntahan ang mga ito. Kapag nagbabakasyon sila Mommy dito we go in different places instead, ni hindi ko man lang mapuntahan dito na mas malapit lang.

I don't know but I love beach, and sometimes, we waited for the sun set—which I love the most! Last week we go in Hundred Islands, and this week... uhhh I don't know.

"Kumusta, Zarah?" That was Mommy on the line.

"Ayos lang naman po Mommy."

"Are you doing good? In school? Nahihirapan ka pa ba?"

"Minsan, Mommy, pero ayos naman po. I think I'm doing well." Dati, tuwing tumatawag ako kay Mommy puro ako reklamo at nagsusumamo na isama ako sa Hong Kong.

"I have a good news, Zarah," Mommy said in an excited tone.

"What is it Mommy?" I sat in one of the chairs in our dining area.

"This year, we will celebrate Christmas there in Philippines," she happily announced it to me.

"Talaga Mommy?!" I exclaimed. "That's good, Mommy! Then how long will you going to stay here? Though, matagal pa, I am looking forward for that day to come."

"Hindi kami magtatagal diyan, though, we will celebrate New Year naman."

I see.

"Okay, Mommy. How about vacation?" I asked again.

"Well, medyo busy pa eh kaya hindi ko pa alam. Sa ngayon, iyong Christmas pa lang ang napagiisipan namin ng Daddy mo."
