HARRIET

          I LOOK around and then sigh. Halos mag-iisang buwan na rin ako dito at talagang mami-miss ko and lugar na ito. But I don't want yo come back here. Sadyang maraming bagay na kahit ma-miss mo, you shouldn't back 'cause you need to face the reality and go on with your life.

I sigh once again before I got my bag. Naglakad na ako papalabas at saka pumunt as lift. I pressed the ground floor and then wait for minutes. Nang makababa na ako, wala akong  nakitang kakilala ko na sumalubong sa akin.  Napailing na lang ako at saka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. The feeling of being sad is inevitable especially you're seeing your schoolmates with their family. Nakakalungkot, pero masaya ako para sa kanila kasi ay mga pamilya pa sila na uuwian at sasalubong sa kanila.

Naglakad na ako papalabas at doon sa may gilid lang dumaan. Marami rin kasing sasakyan ang  nakaabang sa labas kaya masikip siya. Ayoko naman na makipagsiksikan lalo na at wala akong kasama.

Bigla ko namang naalala sila. Nasaan na kaya sila ngayon? I hope they are fine at malayo sa gulo.

Nakayuko lang akong naglalakad hanggang sa may maramdaman ko na may sumusunod sa akin. I can feel his presence from my back so I stop and turn to look at him.

Bigla namang  bumalik lahat ng mga alaala namin noon kasama sila. He's different now, I know.

"Let's talk?" He asked so I nod.

SUMIMSIM muli ako sa kapeng iniinom ko at saka kinakabahang tumingin  sa kaniya. There are visible bags under his eyes and I can see that he's stressed. Stressed from everything, I know.

"I'm sorry," I said and I can feel that my tears are now flowing on my cheeks. He smile a little and then held my hand.

"Don't blame yourself. I blame my self too, but jut like Mom said, no one's at fault. Kagustuhan ng Luna Goddess 'yon." He said and then smile a little. But that smile I saw was just a fake. Alam ko, hindi niya pa kaya a ngumiti ng talagang bukal aa loob. 'Yung matatawag na totoong ngiti.

I smiled a little and drank my coffee. Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana ng coffee shop at saka pinunasan ang mga tumatakas na luha sa aking mga mata.

"Hindi mo ako masisisi na sisihin ang sarili ko. Lexus, she's not just my friend… she's my best friend.  Actually, hindi lang nga 'yon eh. She's my first girl best friend and also my sister. She always cares about me… about us. She is like my angel on my dark side at hindi niya ako iniiwan. She listened on my rants, secrets and even on small things. She cares about you, kahit na may hindi kayo napagkakaunawaan." I look at him and I can see tears on his eyes. "She smile at us even though she's hurt. She comfort her friends on their darkest times, and of course, her brother. She loves you Alexus. At kung nandito siya, 'yang mga sinasabi mo, sasabihin rin niya 'yan sa atin; na hindi natin dapat sisihin ang sarili natin dahil may nangyari sa kaniya… sa kanila. Instead, gumawa pa tayong paraan para mahanap natin sila. Kilala mo naman 'yun, 'di ba? She's very proud of herself." Dagdag ko at nakita ko na nakayuko siya at yumuyugyog ang balikat. I stood up and sat beside him. I gently tapped his shoulder and i can hear him crying.

H dried up his tears and look at me. He's still the Alexus I know. A very caring and also,  a good brother that cares for his sister. Napakaemosyonal nito pagdating sa kapatid.
