Kabanata 28

“Sa tingin mo tama lang na bigyan ko siya ng isa pang pagkakataon?” tanong ko kay Keith habang nakaupo siya sa kabilang swing.

“You know what? I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.”

Ngumuso ako at dahan-dahang nagswing. “You think so?”

He strummed his guitar first before looking at me. “Of course. Lahat ng tao karapat-dapat lang bigyan ng isa pang pagkakataon kasi lahat naman tayo nagkakamali, eh. At kapag naman nagkamali ka, admit it. Admit that you commit a mistake and start all over again. That’s life, Michelle Raye. You would never know you’re on the right path if you won’t change your direction. And you would never know that a certain person is worthy if you won’t give him a second chance.”

I sighed. May punto rin naman siya. Isang buwan na rin ang nakakalipas simula noong nag-usap kami. At sa loob ng isang buwan ay wala siyang ibang ipinakita sa akin kung hindi ay kabaitan. He did prove to me that he was willing to make it up for me.
