Novel & Cerita These Past Few Weeks

Weeks passed by so fast at ngayon ay isang linggo na lang bago ang final exam week namin. Hindi ko alam kung paano namin nalagpasan ang dalawang buong linggo na tadtad ng quizzes at deadlines ng final requirements. Ngayon ay dedicated na lang itong week na ito para matutukan namin ang pagre-review para sa upcoming exams next week.

Umirap ako at umalis na ng kompanya at baka may mapatay pa ako. I called Zander but just like these past few days, his phone just kept on ringing. We haven’t seen each other for almost two weeks now. I was busy last week with the project that dad just handed so easily to Ella and this week he’s busy with his photoshoot. Since I’m jobless right now might as well make up to him.

“We have a few more days before our classes resume. Take your time.” Leana had been going out a lot these days. She barely settles in their house now, especially in the afternoon. For the past few days, I’ve been going out with her just to go to the places we once went to. We don’t do anything when we go there. We would just sit and stare at nothingness. It’s almost like we’re just reminiscing about the past.

"I-Ikaw bahala... Pero okay lang sa akin ang wala. Sapat nang pumunta ulit ako rito mamaya." Natahimik siya sandali. Tapos-- "But is it your red days, Michelle?" Nanlaki ang aking mata. Hindi ko na napansin dahil masyado akong busy sa pag-aaral at napepressure sa mga nagdaang linggo. "Paano mo nalaman?" "We've been doing this for so many months, Michelle. And I know every single detail--"

Ani ni Jaez na kunwari'y naubo ito. Lumuhod naman ako upang magkaroon ako ng mas comfortable na pwesto at nag angat ng tingin kay Jaez habang dahan-dahan na pinapasok sa bibig ko ang malaki niyang pagkalalake, damn it's been 2weeks na hindi namin ginagawa ang bagay na ito dahil bukod sa wala akong gana ay nag dadalamhati kaming pareho kaya sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam na makita muli ang mukha ni Jaez na akit na akit sa akin.

We kiss, we hug, we make out and sometimes it becomes pretty intense na nakakalimot kami pareho but there was always a thin line of self-control on our part. Noong una ay kinakain ako ng guilt pero nitong huli ay natatakpan na lang iyon ng kasayahan at iyong kagutuhan kong makasama siya nang matagal but these past few days were different. Sabi niya ay hell week daw sa Senior High kaya wala siyang oras. Hindi ko aman na initindi. That last decent conversation we had was almost three weeks ago... I missed him. "Haley, can I have this dance?"

Pagkapasok n'ya sa loob ng kwarto ay pabagsak s'yang nahiga sa kama habang ang mga mata ay nasa kisame na animo'y may binabasa doon. It's been a week na wala s'yang narinig mula kay Luke simula ng huling kita nila sa La Car's. Hindi na rin s'ya bumalik doon at nag-isip na lang ng ibang paraan kung paano makapasok sa naturang car shop.

Tahimik at nakakapag-relax ang utak ko. I don't know but I love the peace and silence this place is giving. It feels like I'm–Home? "Storm, are you free next Saturday?" It was Val again. Ilang linggo na ito nagtatanong kung kelan ako bakante pero palagi kong sagot sa kanya ay busy ako. "Baka kasi maging busy na kami simula next week." Pansin ko this past few days nagdagdag sila ng security. Hindi ko alam kung kelan ako maging free ulit."

"At bakit naman? Is he being violent to you?" Mas lalo naman ako napabuntong hininga sabay napanguso habang kumukuha ng hati sa pancake. "Sana nga gano'n na lang eh. It's already been a week, pero..." Sabay subo sa pagkain. "Patagal nang patagal, palandi nang palandi." I murmured.

Ngayong araw na gaganapin ang labanan sa pagitan naming apat. Five days have passed since I learned about my mother's accident. Supposedly, the duel should be held two days after that but Lolo gave me time to fully recover. My body is fine but my mind keeps straying, I've been restless these past few days because of too much concern.
