Chapter 9
Hello Again
Abby cannot sleep that night. A part of her wants to go and see William pero mas gusto niya na huwag na lang sana. The mere fact that she is going to meet her first ex-boyfriend gives her chills.
It has been a year since their break up and it has been a year since she kept on looking at William’s pictures at night. Ang alam niya, si May ang talagang mahal ni William. She was just a tiny fraction of what has happened to his life.
She decided, she needed to move on with her life. Tomorrow will be the last time she will speak with William. Seconds later, a memory of him crushed her plan in instant.
In frustration, bumangon ang dalaga sa kanyang kinahihigan at nagsimulang nagsulat. She checked the time. It was 9:35 pm. Madami siyang gustong sabihin at itanong sa binata pero hindi na sila nagkausap pa simula noong nagkahiwalay sila.
A tear or two dropped from her eyes as she wrote the letter. She hoped after William read those letters, he will go back or matuto na ang dalaga na pakawalan ang mga ala alang minsang bumuo sa buhay niya.
Jayson received a text from Abby. Gustong magpasama ng dalaga sa binata na pumunta ng Cabanatuan. He was about to say no nang pilitin siya ni Erika na pumayag na rin. Jayson thought it was Erika’s tactic to see Abby in person kaya nagpupumilit ito.
“Mamayang 3 pm sa maingate ng university” sabi ng binata sa kanyang bestfriend.
“Oo na Jay, tell me what does Abby look like”
“Maganda”
“Nice answer, napakadescriptive. Nasa sight ko na ang itsura niya. Nice.” uyam ng dalaga.
The poor guy shrugged his shoulders. Naisip ni Jayson na mas maganda kung sa mismong araw na lang din makita ng dalaga ang itsura ni Abby.
Jayson picked something from his bag. It was Abby’s diary.
“Gusto mong basahin?”
Erika declined. Hindi siya mahilig magbasa ng gamit ng iba.
“Okay then. See you later” saka panakaw na hinalikan ni Jayson sa pisngi si Erika pagkatapos ay kumaripas ng takbo.
“Hoy! Loko --” saka narealize ng dalaga na may kung ilang segundo din siyang natulala.
Naabutan ni Erika na nagbabasa ng libro si Karla sa sala ng kanilang bahay. Bigla niyang narealize na magkaklase pala ang ate niya at si William.
“Ate Karla”
“Yes?”
“Ate, hindi po ba close kayo ni Kuya William?”
“Oo sis, bakit?”
“May natatandaan po ba kayong naging ex ni Kuya William?”
“Hmmm?” nag isip saglit si Karla. Wala siyang maalala. “Ang alam ko wala siyang ex, kasi sila pa rin ni May, since 2nd year college kami. Pero may time noon na parang naglilo si William? Bakit?”
