Captured

Chapter 4

''That was embarrassing.'' Kwento ko sa mga kaibigan ko at pinagtatawanan nila ako ngayon. 2 months na ang nakalipas pero ngayon ko lang naikwento sa kanila dahil naging busy ako para sa nalalapit na competetion sa paris. Yes, competetion ang pinasok namin ni Hafsa at hindi arranged marriage. 

''Sige na pare, susunduin ko pa si Hafsa.'' Oo taga sundo na rin ako ni Hafsa since after school palagi kami pumupunta sa mga lugar na pwedeng kuhaan ng litrato for our portfolio. She's kind naman i must say. We became friends though we still annoyed each other pero as a joke na lang.

''Toby!'' Si Hafsa 'yon for sure. Pala sigaw eh.

''Let's go Toby I have a nice place in my mind.'' Magaling si Hafsa sa photography actually and I lowkey admire her for that. Bihira lang kasi sa babae ang nakaka appreciate ng beauty of nature and photography. 3 more months at lilipad na kami sa Paris para sa photography competetion at alam ko naman na kaya namin ito ipanalo.

3 MONTHS LATER...

''And the winner is...PTG company!'' 

''WOOO!''

''Yes they deserved it.''

''See? I told you maipapanalo natin 'to.'' Hafsa whispered to my ears. 

''Thank you for your effort love.'' i whispered back. And yes, we've been dating for 2 months now. Things was jus fast. Araw-araw ko siya kasama at nakakausap. 

''Also, I'm going back to the Philippines in 2 weeks love.'' LDR. It sucks.

''I know wait for me for 3 years please?'' Yes. I have to stay here for 3 more years. I need to study more about our company because my lolo is getting sick at hindi natin alam ang mangyayari in the future. Kailangan lang maging ready.

''Love? why don't you use the camera tha he gave you to see what will happen?'' 

''I did.'' i sounded so upset. Kasi I did.

''What did you see?'' She asked in a concerned voice.

''2 weeks love, 2 weeks.'' At hindi ko na napigilan lumuha.

''Can we do something about it? Can we change?'' 

''No love. We can't. That's ilness.''

I stopped crying  and look at her. ''Love let's go in a sight seeing place before you go.''

''No I won't go back to Manila na Love. I know you need me'' I felt relieved. 

''Are you sure? But your work is going to be there.'' 

''I'm super sure.'' Then she me on the tip of my nose. 

2 week later. It supposed to be her flight in 2 days. And Lolo died yesterday. Nasa bundok kami ni Hafsa para hindi kami mag mukmok sa bahay. 'Di na rin ako masyadong nalungkot dahil advance ko nang nalaman at nakapag handa na ako sa nangyari. I'm functioning as a normal person right now. Sobrang thankful ko na nandito si Hafsa sa tabi ko.

She was sight-seeing nang napag desisiyonan ko na kuhaan siya ng litrato at makita kung ano ang success na naghihintay sa kaniya. She's a great person. Mabait at matalino. Mapagmahal.
