Click niyo muna nang mapakinggan niyo habang nagbabasa. [hr] [b]005[/b] I knew it, I had the right feeling. I knew God will give me an opportunity to see her again because I let her leave me without saying anything. I stopped in front of Sam�s house and pressed the doorbell. Kelly opened the door, �Oh, it�s you.� �Hi,� I widened my eyes over my excitement and went in immediately. I walked slowly, nervous to know that my eyes will be able to find her soon. The room smelled so fragrant as if they weren�t having a meeting, but a party. I finally saw Sam and sat beside him. �Where is she?� He laughed, probably because I was really anxious to see her. �She�s here. Just calm down.� �I need to talk to her,� I insisted as I dropped my eyes on the floor. Mau, our vice pres, spanked my head with a packet, �We didn�t gather here to celebrate your thing with your ex. She�s just here to help us gather information.� I rolled my eyes arrogantly. First off, I didn�t get here because of my interest in history. I came here to see someone. And hopefully, make things straight with her. �Guys it�s getting late so start na tayo,� Mau yelled. Everybody went quiet and formed a big circle around the sala room. Some people brought a projector and showed a power point about old buildings and old schools. Then Mau would just discuss things about it and everyone will give their insights about each place. I was about to fall asleep when I heard someone from behind. I turned my back and saw the same long-legged, pearl-skinned, brown-eyed lady that used to be mine. I was taken aback by her beauty. I shook my head, embarrassed. I punched my face and gulped the air. �This is the first place we�re gonna go to. This school is big, but once built as a hospital for the Filipinos who fought against Americans and Japanese attackers.� Hazel stepped up front and started talking about her school. I knew I started going crazy by the time she mouthed her first words. I was mentally retarded for I never paid any of my precious attention on what she�s saying. I know it�s essential for this project, but looking at her is more essential. �Ethan, do you agree with her?� I glanced at them, absent minded. �W-What? Ah. I don�t know.� �You don�t even know what we�re talking about.� �It�s about her school,� I raised my eyebrow. Someone hit my head, �Pwede ba? Makinig ka.� Mau hit my head again with that freaking packet and sat down. With a smile, Hazel continued whatever it was that she�s talking about. [hr] �Alis ka na? Sige sige. Ingat,� I gave Kelly a friendly hug and waved goodbye. I closed the door and walked outside. I saw Hazel standing by herself. I was about to walk towards her when Sam suddenly grabbed my arm, �Go easy on her. I�ll be back.� I was confused but I didn�t even bother thinking about it. �Hey,� I called. �So, how are things going on lately?� �Ethan,� she slapped my arm playfully, �You know I�m doing good. Of course I am. How about�� �Really? I thought you didn�t want to talk to me. You didn�t even answer my calls.� She dropped her jaw. I looked around; some of my classmates were staring at us. But when I stared back, they immediately closed the door. Well, they should. �Why do I have to call you? I mean, we already broke up.� �That�s not it,� I frowned, �Give me a reason why.� She stood up and smiled, �It�s simple. I don�t love you anymore. If you want to, we can be friends.� �Or we can make up and date again.� �Sorry,� she walked away, �And if I have the right to say this, I didn�t go here because I wanted to clear everything between us. I came here to help Sam.� I tried to change the topic, �So are you going home alone? I�ll go with you.� A white car suddenly stopped in front of us. She opened the door, �No need. I got a ride from someone.� I tried to draw a smile on my face as I stared the car from afar. Everything felt heavy inside. Even the corners of my mouth curved downwards because of the extreme gravity of sadness that occurred all over me. [sub][url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20c3ARtFpZo]Override Soundtrack[/url][/sub] I took a tight grip on my pocket and started walking my way to the train station. I checked my phone and saw fifteen miscalls from Lux. It was already 11 in the evening. If she did take it seriously, then I made her wait for three hours. I sent a voicemail message, �Sorry I can�t go. Don�t wait for me and just go home.� I didn�t feel guilty. Why would I feel guilty for ditching her at this kind of state? She�s not special. Despite of the painful words that Hazel gave, I still felt happy that I saw her smiles. I wonder if there were inexplicable feelings behind those smiles that she gave me. Only few people were there when I entered the station. I stood with the people who were besides the benches to wait for the stop. �Roxas at 11:10. Roxas at 11:10,� the announcer said. Everyone, including me, headed to the door. I glanced back when I saw this girl standing, holding her phone against her chest. She didn�t even take a step forward, I mean, if we were the only �batch� who�ll get inside, she�ll be all alone. I got off and felt curious. She shook her head and held on to her bag. I bet she was tired of walking�I guess�since she was barefooted and was holding her sandals on her right hand. �Roxas at 11:10. We�re closing the doors�� I placed my hand on her right shoulder, �Miss? Hindi ka po ba sasakay?� She lifted her head up, tears streaming down her face. My eyes widened as I realized who it was. She immediately drew a warm smile and uttered the words, �Ah, you came.� One question that I do not the answer rang in my head. [i]Lord, why did I make this girl cry?[/i]
