BROKEN SERIES 1: Sweet Sorrow

Sweet Sorrow 1

Chapter 1

Kumpol-kumpol ang mga studyante. May grupo, may couple, may magba-barkada. Bawat isa may sariling mundo.

Dito sa eskuwelahan na pinapasukan ko. Walang pataasan ng ranko ng buhay, walang yabangan ng yaman at higit sa lahat walang supalpalan ng laki ng angkan.

Ang bawat studyante ng paaralan na ito ay matindi ang ginagawang pag-aaral dahil kung hindi, wala ka nang mapapasukan na ibang school kapag bumagsak ka. Yan ang SULLIVAN SCHOOL.

Nakaupo ako sa isang bench sa mini-forest ng school na ito. Habang nakatanaw sa mga students ng Law department.

Wala pa naman ang oras ng next subject ko kaya napagpasiyahan kong maghintay muna dito sa mga kaibigan ko na malapit na ding dumating.

Nilagay ko ang dalawang pares ng headset sa magkabilang tainga ko at pinlay ang paborito kong kanta. we'll be a dream.

Ilang sandali pa, nakaramdam ako ng kalabit sa balikat ko kaya nilingon ko ito.

"Kanina ka pa? Sorry...  Mejo nalate kasi ng out si Prof." nakangiwing paumanhin sakin ng isa sa kaibigan ko habang may hawak na milktea.

"Cym.. Kumakain ka naman ng matamis. Alam mo nang bawal ehh."
Saway ko sa kaibigan ko, minsan kasi pag nasosobrahan siya sa matamis, nagiging hyper na lang bigla. She's Cym Murillo and her twin sister or is Courtney Murillo. And they are an identical twins.

"Bayaan mo na Hailey...  Pag yan inatake na naman ng kaabnormalan niya..  I'll really leave her." Umupo sa tabi ko si Courtney na inirapan ang kapatid. Mas matanda si Courtney kaysa kay Cym ng 5 minuto lang.

"Oh! As if you can..  So Hailey...  Ano nang plano mo? After this sem.?" tanong sakin ni Cym habang iniinom ang inumin niya.

I sighed. Well, I still didn't think about that. About what will happened in the future. About what will I do.

"Hailey?" tawag saakin ni Courtney while snapping her fingers infront of me.

"Huh??.."

"We asked you about your plans ahead? Malapit na ang graduation. So ano na? Mag-iintern ka pa ba sa company niyo? Or magte-train ka muna sa ibang bansa?"

I shrugged..  I'm not the type of person who likes planning...  I prefer it to be happened on it's supposed to be time. Hindi ako mahilig magplano dahil, nakakawala ng thrill, bakit hindi mo hintayin ang bagay na yun na mangyari ng kusa diba??

Some says, I'm being immature for that. They're all saying that planning for the future is a must...  In my case it's not..

"Hailleyy!!?" and there goes Cym's tantrums again. Demanding me for an answer. Tumabi siya sa kakambal niya saka inihilig ang ulo sa balikat ni Courtney.

"Well..  I still don't know....  I mean tapos na ang lahat ng gagawin ko for my future. My parents are just waiting for me to graduate then after that..  They'll think about sending me abroad or whether to let me stay for the company. But, in the end.. Mom said my decision will matter the most."

"Exactly!! Wala ka bang ibang goals, except for graduating with flying colors?" dagdag na tanong ni Cym.. With her voice tone na maarte. Sa kanilang dalawa, madali mong makikilala kung sino sa kanila ang kausap mo kahit na identical pa sila..

Cym has a free-will type of a person, she likes to talk a lot, and lagi ring conyo ang pagtatagalog niya. While, Courtney on the other hand is the silent one, her facial expression is cold and snobby.. At naniniwala siya sa kasabihan na, "Talk to me first to get to know me."

"Haha!!  Told you..  I'm still not sure about that..  Why are you bugging me anyway?"

"She asked Mom to have a vacation outside the country after the graduation .. And Mom said...  If you're comin' then we can go." pagsagot saakin ni Courtney.

I laughed lightly...  I was expecting this anyway..  Matagal na ring gusto ni Cym magbakasyon sa ibang bansa..  At papayag lang ang parents nila kung kasama ako..  Their family is close to mine..  At sa edad na 22,.. They're parents can't still send them away without someone they know.

"Tell me Hailey...  Do you have something to do here? It's impossible if you don't have any plans here." mabusising tanong sa kanya ni Courtney. Ibinangon naman ni Cym ang ulo saka tumango-tango bilang pagsangayon sa kakambal.

Itinaas ko ang dalawa kong kamay saka pinagtagpo ito then I closed my eyes and sighed. "Healing..  Meditation.. And curing."
I said like I'm spitting some spell words.

I heard my friends groaned to dismay.

"There she is again..  Sabi na sayo Courtney...  She's been like that for months now. Whenever, I asked her.. She'd tell me that." puna ni Cym saakin.

My eyes are still closed... I'm still processing everything that I must be really wanted to do.

"C'mon stop it na..  Hailey..  It's creeping me out..  Are you a shaman or what?"

Iminulat ko ang mata ko saka tumawa na sinabayan ni Courtney..  Nagpapadyak naman si Cym habang nakanguso pa..

"Wait... Is that Deon and Calixta?" itinuro ni Cym ang puno na kinatatayuan ng dalawang pigura ng tao na tila nagtatalo.

"Yeah..  It's them again..  Seriously, what's wrong with that two?? Everyone knows that they've already broke up..  But, we can still see how they chase each other." hindi mapigilan na komento ni Courtney saka umirap at ibinalik ang tingin sa tablet.

"You're wrong sister..  It's only Deon who's chasing Calixta..  Coz from what I saw last week..  She wants to end their relationship for good and Deon doesn't want to." paliwanag ni Cym. Courtney looked at her with an eyebrow raising with suspicions.

"And since when did you start to eavesdrop other's personal life?"

"C'mon..  It's not eavesdropping...  It was a coincidence." depensa naman ni Cym sa paratang ng kakambal..

I looked at the people who are almost hiding at the tree. The man's holding the girl on both hands..  And he...  He is knelling at the ground...  His face lift up with sadness...  Her expression says it all...  He is broken...  But, the girl didn't move an inch..  She just spilled some hurtful words to him that will leave a scar at his heart...  Then, our eyes met....  Pain is visible in his eyes...  Pero hindi nagtagal ang tingin niya saakin..  Dahil hinawakan niya ulit sa kamay ang babae..  That's when I stood up to leave..  We shouldn't be here...  It's their private time.

"Let's go? It's already time for our next sub." yaya ko sa mga kaibigan ko na inayos din ang gamit saka sumabay sa lakad ko.

"So Hailey...  Where are you going after class?? Mom invited you for a dinner."imporma sa akin ni Cym..

I smiled at her. "Meditation."

"That again???? Seriously??" hindi ko na binigyan ng pansin ang pangungulit ni Cym sa akin...

After our whole day class... Umuulan ng kaunti, at Nauna nang makauwi ang kambal dahil sinundo sila ng Kuya nila from work..  They wanted to drop me off but I declined...  Our driver's must be on his way at baka magkasalisihan kami sa daan.. 

Pero pinagsisihan ko din iyon..  If only I choosed to ride with them..  If I didn't wait for our driver.. If I didn't stand in that waiting shade.. That afternoon... 

Then I wouldn't have to see him.
I wouldn't have the chance to talk to him.
I wouldn't have made a goal that day.
And I wouldn't ended up making a fool to myself.
