Our professor in mathematics, Mr. Prime, was discussing about one-sided limit when the school bell rang. It signaled the end of the class and the day as well. Mr. Prime gave us loads of assignments to answer at home. Great. More homework. I heaved a sigh. Arithmetic isn’t one of my favorite subjects, and I have no talent whatsoever in finding out what the value of x in the expression (x+y)=c.
I tucked my calculus book in my new pink shoulder bag, then went outside and proceeded to the loud hallways. Somehow, it felt weird being all alone. It’s been two weeks after it happened. The memories are still fresh. Maybe it’s just because a bit unusual for my side. A girl, who looked familiar, but I wasn’t able to remember her name waved at me. I smiled back at her.
The sky was dark, and the air was humid. The weather seams to be overcast when I’ve gotten out of the building. This looks bad. I haven’t been able to bring my umbrella today!
I jogged towards the school’s main gate to wait for my sundo, Manong Lucas, to pick me up. I wonder why he’s late today. It’s kinda odd why he is still not here.
I made my way through the jam-packed students. Seems like everyone forgot to bring their umbrellas.
When a raindrop fell from the sky, the small waiting area became more crowded. Minutes later, raindrops started falling.
My cell phone rang. I was told that Mang Lucas had a flat on his way and that it would take time before he would come and get me. More good news. Students would come and go but still, the zone remained congested.
Thunder boomed upon the sky. It made the fine hairs at the back of my neck tingled. A careless guy, bumped unto me. I lost my balance, but then, strong masculine hands supported me. I turned around to see his angelic face inches before mine. His expressive eyes stared intently on me. I glanced away. He still loves me-no doubt about it. “Ugh, thanks” was the only words I can utter that time.
I really didn’t notice his presence there. “No, prob. You forgot your umbrella again?” he smiled showing his dimples on both cheeks. I giggled. “Yeah”. He always makes me laugh. I missed that about him. “I would gladly share mine with you” he said I looked at him keenly. He sounds so serious. He still hasn’t changed. The same Ian I have loved before. But things change. Things you don’t even expect to happen. And the thing is, you have to accept it and move on.
A bolt of lightning followed by a clasp of thunder roared on the sky. The rain poured down heavily now. The deafening waiting area now stood serene. A few students were only left.
“I could take you home if you want”, he insisted. I smiled. “Sure, why not? And while were there, you can tell me about this new girl you liked”. He chuckled. “Nope, I still don’t have that yet”.
With my hand on his, we walked the path to the bus stop, I sighed heavily. “How nice to freshen up my past!”
