The lost Piece

'' MIIIII mamaya na naman yang cp! '' napairap nalang ako sa kaibigan kong si
Presty, kita ko ang naniningkit niyang mga mata na para bang gusto nakong tusukin
ng hawak niyang ballpen

She calls me Mi Sha, or Mami Sha wala lang naging call sign nadin naming dalawa, I
call her nak because I feel like treating her as my own. Im older than her, 2 years
ang gap ng age naming dalawa, and you may ask why same year level lang grade namin
Im a teenager mom and because of this I stop for 2 years that explain why mas
matanda ako sa kanya kahit kasing year level ko siya, and that's why she decided to
call me Mami instead of Ate.

'' Saglit nalang toh, tinitingnan ko lang '' palusot ko naman sa kanya

'' Anong saglit, isang buong oras ang inubos mo kakaulit ulit ng salitang 'saglit'
Mami, marami pa tayong hahabulin '' well why maraming hahabulin ewan din naming
dalawa, naging routine na namin ang mag absent kaya ito halos huling huli kami sa
lahat, reason why? Family problems that I would rather keep just for the two of us,
ofcourse she trust me to keep her secrets and she do the same for me.

'' Teka promise las- '' di pako natatapos sa pag sasalita ng isarado niya ang
laptop na ginagamit ko sa pag babasa ng wattpad stories

'' Mii tingnan mo, susundo-sundoin mo ko sa bahay namin para gumawa tapos ikaw
naman itong hindi gumagawa ''
nginitian ko lang siya at sumunod nadin sa pag gawa ng mga outputs at mga left
assignments namin na dapat na ding ipasa bago pa kami abutan ng exam.

Natapos kami sa ginagawa namin, She look so tired so I decided to take her with me
to buy some snacks and get some fresh air by the side of the lake, I know she needs
to see the lake view to ease a bit of her stress.

'' Nak.. '' tinawag ko siya, she look at me with a smile plastered over her angelic
face, but for me that wasn't a smile It's a mask to cover all of her pain.

'' You know naman na 'It's okay not to be okay' right? '' duon ko na nasilayan ang
pag lamlam ng kanyang mabibilog na kulay tsokolateng mga mata.

'' Akala ko kaya ko na, ang hirap paden pala Mi '' she looks away, her thoughts
grew deeper as she stare at the calm water of the lake, I breathe in and out and
tap her shoulders.

'' As you look at that lake, alam kong parang nakaka inggit kasi para bang wala
siyang pino-problema na para bang ang sarap nalang maging katulad ng tubig, sabay
lang sa agos ''
'' Pero tuwing dadaan ang bagyo, malakas na ulan, malakas na hangin, ang kalmadong
tubig nayan ay para ding agresibong mga hayop na nag wawala malakas at malalaking
alon, it's just like us humans, We tend to break , We tend to be in mess, We tend
to be in pain, nakakapagod. But just like the waves it's just some challenges that
we need to conquer because after all the strong big waves is a new light for you to
continue your life ahead tandaan mo Nak, alon lang yan kayang kaya mo yang
sagwanin, just be strong hindi lang para sa mga kapatid mo pero para nadin sa
sarili mo '' I saw a tear escape her beautiful eyes, I know kaya niya.

'' And always remember that Im always her for you no matter what happens, through
your up's and down's, I'll be the first one who'll be proud when you're at your
best and be your comforter when you're at your worst, I'll kiss your scars to heal,
and I'll hug your flaws for you to realize that you must accept it for who you are
because that whats make you WHOLE as you, Your perfect through your Imperfections
''

I hug her and let her cry on my shoulders, because Im not just her Friend, Im her
older sister and at the same time her mother.

Lumipas ang mga buwan ay mas lalo kaming naging close sa isa't isa until she
learned how to make new friends, a girl at her age came into picture, isa din siya
sa mga kaklase namin. She barely speak nor interact with our other classmates kaya
medyo hindi kami madikit sa isa't isa.

Days past by naging mas malapit sila, her name is Coleen. I treated her how I treat
Presty halos yung naging bond namin ay lalong tumibay, the only difference is
she's closer to Presty, napag alaman kong halos gabi-gabi silang mag ka chat, sa
lunch naman ay mag kasama din sila while Im with my other friends and Im happy for
Presty kasi atleast even without me she's not alone, andun si Coleen for her.

[ Nak, isang linggo ka nang hindi pumapasok ] sent*

I chat her kasi nag aalala nako, hindi na din siya nag o-open up sakin, at halos
sinasara na niya ako sa kanya, I think she's trying to keep all her problems to
herself alone, natatakot ako she might do something harmful. Hindi nga ako nag
kamali at nangyari ang kinakatakutan ko nag reply siya pero iba ang dating nito
sakin.

[ Mi, I miss you. Tandaan mo Mahal na mahal kita ah ] her chat*

[ Nak bakit iba ang dating ng message mo sakin, pls don't you know Im talking about
]

[ Sorry Mi, hirap na hirap nako, nakakapagod na ]

[ Tumigil ka dyan PRESTY! ] parang binalot ng yelo ang puso ko, halos para akong
drum na kinakalampag sa bilis ng kabog ng puso ko, hindi maari at hindi pwede. God,
please give me strength to help her, Ayaw ko I dont wanna lose her.
[ PLEASE NAK NO ]

[ LA
