wishing on a shooting star

Chapter 3: We meet again

I decided that i should go to the grocery and buy some foods for the whole week. I always go to groceries every Saturday. I was just alone kaya ako ang gumagawa ng lahat.

I prefer walking dahil malapit lang namin ang grocery sa house.

I was silently walking and appreciating the people. There is more people today not like in other day.

i saw some poster and that the reason why madami ang tao dahil mayroong concert it was silent sanctuary the favorite of the squad. I wonder kong nandito sila.

My eyes stop to those circle of friends who singing and one of them is playing the guitar.

It reminds all the good memories when we always jamming and i'm the one who is playing the guitar.

"Maquia"

i look around to see who is calling me 

and i was in shock 

why is she with Elidjah?

Tama kaya ang hula ko?

sila ?

Hindi maaari.

i was just look at him and i don't know if may classmate na kasama nila last night notice it.

"Maquia, oo nga pala this is Elidjah my boyfriend" she had a genuine smile

i look at him and he was looking at me too. There is no emotion that i can read to his face.

i was hurt, 

Elidjah do you still remember your promise to me ?

You don't want me to feel any hurt

I was hurt Elidjah 

please save me from this hurt 

"why you took so long Eli...." hindi natapos ni john ang sasabibihin nya dahil nakita nya ako

i look at john and i saw them, there are all here . I want to cry in front of them and say sorry and forgive me, pero hindi ko magawa.

" Maquia , we will watch a concert sama ka samin" classmate smiled at me 

i look to John, Mae,Erich, Jemar and Elidjah i can still see the anger in their face.

" sorry i have many things to do "

i replied and walk papalayo sa kanila

every step that i take it was so painful. It's like i am walking in full of nails at isa isa silang tumutusok sakin.

napakasakit sobrang sakit.

We love to watch silent sanctuary concert i was with them before but now i am no longer belong to them.

Hindi na ako kapag grocery, i just walk home and go to my room and lock myself as always.

The sadness, the pain that i feel right now there is no cure for this.

Elidjah had a girlfriend right now, he doesn't love me anymore.

what should i expect na mahalin nya parin ako sa lahat ng sakin na pinadama ko sakanya.

Jhon. Mae,Erich and Jemar they all grown up now. They look so mature right now.

We are in the same university pero madalang ko lang sila makita.

i was surprice ng makita si Elidjah Kahapon, I miss them so much

i wish i can go back when we are still friends. 

I wake up at nakatulog na naman pala ako dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman ko.

It was around 10 am and it's Sunday today. i prefer some breakfast for me and enjoy it in our garden na lagi kong ginagawa.

I decided na gawin na ang aking assignment kaya umakyat na ako papunta sa room upang tapusin na ito.

i get my paper and may pen

were should i start?

i know what i want to wish gusto ko bumalik sa past at  baguhin ang mga decision ko noon. 

alam kona ang isusulat ko pero hindi pa ako nakakapag umpisang mag sulat.

I look at the window of my room and it was dark outside. I didn't realize na gabi na pala, I walk at the balcony and it was so peaceful there is so many stars. I was looking at them when there

 was a super liwanag sa kalangitan. It was a meteor shower ang ganda nya tingnan , ngayon pala ang araw ng meteor shower.

Patuloy pa din ang meteor shower and the eclipse had started.

"July 11, inaabangan ng lahat ang meteor shower na mag kakaroon din ng eclipse.

isang paniniwala na ang iyong hihilingin ay mag kakatoo" news reporter

i remember what the news reporter said. Habang unti unting dumidilim at inaagaw ng dilim ang liwanag ng bilog na buwan.

i close my eyes and wish 

" i wish to go back in the past and change my decision please grant my wish."

i slowly open my eyes, and i saw there is a lightning come in my direction ang sobrang liwanag nya.

ang sakit nya sa mata kaya pumikit ako.

wala na kaya yung liwanag?

i stay close my eyes.

i heard some noises

"may concert ang silent sanctuary mamaya nakaka excite grabe"

silent sanctuary ?

concert?

kilan pa nagkaroon ng tao dito sa amin?

bakit ang ingay ?

" hoy Maquia muka kang tanga why you're eyes is close?"

familiar yung voice nya, Mae is that you?

why are you here in my house?

"Guys tingnan nyo si Maquia mukang tanga?"

Guys? sinong tinatawag nya?

"hahaha antok ka pa ba?'

Jhon is that you?

"hahahahaha"

i heard them laughing

i slowly open my eyes and they was in front of me, laughing at me 

i see again their genuine smile, i miss those sound of their laugh

wait ? why i am here?

diba nasa bahay ako, anong ginagawa ko dito?

bakit umaga ngayon?

anong nangyayare? 

natupad ba ang wish ko?

nasa nakaraan ako?

i look around and i was in my school where i was in high school, every one wear a high school uniform

i look again to them and they still laughing.

i run towards them and hug them 

i was happy, i have them again.

i was in my past and i will do everything para hindi na mangyare ulit iyun.

"ang weird mo ngayon Maquia, kulang ka sa tulo no ?" Erich tease me

i look to Elidjah and he smile at me

i miss his smile, he's scent everything i miss everything .

"Let's go, malalate tayo nyan " he still the erich i know hindi gusto ang nalalate.

i laughed dahil ang sayo ko ngayon.

We walk together like we always do. 

John tease Mae like as they usually do.

i was obseving them.

The happiness i feel was overflowing

ngayon nalang uli ako nakaramadam ng ganitong saya.

we reach our classroom, i miss this classroom so it means were in grade 10 dahil ito yung classroom namin nong grade 10 kami.

"tonight concert ng silent sanctuary kaya walang mawawala" Jemar

"oo naman silent sanctuary yun hindi pedeng hindi mapanood." Mae replied

they all in there proper sit and i was her at the door standing 

"huy Maquia okay kalang ? kanina kapa ganyan" Erich as me

i just smile to them 

"here Maquia you may sit in your chair." Elidjah said it

he was so caring, and still i didn't notice it.

I just notice that i love him when it was too late and now i had a chance to make all things right i will change my past no matter happened.

I sit on my chair, Elidjah was sitting beside me. I look at him and give him a sweet smile.
