WALLFLOWER 4

Harris's POV

Abala ako sa pagda-drawing sa likod ng mga pages ng librong hiniram ko sa Library, kasalukuyan kaming nasa Otaku club ni Leon. Kami ang nakaduty ngayon para mag bantay sa Club.

"It's about time you showed it to me already." Leon said. I faced him and grinned.

"No way!"

"Come on, its fine, right?" he replied.

"Oh! Time to out, bye bro's" I said while picking my things then left the room.

I chuckled when I saw Leon pissed face because of me.

"Please come to the rooftop"

Whaaat!? Dahil sa gulat ay hindi agad ako nakapagsalita. I was shocked! This is the first time that she is the first to approach me.

"Y—Yes!" sabi ko namay kasamang pag tango. Ilang Segundo na siyang umalis pero hindi parin mawala ang ngiti sa labi ko. What's happening to me?

Hindi na nga ako nag aksaya ng panahon at nagmadali na akong umakyat sa roof top.

"It's about the diary right?" I asked habang nakatalikod siya sakin.

Hindi muna siya sumagot at saka humarap sakin.

"A—All of my memories with my friends disappeared after a week" she said. "My memories will reset... I have a Dissociative Amnesia that's the illness I have" She continued "My memories I have to you...I will have forgotten about it by Monday... That's why I can't be friends with you" she said directly into my eyes.

"If I said "It's doesn't matter," what will you do?"

"You can say it easily because you don't understand the issue, hindi mo alam... kung paano iwan at kalimutan, this happened before, and I told them about me once... I don't want them to repeat themselves everytime.Sigurado ako na... magiging pabigat lang ako sayo because being friends with me is a burden"

Kita ko sa mga mata niya ang lungkot na pinagdadaanan nya mas lalo ko lang natanto na mas kailangan niya ng isang kaibigan na aagapay at gagabay sa kanya.

Kinuha niya ang notebook mula sa bag niya at saka lumapit sakin at binigay ito at saka tuluyan ng umalis. Napahipit ang hawak ko sa notebook at saka tumingin sa direksyon niya.

"Euwielie!" I shouted at saka tumakbo papunta sa harap niya para pigilan singa umalis.

"Please become friends with me!" I said. Wala na akong pakielam kung ilang beses ko na nga ba ito sinabi sa kanya at ilang beses niya na din itong tinanggihan. "I will definitely not get tired of this and you will not become a burden to me" I smiled to her.

"Every time Monday comes, I'll keep on saying it...No matter how many times, I'll keep on repeating it. I'll say, "Please become friends with me!" I said directly to her eyes, I want her to feel that I'm serious... I'm sincere of what I am saying." she stared at me, her almond shape eyes was looking to me. I could feel her sadness into her heart.

Kinabukasan, nagmadali akong pumasok pagkapasok ko sa room ay agad ko siyang nakita. She was busy reading her books. I immediately seated to my seat.

Ibinaba ko ang bag ko ng mahagip ng mata ko ang bagay na pamilyar sakin. Euwielie I will not giving up!

After a class I confront her. "Euwielie!"

She stopped and then faced me. "Please become friends with me!" sabi ko habang hawak hawak ang notebook.

Pero dahil may daaang mga studyante ay napaurng ako sabay tago ng notebook. Tumalikod naman siya at saka umalis.

"Please wait!"

Napahinto ako noong makita ko si Sir Fenandez, he walked into my direction.

"I don't want things to remain this way sir!" I said bravely. "I wanna do all the things that I can do... I can' really read the mood, so instead of not being able to do anything, it's better to make mistakes."I smiled.

Tumango tango naman si Sir Fernandez. Patunay na sumasang ayon siya sa sinabi ko.

"Please excuse me Sir!" sabi ko at saka nagmadali ng tumakbo.

Nagmadali na akong lumabas pero sa kasamaang palad ay umuulan. Good thing! Buti nalang boys scout ako, laging handa. Kaya inilabas ko na ang payong na dala ko. Ready to flight na ng mahagip ng mata ko si Euwielie. Kita mo nga naman ang pagkakataon, mukhang wala siyang dalang payong.

Kaya pasimpleng lumapit ako sa kanya. "Euwielie!" sigaw ko sakanya kaya napatingin naman siya sakin.

"I have another umbrella I left at the clubroom, so I'll lend you this one" I smiled as I offered my umbrella to her. I lied wala talaga akong extrang payong, gusto ko lang talaga siyang tulungan.

"But—"

"It's ok, take it!" putol ko sa kanya dahil mukhang tatangi pa siya. At dahil mukhang aayaw pa siya ay ako na ang nag bukas ng payong para sa kanya.

"Here!"

Nagaalangan pa siyang kunin pero tinanggap naman niya agad. "S—Salamat " sabi niya at saka nagsimula ng maglakad.

Muli siyang tumingin sakin at agad naman akong ngumiti."Bye!" sabi ko sabay kaway pa. Tiningnan ko lang siyang umalis.

Now Harris, pano ka uuwi?

Euwielie's POV

I'm in my room at this moment, scanning the exchange notebook given by the guy who named. Harris I begin to read some of his writings.

Excuse me for writing no matter how many times I have to. Today I will write about the whole duration of the week since we first met each other. On that time me and my friend Leon was in the library scanning some book when suddenly I found an Identification card, I was curious of who is the owner of that card so I checked it. To my surprise you spotted and immediately grabbed your ID. I know that time you thought I was some kind of a creep or pervert so I apologized.

After that, we were in the same train on the way home. That time. I could feel something deep inside me starting to move. You helped me that time because I left my borrowed book on the train.

I found your name on the class assignment during start of the 12th year and we were in the same class.

"Please become friends with me!"

I said to you. Hoping that you can be friends with me

"I can't"

But you said you can't instead.

Math class ended, and that time, I accompanied you to bring the notes over...After that, I knew about the fact that your memories with friends are completely reset after the weekends.

The fact that your friends grew further away from you back in your previous school.

The fact that I might just be thinking about your circumstances lightly...

I really thought about each and everything with care. However, as I thought my feelings won't change. Euwielie...Once again, Become friends with me.

I closed the notebook and immediately wiped my tears fell from my eyes, I could feel his sincere about he wrote.
