“Jea! High school Musical 3 naman yung susunod na panunuorin natin.” Janella is with her highschool bestfriends. She’s with Jayson and Mikee in her own condo unit. After her college graduation, she took the board exam for Architecture and passed it being at the first spot.
“Guys di ba kayo nagsasawa? It’s been years na pinapalabas yan sa Disney Channel ee saka I’ve moved on. Wala na si Vanessa at si Zac okay?” She said to her two best friends.
“Jea it’s not about Vanessa nor Zac okay? It’s about the highschool Memories! Sinetch ba namang hindi makakalimot nun diba? Or don’t tell me bitteresa ka parin.” Jayson said.
“Bitter? Saan? Really guys ano ba tumatakbo sa mga utak niyo? Ano naman dapat kong ika-bitter?” Janella’s now confused.
“Come on Jea! Don’t tell me kinakimutan mo na si Sesame Street boy? Gaahd! Diba patay na patay ka sa kanya dati? Shocks na amnesia ka ba? Dalhin ka na namin sa Hospi? OMG to the nth level!” Pago oa ni Mikee. Hindi alam ni Jea ang gagawin niya sa dalawa niyang kaibigan. Sobra naman kasi yung pagka bipolar nila. One time senti sila tapos biglang shift sa masaya tapos sa malungkot ulit.
“Guys can’t we not talk about it? It’s been what? Seven years? Move on!” Janella said. The truth? She hasn’t moved on yet. Hindi lang niya maamin sa sarili niya. She’s lost with her feelings at di niya alam kung saan yung daan patungo sa pagmo move on. Isa rin yun sa reason kung bakit hanggang ngayon single parin siya. She’s not yet ready to be involved in any matter.
“Move on? Ikaw? Uso ba yun sa'yo? Bakla kilala ka namin no? Kahit iba tinahak natin nung college, magkakakonekta mga atay natin kaya stop denying Jea!” Jayson said.
“Fine whatever! O you play the third part of HSM na so that you can go home.” She said rolling her eyes na nakangiti. Weird? Yes she is.
“Blablabla, here we go!” Mikee said saka sinalang yung movie. High school Musical is their favorite movie ever since they graduated High school. Siyempre memories will always came rushing back kapag nanonood ka ng HSM.
They were all silent until…
“Take my hand, take a breath, pull me close and take one step…” Gabriella from the movie sang her favorite song.
“You know what guys, ito talaga yung definition ko sa Love ee. This song is my own definition of what love is.” Janella said out of nowhere.
“Here comes her Hopeless romantic side. Hay Jea kelan ka pa magpapantasya sa pagibig? Kelan ka magtitiis maging single? Look at us! I’m taken and well hindi si Jayson but he’s happy.” Mikee said.
“I’m happy din naman ee.” Then she faked her smile. Always doing it.
“Fine fine. O siya as you were saying?” Jayson said.
“As I was saying, this song is my perfect definition of Love. Kasi diba? Take my hand, take a breath. In a relationship dapat i guide niyo yung isa’t-isa towards a better future? Tapos doon sa chorus part, and with every step together we just keep on getting better, parang sine secure niyo na yung kayo forever tapos you’re both puting efforts para mas maging better pa yung relationship niyo? Wala lang it reminds me of…” di na niya natuloy yung explanation niya kasi may tumawag sa phone ni Mikee. Ang ingay kasi ee nakakabulahaw ng kapit-unit.
Mikee got her phone and answer it.
“Hello? Sino to?” She said.
“Ryan? Ryan Alpay? The highschool campus crush? Yes? Ano yun?”
“Talaga we will be having our reunion? When? Send us the info nalang. By the way I’m with Janella and Jayson. Okay okay bye!”
She ended the phone call.
“Anes daw? Sinetch yun?” Jayson asked.
“Si Ryan Alpay!” Mikee said excitedly.
“Ryan Alpay as in the super ultra mega hot Ryan Alpay from our batch? OMG kill me now Lord!” He or she or whatever said.
“Ano daw sabi?” Janella asked. May halong pagkainis dahil di niya natuloy yung kwento niya.
“Well nago organize daw yung mga high school classmates natin ng Grand Reunion and I can’t wait to see Ryan na!” Tili ni Mikee.
“Hoy bakla may Jowaers ka na! Bet mong isumbong kita kay baby Martin?” Jayson said.
“Pshh fine edi sayo na!” Mikee said.
“So ano Guys? Pupunta ba tayo?” Jayson asked. He looked at Janella. Uncertain kasi yung expression niya.
“Kayo lang. Kung pupunta kayo, I’ll go. Besides I miss our High school friends narin ee.” Janella said.
“Namiss mo yung HS Friends or si Anes?” Pangaasar ni Jayson. Umirap naman si Janella at agad na inalis na yung nakasalang na movie. Wala narin naman kasing nagpe pay ng attention dito.
“So? We will go right?” Mikee clarified. Tumango si Janella at si Jayson.
“Alright! Hello High school Classmates!” Mikee shouted.
…
May mga bagay na hindi natin matatakasan lalo na kapag atin itong tinatakbuhan.
This is the story of love, faith, and chances.
This is Good, Better, BEST.
