All Chapters of Sound of Walking Away: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Unconsciously When Saturday came, I'm all nerves. Alas sais ang simula ng exhibit at may after party hanggang alas onse. Maaga akong pumunta kasi alam kong traffic na naman. I asked one of our drivers to accompany me. Hindi rin kasi ako sinamahan ni Kuya Van for an obvious reason. He hates traffic. Well, halos lahat naman yata.It's a formal event. Mom offered to style me. She made me wear a multi-lavender tweed cocktail dress. I paired it with light pink ankle-strap heels. Simple lang ang sinabi ko sa kanya kasi ayoko namang makaagaw ng pansin. Maliit na hikaw at simpleng kuwintas lang din ang suot ko.Pagkarating ko sa venue ay agad akong inalalayan ng isang staff at tinulungan akong dalhin ang paintings ko sa naka-assign na space para sa akin. Ang daming naka-display na paintings... I am so amazed. Manghang-mangha ako sa

Home Simula na ng second semester. I have 21 units this sem kaya medyo mabigat ang load. Mayroon na rin akong classes na iba kina Agatha at Inigo. They both major in Information Design. May mga klase na hiwalay na ako sa kanila pero sa general courses ay magkakasama pa rin kaming tatlo."And then? You two were good after you cried your heart out?" Agatha asked. We're currently having our lunch. Kinuwento ko sa kanya 'yong nangyaring pagseselos ni Austin kay Sandro. She seems okay hearing Sandro's name. Bali cleared her mind daw kaya nawala na ang pagka crush niya roon."Not the crying that you're thinking of. More on happy tears... And yeah, we're good.""My gosh! Sa inyo na lang talaga ako kinikilig!" she shrieked. Sinabayan pa ng hampas niya sa braso ko.

Luckiest To say that I rushed everything would be an understatement. Ni hindi pa ako naliligo nang makarating si Austin. I asked him why he was so early and he just said he's worried we'll get stuck in the morning traffic. Ayaw niya namang sabihin kung saan kami pupunta. Inaantok pa nga ako kasi tinapos ko kagabi 'yong requirement na ngayong araw ko dapat tatapusin.I felt like I was the Flash when I managed to get ready in a span of twenty minutes. Hindi iyon ang madalas na oras ng pag-aayos ko. I took a quick shower and just got the most comfortable and go-to clothes I first laid my eyes on. Sabi naman ni Austin kahit ano raw suotin ko basta komportable ako. So I settled with a faded maong shorts, a plain black top and I paired it with a black strappy sandals. I also tied my hair in a half ponytail. Hindi ko na na-blowdry pa kasi nagmamadali na.

Child "What happened?" I asked. Ang seryoso bigla ng itsura ni Austin kaya mas lalo akong kinabahan. May masama bang nangyari?Hindi napansin nina Inigo at Agatha ang presensiya ni Austin dahil abala pa rin sila sa pinag-aawayan nilang dalawa."Turbo and Robin got sick," he answered. Bigla namang nanlaki ang mata ko."What? Why?" tanong ko. Medyo nabawasan ang kaba ko nang malaman na wala naman palang nangyaring masama sa kanya."They won't eat. I don't know why."He looked awfully bothered so I stood up to face him."Did you have them checked already?"He shook his head. "Their vet's not in yet an

MVP I never believed that time flies by so fast because for me, we get the exact twenty-four hours a day. No more, no less. But that's until Austin happened... Kapag pala talaga masaya ka, ang bilis ng takbo ng panahon. Hindi mo namamalayan na lumilipas ang oras kasi masaya ka lang.Today's the game two for the championship title. Our university's team has been undefeated in the round two of the tournament. Nagpatuloy ang momentum na iyon hanggang game one ng finals. I've watched every game and now... I'm torn if I should watch live or sa TV na lang. Panigurado, ang daming tao. Natatakot ako na maulit iyong nangyari noong game one.Right after Austin and the rest of the team won the game, they allowed fans to take pictures with them. Hindi ko na muna nilapitan no'n si Austin kasi maraming tao. I was silently and patiently w
