All Chapters of Sound of Walking Away: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Drunk Call I finally decided to have my own place. Gusto ko sana na ako na ang magbayad para roon kasi may savings naman ako but my parents insisted to pay. They won't let me go if it's not them who's gonna pay for the condo unit. Medyo bothered pa ako roon ng ilang araw. I really want to be independent... Siyempre kasabay na rin doon na ako na ang magbabayad sa mga gastusin ko. But my parents were persistent. Pumayag lang sila na ako na ang bahala sa groceries ko.I am not yet at my best when it comes to cooking but I'd like to try. Wala nang Noah or Yuri na dadalhan ako ng pagkain kapag 'di ako nagluluto. Wala nang Manang Lila na maghahanda ng pagkain ko kapag nasa bahay ako. I'm on my own now. For real.I went to the nearest grocery store. Bibili ako ng mga ingredients para sa mga pagkain na kaya kong lutuin. I'll also g

Type I couldn't move with what Skylar said. What did she mean by before it's too late? Should I be worried about something?Napailing na lang ako. I didn't want to complicate things and come up with answers to my questions so I just did the sanest thing I could think of. I put everything she said at the back of my mind and just focused on our LU trip.I was successful at that part... Nang mag-Sabado ay nakahanda na lahat ng dadalhin ko. Clothes, essentials, camera and other things. Susunduin ako nina Inigo at Agatha kaya maaga akong nag-ayos. I didn't want them to wait for me to get ready."Basement na kami," Agatha said when I picked up her call.

Talk It was awkward. Or rather, I was awkward.Austin didn't join us for dinner. Nang iwan ko siya sa dalampasigan ay hindi siya sumunod. I thought I could escape with the talk that he was referring to... Well, for tonight at least. Pero mali ako...Inigo and the guys decided to have a drink -  which was seconded by Agatha and Ali. Me? I'm against it. Hindi ko nakalilimutan na balak akong lasingin ni Agatha. I wanted to just sulk in the villa. Or maybe just sleep the night off. Pero ang kulit nina Ali. In the end, napilit nila ako na sumama.Hindi ko alam kung may silbi ba ako rito. Tahimik lang ako habang nag-uusap sila. I need to const

Drown I didn't attempt to surf again. Nanatili lang ako sa pwesto ko at pinapanood ang paulit-ulit na subok nina Iain at Inigo. Meanwhile, Kuya Rex, Raf and Austin are surfing at their own pace. I'd be lying if I say that I'm not amazed at how good Austin was. Saan kaya siya natuto mag-surf? Who taught him?I am staring at him too much, that's for sure. I don't even know why I'm doing it. Kaya naman nang makita ko na pabalik na siya ay agad akong umiwas ng tingin."Girl, he's ripped. With muscles in their right places!"Nagpanting ang tainga ko sa narinig. Lumingon ako para makita kung sino ang nagsabi noon. Not far from me, I saw two girls talking and giggling. They are boldly staring at Austin as he walks. He even ran his fingers through his wet hair which made the girls giggl

Thankful I wasn't a strong believer in second chances. I always thought that once something is broken, it will never be the same again. Once your trust is broken, it's so hard to restore it back whole. It's not an overnight fix. Some take years and some just never get fixed. That's how crucial second opportunities are for me. But Austin changed my belief.When I went home, I was so certain I'd never look back. Kasi ano pa ba ang point? Everything is done. Bakit ko pa babalikan? Bakit ko pa pagtutuonan ng pansin? I lived my life differently for almost two years. I forced myself to forget and bury all the pain. To heal... But I was so wrong. It turns out I was healing for the wrong reason. I thought I got cheated on and quite honestly, that destroyed me. Pero mali pala ako. Had I learned the truth early on, I would've saved myself some trouble even just a bit.
