promise

The sidewalk was wet.It was raining the whole night. There was a huge fog engulfing the place. it was blocking out all the sunshine wanting to get through. Wanting to get through her. Angelica all curled up in her nicely done bed staring blankly in the dark. Thinking. What would happen to her now? Why did she do that? Silence went on like forever until the sound of her telephone broke it into pieces.

Angelica: hello?

Gerald: Angel... musta na?

Angelica: *silent*... im going..

Gerald: where? sama ako!

Gerald then heard the stricken tone of her voice...

Gerald: what is wrong?

Angelica: im going away...

Gerald: ha? di kita maintindihan...

Angelica: im letting go...

Gerald: from where? or from whom?

Angelica: him.

Gerald: oh! him.... y?

Angelica: im so tired... i should have done this a long time pa...

Gerald: buti narealize mo na yan... lam na ba nia?

Angelica: yah...

Gerald: let me guess... no comment sya... at la syang pakialam...

Angelica: yah. She whispered.

Gerald: o e bkit ka gnyan? did u do something more than that...?

Angelica: i promised.

Gerald was dumbfounded. He now knew the gravity of the matter, Angelica never breaks her promises. She never did. Gerald was worried. He knew that this would not be easy. It wouldn't. But he will not leave her side. After all she is his closest friend.

Gerald: kaya mo yan Angel! ikaw pa! dont sulk... isipin mo na lang may dahilan ang lahat... party na lng tau...
san tau bukas?

Angel laughed at his proposal. She appreciates him...more than he would ever know. Then out of nowhere, a surge of strength ignited her half-alive senses... and realized that she has friends, real friends and she will be with them tomorrow evening and party like she never had.

Angelica: tell you what? yah! i can do this! Embassy 10pm... call them up... see u there!

She put the phone down and went outside. At last, Sunshine broke the gates of the depressing Fog. Angelica walked out into the sun, and let herself bathe in the warmness of the light. She felt better. And knew that with the right dose of encouragement and control, she knew she can fulfill her promise... after all, she has no choice.
