Sleeping Beauty: The News

SB Twenty

Sometimes naiisip ko na sana nga mahanap ko sa taong ito si Carwyn pero may mga bagay-bagay na hindi ganoon kadaling ipaliwanag. Lalo na sa naging sitwasyon namin dahil ano bang tamang ibalita ko sa kanya...? Na nakilala ko lang siya dahil sa isang time travel book? Na mula pa sa hinaharap? Really?! Who will believe in such news? Lalo na ngayon at may isang balitang hinding-hindi ko na maiiwasan pa. A news that I cannot just escape no matter what I do...

Kez, bakit limang araw ka nang hindi sumusulat sakin? Bakit, talaga bang nakapag-decide ka nang itigil itong ginagawa natin? Na umalis ka na nang tuluyan at hindi na muli tayong magkakausap?

*sighs deeply* Sorry if I becoming more and more eager to talk to you even though it is just a simple letter that travels in time but I really badly want to talk to you for a reason I don't know. I just couldn't stop thinking of you even though I didn't see you at all. You make me fill the empty space that I've lost in time. Maybe that was the reason why I felt so down and sad whenever I cannot receive letters from you. So, please I'm begging you. For the last time let me have some words from you. Keziah, I miss you so much.

After reading Carwyn's letter, Keziah's heart crashes through deep for a reason she couldn't explain why. And after a long time of deciding if she would answer back or not. She decided not the later.

Car, sorry kung hindi na ako sumasagot sa mga letters mo. Hindi dahil sa umalis na ako pero mas tamang nag-desisyon na akong itigil itong ginagawa natin. Yet, why do I feel so sad? The same way you feel...?

*smiles sadly* Nakakainis kasi hindi naman talaga tayo magkakilala, ni hindi nga natin nakita ang isa't isa pero... I tell you the truth. You had some impact on me. That hardly to explain! It is really a hard thing to think but I think...

We shall just stop this. Aalis na kami ng mama ko sa September 30. Tatapusin ko lang ang first semester ko rito at babalik na kami sa Cebu. Kung saan magkakasama na uli kaming pamilya. And talking to you in this simple letter will be harder for me since that, dito lang naman nangyayari ang time travel sa librong ito so, I hope you do understand. Please do understand it. I'm sorry.

Don't say sorry.

*smiles gently* Let us spend this little time that we have talking. I mean sending letters. So please, do understand my situation.

I...

Don't try to say it. Because I know what you were trying to say, Car.

This is just a simple letter. We got just a chance to have time to talk because of this book. But that is all. Walang damdaming dapat ma-involve pa. Sorry.
