Time After Time

Untitled Part 14

My Dearest Friend,

I hope you're fine given your condition. I hate you but only because I'm missing you so much. I'm also worried about you. Please write me back, Trini. It's my third letter already, inulit ko lang 'yung mga sinabi ko nung una, pero siempre, may latest news na 'ko. Sana sumagot ka naman. Gusto ko lang malaman mo, for your information and further knowledge, maski ano pa ang nangyari sa 'yo, mahal pa rin kita. Hindi kita itatakwil, hindi kita kinakahiya. Alam ko na ang totoo. Nakausap ko si Corey, s'ya ang nagbigay ng adres mo.

Hay, naku, Trini, you won't believe it. In case hindi mo natanggap ung mga una kong sulat, I just want to let you know that Corey and I are ... I don't know. He's so makulit and adorable. He kind of forced me to have a relationship with him. I know, it sounds stupid, kaso, I can't resist his charms.

And he's soooo good to me, he's the best boyfriend ever, kahit s'ya naman ang first boyfriend ko. Can you believe it? I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! Alam ko, wala kang tiwala sa kanya, sabi mo daw. Pero...well, I trust him completely, Trini. He's so reliable and dependable. Ang dami n'yang alam gawin, nakakabilib 'yun.

He's so mabait talaga.

I think....no, scratch that. I don't think...I am so sure about it now, Trini. I love Corey. I'm so in love with him. He just makes me sooooo happy. But also soooo sad, sometimes angry. You see, he's not allowed to visit me here in the house anymore. I don't know what happened. Siguro nahalata nina inay na may relasyon kami, pinagbawalan na akong makipaglapit kay Corey. Dobleng higpit sila sa 'kin ngayon.

Pero kahit na, nagkikita pa naman kami sa school. Hindi naman nila kami mapapaghiwalay. We'll be together forever, parang kanta ni Rick Astley. 'Yun ang sasayawin namin sa prom. Together Forever. Si Corey lang ang lalaking kaya kong mahalin ng ganito, wala nang iba.

Sana , nandito ka at kasama ka sa prom. Kaso...but I understand. I wish you all the best, Trini. Despite your current situation, alam ko, maayos rin ang lahat. Sana lagi kang safe pati ang baby mo. Sana makita ko rin s'ya, 'no? Sana ninang ako, si Corey ang ninong.

Sa summer, balak namin lumuwas para puntahan ka. I really want to see you. I miss you so much. I promise be your friend always, Trini. You are my Together Forever Friend.

If I have only one friend left, I want it to be you.

Always,

Ibyang
