THIRD PERSON POV

Today marks their 3rd year anniversary.

Han prepared a simple date for them. Nasa bahay lang nila. His mom helped him bago siya umalis at pumasok sa trabaho.

Everything is ready.

He set it up outside their house.

A table that is surrounded by two chairs with foods in it. Their pictures hanging on the strings and the perfect view of sunset.

Minho will come at exactly 4pm.

HAN POV

It's already 4 but he's not still here. Hindi din siya sumasagot sa mga tawag ko at texts maybe he's on his way riding on a car kaya hindi niya marinig ang tawag ko.

Sa sobrang inip ay naisip kong kunin yung box na puno ng mga pictures namin at mga handwritten love letters na binigay niya sa akin when he is still courting.

Umupo ulit ako sa labas and read it again one by one.

I smiled while reading....it looks so cheesy but so sweet.

The weather is just nice but it suddenly became dim.

Uulan yata.

"Bakit ngayon pa! Shocks!"

I moved everything inside our house.

Niligpit ko muna ito tsaka inayos sa loob ng bahay.

I sighed after I finished

"Sa loob na lang tayo magdate" i whispered while looking at our pictures that's when I realized that I left the box outside.

Sobrang lakas na nang ulan but idc at lumabas ako nang walang pag aalinlangan.

Agad kong nakita yung box

Kinuha ko ito but it accidentally slip from my hand

Nahulog ang lahat ng laman nito sa ground.

The letters and our pictures are now wet by the rain.

"Shit"

I immediately put it again inside the box one by one.

Pumasok ako sa loob at nilapag ito sa lamesa para patuyuin.

Walang nakaligtas at lahat nito nabasa.

The tint of the letters and pictures faded...

Is this a bad sign?

Hindi ko na pa inisip at pinansin yun, nagbihis na lang ako at inayos ulit ang sarili.

I sat on the table and waited for him patiently

Madaling araw na pero wala pa din siya. Yes I waited that long

I decided to call Chan but he is not answering.

Even his mom and dad.

What the hell is happening?

What's with them?

I suddenly felt liquids on my cheeks.

Nag-usap naman kami kahapon diba? He knows that I prepared for our anniv.
