Ella's

Alyssa's finally introducing me to the makers of the recipe of one of the bestest cake shop in the Philippines hahaha. Pupunta kami sa parents nila. Kasalukuyan kaming nagbabyahe and I almost freaked out kung saan nya ako dinala.

Cementery.

Nakasunod lang ako kay Alyssa while walking.

Tumigil kami sa dalawang lapida.

"Hello nay, tay. Ang tanda ko na po oh hahaha. Isang taon na naman ang itinanda ko. Isang taon na naman ang lumipas sa pag iisa ko. Ay nay tay. Si Ella pala. Kaibigan ko."

"Hello po, tita at tito. Unang una po thank you sa masarap na recipe nyo hahaha. Joke po. Syempre thankyou po kay Alyssa. Napakabuti po ng anak ninyo."

"Alam mo ba Ella, I can't forget the time when my family is still together and complete. You know, it makes me happy knowing that whenever I got engaged into some problems, I have my back up. I have a father who is really the corniest tatay of all. I have a mother who happens to be the best cook in the universe. I have 3 brothers to look out for me. 3 brothers na bibwisitan ka kapag seryoso ka pero ipagtatanggol ka kapag agrabyado ka na. Mahal na mahal ko sila Ells. Pero that family I used to live with is missing. Alam ko hindi pa gone. Nawawala lang. Magkaiba yun. My brothers are in states na kasi. Handling some of our businesses there. While i'm here. Alone."

"Why not stay with them Alyssa?"

"I can't. I just can't leave my parents. I hate it when people always tell me kawawa naman ako kasi wala na yung parents ko. Gusto ko sila sagutin na. 'Tangina, patay lang yung parents ko pero hindi sila wala.' They may be physically missing pero buhay na buhay pa rin sila sa akin. Alam ko yun dahil nandito sila Ella oh. Nandito sila sa loob nito. At kahit kelan hinding hindi ko pagsisisihan na sila ang naging nanay at tatay ko." Sabi ni Alyssa pointing out her heart.

Grabe. Nakilala ko na naman ang isang side ni Baldo. At mas lalo lang ako napapahanga sa katauhan niya. Mangiyak ngiyak ako sa pagkukwento nya. Mahirap kasi siguro talaga mawalan ng parents. Pero ito sya kinakaya. Wow Alyssa. Just wow.

"Wag kayo mag alala tito and tita, aalagaan ko si Baldo basta may libre lagi akong cake dyan hahaha. Joke lang po. Promise po, i'll always look out for her po."

"Hahaha ganyan talaga yan nay, tay. Hmm hindi na po ako magtatagal dito. Kailangan ko na pong iuwi din itong bulinggit na ito. Miss na miss ko na po kayo. Sobrang miss. Hayaan nyo po at dadalasan ko na ang pagbisita sa inyo. Marami pong salamat sa buhay kong ito. Mahal na mahal ko po kayong dalawa."

Naiiyak akong nagpaalam na din kanila tito at tita. Grabe si Alyssa. At her young age, paano nya nakukuhang kayanin ang lahat? Grabe. I really do admire her. Hindi mo makakakitaan ng kahinaan.

Dennise's

Its already 2 in the morning pero ito ako umiiyak na naman. Paano nagkasagutan na naman kami ni Bea. Nakita ko kasi sya nakikipaglandian sa isang random na babae sa party ng pinsan nyang pinuntahan namin. Naiinis ako. Hindi ba pwedeng ako na lang? Naiiyak na naman ako.

I texted Alyssa. I need her.

I'm here sa park ng village namin. Sitting beside a huge tree. Thinking of what did I've done wrong para lokohin na naman nya ako. Nagsasawa na ako. Paulit ulit na lang.

"I told you, she's not worth your tears."

Upon hearing her voice, tumayo ako agad at niyakap siya. I needed her. I needed my savior to save me again from being hurt too bad.

Umiyak lang ako ng umiyak sa kanya. Hindi ko kailangan ng salita. Her presence is more than enough.

I hope hindi sya mapagod sa akin.

I woke up in my room. Urgh sumakit yung ulo ko. Mas masakit yung puso ko nung maalala yung kahapon. Nakatulog pala ako kagabi. Only to see a breakfast prepared dito sa may side table ko with a note saying

"I will never get tired of saving you my heartbreak princess.

Forever yours, your savior"

That just made my day. I just love how Alyssa turns my bad days into something great.

After eating the breakfast she prepared for me, I logged in to my accounts and I was stunned to what i've read.

"I didn't know it was her birthday, thankyou sa kung sino mang nag-iwan ng cake. Instant private birthday celebration with the most awesome person I know, Alyssa Valdez. Happy Birthday Baldo! #kandilangpangbrownout" - Ella

It's Alyssa's birthday? How come hindi ko man lang alam?

Ohhhh I remembered, niyaya niya ako.

Fuck it! How can I forget!

Nagflashback bigla sa ulo ko lahat.

"Okay, so here it is. I want first to have a real bonding time with you ALONE this time Den. If you will come with me, i'll surely make it up to you and accept your offer for me to be the third wheel. Is it a deal?"

"Bonding time it is. When will it be then?"

"Okay, that would be the day after tomorrow Den. On wednesday."

"We'll see at?"

"I'll just come by to pick you up."

"Deal then."

"Promise me you'll open your door to see me and be with me?"

"Hahaha of course, you dork!"

"Make a promise!"

"Hahahaha okay okay, PROMISE Alyssa Valdez."

"Good. Make sure to keep your promise Dennise Michelle Lazaro. I'll surely be sad if you won't make it."

How can I forget that bonding time I promised to her? Ohhh fuckk yourself Dennise.

Naiinis ako lalo sa sarili ko na nakalimutan mo na nga syang samahan, pinapunta ng 2 am para samahan ka sa mga drama mo, yung pinakamahalagang araw sa buhay nya kinalimutan mo.

Putangina Dennise. Sinisiksik mo yang sarili mo kay Bea when all along you have Alyssa na kahit makalimutan mo yung pangako mo dali daling pupuntahan ka kapag kailangan mo at hinding hindi ka iiwang durog na durog ka.

How can somebody be like you huh Alyssa?

I'm feeling guilty for being this stupid.

I'm sorry my savior.

I promise to make it up to you.
