Memories.
"After I graduate, I'll take you to Paris. I promise, Gab."
Every promise.
"I love you, Gabriela."
Every I love you.
"I'll see you, good bye!"
Even his good bye.
Lahat ng sasabihin niya, at lahat ng sinabi niya ang hinahawakan ko, to stay. Para manatili sa piling niya, manatili sa ala-ala naming dalawa, manatili sa oras, araw, at buwan na pinagsamahan naming dalawa, at manatili sa kahapong hindi nakakasawa balikan.
Love never scared me, dulo ang tumatakot sa'kin, dulo namin. Wala naman kasing panigurado at siguradong kinabukasan, 'di ba? Hindi mo alam kung masaya ba o puno ng puot ang dulo ng lahat.
"Is he okay? How is he?"
"He's fighting, don't worry."
Still, I want to be by his side, I want him to feel safe and secured beside me. I want to know everything.
Anong nararamdaman niya, is he okay, is he doing well. Is he eating, is he drinking well, is he... is he hurt? Is he suffering... too much?
"Can I see him? I want to see him, please." I pleaded
"You can, but Cielo wouldn't allow me to let you in. He doesn't want you to see him like that. I swear, he told me that." Josh explained.
I just did what he wanted. I didn't visit him hangga't 'di siya nag tetext or tumatawag. Pero kinukumusta ko pa rin siya through text, just no response from him.
"We're going on a vacation, okay? We'll visit your sister in abroad so we can go back here early and celebrate Christmas." Mom reminded me.
I went to the hospital at hinanap si Josh, when I saw him at the café I immediately asked him if I can see Cielo and just say goodbye before we leave. I don't want to leave without seeing him myself.
"He can't, Gab. Just text him." Tutol niya.
"But Josh, he's not replying. Looks like I'm talking to a ghost."
"He just can't, okay? I'm sorry."
To: Lover
Going to abroad, flight tomorrow. Wish I can see you before I leave, I miss you so much :((
"I can't see him, really ba? Josh please, just a 1 minute glance!" I begged over and over.
Ugh, nakakainis naman! Ayaw niya talaga ako payagan e!
I just left the hospital and then my phone suddenly beeped.
From: Lover
Take care please, mylove. Don't worry about me, I'm okay. Enjoy with your family. Don't forget to eat and drink and rest. I love you.
I smiled while reading the text.
And didn't realize that, that's the last I love you that I will receive from him. I regrett everything. I regret leaving the country without seeing him. I regret smiling on my screen, reading his sweet texts before leaving without looking out for him. Lahat, pinagsisihan ko ang lahat.
:((
