Fate and Destiny

Mika's Mission

As I walk with my Favorite pair of White Keds in the street of Italy, wearing my grayish long sleeves and fitted ripped white jeans, I remember something rather, someone.

Same place. Same time, exactly 4pm, same weather. But I'm not having the same feeling as before.

I get my notebook, my Violet pen, and wrote something.

~•~

Hi! :) I'm sitting here, at our favorite bench along the street of Italia. Having the same time, same weather, but why I am not feeling the same thing as we used to be? Having that silence but a happy one, having a joyous experience in a quiet time. Why I'm feeling the sorrow, the pain, the faint, in the place where we used to be happy? Why? How I wish you were here to answer all of my questions, how I wish.

"Ara?" Someone call my name. I close my notebook, and kept it in my little bag "Victonara" As I look on the direction if that 'someone' I saw my best friend Mika.

Mika: Hay *sighs* sabi ko na eh. Dito lang kita makikita. Hey, stop visiting this place, and could you please stop that tears from falling down to your face? *Rolls eyes*

Di ko namalayang umiyak na pala ako?

Ako: Miks, dinala dala mo ko dito sa Italy tas sasabihin mong stop visiting this place? This place is so memorable. At kahit saang sulok man ako ng Italia tuminggin. Its always him I can see.

Mika: Yun na nga eh. Arsie,  its just a memory now. Alam nating never ever na ulit to mangyayare diba? Ara, how can you enjoy life when your heart and soul is living in the past? Now tell me, How.

Am I living not in the present, nor in the future, but in the past?

Mali ba? Mali bang I-reminisce? Mali bang bumalik? Am I still holding on to you?

Nakauwi na ko sa Apartment ko dito sa Italy. Actually, this is ou— this is mine. We— I bought this 3 years ago, when I was still in my Graduating year. Well, I have the typical Italian House. I have 3 rooms. One is for me, one is for guests, and one is for Him. Yes, Him. But for now? Its just a little Museum for me, because this is where I put all the things that We shared together. The color is Black and White.

Pumunta ako sa kusina and I decided to cook Kare-Kare nalang.

As I roam my eyes to the four corner of my apartment. napaisip ako.

Before, We used to live in the same house, We used to be lovers, before. We used to  care each other. We used to be best of friends. But that was 'us' before.

But now? I used to be alone, like forever. I used to be the one that will be the listener to my very own, and dearest Self. I used to be the one who care to my Self.

How I miss the 'We used to be' and I hate the 'I used to be'

"So? You rearrange your apartment na pala" Sino pa ba? Edi si Mika.

Ako: Mika Aereen naman.. Para kang kabute, Lam mo yun? Sulpot and sulpot eh *rolls eyes* And yes I do a little rearrangement here.

Mika: So? Tinapon mo na yung pictures niyo?

Ako: Nope. Why do I have to. It's all that I have, pictures na nga lang ang meron ako na nakikita siya, pinagkakait niyo pa.

Mika: Ang OA nung pinagkakait mo ha? Kutusan Kita sa Lungs mo eh. So? Nasan?

Ako: Nasa room niya.

Mika: Tarush ni Ateng. Museum? *Sarcastic tone* Kailan mo kaya siya titigilan?

Napatigil naman ako sa pagluluto.

Ako: Who says I'll stop? Mika, hindi ako titigil, kasi babalik siya . Babalik Siya.

He'll come back, I know. He promised me, he'll come back for me. But for now, I just need to be strong. Not only for the both of us, but for me too

NORMAL POV

Lumabas nalang si Mika sa Apartment ng kaibigan. Kinuha niya ang kaniyang phone at may dinial.

Phone Convo...

Mika: Tita *sighs* akala niya babalik pa yung dati niyang boyfriend.

Tita: Mika, *sighs* sorry, but could you please take care of my daughter. Sana wag kang magsawa sakaniya.

Mika: Yes tita, I do. Tita, bye na Mahal tong tawag na to eh *chuckles*

As the time goes by, and He's not yet around, she changed.

I'm on my way to home when my phone rang. I answered it.

Phone Convo...

Ako: Hello? Who's this?

Caller: Is this Mika Aereen Reyes?

Ako: Yes. On the phone. Who are you?

Caller: Miks, tantanan natin yang English na yan. Nosebleed ako. Hey, Mahal tong tawag na to... kaya *sighs* Look at her, check her everyday, every time. Don't you ever leave her side. Alagaan mo naman siya para saakin? Siguro ngayon, kilala mo na ko.

Ako: Bakit mo ba siya ini—

End call.
