Come Home With Me

I opened my Facebook at ang unang bumungad sa akin ay ang post niya.

It was me in silhouette, tapos 'yung sunset.

She still love sunsets the same way that I still love her was the caption. Nakita kong sobrang daming likes, reactions at comment noon.

Madami pang nagtatanong kung sino daw ba 'yung babae. I even saw my cousins' in the comment section.

May mga nagtatanong kung bagong girlfriend niya ba or fiance? O kung ano...

'Wow! May bago na siya!'

'Moved on na?'

'Who's the new chic, dude?'

'Nice one!'

Then, I saw at the top comments na umaani ng napakaraming likes, reactions at replies ay ang comment niya.

Darlin Francisco
Walang bago. It is still and will always be Daffney Levanidez.

At ayun na, pati mga pinsan ko nag-reply, many people commented 'What? No!'

'I thought she's with Stance?'

'Comeback?'

'What?! Wala na kong pagasa!'

'Lakas!'

'Bagay talaga kayo!'

Wala sa sarili na lang akong napailing at napangiti. Hindi ko din alam kung bakit...

Eighth Day

It was another picture of that view again, iyong bundok at mga damuhan. Siguro ito na ang bagong lugar na paborito niya?

Gaya noong una, walang nakasulat na kahit ano doon.

Ninth Day

It was a red rectangular box. I opened it at bumungad kaagad sa akin ang isang maliit at tuyot na bouquet.

Tulips.

Then, I found a note down there.

Hey Daff, even though we're not together anymore I'll still send you these. I love you and you deserve flowers everyday.

Tenth Day

It was a memory card, isinuksok ko iyon sa laptop at naglalaman siya ng videos with corresponding names.

10thday.mov
11thday.mov
12thday.mov

It was that scenery again, but this time, wala ng mga damo. All you can see is the mowed land.

Eleventh day video was him just saying hi and that he misses me so much.

Twelfth day was that scenery again, but this time... nagka-idea na ako.

Thirteenth Day

It was another letter and box from him.

Hey Wife!
