Chapter Thirty Four
Unforgotten memories




"Avi, labas ka ang kwarto mo. May bisita ang papa mo and I'm pretty sure you'll like your new friend." rinig kong sabi ni Mama kaya lumabas ako ng nakabusangot. I actually prefer staying here in my room though.

Paglabas ko walang katao tao hanggang sa pumunta ako sa garden. "Yaya, where's my Mom---" hindi ko itinuloy yung tanong ko ng may makita ako. Siya yun!

Siya yung babaeng nakita ko sa park noon nung 8 years old ako.

Now that I'm 12, I can't believe I saw her again. I always go to the park hoping I can see her again but she never came back.

"So you're the rapunzel they are talking about." masayang sabi niya sa akin. She was smiling. "Kukuha lang ako ng miryenda niyo ha." tapos umalis si yaya. Umupo naman ako sa chair kaharap ang pool tabi kasi ng pool ang garden eh.

"Why do you always lock yourself up in your room?" tanong niya habang papalapit sa akin saka umupo sa tabing upuan. "Why are you here? How did you know this is my house?" pag iibang tanong ko sakanya.


"Duh, magkaibigan ang parents natin at iniwan nila ako dito dahil may pupuntahan daw sila eh hindi ko naman alam na dito ang bahay mo." pag eexplain niya at tumating naman si Yaya na may mga dalang pagkain. Cake, chocolate, chips and juice.

Pinanood ko siyang kumain grabe ang takaw niya. "You should eat." she said while chewing. Seriously? Eh halos siya na yung nagmumukhang may bahay dito eh. Napaka comfortable niya.

Kinuha niya yung isang bar ng chocolate. "Say ah." she said and my mouth automatically did what she told me. What the hell? Sinunod ko talaga ang ginawa niya? "Are you a witch?" seryosong tanong ko na ikinangiti niya.

"No." natatawang sagot niya. "Why?" tanong niya ulit. "Because I feel like I'm under your spell." wala sa sarili kong sagot. Ngumisi siya. "Then that only means one thing." pambitin niya sa akin. "What?" tanong ko habang nakatingin sakanya.


I don't know but I like watching her, how she reacts, how she smiles at me, how she laugh and how she moves.

"I'm beautiful." confident niyang sabi. Wow. I can't believe this girl.

"I forgot to asked you. What is your name?" tanong ko sakanya. "Oh, my name is Dahlia and please call me Lia because my family calls me Blu, Eloi." ngiti niya sa akin.




"Eloi?" tanong ko sakanya. "Yup. Eloi or Elois. Just a nickname. I heard your Mom calls you Avi and your Dad calls Ace so, I wanna be unique too.... so that when you see your full name you'll always remember the person who calls you Eloi/Elois. Understood?" I just nodded slowly.
