Panimula
Noong araw na mawala siya, parang nawala na rin ako.
Malamig noong araw na 'yon. Iba ang haplos ng hangin sa balat ko— na para bang may ipinahihiwatig na kung ano. I had no idea what was about to happen that day. Hindi ko naisip na sa isang iglap, mawawala ka palang bigla sa akin. Sa isang kurap, hindi na pala kita muling mayayakap.
It's true that the worst betrayal you'll ever get is from the universe. Hindi galing sa pamilya o sa kung sino man dahil kapag universe na ang nagtakda, wala ka nang magagawa.
He died.
I died, too. I just wish it's true, literally.
It hurts being a human who cannot stop death. Wala akong ibang p'wedeng gawin kundi tanggapin— na lahat ng bagay, may katapusan. Lahat ng tao, natatapos din ang gampanin sa mundo.
Pero bakit gano'n kaagang natapos yung sa kanya?
But then, things are really unexpected. I met someone after his death. Someone who looks exactly like him physically, but not mentally though.
And everything just went similar... yet different.
