We're here in our room. Kaming dalawa lang ang nasa bahay while our kids? Nasa mga Lolo't Lola nila.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"May hinahanap ako!" She answered.
Agad akong tumayo sa pagkakahiga. I looked at the boxes na nilalabas niya pero mas nacurious ako sa black box.
"What's this?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she tried na agawin ito sa 'kin pero agad akong lumayo sa kanya.
"Love naman."
I chuckled. "Patingin lang."
I slowly opened the box and i saw our Paper Rings and photos. My eyes went on a white bond paper na maayos ang pagkakatiklop.
"Can i read this?" I asked.
She bit her lower lip. "Oo, para sayo naman talaga yan."
I slowly opened the letter at nakita ko ang mga nakasulat. Sa 'kin nga.
Dear Izana Kurokawa,
Hello Uno! I'm writing this letter kasi wala lang trip ko lang. Kidding. I just want to say i miss you. Everyday. I don't even know where i am going to start.
First, thank you. Thank you for loving me endlessly. Thank you for being a great rival when we're in highschool. I really enjoyed my highschool days with you. The detention, guidance office, foundation day, and events. You're one of my reasons why i choose to continue doing what i love. Seeing you na nag eenjoy maglaro, makes me feel alive. Thank you for being a good friend. Thank you for always listening to my nonsense chikas.
Second, meeting you was the best part of my life. It was the greatest part of my whole journey here on Earth.
I love you. I still love you, Uno. Ikaw pa rin ang hinahanap hanap ko sa tuwing paggising ko sa umaga. I miss waking up with you. I miss cooking with you. I miss everything about us pero alam kong parehas na tayong pagod. That's why, i made that decision.
Dati alam ko sa sarili ko na i will never fall in love with the likes of you. Ayoko sayo kasi you're too high to reach. Pero sinwerte ata ako kasi ikaw pala 'tong patay na patay sating dalawa.
Mahal, i will never regret loving you. You are always so good to me na kahit anong gawin kong ikakasakit mo, lagi mong tinatanggap. And that's a bit unfair.
I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for breaking up with you pero ginawa ko lang naman 'to para sating dalawa. Ginawa ko 'to for us to grow in separate ways pero tangina 2 days break pa lang tayo eto ako sinusulatan ka nitong cringe na letter.
Please, kung makikita mo man 'to sana kasal na tayo tapos wag mo ako pagtawanan. Sasampalin kita.
Oo, kailangan mo makita 'to na kasal tayo. Ikakasal tayo, ako na nagdesisyon. Sa ngayon galit galit muna.
Babalik ka naman diba? Pero kung hindi, edi wag. Magpakasaya ka. Walang hard feelings ah gusto talaga kita makitang masaya pero i think mas better kung ako talaga ang endgame mo.
I love you, Izana. You will always be my number one. I'm rooting for you, my love. Mahal na mahal kita higit pa sa salita.
love, Y/N
Agad niyang tinakpan ang mukha niya sa kahihiyan. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sweet ah." Pang aasar ko sa kanya.
"Ano ba nahihiya ako!?" She said. I chuckled and removed her hands on her face.
"Hulaan ko background music mo nung nagsusulat ka nito." I teased her.
"Sige, ano?"
"Back to December." Sagot ko.
"LOVE NAMAN!"
She's so cute. I didn't know na may ganto pala siyang letter. Buti nahuli ko siyang naglalabas ng mga box box niya.
I hugged her tight. "Ngayon ka pa ba mahihiya? Mag asawa na tayo."
"Kasi naman. Hindi ko rin alam bakit ko sinulat yan!" She said kaya natawa ako.
"Makikipaghiwalay ka jan tapos mamimiss mo ako. Grabe pala pagiging assumera mo dati." Pang aasar ko kaya agad niya akong tinulak.
She stood up and crossed his arms. "Hoy, totoo namang patay na patay ka sa 'kin!"
"Pero gumawa ng letter para sa 'kin. Talaga ba, mahal?"
She pouted. "Tsaka, malakas instincts ko na pakakasalan mo ako."
Natawa ako sa sinabi niya. I put her letter sa may side table. I held her hand and pulled her closer.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and buried my face on her tummy. "Dummy, kung hindi ikaw. Wag na lang." I whispered.
"Nung college tayo, gustong gusto ko na magpropose kaso tangina naunahan mo ako. Nakipag break ba naman e. Tinapat pa na magpapasko. Ang bangis mo rin talaga." Reklamo ko sa kanya.
"HOY CHRISTMAS GIFT ANG TAWAG DON!" She said.
"CHRISTMAS GIFT AMPUCHA PANGET NAMAN NG REGALO MO SA 'KIN!"
She chuckled and hugged me. "Sorry na. At least diba endgame naman tayo."
I frowned at her. "Hindi mo alam yung hirap na dinanas ko. Pati sa pagkuha ng mga permission."
"HOY, PALONG PALO NA KAYA AKO MAG OVERTHINK!" She said kaya natawa ako sa term niya.
I calmed down and hugged her. "But i really love your letter. Feel na feel ko namiss mo ako." I said
"I'm so lucky to have you, love. Thank you for being a good wife and mom." Sambit ko habang inaayos ang buhok niya.
"Nakakainis ka. Gusto kita sampalin." She said.
Her phone vibrated kaya agad niya itong sinagot. "Ano na naman, Ran?"
"Baba. Nandito kami sa sala niyo."
"HA!?"
I looked at her. "Nandito sila Ran." She said kaya agad na nagsalubong ang kilay ko.
We went downstairs at nandito nga sila. Akala mo walang mga pamilya. Si Mikey hawak hawak na yung toblerone at naghati pa sila ni Chifuyu.
Si Ran naman may dala dalang mga alak. He raised his brow. "Hi guys." Rindou greeted.
"Ano na namang ginagawa niyo dito?" I asked.
"Asan mga anak niyo?" Y/N asked.
"Sa mga Lolo't Lola nila." Sabay sabay na sagot nila.
"Mga asawa niyo?" I asked.
"Nasa trabaho akin." Mikey said.
"Same." Chifuyu said.
"Nagsho shopping." Sabay na sagot nila Rindou at Sanzu.
"Tulog." Ran answered.
"EH KUNG MAG START NA TAYO MAG INOM!" Sabi nila Sanzu.
"Mikey naman may anak ka na't lahat tapos nangunguha ka pa rin ng toblerone." Y/N said.
Mikey frowned at her. "Kumuha ka nga ng ice cream sa ref namin nung huling punta mo."
Hinayaan ko na lang sila magbardagulan. Istorbo sila sa asawa time pero okay lang. I miss hanging out with them.
Pagkaupo ay agad na nagpatugtog si Hanma. "Miss niyo ba playlist ko?" He asked and played some jeje songs.
"Tangina nostalgic!" Sabi ni Baji.
"Ngayon lang ulit nabuo ah." Kazutora said.
"Gago kamiss. Kung hindi siguro tayo naging magkakaklase baka wala tayo rito ngayon." Sabi ni Chifuyu.
"Kamiss na mag roadtrip." Sanzu said.
"The 2-3am road trips." Kakucho said.
"Yung road trip na bahala na ang gas kung saan tayo dalhin." Rindou said.
"TANGINA NIYO NGAYON NA NGA LANG TAYO MAGKITA KITA, WALA PANG PICTURE! TARA .5!" Ran said kaya agad niyang tinaas ang phone.
Agad na inairdrop ni Ran ang mga pictures. I looked at my wife and she's busy sa pag i-instagram story.
My phone vibrated kaya agad ko itong tinignan. She posted it sa instagram niya.

Pati sa ig story niya ay may picture at may caption pa nga.

My friends started discussing some stuffs about their family. "Pero sa totoo lang, miss ko kayo." Hanma said.
"Paabot yel-" Naputol ang pagsasalita ni Kakucho nung binaba ni Sanzu ang kamay niya.
"Tangina, close na lang ang arms! Parang di ka naman nag grade 2 e!"
"Ulol, mas mabango pa nga kili kili ko kesa sa mouth mo!" Pang aasar ni Kakucho.
Napailing na lang si Koko. Wala talagang nagbago. They're still the same teenagers i met when i was in highschool.
They're still the Section Uno that i love.
"Buti nagka free time kayo." Y/N said.
"Jusko teh, first time nga natin magkaroon ng mga same day off schedules." Sabi ni Emma.
"Tangina pre, naiiyak ako." Senju said.
"ANO BA YAN! WALANG IIYAK!" Chifuyu said.
"Alam kong miss na miss natin isa't isa pero tangina wala munang iyakan." Sabi ni Baji.
I smiled at them. "I miss you. Section Uno." I said.
Agad silang tumingin sa 'kin. "I miss drinking and having fun with you guys."
"Thank you for coming home." Y/N said.
Emma teared up. "Yun naman talaga diba? Uuwi tayo sa isa't isa."
"Gawin natin yung dating gawi!" Mikey said.
He put his hand on the center. "Section Uno." He said.
Agad naming pinatong ang aming mga kamay. "Hanggang Dulo." I said.
"In one, two, and three. SECTION UNO!" He shouted.
"HANGGANG DULO!"
I wrapped my arm around my wife. It feels good to be reunited again. It feels so good to have them by my side.
I kissed my wife's forehead. "Are you happy?"
"Sobra."
"You missed them so much." I teased her.
She chuckled. "Miss na miss."
I stared at my friends and they're having fun. It's been a while since i saw them na ganto.
And for one last time, they're the one who takes me home.
Section Uno will forever be our youth at ang bawat piyesa na bumubuo samin ni Y/N.
"I love you, thank you for taking us home." She whispered and hugged me.
"HOY SALI RIN KAMI!" Sigaw nila.
"Bawal!" Y/N said.
Once again, Section Uno never failed to make us feel safe in their arms. Sila pa rin hanggang dulo.
