YEARS after I graduated from college, I dedicated myself going places to places to teach children who are not capable of going to school. I would sometimes volunteer in some schools around the world, just like what I wanted.
Once in a while, uuwi ako sa pilipinas para bumisita kina tita at kamustahin sila, they're doing great, and through the years parang naging extended family na din namin sila, mas naging matatag pa ang connection namin nang mag-invest si Mom sa bakery ni tita, since then nagkaroon na din ng other branch si tita. I'm happy for her, dati kase nasabi saken ni Hue kung gaano kagusto ng mama niya ang pagbi-bake, and now she's living her dreams.While tito is still teaching at the university where I graduated.
Tuwing uuwi din ako, palagi akong naglalakad papunta sa park na pinupuntahan namin ni Hue. Pumupunta din ako sa coffe shop kung saan ako unang nakasakay sa motor niya, tuwing oorder ako ng coffee dun palagi kong suot ang jacket na bigay niya saken, at syempre hindi ko nakakalimutang dumalaw sa puntod niya.
It's been years since he left but I still miss him, but I know he's with me wherever I go, guiding me. I'm sure he's proud that I fulfilled my dreams despite of my memory problem, which is doing greater than before, I could now remember faces, but not names.
And Hue?
Throughout these years I never forget about him, that in every picture of me I make sure there's a space for him, that in every tree in every country I go I make sure to carved our names there.
If previous life is real, siguro nga nagkakilala na kami noon at marahil ay mahal na namin ang isa't-isa sa nakaraang buhay na yun.
Isang beses nga naisip ko, siguro wala kami sa prologue ng storya namin, siguro nga tama si Hue na nasa ending na kami, baka sa nakaraang buhay namin ay hindi namin nagawang magpaalam sa isa't-isa kaya binigyan kami ng langit ng pagkakataon para gawin yun.
Kahit maikli lang ang panahong nagkasama kami, pakiramdam ko buong-buhay ko na siyang kilala at kasama.
Isang araw bago ako lumipad paalis na naman ng bansa ay dinalaw ko si Hue, natuwa ako nang makita na napanatiling malinis ang puntod niya.
I did the usual things, I sat there just looking at the view of the whole cemetery, thinking that he's also sitting beside me, and I recite in my head the words I want to say to him now.
Dear Hue, Love Mi
I Miss You,
I love you.
The same words I always tell him whenever I remember his name, until now I could still feel his warm body, the way he smells like a new laundry, his smile that reminds me now of summer day. I miss him, in every day.
Ilang minuto na lang at babyahe na naman ako paalis ng bansa at para pumunta sa Africa, ilang buwan din akong mamamalagi dun.
My seat was next to the window, a perfect spot for me.
Whenever the plane takeoff, I can't help but ask heaven how far is he from me now?
But I know, no matter how far he is, he still loves me, and I still love him.
But for now, I will do my best to continue my life without him, for I know that each passing day is a step closer to him, someday we'll see each other again.I promise to keep him forever in my heart for I know that I'll never love someone like him again.
He'll be in my heart that even if my hair turn gray and forget every faces and names I've known, I know my heart will keep my love and his memory secure.
I''ll never forget the man that put colors on my dull days.
Up until the day I die, I will remember him,
I will remember, Hue.
The end.
