I'm Still Waiting For You, Mia

Panimula

Mia, where did you go? I've been searching for you for too long but I can't find you.

Sabi mo babalik ka? But it's been 6 years but still why I can't find you?

I was staring on her picture, Ito yung picture na hawak ni Ronald, kinuha ko ito sa kanya bago sya damputin ng police sa Palawan at ikinulong.

She's still the same lady that I know since before, kaya nga lang, mas gumanda sya at mas umangas pa.

“I'm still waiting for you, Mia.” I said

Nakakabobo, ang Dali kong nalalaman ang mga bagay bagay but I can't find where she is. I can't someone that I've been waiting for and I can't find someone that I've been praying for. Kasalanan nito ni Ronald.

I tried to talk to Ronald and Celine, hoping na magsasalita sila because they're the person who knows her information but they don't want to say anything. Literal , gusto ko silang sapakin.

I also tried to talk to Josh but Celine didn't want to cooperate, instead, pinagtatabuyan nya pa si Josh.

Napabuntong hininga ako.

This might be my worst nightmare.

Mia, where in Palawan did you go?  Sa haba at sa lawak ng Palawan, I really don't know where you are. Sasakalin ko talaga si Ronald kapag di kita natagpuan.

He is the reason why you left Japan. I tried to search her name in all kinds of media but I can't find her.

Mia Aries Kaide, where did you go?

I talked to Laurence, I wanna spend every vacation in Palawan. Sumasama naman si Jio, Shawn, and Christian dahil may kanya kanyang pinuntahan ang iba. If she's in Palawan, then hahanapin ko sya even in the midst of forest of this island.

“Why you keep on waiting for her Kap?” tanong ni Jio na kararating lang. Tinago ko naman agad ang larawan nya.

“ Not this time Jio." Mahinahong sagot ko.

“ You really want to find her huh?” tanong ni Laurence na kararating lang din kasama si Shawn and Christian.

“ She's the reason why you want  spend vacation here, am I right?” tanong ni Shawn sakin

“ Don't fool me Shawn, I know why you're here to spend time in Palawan also.” Saad ko habang nakatingin sa kanya.

“ Si Leixous ka nga.” he said habang napailing

Napapikit ako.

Why the hell I know things about other people but I don't even know where is her exact location? Jio and Shawn wanna go to balabac, for Annika and for someone that I don't know what is her name. Si Christian, he just wanna feel and observe life in this in this island because he will continue his study here. We spend one month of vacation here but until now, I can't find her.

She's the reason why I'm still here. She's the reason why I keep on breathing, she's the reason why I have this kind of ability and strength, she's the girl who came unexpectedly in my life but in just a snap, she disappear and I don't know where to find her.

Mia,  mark my words, hahanapin kita.

I really can't let her go.

“Kap what if wala talaga sya sa Palawan?” tanong ni Shawn kaya tinignan ko sya

“She's here. Nararamdaman ko, nandito sya.” Saad ko

The word what if is not in my vocabulary, I don't want to regret everything.

“Mia, how lucky she is. Isang Leixous ang naghahanap sa kanya.” Laurence said

“ How about you Laurence, what is your plan about Jenna? For sure ipakilala sayo ang fiance mo” tanong ko sa kanya. He's engaged but there's something wrong about it.

“Wala pa.” maikli nitong sagot

“Ang talino mo pero ang Bobo mo din Rence. You have to choose, Jenna or your fiance.” Christian said kaya napabuntong hininga si Laurence

“ Sana nga ganun lang kadali ang pumili Chris.”

“Bahala ka sa desisyon mo but always make sure that you won't regret everything.” Saad ko saka lumabas.

Umupo ako sa tabing dagat. Mia, she really love watching ocean, even if it is calm or it is roaring. I won't forget every details that she have, she's my girl.

Flashback

“Leixous, aalis ako.” she said habang nagbabasketball kami. Yeah, she's playing basketball. Tinuruan ko sya at mabilis naman itong natuto and now, may one on one kami.

“Saan ka pupunta?” takang tanong ko habang dinidribble ang bola. Saka akmang ishoshoot

“ I'm going to Japan. And I'm not sure if when will I go back here." He said kaya pagshoot ko ng bola, hindi ito nagshoot. Nabigla ako sa sinabi nya kaya tinignan ko sya. Tingin na seryoso

“Mia, stop kidding. Hindi nakakatuwa.” inis na sabi ko.

Pero yumuko ito

“Sana nga nagbibiro nalang ako." Malungkot nitong Saad

Nagulat ako sa sinabi nya. So it's true, she's leaving. Aalis nga sya, kita ko sa mga mata. I hate this, I don't want to see her eyes in this kind of pain kaya nilapitan ko sya at tinawag

“ Mia..”

Sambit ko sa pangalan nya saka inangat ang mukha nya. I hate this, ayokong makitang malungkot ang mga mata nya. This girl is stubborn and a little bit boyish and I never saw her crying.

“ Just promise me, babalik ka.” saad ko

“ Syempre babalikan kita.” she said.

“I will wait for you no matter what happened.” Saad ko

“ You're always be my home Leixous, babalikan kita, pangako.” she said then I pull her and I hug her

“ I will hold those promises. Please come home again." Bulong ko sa kanya. Then he hug me back

“Oo Leixous, babalikan kita..”

“Pag di ka bumalik, hahanapin kita.” I said kaya tinulak nya ako

“Siraulo ka talaga. Syempre babalikan kita.” he said then I started on staring at her

“Syempre babalikan mo ako, patay na patay ka sakin eh.” I said then I kiss her hands.

End of flashback

But it's been almost 6 years but still, she didn't show up on me.

And now  I'm still waiting for her
I'm still holding her promises
I'm still waiting for her to come home pero tadhana ang kalaban naming dalawa.

I know ,
I know that I will meet her once again
In the right place
In the right season
With a right reason
And in the right time

“Mia, magkikita din tayong dalawa.” Saad ko sa sarili ko

I know that she have reason why she did not show up on me when she came back and whatever reason it is, I don't care. Ang mahalaga, alam kong bumalik sya. Kung ayaw nya mang magbalik at magpakita, then ako ang gagawa ng paraan, ang bobo kasi Ni tadhana.

I am Leixous and no one can stop me.

Hindi ko man sya makita ngayon alam kong Darating ang panahon, at mangyayari din yun.

Mia, where are you?

Mia, hintayin mo ako dahil hinihintay din kita.

I know that there's no assurance for you to come home. I don't even know where you are but I still believe that one day, in the right time, in the right place and in the right place, we will meet again.

Always remember that I'm still waiting for you, Mia.

Please, come home.
