My trip to Boracay

Part 3:Thank you (Last Part)

"Rob! " I screamed as I woke up from my sleep. Rob was dead? It couldn't be! It must be all a dream, a nightmare. Yes a nightmare! I sat on my bed trying to gather all my thoughts and keeping myself from crying, when I suddenly heard a knock. I rushed to the door, opened it and found myself face to face with a young man at my age. Why? He looks like Rob?

"Are you May? he asked.

" Yes."

"I'm Robs cousin. Please come with me, he wants to talk with you immediately!"

I went with him without any questions, running with all my might after him to meet Rob's family. But where's Rob? An elderly man met us outside with a sobbing girl at his side. There was sadness in his eyes, so much like those of my companion and Rob.

"Your late" he said quietly.

My companion rushed inside with me right behind him, only to find a lifeless Rob. The woman beside him lifted her face. She was crying.

"You must be May?" she asked. When I nod continued.

"Rob has been waiting for you but you just aren't on time. He died." And again cried.

I looked at the lying Rob. He's dead! I can't believe it! He's dead! Tears slid down on my cheeks. I could still remember our talk last night. It was a wonderful, but now he is gone. Only now did I understand what he meant last night." Cause the world will end for me soon, May. Goodbye. " I remembered him say that again. I never thought that good bye would mean the last of everything.

"Oh Rob! Rob! I sobbed.

I wouldn't be seeing him anymore. I wouldn't see him smile and wave at me anymore. He hasn't even got the chance to celebrate his birthday. Oh Rob!

I accepted the letter his aunt handed to me. I opened it slowly thinking Rob wrote this himself. It says:

Dear May,

I know you don't understand what I mean last night. But my days are already counted. I have a brain cancer and have been waiting for my end. You have helped me a great deal last night, more than you have ever know. You listened to me so I did feel peace with me. You have been a gift I received from God, which I have been so grateful. Thank God I met you. My only regret is to know you for a short time. We could have a friendship or maybe even love. But time was short, so short! It never gave us a chance.

Thanks for the last night. Thanks for being there when I needed you, when I thought I was about crazy thinking I was about to die. Your sweet face will always be in my memory till I die. Good bye. So sad to say goodbye so early, but I got the feeling I may not see your smile again.Good bye.

                                            Love,
                                            Rob

I won't forget you too, Rob. I won't. Tears began to slide down again. My thoughts went back to the night I talked with him. How could I feel so heavenly that night when he felt so miserable? How? I'm sorry. I could have comforted you, mourn with you. But I was so innocent, haven't even had the slightest idea of what was really going on. Oh Rob!

When I was already seated on a pump boat that would bring us back to Caticlan, I looked back at Boracay. It was so beautiful, veiling the sadness that found its way to my heart. Good bye Boracay. I won't forget you, your lovely beaches, your cool wind. Thank you for making a night so memorable.

Good bye Rob. I won't forget you, your lovely face, your enchanting smile, your whole being. Thank you for making a night so memorable.

Now I am prepared to go back to the place where I came from- Bacolod.

                        

                           
                          ( The end  )

                   To God be the glory!
