Creation of Loneliness

Napatingin naman ako sa kawalan ng matapos ko ng ayusin ang lahat ng gamit ko sa lumang bahay ng aking lolo.

Nakuha naman ng aking atensyon ang munting hardin kaya iginaya ko ang aking mga paa patungo dito."You look happy, parang kahapon lang ay hindi kita makausap ah." Hindi na ako nagulat ng marinig ko ang boses niya, palagi lang naman siyang lumilitaw sa hangin eh.

"Am I? Well, I guess nature makes me happy Mewie." I chuckled and picked the small leaf on his softy hair. He flinched a little but I didn't mind it.

"If that's the case then I am happy too. Everything's good now?" He gave me a smile. Agad naman akong napatango.

Napagtanto kung sa pagtatanim ng galit sa aking mga magulang ay wala namang patutunguhan. Masaya na sila sa kanikanilang pamilya, at ako dito, bubuohin ang aking sarili at magsisimula muli.

"Do you remember? Those times that I feel lonely? No- scratch it, that I was lonely. You're always there, to make me smile, laugh and stating that I am the best of all. To make me believe that there's always a solution on everything. Reality hits different, and so I faked my world. Tinalikuran ko ang katotohanan, pero ikaw tinanggap mo padin ako. It's been-" Pinutol naman ako ni Mew.

"Yes, it's been three years. You and me, being together on your ups and downs." Saad niya.

Napaisip naman ako ng mataintim. "Mew, I am confuse. Tatlong taon, pero kaunti lang ang alam ko sayo."

Binigyan naman ako ni Mew ng pilit na ngiti. "Gulf, what if I tell you that on those three years that we've cherished together, I wasn't there actually. You can see me, feel my presence but me giving you hugs and holding you, I can't do it because of what I am."

"Pinagsasabi mo? Papatawanin mo na naman ba ako? Kasi hindi ako natutuwa." Seryoso ko namang sabi. Tumalikod naman ako sakanya dahil sa sama ng loob. Kahit maamo iyang mukha mo wala akong pakealam.

"Gulfie, I know that you noticed it. I don't interact on you physically right? 'Coz- it's hard to say it." The pain on his voice, I can sense it.

Agad naman akong humarap sakanya pero naglaho siya. "Mew?!" What the hell? Agad naman akong nahilo bigla.

"Sir, ano pong ginagawa niyo jan?" I heard the caretaker of the house shouting and walked towards me.

"Kuya, saan na siya? Si Mew?" Nababaliw ko namang tanong sakanya. Agad naman akong napaupo.

"Teka po, Sir kayo lang naman po sng mag isang dumating dito ah. Wala po kayong kasama o isinamana." Agad namang tumayo yung caretaker namin para bigyan ako ng tubig.

My eyes teared up when I realized what did Mew told me months ago.

'Gulfie, if you feel contented on your life now, don't forget me huh?'

"I won't forget you Mew. Because I love you." I uttered to myself.

There's no person actually, that I love. Because of being extremely lonely I created someone whom gonna make me happy but at the same time will gonna hurt me too.

"Loneliness will eat me up Mew, now that you're not here anymore." Napasapo naman ako sa aking dibdib.

"Magandang gabi po, kayo po ba ang may-ari ng bahay? Ako po pala ang anak ng caretak-" Napasinghap naman ako ng nasilayan ko ang mukha nito.

"Mew!"
