I was young and stucked in that room. Our family business is not that wide yet, my parents were always busy expanding our business so they forgot about me.
I once believed that love is unconditional, but because of my past experiences l could say love fades as time goes by. Just like seasons, people changed.
l peeked out the window and watched the other kids playing on the playground, close to our house. They seemed so happy while l was alone in my room with my toys around me.
Minsan na akong nakipaghalubilo sa kanila pero hindi nila ako pinansin, bagkus tinawag nila akong baliw. Sabi ni mama manatili na lang ako sa loob ng bahay para hindi ako kutyain ng iba. Pero nakakalungkot mag-isa, pakiramdam ko walang may gustong makipagkaibigan sa akin....Hanggang sa may nakita akong lata at ginawa ko iyong nakikita ko sa TV na nag-uusap gamit ang lata kahit may distansya sa pagitan ng dalawang tao.
Pagkatapos kong gawin iyon, ang kabilang bahagi ay ibinato ko sa labas, pero imbis na mahulog iyon pababa ay lumusot ito sa nakabukas na bintana ng kabilang bahay, idinikit ko ang tenga ko sa butas ng lata, hinihintay na may sumagot o makakuha. At doon ko nga nakilala si Archie, he was the one who found the can.
"Hello?" nag-eco pa ang boses niya sa taynga ko.
"H-Hi!" I was stammering and didn't know what to say at first.
Months passed by, we became friends... without even seeing each other in person, kagaya ko nasanay na rin siyang mag-isa at hindi nagpapakita sa mga tao dahil takot mahusgahan, he said he has
heterochromia iridum. A person with mismatched eyes. It was a genetic disorder, the distribution of pigment on the eyes was disrupted.People thought it's a disease that's why he got bullied.

Monday, 12:26 PMAkemi:
But your eyes
I saw your photos online, both of your eyes are color gray. You said the other one is blue.
Rhys:
I got into an accident before and l lost one of my eyes.
Akemi:
Kaya ba bigla mo na lang akong hindi kinausap? I waited for you. Hinintay kita hanggang lumipat na kami ng ibang tirahan.
Rhys:
It was a car accident and l almost die because of it. My parents pulled out some strings so l could have a successful operation. They brought me to Seattle for recovery.
Nabulag ang kaliwang mata ko dahil sa aksidente kaya naghanap na lang sila ng donor na kaparehas ng kulay sa kanan kong mata.
It's a miracle that l survived from that accident. God really has plans for me, l thought it was the end. Then we talk again, like how we used to before. That's why l believe in fate because it's you l am destined to.
Akemi:
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're okay now.
Rhys:
I'm fine, love. Though they have to check my brain every month.
Akemi:
Bakit? Pati ba utak mo naapektuhan?
Rhys:
Parang ganoon na nga, hindi nawala ang memorya ko pero may mga nagbago sa akin, isa na roon ang pag kontrol ko sa sarili kong panaginip.
I always dreamed of you, then one night it just happened that l learnt to control my dream. I don't want to get you out of my mind and I'm afraid that l might lose you that's why l control my own dreams for you to stay.
Lately did l knew it's Lucid dream.
Akemi:
Thank you, Rhys.
And l'm sorry.
Rhys:
For what?
Akemi:
Salamat kasi hindi mo ako kinalimutan at pasensya na kasi hindi kita naalala kaagad.
Rhys:
Mawala man ako sa ala-ala mo, mananatili naman ako sa puso mo.
So don't lose hope, Akemi. Just think of how l fought just to survive for you.
Akemi:
Sira! May pamilya ka rin noh. Lumaban ka para sa pamilya mo.
Rhys:
I only have ate Rysha and Rhyz. My parents separated long time ago and it's because of me.
I'm a damsel in distress.
Akemi:
Hey don't say that. For me, you're so amazing.
Kinaya mong mabuhay sa aksidenteng iyon, matapang ka.
Rhys:
Did you just complimented me, love?
Akemi:
Why are you always calling me 'love'?
Rhys:
Because l love you.
Akemi:
I love you too
Rhys:
F*ck! For real?!
Akemi:
As a friend.
Rhys:
You just killed the little hope l had baby :(
Akemi:
I like you
Rhys:
Scam.
Huwag ka nang magbiro, masakit.
Akemi:
Seryoso ako, gusto na kita Rhys, Archie or sino ka pa. Gusto kita hindi bilang kaibigan kun'di bilang lalaki.
I like you so much.
