"Eli, abogado ka na! May abogado na tayo sa pamilya!" My eyes widen upon hearing Papa's voice.
Boung araw akong nagtago sa kwarto ko, I also restricted myself from opening my social media accounts. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko dahil si Mama umiiyak na habang yakap siya ni Papa at ang mga kapatid ko naman ay tuwang tuwa na naluluha.
Hala, abogado na talaga ako. Seryoso ba 'to? Baka prinaprank lang ako ni Papa, joke.
Mga halos isang oras din akong umiiyak dahil dito, gagi abogado na ako! Worth it 'yung mga "cutie" posting ko way back when I was in highschool.
Matapos iyon, nagkaroon ng maliit na selebrasyon sa aming tahanan. Nag-imbita sila mama ng mga kakilala nila at syempre ang mga kaibigan ko rin.
"OMG ABOGADO NA BESTFRIEND KOOO!!!" Pauline screamed as she walked toward me.
"Grabe, Pau. Ako lang 'to." I playfully said and we both laughed.
I was busy saying thank you to all the visitors who congratulated me when my mama suddenly talked over the mic.
"Congrats, Eli! Abogado ka na, proud kami sa'yo. Pinapangarap lang natin 'to dati e, mana ka talaga saakin." My mama proudly told everyone. I smiled at her.
"Lyanna abogado na ang anak mo, pwede na ba siyang magboyfriend?" Pabirong tanong ni Tita sakanya.
"Wala ngang pinakikilala saaming manliligaw, boyfriend pa kaya." Sagot ni mama kay Tita.
I was laughing when my other best friend spoke, "Baka may inaantay."
I immediately glared at her and everyone laughed.
It was a tiring day for me. When the visitors went home already, I thanked my parents for the celebration and of course, God.
Nang matapos ako mag-thank you sa lahat ng bumati saakin sa social media accounts ko, naisipan kong matulog na pero bigla kong namalayang nagbukas ako ng email at sumulat ng mensahe para sa isang tao.
To the guy that I used to love.
To the guy who used to root for me.
To the guy who told me about 10 years after..
To:Mateo.Alvarez@gmail.com
I don't know if you are still using this email and it has been 10 years ago after all. Hello love, abogado na ako! I hope you are doing well. It wasn't really my plan to message you but out of nowhere, here I am, writing a message for someone whom I don't know will read it.
It's been 10 years since we separated, siguro nga naka-move on ka na. Good for you! I just want to let you know about this because you were part of my journey, after all, I was with you when I was dreaming of this title. I know we were just teens back then and I am not really sure if you remember me. But I hope you know that I am proud of you and what you are today. See you when I see you, Mateo.
Best Regards,
Atty. Elianna March Reyes.
I slept after that. Upon waking up I thought it was a firm that emailed me back but I was wrong.

Congratulations.

Architect Sebastian Mateo Alvarez.
