BRAY POV

We just got home from the hospital with Yvonne and grandma, she said she was feeling okay so she was discharged. I noticed that Berta and Chin acted sluggishly because of Adeline's departure.

" Grandma you need to take a rest okay? "

" Sure apo, but where's Adeline? " Nagtatakang tanong ni grandma as she looked around the house.

" Grandma, she left " nakayukong sagot ko naman kay grandma. I know they were shocked why Adeline left, they didn't expect it.

" Bakit kuya? Umalis na ba siya sa trabaho or pinaalis mo? " Yvonne asked.

" Tinanggal kona siya sa trabaho. "

" Bakit apo, may nagawa ba siyang mali? " Nag-aalalang tanong saken ni grandma.

" Sir- " Chin approached me as if he wanted to say something.
" Sir, sorry po talaga pero wala pong kasalanan si ate Adeline kung anong nangyari kay donya Elinda, ako po ang nagluto nun. Sinabi lang po ni ate Adeline na siya ang gumawa nun dahil ayaw niya po akong matanggal sa trabaho pero po nakokonsenya po ako sir. Okay lang po kung tanggalin niyo po ako sa trabaho naiintindihan ko naman po basta po pabalikin niyo lang po si Ate Adeline. " Chin explained to me as she also continued to cry.

" Kuya- "

" Kasalanan ko yun lahat apo dahil matigas ang ulo ko, kaya sana ibalik mo na si Adeline hindi na deserve na matanggal dahil mabait na bata si Adeline. Hindi tama yung ginawa mo, dapat kong makita si Adeline bago ako bumalik sa America okay."

" Oo nga po sir, ako nalang po ang tanggalin niyo. "

" No, it's fine I also apologize to you and Berta for cursing and yelling at you, but I can't promise to bring Adeline back here. I'm just going to my room. " I was about to go to my room when I saw the door of Adeline's room, why did I suddenly miss her? NO..... do i really miss her?

I'm going straight to Adeline's room, I don't know if I've come here yet. Why did I feel guilty for what I did to her, she covered up Chin's sin. I went into Adeline's room because it wasn't locked, I immediately saw the bible on the side of the table. Even the dress I bought from her is hanging here, it's a pity she can't wear it. I saw a small card stuck to the bible, I picked it up and sat on the edge of the bed. I was curious to know what was written here so I decided to read it.

My eyes widened when I read the first word written on the little card, my world seemed to stop spinning. My knee weakened and I seemed to be unable to move.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POGI!!

Una sa lahat gusto kitang angkinin, char hahha gusto kitang batiin ng isang maligayang kaarawan. Yes, balak ko pa sana ng bigyan ka ng cake kaso nasabi saken nila Berta na hate na hate mo daw yun at baka itapon mo pa sa mukha ko kaya wag nalang, i changed my mind. Birthday mo kaya magsisimba ako bukas at isama ka sa wishes ko, una kong iwiwish ay tungkol sayo, bago man ako mawala dito sa lupa kahit isang beses lang pogi masilayan ko yang matamis mong ngiti, yung kissable lips mo patikim char. Ano ba 'to ibibigay ko pa ba sayo 'to or wag na, syempre ibibigay mahirap magsulat 'no. At sana naman huwag kang tumandang binata, mahanap mo yung babaeng para sayo, yung magpapangiti sayo okay?

Wala na akong mahihiling sayo pogi kundi makita lang yung ngiti mo, siguro mas pogi ka kapag nakangiti 'no. At tsaka pala itong card na'to nakita ko lang sa office mo pinulot ko ahahha. Happiest birthday pogi, gusto mo sisiw sa balut?
