Mika
Rachel left early para makapag prepare sa business trip niya. Nagpasalamat uli siya sa akin.
She acts normal.
Mukhang hindi niya alam yung nangyari kagabi.
[Huy]
"Shut up"
[Last day ko na.]
"I've done my part."
[Hindi ako aalis nang hindi tayo bati.]
Hinayaan ko na lang siya at naglaro na lang ako sa ps5 ko. He sat beside me at pinanuod lang ako.
I played all day at mukhang nakikisama ang multo at hinayaan lang niya ako. Malapit naman na mag 12mn. Malapit na siya mag crossover. Nagawa na niya ang unfinished business niya.
[I'm the youngest out of four children in the family. My parents doesn't care about me. In their eyes latak lang ako ng mga kapatid ko. Kahit anong gawin ko balewala sa kanila.] Sabi niya sa akin. [Nung college, may isang beses hindi ako umuwi ng isang buwan. Pero di ako nagbulakbol ah. I stayed with a friend. But not once did they ask where I am; or kung ok ba ako or kung may nangyari ba sa aking masama.]
He paused and I also paused my game.
[I was in my 3rd year when I met Rachel. I thought I had decent grades back then but she proved me wrong.] He chuckled. [She pushed me to excel. For the first time, my nag aalala sa akin. May naghahanap pag nawawala ako. May nagtatanong kung kumain na ba ako. Kung nakauwi ba ako. May nagsasabi na mag ingat ako pauwi. Honestly, it was the first time I felt really loved and cared for.]
He smiled fondly.
[We moved in together after graduating. She supported me when I opened my own motor shop. Mahal ko si Rachel, Mika, hanggang sa huling hininga ko siya ang mahal ko. Pero paano siya? Paano siya na wala na ako?]
He moved in front of me at lumuhod.
[I'm sorry kung pinipilit kita. I'm sorry kung nagiging pushy ako. Ayoko lang maiwan si Rachel na mag isa. Hindi na kita pipilitin. Hindi na kita ipagtutulakan. Pero sana, wag kang tumigil na maging mabuting kaibigan sa kanya.]
For the first time in my life, ngayon lang ako nakakita ng multong umiiyak.
He looks so sincere.
Which gives me conflicting emotions.
I sighed loudly.
I pulled him up and gave him a hug. For the first time, I gave a ghost a hug. This couple is really making me experience so many first.
The clock strikes 12. Pero walang nangyari. Dapat kinukuha na siya ng liwanag ngayon.
I look at him, frowning.
[What?]
"Last day mo na."
[And?]
"Dapat sinundo ka na nila."
I look at him intensely.
Nooo
Oh gosh.
It can't be
Don't tell me—
"To see Rachel move on was your unfinished business." Bulong ko.
Nanlaki din ang mata niya.
Parang umiikot ang paligid ko at sumakit ang ulo ko.
It wasn't the closure.
Shit talaga!
