"Anak! Dito ka, tulungan moko. Kuhanin mo na gusto mo!"
Kinuha ko yung box at binigay kay papa.
"Pa, 1990 pa yan eh! 30 years na ata yan!" Tawa ko. Totoo naman, eh. Matatanda na talaga yung mga tinitinda ni papa dito sa souvenir shop nya.
"Ay, ayaw mo non, ate! Vintage!" Singit ni Astro.
"Hindi na ako teenager, Astro! I'm 34 na! At, aanohin ko ba yan?"
"Matanda kana, ate!" Sabay tawa ni Astro.
Gusto ko sana syang batukan, pero mag mumukha akong masama. Alam ko naman na matanda na ako! Tinignan ko nalang sya ng masama. Dinilaan naman ako! Ano bayan, tandang tanda na! 25 na ata to, eh! Parang bata.
Many years have past, and still no sign of that guy. I started to move on. Pero, I still think of him from time to time. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit hindi pa sya nabalik, eh! It's been like, 10 to 15 years since our last interaction!
"Excuse me po. Narito po ba si Astrid Sylvia Reyes? May package po."
"Ay, ako po! San galing po ito, kuya? Wala naman po kasi akong inoorder." Sabi ko.
"Galing po sya kay Jayci Ethan Santos, ma'am. Galing pa po New york."
Ha? Jayci? Bat ngayon lang to nag paramdam? Hindi na sya nahiya, may pa package pa.
"Salamat, kuya."
Binuksan ko yung package. May isang flash drive don. Umakyat ako sa kwarto ko at linagay yon sa computer ko. Ang nakalagay ay, for Astrid, my one and only. 2000 pa ito! Antagal na. Bat ngayon lang dumating?
"Hi, Astrid! So, kamusta kana? Sana okay ka lang. Nasa New York na ako! May sasabihin lang sana ako. Ngayon, baka nag tataka ka, kung bakit hindi pa ako nauwi. May sakit kase ako, Astrid. Malala na. Kaya, baka ngayon, ako ay, you know. Patay na. Please, wag ka mag alala. Narito parin ako. Nasa puso mo. Hindi mo ako makikita, pero lagi akong nasa tabi mo. Please, be strong. Please, have some courage. I know, I said that I will be back. I even promised you. I'm sorry because I broke that promise. I made a painting for you. It reminds me of the times we were together in my dad's backyard eating strawberries I took jn my dad's fridge. Mahal na mahal kita, Astrid.
Nothing. Nothing can define my love for you.
Mahal kita, tinatangi."
Kaya pala.
Ginanon kita. Sinabihan kita ng masasama. I wish I knew. I wish I did something sooner. Wala akong nagawa. I shouldve done something. Noong panahon na yon. Kahit, just to say my final and give my proper goodbyes. Sana may nagawa ako.
Because, I was losing you.
