Paper Rings | K. Izana

Special Chapter V

We're here in our room. Kaming dalawa lang ang nasa bahay while our kids? Nasa mga Lolo't Lola nila.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"May hinahanap ako!" She answered.

Agad akong tumayo sa pagkakahiga. I looked at the boxes na nilalabas niya pero mas nacurious ako sa black box.

"What's this?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she tried na agawin ito sa 'kin pero agad akong lumayo sa kanya.

"Love naman."

I chuckled. "Patingin lang."

I slowly opened the box and i saw our Paper Rings and photos. My eyes went on a white bond paper na maayos ang pagkakatiklop.

"Can i read this?" I asked.

She bit her lower lip. "Oo, para sayo naman talaga yan."

I slowly opened the letter at nakita ko ang mga nakasulat. Sa 'kin nga.

Dear Izana Kurokawa,

Hello Uno! I'm writing this letter kasi wala lang trip ko lang. Kidding. I just want to say i miss you. Everyday. I don't even know where i am going to start.

First, thank you. Thank you for loving me endlessly. Thank you for being a great rival when we're in highschool. I really enjoyed my highschool days with you. The detention, guidance office, foundation day, and events. You're one of my reasons why i choose to continue doing what i love. Seeing you na nag eenjoy maglaro, makes me feel alive. Thank you for being a good friend. Thank you for always listening to my nonsense chikas.

Second, meeting you was the best part of my life. It was the greatest part of my whole journey here on Earth.

I love you. I still love you, Uno. Ikaw pa rin ang hinahanap hanap ko sa tuwing paggising ko sa umaga. I miss waking up with you. I miss cooking with you. I miss everything about us pero alam kong parehas na tayong pagod. That's why, i made that decision.

Dati alam ko sa sarili ko na i will never fall in love with the likes of you. Ayoko sayo kasi you're too high to reach. Pero sinwerte ata ako kasi ikaw pala 'tong patay na patay sating dalawa.

Mahal, i will never regret loving you. You are always so good to me na kahit anong gawin kong ikakasakit mo, lagi mong tinatanggap. And that's a bit unfair.

I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm sorry for breaking up with you pero ginawa ko lang naman 'to para sating dalawa. Ginawa ko 'to for us to grow in separate ways pero tangina 2 days break pa lang tayo eto ako sinusulatan ka nitong cringe na letter.

Please, kung makikita mo man 'to sana kasal na tayo tapos wag mo ako pagtawanan. Sasampalin kita.

Oo, kailangan mo makita 'to na kasal tayo. Ikakasal tayo, ako na nagdesisyon. Sa ngayon galit galit muna.

Babalik ka naman diba? Pero kung hindi, edi wag. Magpakasaya ka. Walang hard feelings ah gusto talaga kita makitang masaya pero i think mas better kung ako talaga ang endgame mo.

I love you, Izana. You will always be my number one. I'm rooting for you, my love. Mahal na mahal kita higit pa sa salita.

love, Y/N

Agad niyang tinakpan ang mukha niya sa kahihiyan. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sweet ah." Pang aasar ko sa kanya.

"Ano ba nahihiya ako!?" She said. I chuckled and removed her hands on her face.
