Very very short update! The end is coming.

Kali didn't look lively and looked like she won't be lively for a long time now. Nakaidlip ako sa tabi niya after namin mag-usap that morning and after that, nakatulala na lang siya.
But she requested for us to cook one of Tita Levi's recipes but she was just silent. Kali was never silent. But she has the right to be.
I can't imagine how much she suffered after that. Ako ang may kasalanan ng lahat pero parang siya ang mas naparusahan. They didn't even take her memories from her and they let her see how much I was suffering as a human.
Yes, being close to the punished one, you'll end up being punished too. But she should've not suffered more than me.
"You know what. . ."
Napatingin ako sakanya. Hindi na siya nakatitig sa sahig at diretso na ang tingin sa akin. "I kinda miss the amusement park."
Oh, it's your favorite place.
She smiled at me but her eyes doesn't show even a faint hint of happiness. "How about we go there?"
"Hindi ba masama ang pakiramdam mo?" Nag-aalala ko na tanong.
She shook her head and stood up to stretch. She caressed my face and kissed my forehead. "I'll get ready first."
This is the first time we went to an amusement park where we don't feel happy. We're literally so awkward right now and we both look so miserable.
"Bumper car?" I asked when I saw the bumper car near us.
"Always," she answered. We held hands as we went there and all the other rides. It feels like we haven't let go of each other's hands since.
Halata kay Kali na wala siyang gana so I don't understand why she insisted on going here. Ako naman, pinipilit na maging masayahin para lang ganahan siya.
But it doesn't seem to work at all. Pilit ang bawat kilos at reaksyon niya and that's making our situation worse.
"You can talk to me," panimula ko nang masakyan na namin ang ferris wheel. "Something's wrong, I can feel it. I don't like that we're pretending that nothing's wrong."
