CHAPTER 28

Recipe's of Memories

Do you get that feeling that when you're at your limit? Kung sobrang bigat na ng sitwasyon para sa 'yo, may kusang dadating na tulong. Like even if you're not looking for it, kusa mo itong makikita at mahahanap?

I thought everything would end this day. I won't succeed. Uuwi akong luhaan, disappointed with myself. Questioning of what is the purpose of being born when parang ramdam mong walang kwenta naman pala at puro problema at pasakit lang ang kinakaharap mo.

I guess everything just happens for a reason.

Kung pagsusumahin ko, I've never really expected to find something like this- Wala ngaba talaga? Well I may have, I'm a curious person so nasa isip ko na kanina pa na may laman talaga ang libro na 'yon na magagamit ko. And I'm not mistaken.

I placed the book back at where I found it, putting it right next to him.

After thoroughly checking the contents of the paper. A conclusion hits me.

"I think I found it," ani ko.

Kanina pa nagtataka si Selene sa inaasta ko. Getting really hyped up, made me care nonetheless about my surroundings. Hindi kopa kasi siya nasasagot. I was just too focused. "Anong, ano? You found what?" Naguguluhan niyang tanong.

I looked at her. "The solution we need is right here." I placed the paper in front of her. "Do you see what's written?"

She looked at it. "Mooncake Recipe." Napaisip siya.
"Mooncake... Hmm." At first she's just staring at it pero laking gulat ko ng bigla nalang siyang tumili habang nanlalaki ang matang nakatingin sa'kin. "Lah! Totoo ba? Wait..."

"Yeah." I smiled. "This could be it."

Bigla nalang siyang umalis pagkakaupo at nagtatatalon na para bang nanalo siya sa loto. She's totally ecstatic right now.

Glad, she instantly got my point.

"When will we start?" Tanong niya habang patuloy padin sa pagtalon.

Even me myself can't hide the fact of being showered with hope. How amazed I felt about this.

"So I've clearly inspected and read the ingredients needed and as I can see we have everything, well except for one..." I blurted.

I placed my finger in the word that is printed on the bottom part of the paper.

"Moondrop Essence," basa niya. "Ano 'yon? This is the first time hearing about something like this."

"I also don't know. Try ko i-search sa google."

Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at sinubukang hanapin sa google kong ano Moondrop essence. Pero puro litrato lang ng buwan ang lumalabas, even though hindi specific na buwan 'yong tinipa ko sa search bar.

We both decided na tanungin nalang si Ma'am Samatha tungkol dito at baka may alam siya kung ano ito. We were one step ahead closer, alam ko 'yon. I know that this is the answer to our problem. I feel it- no, I knew it. He will eat this. Kaya, by hook or crook, I need to look for this said ingredient, kailangan kong malamn kong ano ito kahit walang kahit sino saamin ang nakakaalam.
