RINDOU
I used to have a best friend. A best friend na laging nandito sa tabi ko. A best friend who loves and accepts me. She embraced my flaws and imperfections.
And it's Y/N. God knows how much i love this woman. He knows how i always pray for her every night. To guide her. To keep her safe.
I am happy. I am happy that she found Mikey when she needs someone the most. Masaya rin ako na naging sila ni Mikey. They're perfect for each other.
Tahanan nila ang isa't isa. At sila ang bumubuo sa isa't isa. They're each other's missing piece. I envy Manjiro kasi nakuha niya si Y/N pero okay naman na ako.
Fast forward, my best friend got married. They build a family and she's a good mother. Hindi niya nga pina experience ang mga na experience niya sa parents niya.
But years pass by and she's getting weak. Hanggang sa na confine na siya. She has a heart problem. Gustong gusto ni Manjiro na magpa heart surgery siya but Y/N told him na wag na dahil malaking gastos ito.
Mas mabuting mag save na lang siya ng mga savings for their kids. I saw how he always worked hard para kay Y/N at sa mga anak niya.
There's a time na we went out for a drink and we talked about her.
Flashbacks
"How's Y/N?" Kuya Ran asked.
"Okay lang naman siya. Ikaw? Okay ka pa?" Manjiro asked.
"Hmm.. yeah. Kaya pa." He answered.
"Hindi ka ba nahihirapan? Ayaw niya ba talaga magpa surgery?" Tanong ni Izana.
Mikey sipped on his drink. "Ayaw talaga."
I looked at him. "Paano ka naman na gusto pa siyang makasama?"
"Mas rerespetuhin ko pa rin desisyon niya. Tsaka, i think she really needs to take a rest. Marami na siyang nagawa. Marami na siyang natulungan." He replied. "Marami naman na siyang nakuhang gusto niya."
"Gustuhin ko man na maging selfish pero wala na akong magagawa dahil ayan na. I just need to accept everything."
"Basta, if you need someone. Nandito lang kami." Kakucho reassures him.
End of Flashbacks
tw: mention of death
I was out of the hospital room when the Doctors announced that she's gone. I saw Mikey na hawak hawak ang kamay ni Y/N while begging her to comeback.
"Mahal naman. Akala ko ba pupunta pa tayo sa New Zealand tas doon tayo titira?" He whispered. "Please, come back to me."
It hurts seeing him like this. Pero, mas masakit na wala na akong best friend. Dahan dahan akong lumapit sa bed and gently held her hand.
It's so cold. Ang kaninang luha na pinipigilan ko ay unti unting bumagsak. I still remember what she said when we had our last conversation. She wants to be with him before she finally takes her last breath.
"I am going to miss you, Y/N." I whispered. "Rest easy, my best friend."
I looked at Mikey and he's still not recovering kaya agad kong tinawagan sila Kuya. They immediately rushed to the hospital.
Pagdating na pagdating nila ay umiiyak na agad sila Emma. "Y/N." She called out for her name.
"Wake up, ano ba!" She said while sobbing.
"Y/N, let's grab some coffee na again." Paulit ulit na sambit nila Ashlyn.
Sila Kuya naman ay hawak hawak na si Mikey. "Tangina." He cursed. "She's my Bawat Piyesa. Siya ang bumubuo sa 'kin. Ngayong wala na siya, paano na ako?"
"How can i move on from this?" He asked. "Hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko kaya na wala siya tuwing gigising ako sa umaga. Hindi ko kaya na wala siya."
"Nandito pa mga anak niyo. Ang Bawat Piyesa niyo ang bumubuo sa anak niyo." Naiiyak na sambit ni Ashlyn.
"You should be strong for yourself and for your kids." Kakucho said.
"Hindi ka namin pipigilan umiyak at magluksa. Dahil naiintindihan kita." Kuya said.
We helped him organize her burial. May mga araw na nakikita namin si Mikey na nasa harap lang ng kabaong ni Y/N. Wala pa siyang tulog.
Nung Last Day na, nasa tabi namin nila Izana yung anak nila habang nag e-eulogy siya. Umiiyak si Liam habang hawak ang kamay ng kanyang nakababatang kapatid. "Mommy." He said while sobbing.
"Please, look after us. Mahal na mahal kita, Y/N. And i won't replace you." Mikey said.
"Ikaw at ikaw ang mamahalin ko hanggang sa susunod na buhay. Let's see each other again pero wag muna ngayon."
I got out of my car, kasama si Manjiro at mga anak niya. Kailangan niya raw kasi taga bantay sa dalawang anak niya. We went towards her place at agad na umupo ako sa damuhan.
I helped him clean her name sa may lapida. Nagsindi naman ako ng kandila and prayed silently.
I hope this prayer reaches you, Y/N. I hope our prayers ay naririnig mo kasama si God. I hope you're doing well. "I miss her." Manjiro started.
"We all miss her."
"Grabe na 'tong pangungulila ko sayo, mahal. Hindi na kayang idaan sa tingin na lang sa mga pictures. Padalaw naman sa panaginip." He whispered.
"Ikaw, Bawat Piyesa ko e. Ngayong wala ka na, wala na. Kulang na ako." Pagra rant niya.
"Kung may visiting hours lang sa heaven baka araw araw ako nanjan." Sambit niya ulit.
I chuckled. "Baka jan ka na rin mag trabaho. Overtime yan?"
"Omsim yan, par!"
I stared at the sky. "I miss you, Y/N. Ang dami kong chismis pero wala ka na. Ang iinit pa naman ng mga teas ngayong matanda tayo."
"Miss ka na rin ng mga anak mo. Don't worry, they're growing na matino. Kami kasama." I joked.
"Hulaan mo sino natayong ina niyang mga yan?" Manjiro asked. "Mga asawa ng mga lalaki samin. Tita Ninang na nga. Tita Mommy pa!"
"Flexible 'no?" Pagbibiro ko at nagtawanan kaming dalawa.
"Pero, miss ka na talaga ng mga bata. Si Liam naglalaro na rin ng basketball. Si Sky naman may recital for ballet." He said. "They're growing so fast."
"DAD, MAY RECITAL PA AKO! MAIINTINDIHAN KA NAMAN NI MOMMY PAG UMALIS NA TAYO!" Sky said.
"Ay sorry na beh!" Mikey said. He smiled and stared at her name. "I miss you. Bisita ulit ako dito."
"We miss you, Y/N. I hope you're doing well."
