Without Her (Edited/TagLish)

Chapter 9

Three months after I have read Sarah's memo. It's now month of August. Allow me to tell you how pathetic I was for the past three months. Well, first, I didn't believe that Sarah's May Memo for me was her last memo. So when month of June came, I still went to her house and open her June memo. Pero wala na 'yong laman. Walang kahit na anong nakasulat do'n. Pero hindi pa rin ako nawalan ng pag-asa kaya naman tiningnan ko rin 'yong July memo niya para sa akin pero katulad ng June memo niya, wala ring nakasulat doon. Nakakatawa, 'di ba? I'm still hoping that she had written anything to her remaining memos for me. That explains why I am here again in her house, holding her phone.

"Please, Love. I would be so happy if there's something that I'll read in here," I said or much probably, I requested. I took a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh before I open her August memo.

Still, nothing has written and sadness showered over me. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang gagawin ko kaya naman inilagay ko sa bulsa ko ang cell phone niya saka ako dumeretso sa bahay nina Emmy.

"What brought you here?" she asked as soon as she saw me.

"My car, perhaps?" She suddenly smacked my head after hearing what I said.

"Ouch! What was that for, Emmy?" I hissed. Ang brutal talaga nang babae na 'to.

"For you, stupid! Again, what brought you here?" Ang taray talaga nitong si Emmy.

"Aren't you going to let me in, first?" I asked but she just glared at me and said,

"Nope. Tell first why you are here." I sighed. This girl in front of me is a little bit extra ordinary to other girls out there.

"It's about Sarah." When I said that, she opened their door and let me in. Basta tungkol kay Sarah ang pag-uusapan namin ay nagiging mabait si Emmy.

"I'll just prepare you something to eat while talking about Sarah." I nodded my head and she went straight to their kitchen.

For the past three months, I haven't talked about Sarah with anyone else even with Emmy.

I followed her to their kitchen. Nakita ko siya na may hinahalo kaya lumapit ako sa kaniya. Nakatalikod siya sa akin noong maisipan ko siyang tanungin.

"What are you cooking?" Halos mahampas na niya ako ng sandok noong nagulat siya sa biglaang pagtanong ko.

"What the hell, Chris?! You scared me! Stop doing that!" I knotted my forehead. Ano ba ang ginawa ko?

"Stop what?" I confusely asked.

"Stop popping around!" Bigla akong natawa dahil sa sinabi niya. It's really easy for Emmy to get scared.

After almost 30 minutes, her carbonara is done already. Inihanda na niya ang lamesa para sa aming dalawa. Pagkatapos no'n ay nag-umpisa na kaming kumain.

"What about Sarah, then? Did she visit you while wearing a white dress and she's standing beside your bed looking so pale and scary?" Emmy said and I can't help to laugh harder. Grabe! Ano ba naman ang naiisip nang babae na 'to? Ano 'yon? Multo si Sarah?

"What?! I am asking you! Don't laugh or else I'll throw you this plate!" she retorded so I stopped from laughing.

"Seriously Emmy, you should stop watching horror films. You know, you're being unrealistic and you don't seem to be logical at all. Hanggang ngayon ay naniniwala ka pa rin talaga sa multo?" I told her but she just glared at me. Parang gusto na niyang ibato sa akin 'yong baso na nasa tabi niya.

"So, what exactly happened then?" she asked.

"Well, I told you before that Sarah had written memos from January to December, right?" I said. Kumakain kami habang nag-uusap.
