Ang lagaslas ng talon ang una kong narinig ng makarating ako. Nilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid. Everythings feels so different now. Mas yumabong mga puno at halaman sa paligid. The scent from the water..
It's been so long..
This place is beautiful as ever. Matagal na rin ng last na punta ako rito. The memories from back then keeps flashing at the back of my mind. Those happy memories in this place.
I smiled bitterly.
"Y-you liar..."
"Sil, you liar!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Sunod-sunod na tumulo ang mga luha ko. I couldn't stop crying. Ang bigat-bigat sa dibdib. Gusto ko siyang sigawan. Gusto kong magalit sa kanya. Gusto kong sabihin sa kanya lahat ng mga hinanakit ko.
I waited...
I waited for her..
I waited for years for her to come back like she promised. I kept telling myself during those days that maybe she was just busy. That maybe she was dealing with some important matter. Na baka nagkasakit lang siya. Na baka masama ang panahon sa kanila. I convinced myself...
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, but she didn't come back even once.
"You damn liar..." Bakit ko ba pinaniwalaan ang mga sinabi niya? Gosh. Now I look crazy, laughing and crying at the same time. Or maybe I'm really the one to blame too. I trusted her too much. Maybe it was just a phase for her to make me feel better.
I can't blame her for that. She just happened to help me, to help a kid like me that day and stayed with me.
That's right.
You can't even remember me...
Why am I hurting? The way she looked at me was so different from before, as if I was just a stranger she never knew.
I should've forgotten long ago what I feel for her. After all, I'm the only one who feels this way towards her. I looked at her differently, which I shouldn't have done in the first place. She's out of my league.
That's right. This is wrong. I must forget this. Mahigpit kong hinawakan ang dibdib ko, why am I hurting?
It hurts...
It pains me so much..
We're far more different now. We're so different..
..too different..
I have nothing, and she have everything..
I'm ashamed if she know my rank.
..And I'm a giftless...
Tahimik akong naupo sa puntod ng pamilya ko.
"N-nandito na po ang bunso niyo.."
Matagal na rin ng bumisita ako sa bahay. It has been years ng wala sila, but the nightmare from that night keeps hunting me.
I keep dreaming of that night. They're body full of blood.
Ate Lia smile..
And, that creature..
I've been looking for that creature, hoping that someday I'm the one who would kill that demon. I intended to. I'm must be me the one to kill that demon..
I took a deep breath, and look at the clear sky. The weather is great today.
"I made it so far ate Lia.." I whispered to the air.
