Her POV:
I'm home with my boyfriend. We're laying down in the bed, watching 'Rewind'. Movie nila Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes, maganda raw sabi nila eh.
"Your parents are so proud of you, baby" bigla niyang saad. Natigilan ako.
"They are?" tumango lang sya.
I let him sleep muna before I go to the balcony of our room.
Eto na naman tayo eh. Iinom ko na naman lahat ng hinanakit ko sa buhay.
"Will they be proud at me?" naiiyak kong sabi sa sarili ko. Naramdaman ko na lumakas ang hangin.
'You're a disappointment to this family'
'Nakakahiya ka'
'With honors lang?'
'Mabuti pa ang anak ni ano'
'Gayahin mo siya, mabait at magalang na bata'
Those words keep ringing in my head.
"Are you okay?" I felt my boyfriend's hand in my waist. I saw him taking my drinks away.
"I'm not, I'm a fucking disappointment for them" hagulgol ko.
"You're not, I'm so proud of you, my love" lalo lang akong naiyak sa sinabi niya.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"Nothing is wrong with you" he kissed my forehead. "You are the best"
"Thank you" niyakap ko siya nang mahigpit.
"Hmm" mga 3 minutes din kaming magkayakap.
"For what?" bigla niyang tanong.
"Huh?"
"Thank you for what?"
"Ah, thank you for staying with me" I smiled at him. Niyakap ko uli siya at umiyak. Biglang lumakas ang hangin, kasabay non ang pagsama ni Lewis, my boyfriend. Kita ko ang ngiti at luha sa kaniyang mukha habang unti-unting nawawala.
Right, thank you for visiting me, my love. Happy 5th death anniversary.
I'll love you, 'till death.
