“Pure love stays in heart forever”

I was cleaning the living room kase may visitors daw sila Mom and Dad na mga relatives lang daw namin kaya naisipan kong ako nalang ang maglilinis dahil wala naman akong ginagawa.

Boredom hits me really hard din kaya para naman malibang ako for a while. Tsaka mamaya pa yung NBA sa TV. Manonood talaga ako mamaya. Stephen Curry lang sakalam!

It's so messy naman kase ng mga gamit dito sa living room. Parang mga bata ang nakatira dito. Tsaka ang dusty din ng tiles, pati na rin sa mga sofas. Is it for real?! What the! Buti nalang talaga mabait akong nilalang hays. Ako pa talaga mag-a adjust sa mga visitors. I open my phone and play some relaxing music while slowly cleaning the mess in the room. Mamaya pa naman sila makakarating kaya I have more time to clean everything. I played "A Thousand Years" which is one of my favorite song I used to play and listen everyday in my bedroom too. I remembered someone whenever I played this song. Basta nevermind. Wala na yun. Past is past never to discuss.

I went to the kitchen to get the vacuum cleaner para mas easy to clean ang floors and some dusts in the ceiling walls na rin. I get some trapos para na rin linisin ang mga vases of flowers and ang mga kalat na rin sa table. Kumuha rin ako ng trash can para sa mga garbages and some nonsense stuffs. I get some sprays para naman maging mabango ang sala. I get the albatross para mawala yung mga insects sa paligid and open the air-conditioning para maging malamig pa sa Convo niyo. Oh diba? Perfect living room ang peg.

"I have died everyday waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years. I love you for a thousand years."

Feel ko talaga ang music. Sarap talaga sa ears. Sumabay ako sa pagkanta kaya naman mas ginaganahan akong maglinis. Sa gwapo ko namang 'to, ang bait na, helpful pa kaso nga lang single hays. It's 9:30 in the morning and 11 pa yung NBA kaya much time to clean, clean, and clean up pa. I arranged the pillows and blankets in the sofas. I arranged the photo frames and some expensive objects ni Mom. No more dirt and dusts na kaya I have to rest for a while. Time check 10 pa. 30 minutes break.

I get the milk in the fridge. It's kinda weird right? Ang matured ko na pero I still drink milk. Baby pa kase ako eh, baby mo yieee. Nagba balanced diet kase ako mga beh para na rin maging healthy ako and became physically fit na rin. I want to become a basketball player hehe. I also eat some veggies and fruits with matching some breads tsaka cereals. I also limit myself from eating too much. I put everything aside and back to my cleaning up then suddenly I stepped something in my foot. It's a piece of a picture with two persons inside it.

A picture of us and it made me bring back everything on how we started and met each other. A picture with full of loving memories of us both. A very special picture na nagpatulo bigla ng mga luha ko. I remembered everything about this especially this person, the girl whom I love the most, the one who stole my achy heart and caught my attention. I became emotional when I saw this old picture. Actually hindi pa siya luma. Napabayaan ko na siguro and I misplaced it kaya kung saan² na napupunta. Can we still go back to the days where we are together?! But how? Can we still bring back our love just like before? But how can we ever bring everything back when you're not in my side anymore? When you're already gone in this world?!

********* (Flashback)

"Huy, can we take a picture of you two, bro?! Pang remembrance lang and last day na ng klase natin, magco college na tayo." Sabi ng mga tropa ko na pinu push ako sa crushiecakes ko.

She's my elementary crush and yes, torpe ako kaya hindi ko man lang kayang e confess ang nararamdaman ko sa kaniya dahil wala akong courage na aminin sa kaniya baka ma reject lang ako. But wala eh, alam kase ng mga tropa ko kaya they really find a way para magkalapit at magkaclose kaming dalawa. She's beautiful kase kaya I didn't stopped my heart to beat and have this feelings towards her. She really the girl whom I want to be with in the future. Nasa kaniya na ang lahat kase eh. The way she smiled melts my heart easily.

Yes. It's was our last day dahil magco college na kami next year and we'll gonna separate from everyone kase may kaniya² na kaming mga dreams in life. Pero I wasn't brave enough, I was too shy and scared to face her ket interactions ay hindi ko ginawa. Maybe I'm not ready yet. I want to become a successful Pilot while she wants to become an Engineer kaya magkakalayo na talaga kami. Maybe we're not destined to each other.

"Ah eh kung papayag siya makipag picture, then why not?!" Sabi ko kaya tinulak nila ako sa kaniya kaya nagkatabi kami sa upuan.

Actually kakatapos ko palang sa basketball game namin and pawis na pawis ako kaya pumunta ako sa locker room namin at nagpalit ng shirt. Ewan ko ba kung coincidence pero andun din kase siya nung time na yun kaya mas lalo akong na inspired hehe. May Kuya kase siya na kasama ako sa game kaya pala siya andun. Her brother was very supportive sa'kin sa kapatid niya kaya minsan nagsasama kami.

She smiled and agreed na mag picture kaming dalawa. She's too shy na tumingin sa'kin kaya sa camera lang siya tumingin. Ang gandaaa niya talaga. Her angelic and innocent face definitely suits to her personality. Kaya ko talaga siya gusto. Ayoko ring tumingin sa kaniya dahil marami ang nakatingin sa'min lalo na baka ma issue ulet kami. Nagkadikit ang mga balikat namin and I definitely felt the spark. It made me so happy.

"1! 2! 3! Smile." Sabi ng Kuya niya pati na rin mga barkada ko and teams sa basketball.

They shouted and jumped so happily dahil na rin sa kilig. She looked at me so beautifully heaven. She smiled kaya nagulat ako and nag blushed. Akala ko mga babae lang ang nagba blush, lalaki din pala HAHAHA. She stand up and went outside and wala man lang akong nagawa to stop her and even confess my feelings. But at least I had the smile she made for me and I always wear it to forever. Kakayanin ko para sa kaniya.

********* (End of Flashback)

I missed everything about us, love. I misses the whole you. Na missed ko yung dating tayo na alam kong malabong mangyari ulit yun ngayon but I'm still hoping, I'm still praying for it. But how? Paano natin ibabalik yun ngayong wala ka na?! Should I let it go? Should I forget it all? Should I move forward na ba?! I can't eh! What will I do now?!

She already passed away because of Leukemia. And hindi man lang ako ininform kaya hindi ko matanggap until now. It hurts me so much that I couldn't have the chance to court her kase mas pinili kong itago ang feelings ko kase I know she will never like someone like me but it's too late kase wala na siya. Wala na ang babaeng mahal ko. It's too late for me to love her the way I really love her the most. Maybe we're not destined to be together. I've met already the perfect girl whom I want to marry in the altar. I've already met the girl I'm always praying for. I've already met the girl whom I want to be the mother of my children.

But hanggang pangarap lang pala ang lahat. It will never happen for now. Ang sakit isipin na wala na siya. But maybe God has a better plan why he did this. To let her go. Maybe admiring her from afar is the best way to express how much I love her. Ket through prayers lang. Pero I'm still waiting and hoping for miracle. Na sana mapanaginipan ko siya and makita ulet ang maganda niyang mukha. Rest in peace my girl. See you in the hereafter. Thank you for the memories. I love you. Goodbye.

And dahil sa pag-alala ko sa past na yun, I didn't expecting na maidlip saglit sa sofa while hugging the picture of us. This picture will remain in my heart forever. I'll always be remembering you in my life. Hindi nga pa siguro tayo para sa isa't-isa. Maybe I'm gonna teach myself to let you go. We'll wait for God's perfect time for us to meet again. And this reminds me that pure love stays in heart forever.
