About You | H. Ran

Letter

Tangi,

To the author’s readers or tinatangi. Hi, Aurelia here! Captain Ran Haitani’s wife. His one and only tangi in this world. As we all know, we celebrated our first anniversary with a lot of tears and laughs because of the ups and downs of this book. 

Nakakatawa pero nakakakaba. Knowing that the author’s mind is full of unknown plots and storylines. Hindi mo malalaman ang kasunod at kung anong kalalabasan ng mga isinusulat niya unless you’ll pay with so much attention while reading her works. Malay niyo, she's been hinting about something related sa other books niya. 

And, mika’s been suffering a lot these past few months kaya patigil tigil siya sa pagsusulat. Don’t worry she’s handling it so well just like how she handles our story. Please, be kinder and gentle towards her. Don’t be so harsh sa kanya. 

Anyways, i am writing this letter to thank all of you for reading our story. For witnessing our love for each other. And, thank you kasi you found comfort in this story.

I still remember how you cried your eyes out when me and Ran parted ways. Those day and nights na you’re hoping na sana hindi masakit ang next updates. I still remember the amount of love that you guys gave sa ‘kin and especially sa asawa ko and Section Uno. 

If you guys feel like you’re not doing enough, please always remember na you’re doing well. Like, sobra. I know how tiring our lives can be but i assure you na lahat ay magiging worth it. Magiging okay rin ang lahat. 

Carpe Diem, tangi. Let’s live our life to the fullest and don’t dwell sa future na nakaabang satin. Let’s live this moment with a blast. 

You are doing well. You are enough. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for witnessing this story of ours.

Captain, ikaw na. Sayo na ang lapis at papel, mahal ko.

That’s so sweet, tangi. Don’t mind me. I’m just praising my woman. Anyways, how are you guys? Stress na ba ang lahat sa acads? Well, that’s normal. Pero hindi normal kapag pinepressure niyo sarili niyo just to please those people na wala namang ginawa kundi ikumpara kayo sa ibang tao.

Mas gugustuhin ko pang makita na pagod kayo sa pag aaral kasi gusto niyo magka award para sa sarili niyo at hindi sa ibang tao. 

And, i know that most of you are suffering from friendship problems. Eto lang masasabi ko, cut them off. Lalo na kapag toxic. Lalo na kapag hindi na talaga maaayos pa.

Cut them off. If you feel invalidated and ginagawa kang second option or backburner, cut those people off. Walang masama sa ganoong gawain. Para sa sarili mo ‘yon. 

I hope that you find someone like me. Oo, mahangin talaga ako. Someone who will love and sit with you in the silence. Yung tipong makakaintindi sayo. Yung tipong hindi ka iiwan kahit anong mangyari. Someone who will support every little stuff and decisions you do. 

And i know this is too much to wish for but i hope you guys will grow up as strong independent individuals. Sana maging matapang kayo sa pagsalubong sa mga hamon sa buhay. I hope you won’t back down kapag nararamdaman niyong wala kayong kakampi.

Kasi, nandito ako. Nandito ang Section Uno para magiging kakampi niyo.

Do whatever you want in your lives. Eat. Sleep. Drink your favorite coffee or tea. Date yourself. Date with someone you love or friends. 

We’re not getting any younger kaya live. Live without any regrets. 

Ad Meliora. That’s the latest line the author had in her mind. She found it when she’s crying her heart out sa mga bagay o taong nakasakit sa kanya.

Ad Meliora means towards better things. You should aim for the better things in life. Hindi tayo para mag dwell sa mga taong puro negativity ang dala. Better things ang ia-aim.

This is Captain Haitani writing to you, let’s face our tomorrow with better things. Mahal namin kayo.

With all love,
Aurelia and Ran.
