Epilogue
"She's definitely back!"
J-Hope's POV:
A few years later...
Letting go is the hardest part of moving on. Pero after a few years, I realized mahirap pala talaga.
Those days, weeks, months and years is damn crucial. Its hell!
The memories were like nightmares. Kaya nga minsan, napapaisip ako kung bakit madaling makalimutan ang masasayang alaala. Eh diba dapat nga masasaket na alaala yung ibabaon na sa limot? Hay... mga tao talaga. Napakamasokista. Alam na nga't masaket, tinatago pa din.Tss. Kaya mahirap mag-move on eh.
Pero diba nga sabi nila, ang pag-m-move on, it takes time?
=____=
Teka nga! Bakit ko ba pinuproblema kung papaano mag-move on?
Napatingin ako sa mataas na pader na iyon.
Napangiti ako.
Napanitili ang kagandahan ng painting na yun. The wings painted on the wall of the Battleground.
Hanggang ngayon, nagpupupunta pa din kami sa Battleground.
Wala nang A4. We separated after Kiseop-hyung's graduation in Highschool. Pero syempre! Nagkikita-kita pa din naman kami, kahit papano. We're still close friends.
Well, separating isn't a wrong move for us, anyways.
Dahil after naming mag-desisyon na buwagin na ang A4, ngakroon naman na kami ng kani-kaniyang focus sa buhay.
Si Kiseop-hyung. Surgeon na ngayon. At sa ibang bansa na nakatira.
Mir-hyung pursue his acting career-ayon! May pelikula na. Yung lovelife? Aba! Maganda! Sila na ni Eunji, na ngayon ay singer na din. Akalain mo nga naman ano?
Si Bang naman, katulad ng dati, tahimik pa din. Pero kumakailan lang, pumasok na siya sa military training. I-p-pursue niya ang career sa pagiging law inforcer.
Eh ako?
Eto! Solid pa din kami ng BTS! Si Namjoon pa din ang leader-at maiingay pa din kami. Si Suga? Ayon! Torpe pa din! Dyahe! Mantakin ba namang si Hyorin pa yung nanliligaw? Walanjo, diba?!
At si Hyorin, gaya ni Eunji, singer na din. Member na siya ng isang girl group, na sikat hindi lang dito, maging sa ibang bansa.
Wala namang masyadong nagbago sa amin. Except that, may album na kami.
^______^
Yep! Hindi na kami pasayaw-sayaw lang sa Battleground-recording artist na din kami! Tignan mo nga naman ang kapalaran ano?
Though, palagi pa rin kaming nakatambay sa Battleground. Doon na nga kami nagkikita-kita ng mga dati naming kaibigan eh.
At hindi lang pala kami, pati ang kumag na si Kyungsoo. Bumuo na rin sila ng sarili nilang boy group. Actually, mas nauna pa nga silang nagging recording artist kesa sa amin eh.
_3_
At kagaya nga nang lahat, pabalik-balik din sa Battleground ang kumag. Kaya palagi pa din kaming nagkikita.
Frenemies kami.
-_______-
Everything went well for all of us after that. We decided to go on with our life. Pero isang tao nalang ang hindi pa masyadong nakaka-move on.
At ito nga ang coping mechanism niya. ang panatilihin ang kaayusan ng itinuturing niyang tahanan, na kahit nagdala nang masasamang karanasan sa kanya ay hindi niya pa din maiwan-iwan. Kahit nga kami eh.
The Battleground and the wings painted on the wall.
The painting has a very high sentiment. Not just to her, or me. But for all the sober souls, who were there that night and know the sad tale of the broken angel fell to protect this place.
Ilang taon na nga ba ang nakalipas?
5 years?
I stare on the wall, and then remember how I used to stare at it for the past few years.
I smiled as memories started to flood my mind.
"Ang ganda... Pagnakikita mo yan, sino nasa isip mo?"
Napapikit ako.
Death.
She was the only thing I remember whenever I see that wings.
But I never thought I'd fell for the same persons of different individuals.
Weird, I know.
I opened my eyes when I heard her sigh.
"You really love her that much, eh?"
I gave her a side glance.
Yeah. I had liked the Death that dances in the Battleground before. I had fell in love with the Raven that pestered me a lot at school.
Iisang tao lang si Raven at si Death. Pero ang Raven na nakilala ko, ay hindi si Death. At ang Death na nakilala ko, ay hindi si Raven.
Raven is gone. And Death is back.
And I know, whenever Raven-or should I call her in her true name, Kim Miyoung-is right now, she's in a happy and peaceful place.
And I know she wished for her sister to be happy. And I wished it too.
"I had moved on, Raven... You should too."
I said.
Hindi siya umimik.
We just stared at the wings painted on the wall...
