Ilan taon na nga muli sabi ni mama?
4 na taon napala nang huling nakatapak ako sa pilipinas. My home, our home.
"Basta wag kang lalayo sa area nato ah? Para pag bumalik ako mag babayad nalang ako. And take care of your brother cyan. Kung may gusto kayang bilhin ilagay nyo nalang sa cart. Okay?" Mom said for the third time.
"Mom I'm 18, alam ko na po." At tumawa pa ako.
"Okay okay. I'll be back baby." And then mom took off.
"Cholate! Cholate!" My brother said. Natawa ako. Inaabot kase nito ang chocolate. I was about to hold it when my attention landed to another brand of chocolate.
It was so familiar yet I just saw it. I was about to grab it when another hand grab it.
"Oh I---," She didn't finish her words when I looked At her.
"A-ate Cyan?" She was shocked. I hesitantly smiled at her.
"Umm. I'm sorry? Do I know you? Pasensya kana. I have temporary amnesia."
Maslalo itong nagulat.
"I'm Jasmine. You don't remember?"
I shook my head.
"Can you tell me kung ano ka sa buhay ko?" Umm it was a ridiculous question.
She was about to speak when her phone rang.
"Hello? Oh kuya! Oo na! Tss Oo na sabi eh! Oo ayan na ang kulit! Bye! Bastos talaga hmp."
"I'm sorry I have to go, Ate Cyan marami sana akong gustong itanong. But It's not the place for me. I'm really sorry." Then she left.
I was left puzzle. Until My brother pulled the strands of my hair while pointing the chocolate. Napatawa nalang ako.
My mom paid for our grocery. We headed back home, kung saan kami nakatira noon.
I opoened my room. It was pink and white. Napangiti ako. My room was all girly and cute. Inilibot ko pa ang tingin ko rito. I open the drawers.
May mga balat ng candy at mga gusot na papel. Napatawa ako. Ganto ba ko nung 15 lang ako? Basta nalang? Hahaha. I suddenly want to laugh.
I was about to close the drawer when I noticed something. It was a half picture.
Nandun ako at may katabing lalaki pero hati lang ang mukha nito. The only thing I saw is his half face. He's arms wrap around my shoulders. It was a sweet picture but I couldn't see who he is. It was still a puzzle.
I tried to find another picture but I only found letters. I slowly open it.
--
Hey J! I miss you! I badly want to go there. Mom and Dad is still busy unpacking our things here. Your in manila, I'm here. Though manila isn't that far but still I miss you.
Love,
Cyan.
---
J? Whose J? I read another letter.
---
J,
Hey, I really want to send all this letters to you but it'll be awkward and surely you'll just laugh at me. I really love you. Sana wala kang ibang nagugustuhan dyan sa school ha? Hmp. Nako J! Basta miss na kita. I want to see you sooooo bad! I love you!
Love,
Cyan ♕

I was about to read another letter when someone knock at my door.
"Come in!"
"Sweetie? Are you okay there?" Mom asked while sitting beside me.
I nodded the look at the letter I was reading.
"Mom? Do you know whose J? Iyon ang nakalagay sa mga letter na to." I asked.
Mom quickly took peak at the letters.
"All I know is someone name Jace? I don't know baby. When you were 15 you told us you had a crush then after that you said kayo na after umm 4 months? Pero hindi mo napakilala samin because when you were about to show him to us nangyari ung accidente nyo." Mom said.
"Nasan na kaya sya ma? Baka may alam sya?"
"I don't know baby. I haven't seen him. At isa pa nang ma coma ka agad ka naming dinala sa Canada." Mom said.
Natahimik lamang ako habang nakatingin sa papel na hawak ko.
"Oh! By the way Cyan, I already enrolled you sa isang school. I think it's called J-High University." Mom told me wearing a huge smile.
Nagulat naman ako. Agad agad? I mean biglaan kararating lang namin dito right?
"Wag kang mag taka, nag patulong ako dun sa bestfriend ko, inasikaso nya habang pauwi palang tayo."
"O-okay mom. Thanks." Nakangiti kong saad.
Pero ang totoo niyan ay kinakabahan talaga ako. Supposed to be ay 3rd year collage na ako, pero dahil sa 3 taon akong nacoma ay hndi ko naipagpatuloy ang aking pagaaral.
KINABUKASAN, nagulat ako nang malakas na yugyugin ako ni mama para lang magising.
Inaantok man ay bumangon ako.
5:48 am?!
"Bago ka mag reklamo maligo kana handa na almusal mo, ung uniform mo nasa closet. Go now! Baka malate ka. Naka 1st week na nang pasok, bawal absent!"
Bago pa ko makapag reklamo. Nakita ko nalang ang sarili ko na kaharap ang Paaralang papasukan ko.
Ugh. Mom!
