PRETTY BOY.

Semi-Came back.

“ Have you ever fall in love Ate Ganda? “ – tanong sa akin ni Tomy.

Siya yung batang nakilala ko dito sa mini park ng resort. She’s a leukaemia patient. Anak siya ng isang bakasyonista dito. You know what, if you we’re in my shoes, you’ll really admire her. She’s pretty and she is very strong.

She said that she never loses hope because she has so many dreams in life that’s why she wants to achieve them all. Napakatapang na bata. Sabi niya, “ You know what ate, I wanna be like you someday. You’re really pretty! “ Tinanong ko siya kung bakit. Ang sagot niya “ I don’t know. I just see in your eyes the pain you felt right now but you kept on smiling like there’s nothing happening. “

I never thought that an innocent child like her would ever notice what my eyes say. Dahil dun, naaliw akong kausapin niya. Napakadaldal niya in the way na matutuwa sa kanya. Kung titignan mo siya, parang wala siyang sakit.

She dream of a beautiful real love story kaya’t naikwento ko sa kanya ang sarili kong lovestory.

“ Yes, I never regret that moment when I first fell in love. “ – sagot ko.

“ Are you still together? “

“ Nope. He fooled me ehh. “

“ Fooled you? Why? “

“ Long story. Hindi mo pa maiintindihan dahil bata ka pa. But, I’ve met a guy after him. “

“ Ayy, hindi naman siya yung first love mo eh! “

“ Yeahh, he’s not my first love but he’s the only man I love.. and maybe I’ll love..forever..”

“ You must really love him Ate. “

“ Yeah, I’ve did everything I know for him to be happy.. “

“ Does he love you back? “

“ At first. Hindi ko na alam ngayon. Madami na kasing nangyari.. I was college student when I first met him. You know what, he’s annoying. He’s our heartthrob back then. “

“ Siguro pogi yun! Pogi ba siya Ate Ganda? “

“ Ou. At first, hindi ko naman talaga siya gusto eh. Kaso yun na nga, love enters my quiet life. But you know what, sa kanya ko lang naramdaman kung ano talaga ang LOVE. At kung tuluyang mawala siya sa akin, hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang memories namin. He’ll be the best memory of my life. “

“ Ang cheesy! Haha, ako, paglaki ko.. papakasalan ko yung katulad ni Papa! Papa loves me so much and Mama too. He did everything just to sustain my medicine for me to be able to live a little longer. You know what Ate, Papa is the best man in the whole wide world. He had sacrificed everything for me. He loves me so much that he cries at night praying to God to give me more days of staying. “

Ayan na naman ako. Umiiyak na naman. Naalala ko tuloy si Daddy. I missed him na. I’ll be there soon Daddy. Swerte ng batang ito at hindi siya pinapabayaan ng mga magulang niya. Isasama ko din siya sa mga prayers ko. At sana baling araw, magkita pa rin kami.

“ Ate, why are you crying? “

“ I missed the best man in my life. “

“ Si Kuyang heartthrob? “

“ Hindi. Yung Daddy ko. “

“ Ah, he-he-he!”

“ Tomy! Andito ko lang pala, kanina kpa hinahanap ng Papa mo. “

Mukhang ang tumawag sa kanya ay ang Mommy niya.

“ Osigesige Bye Ate Ganda! Alis na ako. “

“ Osige-sige. “
