I remember when I was on my way back to the city of Davao, when my phone suddenly rang.
I grab it inside my sling bag to know who was my caller. My heart jumped in happiness when I saw my Bestfriends name on the screen.
I answered the call wearing my jolly tone, "Yeoboseyo.."
He answered me, "Yeoboseyo, yeoboseyo ka jan! Paalis na kami.."
I can sense his irritated look hearing my first greeting on answering him.
A smile drawn on my face, "Tss.. Opo.. Saan pala punta niyo best?"
I asked him. You know, my mood was slightly going down. The tears start rolling my face. I cant hold it back anymore.
He started mocking me, "Umiiyak kaba? Hala!? Umiiyak nga siya.. Haha
"
Ow men! How I miss that laugh.
"Hindi ah.. haha" I wiped my tears, "Saan nga kayo pupunta?" I asked him again.
He laughed harder, "O.A ka best.. lilipat lang kami sa Mabini.. haha"
This guy is really crazy!
"Eh kasi nung nag paalam ka nung isang araw kala mo pupunta kang ibang bansa! Binigyan mo pa ako ng keychain na gitara.. tapos Mabini ka lang pala?! PANGIT NETO!" He's really getting into my nerves,.
"Pikon? haha" Yes, Im already pissed!
"Hindi! Sige na! Bye na!" I said to him.
"Best, mamimiss kita. Layo mo na! Ilang araw ka jan sa davao?" he asked.
He seems really curious huh!?
"Bakit? Hingi ka pasalubong?"
I chuckled softly.
"A-ahh...?? ... W-wag n... Libre mo nalang ako pagbalik mo dito.."
Wow. Miracle's do really happen. This is the first time he refused to me.
Now, its my turn to tease him.
"Yoko.. Sige bye na! haha" I laughed.
I heard him laughed too..
"O, sige na.. Bye na Best.. "
The last word I heard from him on that call after he hanged up.
After a long ride, I got my way home. My home in Davao. I stayed there for almost a month, bonding with my friends, my father whom I really miss.. and most of all, learning some new languages, Learning korean culture, eating on a korean restaurant. Oh! Im glad to be back there. But, I think every moment has an end.
So, back to the Cotabato again. How boring! Ahh.. Why not visiting him?
I fixed myself and walked out at the house. When I was standing at the front of their door. I cant hear anything but silence. Hmm? How new...
And then I saw their main door locked so I assumed that their out for some trip.
After that, I decided to go at the nearest Internet Cafe. I payed one slot for an hour. I scan some new songs and ofcourse, open my facebook account. I was in the state of shocked when I saw my bestfriend's location.
He was in Luzon, Taguig to be specific.
Now, all our conversations last month was clear to me, He's trying to say his goodbye.
I was angry that time and log off my account. I went home without finishing my whole time.
I cried for half an hour, until my eyes are ready to be in a deep slumber.
I thought, the hardest moment in your life is to experience an "GOODBYE SCENES"... but I am totally wrong.. Very very wrong..
because for me? the hardest thing you can experience in your Life is when you didn't say your "Goodbye".
