Alyssa
After 1 year and 6 months
January 20, 2***

The day is today.  I'm so excited to see her again, after 1 year and a half ay magkikita na kami ulit.

"I will miss you Valdez"
Kim said and hugged me.

"Ikaw din. Mamimiss kita. Stay strong sa inyo ni Mela"
I said while smiling from ear to ear.

"Yeah thanks. Umaasa ako na pagnagkita tayo ulit, sana kasal na kayo ni Den"

"Woah! Pero sige ba.  Uhmm. Ingat ka dito. I have to go. See you when I see you again. Good bye!"
Masayang paalam ko dito nakita ko naman ang pagpatak ng luha nito.

"Yuck Kim! Umiiyak ka? Magkikita pa tayo!"
Panunukso ko dito.

"Uto! Basta hah? Magkikita pa tayo sabi mo yan!"
Sabi nito sabay suntok sa braso ko.

"Oo nga. Sige bye for now"
Huling paalam ko dito bago pumasok sa airport.

Good bye for now my friend.

3rd Person PoV

Abala ang lahat sa paghahanda para sa birthday ni Dennise pero ang dalaga ay walang imik habang nakatingin lang sa bintana ng kaniyang kwarto.

"Besh.. Malungkot ka na naman"
Napalingon naman si Den sa may pinto ng kaniyang kuwarto at nakita niya si Ella na nakatayo mula doon.

"Babalik pa kaya siya besh? Its been a year since she left. I really miss her."
Dennise said while biting his lower lip to keep her tears not to fall from her eyes.

Lumapit naman si Ella at umupo sa kama ni Den.

"Are you afraid?"
Ella sincerely asked.

"Afraid ? Saan naman?"

"Afraid of fake promises "

"Maybe I am."
Dennise said and handed Ella a piece of paper.

There's a poem written on the paper.

Ella silently read it.

Title: Promises

Like a story that has no beginning
A life that started with nothing
Just like a maze full of surprises
A world of fraud promises

Words aren't just void and null
Phrases that caused a sudden fall
Eventually here comes the right time
A time you'll forget to be fine

As fragile as a glass it is
That moment you'll only murmur 'please'
When those people leave
A deep sigh you'll surely heave

No matter how hard I try
I can't help but to cry
Letting those tears be visible
Once again being vincible

The words they used to say
Those seemed to be an act or play
A foolish I am to believe
Those promises they always give...

After Ella read that tumingin siya kay Dennise na nakatingin lang sa bintana.

Hinwakan naman nito ang balikat niya.

"Just don't be afraid, besh. Be happy for now. Everything happens for a reason"
Ella said before leaving Dennise alone.

Pagsarado ng pinto ay hindi na napigilan ni Dennise ang lumuha.

"Don't leave me Alyssa...please don't."
She said between her sobs.

January 21, 2***
Den's birthday.

Kanina pa gising si Dennise pero para wala siyang ganang bumangon, feeling niya ay walang saya ang magiging kaarawan niya dahil wala si Alyssa.

It supposed to be her First Birthday celebration with Alyssa.
