"Kaye, please. Don't leave us. Keep your promise."
"Im so sorry Karen. Pero hindi ko na kaya."
"Shhh. Shhh. Dont say that. Gagaling ka. Aantayin lang natin yung doctor. Tapos, tapos gagamutin ka nya, ha?"
"No. I know that this going to be the end of my journey. I can feel it."
"No Kaye. No."
"Just promise me one thing Karen. Be happy. Live your life. Gawin mo yun para sakin. Gawin mo yun para hindi ako malungkot"
God, how can she smile while saying those things.
"And another thing, please take care of my Chanyeolie. I want both of you to be happy."
I want both of you to be happy
Hindi ko alam kung anong ibig niyang sabihin. All I know is yan yung pinaka huling sinabi niya. After that, she died.
That happened almost 5 months ago.
Kaye is my twin. Siya na rin yung kaisa-isa kong bestfriend. Sya na rin yung tumayong mommy ko.
Kaya napakahirap tanggapin na wala na siya.
Kahit 5 months na, namimiss ko pa rin siya.
Kapag tumitingin ako sa salamin, I can see her. Siya at hindi ako. Oo identical kami. Pero alam kong si Kaye yun. I can feel it.
Wala na kong kasa-kasama. Tulad ngayon.
Mag-isa ako. Sa favorite spot naming kambal.
"Oh hi there Karen. What a coincidence."
I look at the man standing a few inches away from me. He was smiling but then hindi yun abot hanggang mata.
"Hello Kuya. Kumusta na?"
Umupo siya sa tabi ko. "Eto, nagtatampo. Nagtatampo ako sa kambal mo. I was about to ask her to settle. But she leave me. She left."
"Kuya Chanyeol, hindi ginusto ni Kaye na mamatay. Kahit ako. Ayoko siyang mawala. But we don't want to see her suffering. Aren't we? "
"Yes, I know. Its just that....." tears fall from his eyes. " ... Its so unfair. Bakit si Kaye pa? Bakit? Maraming namang tao sa mundo? Mga masasamang tao. Pero bakit siya pa?"
I can also feel the pain. Kaya napaiyak na din ako.
"I know Kaye is also crying."
"Huh?"
"Before Kaye lost her breath. She said that she wants us to be happy. Kase kung hindi, malulungkot siya"
Pinunasan ko yung mga luha ko, then tiningnan ko siya. Kaye is so lucky to had this guy. They were a perfect couple. Before.
"Kuya, I know how it feels. It is not just easy to forget Kaye. But you should try harder. We must. Yun na lang yung tanging magagawa natin para sa kanya."
"You're right Karen. Malulungkot si Kaye kapag nakita niya tayong umiiyak."
Tumayo na si Kuya Chanyeol tapos tinuyo niya yung mga mata niya.
"By the way, thank you Karen. No doubt magkakambal nga kayo. Both of you know how to comfort people. Kahit na you feel the same way." He smiles.
Yung mga ngiti niya, mas kapani-paniwala na kesa kanina.
"Tara, kain tayo. Eating is the best medicine." Chuckles.
I want both of you to be happy.
