Why is it that everyone is afraid to die, when it is an inevitable part of our lives?
If you really wish to die, are you up to fulfill your death wish?
From: Savior I'm home. Thanks for the dinner. Good night and have a sweet dreams, please.
I bit my lower lip, while reading his text message over and over again, like a teenager being crazy in love.
To: Savior Thank you rin! Goodnight.
Bahagya namang nawala ang ngiti sa aking labi nang maisip kong wala nga pala akong pasok kinabukasan, pagkatapos kong maipadala ang mensahe kay Savior. Hindi ko naman alam kung wala ring klase si Savior. I think we had the same schedule, or maybe, just almost the same.
Kinuha ko naman ang aking bag upang mailabas ang Death Wish notebook. Baka sakaling ang susunod na task ay maaaring siya pa rin ang aking makasama para maisagawa. Pero bago iyon ay pinirmahan ko muna ang pang-apat na task na aking natapos.
My smile slightly faded when I saw the fifth task since it won't be anything related to him.
Death Wish Task #5:
Take your little brother out on a date.

Hindi naman sa ayaw kong makasama ang kapatid ko pero umasa lang ako kahit papaano. Well, maybe it's time to make my brother happy. Matagal-tagal na magmula noong pumunta kaming dalawa sa mall. Sinamahan ko pa siya noon na manood ng movie sa sinehan.
Sinarado ko naman ang Death Wish notebook bago tumayo at lumabas ng aking kwarto upang puntahan ang aking kapatid.
I found Tyrone playing with his iPad. It's my Mom ang Dad's gift for him last Christmas, while they got me a money to be added on my savings. Dad got my Mom a pretty dress that she really wanted to buy, and Mom gave my Dad a wrist watch.
It was all before the vows of my parents broke like it was some kind of a simple promise that was made to be broken. Hindi ko inakalang ang masaya, tahimik at simpleng pamilya na mayroon ako ay magiging magulo na dahilan kung bakit ito gumuho. Sa totoo lang ay maswerte pa ako dahil naranasan kong lumaki hanggang sa maging responsable na ako na nandiyan si Daddy sa aking tabi, pero ang kapatid ko ay mukhang hindi na napagbigyan ng pagkakataon. Sana kapalit ng pagkawala ko sa mundong 'to ay ang pagbalik ni Daddy sa buhay nina Mommy at Tyrone.
"Ate?"
I snapped back from reality as Tyrone called for my attention. I looked at him who had a curious look on his face.
Lumapit naman ako sa kanya at saka umupo sa kama. Ibinaba niya naman ang kanyang iPad upang ituon ang buong atensyon niya sa akin.
"Wala akong klase bukas kaya susunduin kita bukas sa school tapos naisip ko, pumunta tayo ng mall. 'Di ba matagal na mula nang magmall tayo ni Ate?" malambing kong pagkausap sa kanya.
Sumilay naman ang ngiti sa kanyang at saka tumango-tango. "Pupunta tayong mall, Ate?" nagagalak niyang tanong sa akin.
I smiled and nodded at him. He cheered and recited the things that he wanted to do with me at the mall. I tried to take note everything that he told me on my mind. If we can, we will do everything that he wanted to do, since this might be the last time that I'd be taking him out with me.
