"Kumusta?..."
Matipid ang mga ngiti sa kanyang labi.
"...ang tagal nating hindi nagkita, kumusta ka na?"
Hindi ko alam kung pano sasagot sa tanong niya.
Halos tatlong taon kaming hindi nagkita at walang balita sa isa't isa. Gusto ko man siyang kausapin at kumustahin sa mga panahong iyon. I just can't bare myself to look her in the eyes and ask.
"I.. I'm ..Fine.."
She smiled a little bit, for a moment, I started to reminisce and to miss the old times.
"Good to hear... It's nice seeing you again, Kyle."
"Yeah... You too, Faye."
I wish I could fake a smile as I say those words pero hindi ko magawa dahil alam kong malalaman niyang pinipeke ko lang yun. That is how well she know me and It had always been and will always will be my greatest regret not having the time to know her better.
"Well..I have to go. I'm sure hinahanap na nila ko by now...See you in the weeding..."
She smiled faintly as she walks away and leave. I want to reach for her hand and stop her from leaving again but... to my stupidity and cowardice, hindi ko ginawa. Natatakot akong maulit na naman ang nagdaan. Hindi ko na ata kakayanin pa kung mauulit uli yun.
Hindi ko na alam kung anong gagawin ko kung mawawala na naman siya.
.....My summer sky.
