Taka ko siyang tinignan at nginitian niya lang ako, kinuha niya at hinawakan ang kamay ko at hinila papasok. Hindi ako nag iisip ng masama dahil hindi niya yon magagawa, tsaka ang lawak ng cementeryong to, at lahat ng nakalibing ay sa loob o ilalim ng lupa kaya makikita mo ang ibang taong dumadalaw sa puntod ng pamilya nila o kaibigan. Tinanong ko siya kung sino ang dadalawin niya dito, hindi siya sumagot kundi tumigil siya sa isang puntod na nag ngangalang

"A great brother and A friend"
"Your family loves you"
"Kailan man ay hindi ko nasabi sayo na may kapatid ako, siya ang pinaka malapit saking kalooban. Bestfriend na, kapatid ko pa"
Bumuntong hininga siya at tinignan ako.
"Bago tayo naging magkaibigan, siya lang ang tangi kong kaibigan. I am not noisy and friendly. But he teaches me how to be a great friend and as a person with a kind heart...
He teaches me how to live without him too"
I could see his teary eyes while he looks down at the grave of his brother, dang im starting to cry too..... Hindi ko alam.....I never knew any of this....
"He.... he knew that I will be the one to cry loud if the day comes where he will be gone from us and leave us forever "
He kneeled down to the ground and I did the same while Im comforting him by moving my hands back and forth at his back... I cried silently because I didnt know the pain he's been through, how hard it is to lose someone.
" one time, he told me that, siya ang laging gagabay at proprotekta sakin kailanman, at kahit daw na mawala siya sa mundo, bababa siya mula sa langit at yayakapin ako kapag.... may problema daw ako. He said he will always be with me"
Sa pagpatak ng luha niya sa puntod ng kapatid niya, ang kanyang mga kamay naman ay nilulukot ang mga damo sa lupa, nais niya yatang pigilan ang kanyang pag iyak. Hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay at tinignan niya ako. I nodded at him cueing him to start talking again
"At the hospital,where he is cofined for months, he is so happy, I don't know why! But it irritates me! I scolded him because his heart rate is slowing down and the machines are beeping fast. Then he giggled and told me that everything is okay that this isnt his time yet. I dont understand all he is saying to me! Thats why I asked him..... but he didnt answer and he smiled. I was so confused, whats happening to him? I know he was sick, but for how long?! As I questioned that to myself, I started to go out of the hospital room and started to walk away. Days passed and he isnt recovering at all because I could see it on his face. Too thin, pale lips and his hair is....falling everytime mom brushes it. I looked confused that time yet he laughed at me and told me again he is okay and NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!"
the last words he told me, he was shouting while crying a buck! And punching the ground just once. I hugged him for him to know Im here for him too
"And.......he started to tell me to never visit him again, that I should go to his room and find his phone and play a video stored there. And I did all he told me except for the video one. December 11, 2013, I freakin played the video. And one month ko na siyang hindi dinalaw, because I thought that time that maybe he is recovering if he does'nt see me, he does'nt want me to see his pain those days, ngayon ko lang na process lahat, na he wanted me not to see his pain or what he's suffering, until he died"
He wipes his tears and tried to ease himself, then he looked at me again trying to put a smile
"I watch the video and he explained to me everything. He said he loves me, and he will always be with me. He also told me that I should find a friend like him. Then I found you, thats why I took you here to meet him and for him to meet you personally, its been a year that I keeped on telling stories about you.... for him
.
.
to know you"
Halos isang balde na ata yung luha ko, pero napangiti ako sa part na dinala niya ako rito para makilala ako ng kapatid niya. I was wrong of thinking na he befriended me because I lose someone or im lonely, or he find me interesting. Because Sancho is a handsome guy that many girls dreamed to hang out with him but they just can't.
"S-sil. .*sniff* I-im sorry.... *sniff* I misjudged you all along thinking that *sniff* nevermind "
I hugged him tight! So tight so that he will feel warmth and comfort. I wanted to thank him so bad for every nonsense joke that he pulls for me, for staying with me and for being an awesome suitor, but I.....can't put the right words for it.... A minute passed and we both break up with the hugging and laughed while wiping our tears
''Ang pangit mong umiyak Sil''
Pabiro kong sabi sakanya,
''Ikaw naman, Maganda''
