Xander's POV

"how do you know If you are valued? It's when people do things for you, not because they have to but because they want to see you happy."

Alll my life I was happy with everything, happy with my family, my loving sister, that girl that taught me so much and my one and only bestfriend. All my life, she keeps my world revolving to that person I cherished the most. She always make ways to keep me happy. and all I can do is to thank her for everything. even a single bit, I didn't got the chance to show her how much I value and treasure her. She has been one of my strengths when I was so down, my smile when I was so sad, my mind, when it stops working from all the stress I've been through. And yet she didn't ask anything in return. Why do I have to be so stupid for not liking her even just for one time? Well.. I was given a chance, and I wasted it.I wasted it by ignoring her. I made her feel so desperate and that it was just nothing. I made her feel so worthless because she didn't got the chance to love me. How cruel can I be? when all I did was to love another person whom I really loved with all my heart. And knowing all the things behind my back were just another story.

Sa ilang taon kong tumira sa Europe, hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang naging dahilan ko kung bakit ako pumunta don.. My dad was a bit surprised to see me there. He was asking all the time but the word I can utter is "vacation". nagbabakasyon nga lang ba ko? o lumalayo sa mga problema ko? A problem I don't know how to solve. Paano ko nga ba sisimulan at paano ko tatapusin?Wala akong ginawa kundi isipin si Jen. Sa mga panahong yon, siya ang pinaka nasaktan. Pero paano ako? di ba nasaktan din naman ako? sa lahat naman ng tao, bakit si Jc pa? bakit siya pa ang loloko sakin? sobrang sakit pero I should forget the past. Ang dapat kong isipin ay ang pagbawi kay Jen. Siguro naman panahon na para ako naman ang magpasaya sa kanya. It's now or never...

"hey! san tayo pupunta?"

"basta sumama ka na lang sakin."

"eh san nga kasi! ayan ka na naman e."

"basta! surprise to. pasok na sa kotse dali!"

Sumama naman siya sakin. Sana, sana matuwa siya. I know this is not much but a little effort is enough to show her I care. Wala pa 'to sa lahat ng nagawa niya para sakin.

It's a long trip kaya naman nakatulog siya. I saw her asleep on the passenger's seat better not to wake her up. I just parked the car on the nearest view I can get. Maybe she was so tired. so tired of all the sad memories and burdens I caused her. I went outside to see what's happening downhill. It's about to start. Sana naman gumising na siya. ayokong ma-miss niya ang mga makikita niya.

"Xander! asan ka? waa!"

"Shhh! Wag ka nga sumigaw. Nandito lang ako. Lumabas ka kaya."

"Asan tayo? San mo ako dinala?"

"You'll see. Labas na."

Right on time. In any minute, they will be rising up from above..

"Xander! tignan mo oh! sky lanterns!"

"They are celebrating their 50th sky lantern parade. Marami ng mga naging activities and this is their last activity for the week. Eto yung pinaka highlight ng week nila kaya maraming tao sa baba. Ayoko ng makigulo sa kanila kaya dito na lang kita dinala. Maganda din naman yung view dito."

Nakita ko lang siya na nakangiti, masayang masaya sa mga nakikita niya. Ni hindi nga niya ko tinignan nung nagsasalita ako e. Imbis na panuorin ko yung mga lanterns e napatingin na lang ako sa kanya. The place was at peace. Pati rin siya, parang wala siyang tinatagong problema.
