IV of Spades One Shots

U N I Q U E

Natutuwa ako, dahil nga gagraduate na tayong dalawa. But unluckily, you aren't here. You're not gonna attend the Graduation. 'Di yan hadlang sa'kin para gumraduate kaya the event still goes on. I was just really devastated, dahil ikaw yung inspirasyon ko sa lahat ng ginagawa ko. Maging sa pag aaral ko, pag gawa ko ng mga kanta at iba pa. Alam mo, ikaw lang ang laging laman ng isip ko.

I remembered those times na you encouraged me to study again dahil nga huminto ako sa pag aaral, wala na rin akong magawa kundi to go with the flow. Nag aral ako, at ikaw rin. The same school and year but different strand. It was hard for the both us.

Nagsumikap ako pati na rin ikaw, studies yung first priority natin. Fortunately, nakaya natin. We stayed strong and because of that, our bond was stronger. You're really the best. Kasi girlfriend na nga kita, naging tutor pa kita. Kahit na iba yung strand natin you really worked hard para maiintindihan ko yung mga lessons na 'di ko naintindihan.

Our goal was to graduate at magkaroon ng honors. Yes, we had achieved it. Pero di ka makaakyat sa stage.

"Unique T. Salonga." Ayan, tinatawag na ako. Agad akong umakyat kasama si Papa sa entablado. It was really worth the efforts. Kung nandito ka lang talaga mas matutuwa pa ako, because you're part of these achievements that I've got today.

"Stay strong, Nikoi." A teacher said as he handed me 2 diplomas and 2 medals as he pats my shoulders and offers me and my Father a handshake. I gladly accept it as I flashed a smile. "I guess I have to."

I was on my seat as I look at our diplomas. Binigay na lang nila yung diploma at medal mo sa'kin dahil di ka makakapunta. I first looked at mine, mukha ko? Ayun gwapo padin. I slightly chuckled on my own thoughts.

After that tinignan ko yung sa'yo. It showed your full name and your picture. Ang ganda mo talaga
sa kahit anong angulo. I smile as I caressed your picture with my thumb.
"Wish you were here." I whispered.

Wala ka sa graduation dahil nandito ka. I entered the small room with my Parents, and there I saw people of around 10 who I guess were close to you. Nakita ko ang magulang mo at nag mano. They congratulated me, I thank them. Kahit masakit sa loob ko, I still went near you and placed your diploma and medal at the top of your casket.

Pinagmasdan kita. Para ka lang natutulog, (y/n). You've been diagnosed with Leukemia at di mo na nakayanan lumaban at sumakabilang buhay na. The most painful part was di mo sinabi sa'kin. Her parents explained na akala mo na gumaling ka na, but in fact lumala raw ito. The machine beeped indicating that you have no pulse. I was there at your death bed, you were so pale and your eyes were slightly open, I kept staring at them hoping that it might open all the way and everything will be finally okay.

But no, I just held your hand tight and there was no hope on bringing you back to life. After that night, I couldn't help myself but cry, parang sirang plaka na pumapasok sa isip ko na wala na ang pinakamamahal ko sa buhay, lutang na lutang na ako, I kept hallucinating na nandito ka sa tabi ko, di ko pa rin tanggap na wala ka na.

I let out all of my tears that I've been holding earlier while I look at your face that is peacefully sleeping. I cried my heart out. I didn't bother to wipe my tears because it just flows again. At that moment I could really write a novel about everything you meant to me. Marami pa dapat akong sasabihin sa'yo, I wanted to compliment you more, to spend more time with you, to love you, to cherish you. Pero kinuha ka na agad. Kung pwede nga lang ibubuhay kita, kanina ko pa ginawa 'yon, pero wala eh. Wala na akong magagawa.

Di ko na kinaya ang tumayo as I kneeled and still my hand was on your casket. All I can do right now is sob. Sumisikip na yung dibdib ko. I found it hard to breath- Napansin iyon ng papa mo at tinulungan at inalalayan niya ako na tumayo at pinaupo na rin niya ako sa isang upuan. Your father was beside me. He gently pats my back, he was comforting me.

Ba't ka ba kinuha ng Diyos? Let's look at the other side, God maybe has a plan
for the both of us. I guess you're happy up there. "Graduate na tayo, (y/n). I love you." Sabi ko na parang nag usap lang tayo. My voice was quavering, I did my best to be strong but honestly, I'm weak right now.

It's really crazy how someone who used to be a huge part of your life can be gone in a second. But death ends a life and not love and because of that I'll love you always and forever.

I will surely miss you, (y/n).
