CHAPTER 1.5
What's Inside?
To my loud and mean and harsh and talkative best buddy, Craiz,
P.S.? PS.? PS...? I don't know how will I spell it but when I called Kuya Kairo last last last night and asked his suggestions on how will I bid my farewell, sabi niya write a letter. He asked me kung alin ang gusto ko daw, romantic? cheesy? corny? Like hello, pang-girlfriend-boyfriend type of letters 'yun eh hindi naman kita shota.
You don't know what's shota 'no? Hahaha weak! That's a new word I learned from Kuya. He said it's a synonym for girlfriend. Ay girl friend pala kita. But of course with a space. Asa ka namang magiging shota kita, we're too young and my ears are too fragile for your loud mouth.
Anyway, hindi ko alam kung ano yung spelling ng pee-es na sinasabi ni Kuya ko sa call. I don't know where to put the dot so bare with me, Craiz bubwit. Hahaha (^_^)
PEE-ES. I'm not really into this kind of stuffs so kapag nagkita tayong muli, make sure to never mention this thing in front of me.
You know, bukas ng madaling araw hindi mo na ako makakalaro at makikita. I'm going to Kuya's place sa Maynila. Sabi ni Mama ko, I'm going to study there with Kuya Kairo. Sabi ko rin, ayokong iwan ka. Wala ka nang kalaro kapag wala ako rito. Andyan sina Eliam, Lupeng, and Bougi but I don't trust Eliam. Nananantsing yun diba? Bad siya kaya layuan mo siya.
As what I've told you, wala ako sa tabi mo sa mga susunod na araw, the next months, and in the next years. I'll finish siguro my elementary tapos I don't know kung hanggang high school rin. May work na kasi doon si Papa ko kaya baka matagalan akong bumalik dito. Surely, we will meet after many years. Believe me, babalikan kita dito kaya 'wag kang iiyak.
Today's mini party was made for our departure. Despedida yata nina Tita Chaia para kina Mama. Yung clip? Nakita mo ba? Ang mahal n'un kaya don't lose it. If possible, wag mo ring ipahiram dahil sayo lang 'yun. I saved 200 pesos to buy that clip kaya subukan mong iwala at uuwian talaga kita dito at aawayin.
Ibibigay ko sana yan kanina sayo, personally pero mas pinili mo pa kasi sina Eliam than me. Wait, don't think that I'm being jealous over them! My Kuya said that being jealous only apply when you felt something special with someone. Wala naman akong dapat pagselosan 'as a friend' sa kanila kasi mas bestfriend mo ako.
Ayaw ko sanang gumawa ng letter para sayo dahil pangit ang handwriting ko pero dahil you chose them na over me, I forced myself to write this. I don't care about my ugly and dirty handwriting, mas pangit naman yung sayo.
Tell Tito Syrel, I'm sorry. Naubos ko pa ang ink ng G-Tech niya. Tell him rin na bibilhan ko na lang siya ng bago kapag nakabalik ako dito at kapag may work na. Naubos kasi yung ipon ko sa ipit mo kaya wala pa akong pera.
Wag ka nang iyakin ha! Wag ka na ding maldita, Craiz. Sa akin ka lang magmaldita. Once I got back here and saw that this letter with traces of tears, sipon, or even uhog (yuck!), I will ignore you forever and ever!
Someday, magkikita tayo. I'll be back here at Galantes and you'll be shocked that I've finally turn into a grown up guy! Kapag makita mo ako, you'll look at me with awe and praise me for I am no longer your bibo at matangkad na kaibigan. I will have the built of a knight-in-shining-armor and the irresistable charm of a prince charming.
Well, that's what Kuya told me to tell you. And I'm super excited for that.
Promise, I'll be back.
I'll miss you.
Your most
understanding
best friend :P,
- ZJ :P
