Present

Flashback

Alyssa: sigurado ka bang ready ka nang makita siya?

Denden: handang handa na po.

Alyssa: (gave her an are-you-really-sure look)

Denden: Aly, it's been two years, ano ka ba. haha At promise ko to sakanya, na magdidate kami pag-uwi ko. that was her term, okay? makatingin ka naman

Alyssa: aware ka namang sila na ulit ni Jessey di ba?

Denden: yup yup, kasama si Jessey actually. okay na ako, okay na kami, okay ka ba tyan? :P

Alyssa: fit 'n right haha pero Den...

Denden: you worry too much, i will be okay promise (hinalikan si Alyssa sa cheek) have to go :)

Alyssa: okay okay, but i tell you, seeing her again would make you feel something AND that's totally normal. Don't let it get into you, okay? take care :)

*end*

Denden

That moment i saw her enter that door, there's some kind of a kick and a funny feeling inside my stomach and it felt like my heart literally stopped beating. Nung tinawag ko at lumingon sya, oh God, I can't help but smile. Seeing her smiling back and happy to see me, parang nawala lahat ng bad memories and all the good ones relived.

She hugged me and sinabing kinakabahan sya, well ganun din naman nararamdaman ko. And then she mentioned Jessey. *plook*

So this is what Alyssa's talking about. The feeling of seeing her again after a very long time of not seeing her. i mean seeing her in person, in front of me, alive, and vibrant.

Do you know that feeling, after ng mahabang panahon eh bigla mo na lang maririnig ulit yung sad song na paulit-ulit mong pinapakinggan nung times na lugmok ka? There's that familiar feeling, right? before you knew it, nostalgia's in the air. for a moment, mararamdaman mo ulit yung feeling mo nun, then you'll start feeling sad, a gentle kind of sad, a good kind of sad, actually. but after nung song, you feel fine again, and mapapangiti ka na lang.

You're fine because you've already recovered, you've already moved on. it's nothing now but a flashback of a memory of the feeling that used to matter.

And look at them, they look so goddamn happy. Finally. :)

Denden: oh ano na guys, kuwento naman dyan :)

Cienne: ah ganun ba, lumabas si Mika eh nakipagdate kay "Denden" tapos alam mo ba sinumbong ko kay Stick pero okay lang sakanya? ang labo di ba?
