L.A.

Nandito ako ngayon sa gilid ng chapel habang nakatingin sa malaking picture ni Rein.She was smiling.It's Day 2 of Rein's funeral.Sa isang sulok ng chapel kami nakaupo me,and our childhood barkada.Gherylhyne trying to keep strong so other will be strong also.Mhac have his eyes swollen by crying nonstop for 1 night.Soren is helping Clone giving some sandwiches and drinks.Ion is making Aubrey stop crying.Ashly's hugging Joanne.Reylane looking at Rein's coffin every minute.Red and Luke are always going somewhere and go back having Rein's favorite flower.Jeydie is crying silently.While Rein's other schoolmates and friends are trying to stop sobbing but can't.

Rein's parents planning what will they do next.

And from afar I saw Brein crying.Taking pictures of Rein's funeral.

I go out to approach him.

He remain standing there.

"You're not going inside?"

Umiling siya.

"Rein is waiting for you"

My voice broke upon saying my cousin's name.

"Look at her before it's too late."

Sumunod siya sa akin.

Everyone is looking at him.

With hatred...

With sympathy..

But Brein remain silent and quietly look at Rein's cold body.

Naririnig ko ang hagulgol niya sa apat na sulok ng chapel.

Humihingi ng tawad.

Too bad Rein will not reply at him any more.

Pagkatapos niya ay nagpasalamat siya for letting him in.

"It's okay,you deserve it."

Night came really fast.

Regie also visit.

And many more.

And here I am trying to look natural despite of my amazement.

Rein is too kind to get a lot of friends.
And I am proud.
