Hanggang sa muli, mahal.

"PRIMA! WAKE UP! HOY!" napatalon ako sa hinihagan ko dahil sa ingay at pag alog sakin ni--

"sino ka ba?" tanong ko dito sa lalaking nasa harap ko. ang sakit ng ulo ko! Argh!

"luh siraulo! Kakambal mo ko ano ba! ayan! INOM PA! SAKET SA ULO NO" so i am not serendipity santiago--- FREAKING FUDGE! AKO SI PRIMA! PRIMA HIDALGO! SI PRIMO TONG NASA HARAP KO! HOLY SH--

"Serendipity ampotek HAHAHA! BALIW! Heart broken ka paren ba sa ex mong si fred? ha?! HAHAHAHA hay nako! Bangon na anjan na si papa! Baliw!!!!!!" so? Kaya ko pinatay ni fred sa panaginip kase nakipaghiwalay siya saken?! fudge.

Napabangon at napatingin ako sa salamin sa harapan ko. Yes. In my dream, i lived as serendipity santiago. I loved Rico James Meñiedes and i suffered a lot. Pero i'm really different from everything. Ako si Primaira Rose Hidalgo, the one and only daughter of bulacan's Governor. Wow. Sobrang lawak ng imagination ko haha.

Pagkababa ko nakita ko agad si mommy at daddy na nakikipag tawanan with kuya primo. Primo is actually my twin brother but he wants me to call him kuya. Ang arte. While my mom and dad? They are the worst. They always fight with each other. They fake their feelings. The fake everything! I hate them so much. They hate me too so i think it's a win win. I mean, my mom. She hates me.

"Hey Princess, goodmorning" i smiled at my dad and went to my chair. This is what i hate about mornings. Seating with my mom and seeing how mom and dad fakes eveyrthing in our eyes.

Pagtapos kumain, tumayo na ko at dumiretso sa kotse ko. Yep. I'm already 18. First year college this coming august, still choosing between Ateneo or harvard. My dad wants me to go with kuya primo in harvard. Ah basta ewan!

I drive myself to starbucks. When i noticed starbuck's store, i remembered serendipity.

She is so freaking strong. I admire her. Kahit pa wala siya dito sa totoong mundo. Kikilalanin ko siya bilang isang matapang na babae. Imagine living like her? It will be one of a hell world.

---
It's been what? Two months after i had that strange dream. Ever since maalala ko yon, iniisip ko nalang na napanaginipan ko yon for a reason. And that reason is for me to give worth of everything i have, na lahat ng nawawala ay may dahilan, lahat ng nawawala may papalit na mas best at lahat ng nawawala ay may sakit na dulot sayo. Riding through her soul was the best thing. I get to know someone out of the world. Plus the fact that i finally found my worth.

I will admit it. I never know my worth. Kaya kung ano ano ang ginagawa ko sa buhay ko, pero lalo akong naging worthless noong pinabayaan lang ako ng nga magulang ko. Ang akala nila, maggo-grow ako kung sakali mang pababayaan nila akong magisa. But i made sure that they will regret giving me freedom.

She was one hella good experience. Naranasan kong mahalin. Naranasan kong magmahal at naranasan kong umiyak ng umiyak. pero what is serendipity and rico's ending? Naging masaya ba sila? Are they living happily with their children? Or they are having a hard time? Kahit pala panaginip yon, nakakamiss din. Nakakamiss yung ka kulitan ni smeraldo, kasungitan ni rico, kagandahan ni rica at ang malalalim na thoughts ni serendipity. If i will be given a chance to choose between 'going back to that dream or staying here in the real world' i would probably choose to go back to my dream and finish it.

"Ma'am? Name??" the barista asked me

"Serendipity. My name is serendipity." i smiled and moved at the receiving side.

"bro! What's the name of that girl! She's kinda cuteeeee! Wait. Why is she familiar to me??"

"Her name is serendipity. Yeah yeah i know right she's kinda familliar too. Maybe we met her at the university?" huh. Napatingin ako sa naguusap na staff ng starbucks. wAIT! - - isn't smeraldo and rico? They freaking look like the same in my dreams. Holy crap.

"americano for Serendipity!" kinuha ko yung inorder ko at lumabas na ng store.

Yes. Ginagamit ko ang pangalan ni serendipity, cause i'm slowly forgetting that dream. Every day nagsusulat ako sa journal ko. Inuulit ulit ko kung ano yung napanaginipan ko. I can't forget them. No way. Never! They were the best thing that has happened to me at kahit isang parte ng memorya na yon ay di ko hahayaang mawala. Every piece of that dream is art.

In this world i'm living as Prima Hidalgo but deep inside my soul i want to be Serendipity Santiago.

Pagkatapos ng lahat. Feeling ko may kulang. May kulang sa pagkatao ko. Hindi sapat sakin na malaman ko lang na nagkitang muli si serendipity at rico. I want more. Pero hindi na pwede, never ko na ulit napanaginipan sila serendipity. They are just, and they will always be a dream that can't come to reality.

"Prima. Fix your things, dadating na ang driver" dad said. Pumunta na ko closet ko para kuhanin yung kahon na dadalin ko sa pagalis ko. I have decided to spend my college life here in the Philippines, sa ateneo. Bago ko dalin ang mga kahon sa baba sinigurado ko muna na kompleto ang mga gamit na nakalagay sa kahon. Pero laking gulat ko ng makakita ako ng isang sulat. Sulat mula sa PANAGINIP KO?!

Serendipity,
Hey love. How are you? Sabi mo sakin wag ako magpadala ng letter sayo dahil baka mapilitan kang bumalik diba? Pero mahal naman. Why did you leave me again? Pede mo naman akong iwan pero hindi permanente. pano si chase? Pano si chia? May dalawa kayong anghel na iniwan dito pero bat ako iniwan ng anghel ko?

Yes. You gave us angels. But you left me. Pano namin papalakihin si chase at chai? I'm sorry. Masyado na ata akong nagagalit. Pero lord. Please. Guide my love in there.

Lagi kong babantayan si chase at chai para sayo, pati narin si smeraldo. Solid kayong magkaibigan eh, hanggang kamatayan walang iwanan. Si smeraldo ngiti lang ng ngiti, pero alam ko, gabi gabi parin siyang umiiyak. Si chase? Nagsisimula ng magsalita, di mo alam kung pano ako napaiyak noong sinabi nya yung salitang "maaa-ma" eto namang si chai, sobrang tahimik. Kinakabahan nga kami ni smeraldo baka pipi eh, pero hindi. Wag kayong magaalala.

Love i'm ending my letter here. Don't worry, susulatan kita! Araw araw! At sa oras na mapagod na ang kamay ko, sa oras na tinigilan ko na ang pagbibigay ng sulat, lagi mong tatandaan na ang pagmamahal ko sayo'y walang katapusan. Hanggang sa muli, mahal

Je' taime sese

Your love

Napahagulgol ako sa nabasa ko. Hindi ko alam! Hindi ko alam na ganito ang kinahinatnan nila. They proved me wrong, that not every love has a happy ending. To the two girls. Woah. I never knew, na sila pa ang mamamaalam. They were the strongest, but the weakest when it comes to their loves.

To girl who faught with her self, to the girl who proved everybody na hindi lahat ng maganda, maganda lang, siya yung magandang kayang magpinta at kayang maging mabait. You will always be the one, the one whom i want to paint my future, and the one who will make me pretty. Till we dream again, Riciana.

To the girl who is strongest among eveybody else. To the girl who proved that even destiny, don't have the rights to ruin god's plan for you. And to the girl who stood up for herself when no one else did. Guess what her name is. Her name is Serendipity.

Always remember that you are loved! I love you 💙
