" Deej, alam mo naman na mahal kita diba?" sabi ni ChaChee ang girlfriend ko, nandito kasi kamii sa infinitree namin

" Hmm?" tanong ko sakanya sabay open nang isa kong mata

" Deej naman eh. Umayos ka kasi!" niyugyug niya ako

" Ang ayos ko na kaya."  sabi ko tas pinikit yung dalawa kong mata

" Deej, alam mo ba na mahal na mahal kita?" tanong niya sabay haplos nang mukha ko

" Alam na Alam. Ikaw, alam mo ba na mahal na mahal kita?" tanong ko sakanya tas hinawakan yung kamay niya

" Yeap. I Love You, Deej"  sabi niya sabay hug saken

" I Love you too, ChaChee" syempre, patalo ba naman ako? Hinug ko din siya

" Sure ka?" paninigurado niya

" Alangan. MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA CHACHEE KO!!" sinigaw ko na talaga tas pinahiga siya

" I Love you too, Deej ko" sabi niya then she looked up to me ( See the multimedia :) )

MAHAL NA MAHAL KO SI DEEJ, BESTFRIEND KO SIYA NA NAGING BOYFRIEND KO. Pero, kailangan ko siyang iwan. Kailangan kong pumunta sa States para dun na mag-aral. Wala na akong magagawa. Decision yun ng parents ko eh, kailangan sundin. PARENTS KNOWS BEST.

Tumunog phone ko.

Nagmadali na akong maligo at magbihis

Naglakad na ako patungo sa infinitree namin, to my surprise andun na siya

" Deej, Mahal na Mahal kita" she ran towards me, with tears in her eyes

" ChaChee, bat ka ba umiiyak? Mahal naman kita eh" sabi ko as I hugged her

" I have to tell you something. Please don't be mad" sabi niya tas she buried her face in my chest

" Depende" sabi ko sabay haplos sa buhok niya

" Deej, I have to migrate. I have to move. I have to go to New Orleans to finish my studies. I don't know for how long. All I know is, It's going to be a long time." sabi niya then she held my hand

Na-frozen ako. Nagsi-sink in pa sa utak ko ang sinabi niya.

Buffering pa utak ko

10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%

 FAILED! TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

" What? Why? Sabi mo mahal mo ako. Ba't mo ako iiwan?" then I dropped her hand

"Deej, MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA. Kailangan eh. Dun gusto nila Mommy. " sabi niya then she tried to hold my hand again

" Kath, tayo pa rin naman diba? Ako parin naman love mo diba?" then I held her in my arms again

" Love na Love kita, Deej" surprisingly, she hugged me back

" Love na Love din kita, ChaChee. Tawag ka palagi sakin ha? " I let her face me, then I wiped her tears

" OO naman. IKAW LANG NAMAN LOVE KO EH" sabi niya then she held my face " Deej, Promise me something?" 

" Anything for my, ChaChee. Say the word, and I'll do it" sabi ko tas hinalikan yung kamay niya

" Will you promise to keep this tree safe, as a sign and proof of our LOVE for one another?" sabi niya tas hinawakan yung trunk nang tree

" I promise, ChaChee" sabi ko then we shared a very passionate kiss, our last passionate kiss

It's good to be back in the Philippines. Deej, hasn't answered my calls since last week, I wonder what happened to him. 

Pumunta ako kaagad sa Infinitree namin, and to my surprise, Deej was there too. 

" Deej!" Sabay takbo sakanya, then I hugged him

" ChaChee, miss kita" sabi niya then he rubbed my back, leaving small circles in them

" Miss din kita. Ba't di ka na nag-aanswer ng calls ko? Tampo na ako sayo!"  then I crossed my arms

A lady passed by " Sino kausap mo, iha?"

I smiled at her, " I'm talking to my boyfriend"

" Ha? Anong boyfriend? Ikaw lang kaya mag-isa diyan!" Napalingon ako, wala nga si Deej. San kaya pumunta yun?

" Alam mo, Iha? May namatay na lalake dito. Pinagtanggol  niya tong kahoy na to sa mga illegal loggers"

Tumingin ako sa gilid ko, Nakita ko si Deej naka-smile, then said " I kept my promise, ChaChee. I Love You, Forever" then he disappeared

" Sige, Iha. Una na ako"

 Nalaman ko kung saan yung Grave ni, Daniel. I often go there to talk to him. Kahit wala man akong makuhang sagot galing sakanya, okay pa rin, kasi nandun siya eh.

" Deej, alam mo, love na love parin kita. Ang daya mo lang kasi, Iniwan mo ako. Iniwan nga kita, pero babalik naman ako, pero ikaw? HINDI na. Deej, I will never forget our times together. I Love You, Deej. Hintayin mo ako ha? You'll always be my PERFECT MEMORY"

Tas umalis na ako. Flight ko na kasi papuntang Germany.

Bye Deej, I will never forget you. I whispered, then I left
