Dear Freya,

I hope you'll be able to read this letter after five years. I'm sorry for lying, Freya. I'm sorry for doing this to you, you're my twin, and you don't deserve this. I'm so sorry. I ran away from home when I'm sure our father was worried sick. I just want to end my life so he would never worry about me anymore.

I'm terribly guilty and I don't deserve to live. I started to become depressed when I was ten, I felt alone and empty. Everyone doesn't want me. They said I'm weird. All their hurtful words bottled up inside my chest until it burst. Until I couldn't handle it anymore.

I'm sorry about what I will do tonight. I just want to end this terrible life of mine. I think that this is the right thing to do. I know you think that I'm pathetic and crazy, I am. If you happen to read this, I want to tell you that I love you, Freya. You're lucky that you're loved. Tell our family that I love them so much.

Franz.

The letter was short. It's her last words before she died. Iniisip ko kung paano kung sa ibang sitwasyon kami nagkakilala ng kakambal ko, baka sakaling hindi sana siya nagpakamatay. Baka sakaling natulungan ko pa siya.

Isang umaga, tumawag sa akin si mama. Nagulat ako ng araw na iyon ng si Papa ang sumagot. Akala ko ay may ginawa siyang masama kay Mama. Kuwinento ko lahat ng nangyari simula sa una. Lahat ng kasinungalingang sinabi sa akin ni Franz. Nagpapasalamat ako dahil nakausap kaming dalawa...dahil ngayon, magkakasama na kaming lahat sa pagbisita sa kapatid ko.

Ito ang unang beses na binisita ko si Franz mula noong bumalik ako rito sa Pilipinas. I'm glad I didn't because I'm with my family now. After so many years without a father, I finally have one. He's genuine, sweet, and joyful. Marami na akong natutunan tungkol sa kanya. Sometimes we would go out together, only the two of us.

I'm contented with my life now. I'm the happiest future wife to Paul and daughter to my family. I couldn't ask for more. If there's the only thing I regret was that I didn't get to know Franz more. She's my twin sister. But I do hope she's free from worries wherever she is. Because I'm damn happy now.
