Here I am 10 years later, still battling to live. My family? We’re closer than ever. Frank, Maxx, and Saab are all married; Frank already has a teenage boy, Maxx? She’s pregnant with her first baby. While Saab is still working on it. Arkin? He’s almost there, he’s getting married next month. And my little baby Clara? She’s not a baby anymore, she’s already someone else’s princess, in a matter of time, she’ll be walking down the aisle too. And my mom? She didn’t change a bit, she is busy with Dad’s business. We may have our own lives now but we know, she’s still there to guide us.
Woman: Goodmorning Father!
Elmo: Goodmorning!
Yes, I’m a priest now, ever since I came back 10 years ago. I devoted myself to church for I know that it is a way to thank our Almighty Father and to thank “her” too.
Frank Magalona calling….
Elmo: Hello?
Frank: Hey bro! We just arrived at the airport, who’s there already?
Elmo: No one, Maxx’s on her way, Saab is at the lobby, Arkin just took her fiancé home but he’s coming back, Clara is in her studio to finish her recording but she’ll be here soon
Frank: And mom?
Elmo: She’s at the chapel
Frank: okay, we’ll be there in a bit
Elmo: Alright bro
***********
Arkin: Hey, looks like everybody’s here, Hey kuya Frank! Missed you!
Frank: I missed you too! Look at you! You’re all man!
Saab: Hey you two, stop it muna, Frank you told us that you got something to say kanina?
Frank: Ah yeah, Anak, go ahead
Frank’s Son: I found this in the airport kanina, well not really in the airport, sa may labas, before entering the parking lot?
I know hearing that place would always make everybody silent but this time, it didn’t take long
Maxx: So what’s so great about it?
Frank: Well, the letter was written exactly 10 years ago. It looks like it was dropped there and has been an “unopened letter” until today
I can see that everybody got what Frank was talking about…
Elmo: Well, will you read it for us? (Looking at Frank’s son)
Frank’s Son: Ofcourse Tito
Everybody was quiet, but I know that all eyes are on me
To My Dearest Princess,
It has been exactly four years since I left this place but now I’m back. And everything else is back too.I can still remember that day, the day at the airport. It was when You and I finally ended whatever we have. It’s still so clear that it seems that not a long time has passed. Today, I saw you. Waiting for me in the airport, wearing the same clothes that I last remembered you in. Then suddenly I remembered the pain again.
If you didn’t meet me, this would have never happened. If I didn’t love you, this would have never happened. If you didn’t love me, this would have never happened.
