"I'll just pick a few things that I need before we go home, love?" she slightly nudged my arms before turning her back at me. Pinagmasdan ko siyang pumunta sa aisle kung saan makikita ang mga office materials.

I decided to stroll around the bookstore to entertain myself while waiting for her. Lumapit ako sa isang corner kung saan matatagpuan ang mga fiction books because something caught my attention. It is a novel with a golden beach as a cover. The scenery looks familiar to me...and the title too...

"WHEN I MET YOU IN THE SUMMER OF 2017"

Binuksan ko ang ilang pahina pero napatigil ako ng mabasa ang dedication.

To my island boy,

Maybe you don't remember me anymore.

But I remember you

and for me that's enough, my love.

I suddenly felt something in my chest. Nanatili akong nakatitig sa librong hawak ko...this book makes me feel so ---lonely. I flip the cover para makita ang pangalan ng author when someone suddenly snatched it from me.

She looked at the book before letting out a sigh. Ibinalik niyang muli ang libro sa shelves bago hinawakan ang kamay ko.

"Let's go home na, love" she smiled at me before dragging me out of the bookstore.
