Winds of The Past

Friend

"Claud this is Dian"sabi sakin ni Tita.

"Hi Dian"

"Hi..."

"Nak, andyan na sila Dian"

I quickly run palabas ng bahay to meet my friend Dian.

We played after class, Best friends kami eh.

Dian is an old friend of mine, childhood friend.

We grew up knowing each other since pre elem.

"Dian Yung crush mo!" Asar ko sakanya ng makita namin crush niya.

"Hala naman eh!"

We were so close dati, but everything got a bit of messed up kaya kailangan nilang lumipat.

"Promise me na Best Friends parin tayo okay?"

"Promise"

"Mag uusap parin tayo okay?"

"Oo naman basta wag kang mag sungit at bigla biglang hindi namamansin"

"Baka ikaw yun ha!"

And Just like that after graduation ng grade 6 lumipat na sila. Hindi nawala ang communication namin, we continued communicating.

"Claudia!"

"Dian!"

"Omg I miss you girl"

"I miss you too"

"Mag start na school namin dito sa August"

"Same, pati dito"

"Hala! Sana mag kita tayo sana mag bakasyon muna kami!"

"I miss you din!"

Though lumipat siya before high school we continued chatting for about 2 years.

"OMG, I meet a lot of people kanina"

"Nakakahiya kanina"

"Ano kaba wag kang mahiya!"

"Sabi nila masaya daw High school"

"Nag start na akong na niniwala dyan"

"I'm not sure"

"First day of school palang! May 4 years pa!"

But the last 1 year medjo nag kaka labuan  na.

"Hala ang saya naman" I commented sa myday niya.

"Yeah"

"Kailan kayo mag bakasyon ulit dito?"

"Summer siguro"

"Happy Birthday Dian!"

"Thanks"

We went on like that until one day suddenly everything changed. We stopped communicating, hindi na din sila nag bakasyon dito so hindi ko na alam kung nasaan siya.

"Hey" I typed

Days passed pero walang reply I tried greeting her noong birthday niya"

"Hey Dian! Happy Birthday! Just wanna great you ngayong birthday mo, I wish you the best of everything, Sana balang araw mag kita na ulit tayo, miss you! Anyway Happy Birthday ulit!!!"
