"Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering."
"Defargo, Jahiem Klein N."
We all applaud in unison, tears brimming in our eyes, but a proud smile on our lips. Neo, the leader of the group, stepped forward and gave his diploma, but it rolled down since the cold air suddenly blew in our direction.
Are you here?
I hope you're seeing all of these.
Neo picked up the diploma again, placing it above the glass of Jahiem's coffin. I clapped weakly, not creating any sound. I brought my weak hands against my trembling lips as I admire him resting peacefully on the cushion.
Today is his graduation, but he didn't make it. Ang sakit sa puso. Parang noong isang araw lang pinag-uusapan pa namin ang balak nila pagkatapos makuha ang diploma.
Tapos ngayon...
"Malulungkot 'yon kapag nakita ka niyang ganiyan." Tinabihan ako ni Greno na nakasuot pa rin ng toga. Pinagpaalam pa nilang tatlo 'yon para dito, nanghingi na rin sila ng isa para kay Jahiem. They all know Jahiem is really anticipating for their graduation, especially his diploma. They just made one if his dreams come true, even if he couldn't experience it personally, I hope he could feel and see the effort of his friends. They are truly the best.
"Anong magagawa ko? Hanggang ngayon masakit pa rin." He said nothing and just held my shaky hands the whole time.
Lakad na, Riley. Hindi naman uusad ang mundo para sa 'yo 'di ba?
Lumakad ka na...
I arrived at the funeral alone. There are a lot of people here compared to the previous days, all of their heads are bowed down to show respect. Maybe because this is the last day of the funeral. The last day we could possibly see Jahiem
"Good evening po." I greeted his mom and his step dad. They both smiled weakly in return. Ang ate niya lang ang nakabati sa akin gamit ang salita. Ate Kayla is so strong. Parehas sila ni Jahiem.
Naghanap ako ng mauupuan at hindi ko maiwasang hindi tingnan isa-isa ang mga tao. I recognized a lot of them. Of course, Neo and the rest are here. There's ate Yuri, beside her is her boyfriend Lucho, and beside him is his friends. Even the former members of their freedom club are also here. There are a few relatives.
Habang pinagmamasdan ko sila, doon ko napagtanto na napakarami palang nagmamahal kay Jahiem. Sana nakikita niya ngayon ang mga taong ito, ang lahat ng ito.
Jahiem, you are so loved. I hope you are aware.
I messily took off my bag, creasing my cream colored blouse. Napatigil lang ako sa pag-upo sa nahanap kong pwesto nang mapansin kung sino ang nakaupo sa tabi ng kabaong. Ang taong iyon pa naman ang una kong nakita pagkapasok ko pero hindi ko nakilala agad.
