"Czai", Miah's soft voice awaken me from my deep thoughts while staring at the freshly made tombstone of Gerlie with an epitaph "Death ends life not relationships" . 

"Hey", my voice was hoarse due to crying and eyes were still swollen. 

My eyes drifted around to look for Lucas and that's when I realized that we were only few left here in the mausoleum of the Fernandez's family. It's quieter now than earlier. Their relatives maybe went home after Gerlie was buried.

I was about to turn my gaze to Miah, who's standing in front of me, when I caught a sight of two familiar people talking not too far from us. My heart skip a beat when I realized who the man was. My lips parted a little as mixture of emotions stirred inside, couldn't fully process what Miah was saying because I couldn't tear my gaze on him. He changed a lot.

"Czai", I felt Miah's hold on my arm and before the man could turn his eyes on me, I looked at Miah who looks so concerned now, "Are you okay?"

I blinked twice and swallowed hard, trying relax my messy system and telling to myself that I shouldn't be affected anymore. It's been almost 3 years but why does it felt like it's still fresh, like every mess in my life just happened yesterday?

"Y-yeah, I was looking for Lucas. Aalis na ba tayo?", but I still wanted to stay. I don't want to leave Gerlie here. I can't leave her.    

"Hindi pa naman and Lucas was outside. We can stay here for a few more hours", she smiled a little, "There's just something that Gerlie wanted me to give you".

She raised her hand in front of me and there I saw a floral-designed envelope, well fixed and with a smiley I knew was drawn by Gerlie. With so many emotions I have, I couldn't properly name anything at all. 

"She made letters for everyone", Miah said while I was only staring at the envelope, "She asked me to be her messenger", she laughed a little but tears were forming on her eyes. 

My hands, though weak and shaking a little, took the letter from Miah. She smiled at me and looked up to prevent her tears from falling. After taking a deep breath, she turned her gaze to Gerlie's tomb and looked at her with sad but loving eyes. 

I held the letter with both my hands and brought it to my chest while looking at Gerlie's smiling photo on the frame. 

"Was she mad at me?", I couldn't keep it to myself. My heart was beating fast inside but bleeding at the same time. When will I heal? When will my heart be at peace?
