HE ALWAYS SAVES ME

Our teacher gave us an assignment, but it's different because we need to write a confession to someone and we will read it infront of our teacher and my classmates.

And this day came. Habang hawak ang papel na pinagsulatan ko ng confession ko ay nanginginig ito.

I am the last that will read beacause my surname is Villa, it's an alphebetical letter.

Halos lahat ng classmate ko ay about sa crush, sa mga taong mahal o jowa nila ang confession nila, yung iba naman ay puro kalokohan... may iba rin na nakakalungkot ang naging confession, may iba na galit, yung iba ay tungkol naman sa mga kaibigan nila.

"Villa your turn," my teacher said.

Tumayo ako sa pagkakaupo at pumunta sa harapan nilang lahat.

Hinawakan ko ang papel ko na nanginginig na siyang naglalaman ng confession ko. Kinakabahan ako.

"He always save me." I state the title of my confession and everyone shouted when they heard it.

"Yiee!"
"Sino 'yan villa ha?"
"Ikaw ah?"

"Shut up class, let's hear Ms. Villa."

Nagsimula akong muli magsalita nang tumahimik na sila. Mas lalo pa akong kinabahan dahil lahat sila nakatitig sa akin.

"He is the one who's always here with me. When my parents died, he's the one who tell me that everything will be fine and alright because he's always there for me. He's the one who I can tell everything, I can be whoever I want to be, I can be the happiest or even the saddest person in his eyes."

Napahinto ako at napalunok dahil may kung anong bumabara sa lalamunan ko.

" I am scared, but he's always here beside me. He can be my mother, he can be my father, he can be my friend, he can be whatever he wants."

Lahat sila ay tahimik na nakikinig at nakatingin sa akin.

Napatinagala ako para tumigil ang luhang nagbabadyang bumuhos.

"Right, he always save me. He's the reason why I survive, he's the reason why I am here infront of you and still standing, talking, smiling, and telling you this confession.

"But yeah, he's the reason why I survive... but it can't be the reason for him to survive. He's always there for me, but he never thinks that I am here for him. Even me, can't be the reason for him to stay."

Hindi ko na napigilan at tuluyan na akong napaluha... nakikita ko na ring napapaluha ang mga classmate ko kahit ang teacher namin.

"W-We always fight, we always tease each other, we always bully each other... but in the end we will just talk happily, then smile, laugh and giggle. I l-love him, more than I love myself. I bravely wrote and tell everyone this confession for him."

Napagulhol ako at hindi na tinuloy ang pagbabasa ng isinulat ko. Sasabihin ko na ang gusto kong sabihin.

"A-ang daya-daya m-mo. Y-You leave me, and God knows how much I want to go there too, g-gusto ko na lang sumama sa iyo. Why you commited suicide? I am still here... your little and fragile sister is still here."

Halos lahat ay nagulat nang maintindihan nila kung sino ang tinutukoy ko.

"K-Kuya ang daya mo, i-iniwan mo ako. But I remembered our promises to each other, and I want to fulfill it. Tutuparin ko lahat k-kahit wala ka na sa tabi ko.

"K-Kuya mahal na mahal kita, maraming salamat sa lahat. At kahit na sumuko ka na, you're still the reason why I am still breathing, you are still saving me."
