See You In Another World, Love

Chapter 4

Allisse POV

"Halley, what's going on? I think you're out of character now."

She's getting weird after buying that stuff. She's looking with it seriously.

I know that painting. The paintor of that is Von Gogh, an post-impressionist painter in renaissance period.

Base on observation, if you delineate the Starry night painting, it's all about life and death because of the dazzling stars and gloomy villages. But other surmise this painting was related to Van Gogh's illness. At hindi ko alam kung bakit ganiyan siya makatitig sa painting.

Today is Halley's birthday but it seems the weather was wrong timing. I had took only a few photos and I'm not satisfied with it. Bigla kasing bumuhos ang napakalakas na ulan. Arghh bakit ba hindi ko sinearch and weather ngayon.

I lean towards her and she seems unconvenient. I tried to figure out but I'm clueless. I guess because of the weather so she couldn't able to enjoy her day?

I get my digital camera to capture some image with her. Wala pa kasi siyang picture dito at sa pagkakaalam ko this will be the last day of letting her to travel outside the hospital.

The doctor told us, she's already on stage D and guess what... her life expectancy will last for 5 years. Alma and I, didn't bother to tell her the truth. Ayaw kong mawala ang pagiging positibo niya sa buhay. Halley is a lovely girl.

"Halley can I take you a picture to have a remembrance?"

"Sure" matipid nitong sagot.

Halley is my bestfriend since when were young. Lahat ng nangyayari sa kaniyang buhay ay sinasabi niya sa akin. Her favorites, crushes, likes and anything that every girls do. She loves exploring, travelling and painting. Minsan lang kami kung mag-usap ng face-to-face, sometimes through VM lang dahil malayo ang bahay ko sa kanila. Sa ibang lalawigan kasi ako at siya naman ay sa capital ng France, Paris.

Pumwesto siya sa may malapit sa grills sa tabi ng dagat. Malapit na rin pala ang sunset at napakasarap mag sight-seeing dito. Kahit umuulan visible pa rin ito sa kalangitan, nangyayari ang ganito kapag ang araw ay umaabot na sa 18 degrees below the horizon.

While finding a better angle for a perfect shot, I notice a visible mark at her right chest where our hearts located. I cannot guess what is it because of her curly hair. I thought she don't like tattoos but now she has on it.

She looks drop dead gorgeous! If I will describe her, she might be like a goddess whenever she appears pale and tired because of her condition.

Habang kinukunan ng litrato ni Allise ang kaniyang kaibigan, nagulantang siya nang maranig ang tawag sa telepeno.

"Hello Alma, We're currently arriving to the hospital. Don't worry Halley is absolutely okay. She's on my sight."

"Merci d'avoir pris soin d'elle, Allise. Please arrive safely okay?"

Ilalagay ko na sana ang aking cellphone sa bag nang hindi ko namalayang nakahandusay na pala si Halley sa lapag. Hinahabol niya ang kaniyang hininga habang hawak-hawak ang kaniyang dibdib.

Gosshh, She's running out of breath. I need to carry her at the hospital.

Iminulat ko ang aking mata at sa palagay ko nasa hospital na ako ngayon dahil sa kisameng puti na kaharap ko.

Ano bang nangyari? ang huli kong natatandaan ay nung kinukunan ako ng litrato ni Allise. Sayang hindi ko man lang na-enjoy ang lugar na iyon.
