LEA

Since last week I always think and dreamt of Lea. It seems her memories haunt me every minute and every hour of my day. Bigla bigla na lamang itong pumapasok sa isip ko kasabay nito ang pagkirot ng aking ulo tuwing inaalala ko ang mga sumunod na nangyari....

"Tita Perlita,nasaan po si Lea?" I asked their maid."

"Im sorry Aeros umalis na nang bansa sila Lea kasama ang buo niyang pamilya."

"Bakit naman po tita?Hindi!!Bakit hindi siya nagpaalam sa akin? Naglalaro lamang po kami ng tagu-taguan tapos biglaa.....bigla nalang po mababalitaan ko sainyo na umalis na sila ng bansa? Nagsisinungaling po kayo tita,sabihin niyo napo sakin para siya naman po ang taya"  I started to cry Im afraid on what might gonna happen to Lea.

"Shhhh dont cry Iho,kailangan lang talagang umalis ni Lea" She tried to stop me from crying.

"Bakit nga po?"

"Hindi ko pwedeng sabihin iho,basta. Pero hindi mo kailangang mag alala babalik si Lea,babalikan ka niya" She gave me a forced smile.

Tita perly went outside to water the plants on their garden. I am about to go with her outside when I suddenly heard something from her phone.

MAAM ANGELA 

Good afternoon Perlita we landed here safe. Its 4'o clock in the afternoon here in Canada. As soon as Lea wake up we will sent her to the hospital here in Calgary. Babalitaan ka naman ka agad                          

                                                                                                                                              sent 4:02 pm

Im not that dumb not to get what tita Angelea meant in that text. But I dont have any idea about Lea's dissease or whatever. Pero malamang kung hindi malala iyon ay hindi na nila kinakailangang pumunta pa sa Canada dahil napakarami namang magagandang hospital dito sa Pilipinas.

Years pass by, wala pa rin akong balita kay Lea. Its been a five years now and Im already 15 years old. Hindi ko naman hiningi ang number ni Tita Angela o ni Lea man lang kay tita Perlita. I was scrolling my feed on Facebook when a notification popped up.





LEA MERCADO SENT YOU A FRIEND REQUEST

When I saw her name on the screen I did'nt hesitate to click the accept button. Im so excited to see her and talk to her again. As I accepted her friend request I immediately sent her a message

TO: LEA MERCADO

COMPOSE A MESSAGE

"Hi Lea, this is rosros. How are you? Do you still remember me?" 

LEA IS TYPING ........

I cant explain my feeling now.. Im excited and a little bit nervous as the same time.

"Ros ros?"

"Oo Lea yung kabababata mo ako iyon,kamusta ka diyan sa Canada?"

"Sinong ros ros? Im sorry sir but I dont know you."

Nawala ang ngiti ko sa labi nang mabasa ko ang chat ni Lea. Hindi niya ako kilala? How come? sa bagay limang taon narin ang nakakalipas nang iwanan niya ako. Baka nga kinalimutan niya na rin ako mula nung pumunta siya sa Canada.

I logged out my facebook account and Just continue composing my own song. This is what Im doing whenever Im bored and  I have nothing to do.
