Fading Life 1

Fading 1: The Start of Mystery

PHIA JEYA FRANCISCO

A night that symbolizes darkness. The darkness is the thing that almost everyone fears. Fears that we don't know when did it start or when will it stops. Because no one can predict what will be the future alike.

Dahil hindi lahat ng gusto ng isang tao ay natutupad.

"I like gangsters. Pero takot ako sa mga gangsters," sabi ko sa kanya at napangiti ng pilit.

"Bakit naman?" Floyd ask.

Nagkibit balikat ako sa kanya bago sumagot, "I don't know."

I did cross my feet and arms as I look at his location. He wears a black top and black pants in which he loves to wear. His face looks like my favorite action Hollywood Actor, Floyd Samson. Floyd Samson is known all over the world for his talent in action and how his moves give intense on every movie he is portraying.

Sometimes, I even compare Floyd Samson to this guy beside me. But then, I realized that this guy sitting beside me is much stronger than anyone in this world.

"Pero isa kang gangster, Phia," he said. Napangiti ako sa kanya nang pilit.

"I know..." inalis ko sa kanya ang aking tingin at tumingin nalang sa harapan. "That is why I am also afraid of myself. I am afraid of what I can do to myself and to you, Floyd. There is no assurance that you and I will live for a long time because we are belonging to this kind of world... gangster's world." I added.

Napabuntong hininga ako ng malalim.

"It is like sooner or later, everything will fade. Between you and I. Everything." Dagdag ko pa nang hindi siya nagsalita.

I remember how the both of us met each other.

"Because life fades," sabi niya.

Napayakap ako sa sarili kong jacket nang maramdaman ko ang malamig ng simoy ng hangin. It is almost December time and San Vicente is one of the place here in the country who experience cold Christmas breeze.

Hindi ko na kailangan lumingon sa kanya upang makita ko ang paglingon niya sa akin.

"Ang buhay natin ay panandalian. We don't know when, where, and how life fades but, I can assure one thing..."

"What is it, Floyd?" nilingon ko siya kaya kitang kita ko ngayon ang namumulang mga mata niya. Those eyes. I always love to stare at it.

"That is... when I'm gone, remember that I am always with you. Sa tuwing hinahawakan mo ang iyong sandata sa tuwing nakikilaban ka, isipin mo lang na ako ang iyong hinawakan. Because I am the blade of your sword that will protect you from harm. And, no matter what happens, I will not leave you even though you will leave me... or, even though this physical body will fade in this world. "

Napabuntong hininga ako sa kanyang sinabi.

"Everything fades, but love doesn't fade." Mahina kong sambit sa kanya. "Pero ayaw kong iwan mo ako rito, Floyd."

-

"Bye, Ma!" Nakangiti kong iniwagayway ang aking kamay.

"Bye, baby. Take care yourself on your school okay?" She shouted.

Napangiti ako sa kanya at tumatango-tango.

"Okay!" I shouted back.

"Tara na, Jeya?" My yaya ask me.

I gave her smile so she opens the car for me to get in. Malaki ang ngiti ko ngayon dahil ito ang unang araw ng pasukan.

Just like other children like me, I am excited to get to know my classmates. My parents got me enroll in private school for the starting of my grade level and it gives excitement inside of me.
