"He's aware that he's sick."

What..

"Last month, I noticed that he keeps forgetting things, I insisted that we should see a doctor.."

Nandito kami ng girls sa bahay ng parents ni Diether.

I can't handle the continuous revelations.
I feel like crying

"The Doctor said that he has the same disease as his mother, it's hereditary, it can happen. Approximate of 6 months until he completely forgot everything"

Di ko na napigilan ang luha ko.
I can't believe it.
Bakit sa kaniya pa to nangyari??

"I have retired to fully take care of my wife and my son. I don't know what to do anymore. It's so sad, I can't believe this is happening to my family."

So I've decided.
Hindi dapat ako malungkot.
I'll make the most out of it.

I'll make memories with him before he forget me.

----

"Are you not busy?"

"Hmm. We can go on a date whenever we want."

I took a 6 months leave sa trabaho.

We're here sa rooftop. It's already dark but we are filled with strip lights.

"Hey let's dance" yaya niya sakin.

His hands on my waist and mine on his shoulders

[playing Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman] (chorus)

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

I rest my head on his chest.

"Diether"

"Hmm?"

"Can you say my name?"

"Again?" He chuckled.

"Cha. Charlotte. Charlotte Salvador. Director Cha"

^_^

"Do you love me?"

"A lot. I love you a lot Cha." ^^

My eyes are teary.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"About what?"

I looked him in the eyes.

"You have the same disease as your mom."

Natigilan siya.

"You keep forgetting things, you even forgot you have a girlfriend"

He took a step back. He looked confused.

"I- i didn't know. I'm sorry-"

I hugged him.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault"

His tears started to fall.

"We'll make happy memories for you to remember"

"Cha. I'm sorry, I just want us to be happy. I don't want this disease to make us sad"

"And that's what we will do. Let's make the most of it. I love you Diether"

I wiped his tears.

"Hmm. I love you"

and we kissed.

I just want him to be happy before his memory fades.

Dito ako natulog sa room ni Diether dahil ayokong mahiwalay sa kaniya.

Maaga akong nagising at ipinagluto siya ng breakfast.

Dahil tulog pa naman siya at nakaluto na ko, kumuha ako ng sticky note at ballpen.

I wrote everything na kailangan niya sa pang araw araw.

Idinikit ko ito sa lahat ng parte ng bahay.

Sinulat ko kung saan nakalagay ang mga bagay bagay kung sakaling makalimutan niya.

I also put our polaroid pics at his bedroom.

"What are you doing?"

"Gising ka na pala. Nagugutom ka na ba? Ipinagluto na kita ng breakfast"

"What's with the sticky notes?"

"I already wrote everything. You don't have to worry if you forgot something."

He looked at me with a very touchy eyes ^^

"Aw, natouch ka ba"

He hugged me.

"Thank you" ^^

---

*knock knock

"HI!!!"

"Anong ginagawa niyo dito?"

"Aish. Anong akala mo ikaw lang gustong makasama si diether."

"Tumabi ka nga Cha"

"Diether! Nandito kami!"

><

-

"Who's he?"

Nandito ang lahat. Che, Chi, Cho, Ele at JC.

"Siya ang asawa ko,Ele"

"Really? You're married?"

"Ako, kilala mo ba ko?"

"You're an actor right?"

"Yes! Atleast tumama. Ako si JC"

I feel so blessed that Diether and I had a friend like them. 

They're so understanding and caring. ^_^

They don't mind even if Diether forgot who they are. In fact, tinutulungan nila si diether na makaalala  ^^
