What that Summer Breeze had Started?

Chapter 4: Reminisce

**CHAPTER 4**

Nothing makes sense anymore; I'm lost, in an endless path; I can't call and reach out.

My voice feels faint, and my throat feels dry.

My inaudible voice can't reach out and call for help.

My body's temperature's dropping. I felt like I could die at that instant and feel good about it.

My knowledge of the world was just a false illusion.

Those who stand on the ground can't soar the skies.

I'm a mediocre student, a lowlife, wala pa pala akong alam sa mundong ito.

I am someone who doesn't even have a past.

Just like a chipped stone tablet, unable to record the world's most remarkable events.

If only someone can fix my broken memories,

Hindi sana ganito ang kinalabasan.

I'm all alone, incomplete; and ignorant. Life wasn't rewarding after all.

I want to rest; I need to rest. I need to find peace; I need to fix everything.

Pero paano? There's no way. I'm leading down to the only path; the only ending; this story won't possibly have a happy ending, sayang.

Sinayang ko lang buong buhay ko as a dumb lowlife.

Is this the end? Is this where it all concludes?

While I'm concluding my life, nag-ring yung phone ko.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Oh. Akazuki. What's the matter?"

"Oh. About the invitation, huh? Okay, tutulong ako."

I told him that I'll, help but; I'm scared. I don't know what could happen if I go. Wala akong alam. I don't even have any- wait, the letter. Do I still have it?

I checked all of my pockets. Nahanap ko rear-left pocket.

Pinag isipan ko ng mabuti kung bubuksan ko ba o ibabalik ko nalang pero; I want to know the truth. Simula dati pa gusto ko malaman lahat ng katotohanan, but I don't have the resolve. I'm just a weak coward, a sheep hiding in a wolf's skin. Mukha akong matibay yet in reality; I'm just a foolish coward. Gusto ko matuto, but I'm scared of the consequences that come with it. I wish that everything will go as planned.

I took a deep breath and opened it.

*Letter*

"Hey Ku-chan, I sent this letter to you! In case things go wrong with my dad's work, and we'll become separated. I'll always be with you. I hope this letter will arrive at your house without problems. Don't worry! I won't forget you. Even if you forget me because of that magic thingy my dad's colleagues used on you. I won't, ever. So please, please return to me someday. I'll never break my promises again; Never na kita iiwan ulit. And maybe I can convey my feelings for you at that time correctly. I want to be with you someday. Please, read this. And remember our promise that day. Under the blossoming trees; the summer's warm breeze; the birds chirping the heaven's wills; the leaves soaring high into the skies; and the silence that I wanted to protect forever. Please, return to me. Maghihintay ako; till the end of time. ******-chan"

-******* ********

*Letter END*

"Ano??"
