"Wag kang babalik!" Yaan ang naging banta na tila naka tatak na sa aming dalawa. "Waahh! Ayoko na sayo. Hik! Umalis ka na, ayaw na kitang kaybigan. Hik! W-wag kang babalik." Yaan ang naging paghikbi ng isang lawlaw-pisngi na batang lalaki, habang mahigpit na nakakapit sa dulo ng damit ko. That was the first time that I heard those words from him. "Wag kang babalik." Yaan din ang kanyang sagot nang tanungin ko siya ng paano kung isang araw iwan ko siya. It was a what-if scenario in my head.... Hindi ko lang inasahan na magkakatotoo pala talaga.
