—How could I be happy without you, Love?

Sky's POV

Today is our graduation day.

Yes, we survived that thesis defense and kami pa ang may mas mataas na grades after that.

Aaminin ko, nakaka proud kasi nakayanan namin na matapos ang thesis defense at masagot ang mga hell questions ng professor namin.

Dagdag mo pa rito ang mga support ni Jessica at ni Van sa amin throughout the defense. Nandoon sila sa loob ng room at pinanonood kami.

They are also making some actions that will make us feel comfortable and not nervous.

Pero, Graduation doesn't excite me anymore. Exactly 1 year ago na-aksidente si Luna. Same date sa moving up ceremony namin.

Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako na tapos na ang school days ko or malulungkot dahil wala rito si Luna.

Gosh, i miss her so much.

"Sky, you good?" i heard someone behind me kaya nilingon ko ito.

"Yeah, i'm good" sagot ko kay Z.

Nandito kami sa bahay namin ngayon. Nag sleepover sila kagabi para raw dito na rin sila mag ayos para sa graduation.

As usual, pinayagan sila nila Tita. Sanay silang nags'sleep over dito. Minsan one week, minsan one month pa.

"Ah, Jess? Would you mind taking a video of me kapag tinawag pangalan ko sa stage?" Tanong ko kay Jess na nag m'make up ngayon.

"Yes, sure. Pero bakit?" Tanong nito habang nakatingin sa akin.

"Ah, I just want Luna to see that kapag nagising na siya hehe" sabi ko at tumawa ng mahina.

"HAHAHAHA, i knew it. Copy that!" Sabi nito kaya napangiti ako.

"Hehe, thanks" sabi ko.

I continued doing my make up habang sila ay nag da-damit na. I can't help myself but feel sad. May kulang sa akin..

"Mga anak, mag si-kain muna kayo. Maaga pa naman" i heard my Mom as she opened the door of my room.

"Yes, Tita. Sunod po kami" sabi ni Jess kaya tumango na lang si Mama bilang response.

Kahit si Mama ay naka ready na rin at naka make up na. They are all really excited for this graduation.

Sino bang hindi, 'di ba? The moment that everyone is waiting for. The moment you graduate college and end your school days. Everyone would be so so excited.

"Tara, kain na tayo" sabi ni Viya.

Naunang bumaba si Viya at Van nang matapos silang mag make up at mag ayos ng sarili nila sa harap ng salamin.

Sumunod si Z habang nag c'cellphone pa. Naunang siyang matapos mag make up since maaga palang ay gising na siya at nag r'ready na ng sarili.

Naiwan kami ni Jess dito sa loob ng kwarto. She is busy checking her phone habang ako naman ay nag f'face powder sa harap ng salamin.

Saktong pag open ng phone ko for some notifications. I saw Jess look at my phone sa peripheral side ko.

Napa-titig naman ako sa wallpaper ko ng matagal. It was me and Luna—our picture together sa isang lugar nung lumabas kami.

"Miss her?" tanong ni Jess kaya napabalik ako sa wisyo ko.

"Yeah, so much" sabi ko at ngumiti na lang.
