KATH’S POV

 

I was walking in the aisle of the church.

Nasa harap siya.

Naiiyak na ako.

Nagaantay lang siya sa harap ng simbahan.

WALANG BUHAY.

Oo, namatay si Deej sa aksidente. At ang dapat na WEDDING DAY namin ay ang araw ng libing niya. Habang naglalakad ako, memories lang namin ni Deej ang naaalala ko.

"Im sorry." yan ang sabi ng doctor. 2 salita na dumurog sa mundo ko.

 Im looking forward to this day for 7 months. We've planned everything for this day. Everything's just so perfect. Until one day, he's gone. And today, I'll bid my goodbye to the man I promise to spend my forever with.

 

“This should be the happiest day of my life, but it turned out to be the worst. I should be walking in the aisle of this church wearing my wedding gown. But instead I walked wearing this black dress. We should be here in front saying our vows, but Im here saying my Eulogy. Akala ko nung nagbreak kami nung 3rd anniversary namin, yun na yung pinakamasakit na mangyayari sakin. May mas masakit pa pala. At eto na yun. Kahit kelan hindi ko na siya makikita, kahit kelan di ko na maririnig yung boses niya, yung tawa niya. We've been through alot. 3 years of pure happiness bago kami magkahiwalay nun. Yun ang pinakamasayang 3 taon sa buhay ko. Maraming nagsasabe na nung 3 taon na kami, ang perfect daw ng relationship namin. Well I guess wala talagang perfect kaya kami nagkahiwalay. Pero pagbalik ko, he did everything to win me back for the second time around, to win us back, Cassandra and I. Akala ko eto na yung perfect time para sa relationship namin. Akala ko lang pala. Ang daya mo Babe eh. 7 months natin pinagplanuhan to. Tapos wala ka naman dito. Sabi mo gagawa pa tayo ng mga kapatid ni Casey. Sabi mo bibigyan mo ko ng Best Honeymoon ever. Sabi mo walang iwanan. Pano na ko? Pano na kami ni Cassandra? Pano ko kakayaning gumising sa umaga ng walang DJ sa buhay ko. Pano ko kakayanin Babe? Sabihin mo naman oh. Kung nasan ka man Babe. Alam ko naririnig mo to, I just want to say that I still consider myself the luckiest girl dahil ikaw ang naging boyfriend ko, fiance, at tatay ng anak ko. Mahal na mahal na mahal kita. Ngayon palang miss na miss kita. Pano pa sa mga susunod na araw, linggo, buwan at taon na wala ka na. Well I guess this is it Babe. I love you and Goodbye.”

 

I was sobbing hard.

I don’t want to say goodbye.

Di ko yata kaya ng walang DJ for the rest of my life.

Lord. Kasama mo na ba yung lalaking mahal ko? Baka naman po pwedeng ibalik niyo muna siya sakin. Konting panahon lang Lord. Konti lang. Gusto ko siyang makasama ulit kahit saglit lang.

Kahit saglit lang please.

CASEY’S POV

 

Daddy’s gone.

Why is life so unfair?

We’ve only been together for the past 7 months. And then, BAM. He’s gone.

The first 5 years of my life was hell. Yes sure, Im happy with my Mom and with Daddy Albie around. But growing up without my real dad is hell. I get to see my classmates with their dads. I see how they bond. I see how their daddies fetch them after school.

Akala ko mabubuo na yung family ko.

Bakit kinuha agad siya samin? Im only 5, but Ive been through alot.

Now I see how my Mom breaks down infront of us. It must have been hard on her. I ran up to her and hugged her. We were both crying.

Seeing my mom cry plus seeing my dad infront of me lifeless makes me want to pass out anytime.

But I know I have to be strong. For my mom. For the both of us.

Dad, wherever you are. I hope you’re okay there. I promise, I’ll be strong. I’ll take care of mom. I love you Daddy. You’ll be in my heart forever.
