After lunch, sharing hearty laughters and reminiscing the past, Zhaira decided to go home.
"Nay, salamat sa pakain ha'
"Suss wala yon. I love doing that for you at sanahindiitoang huli ha! Bago ka manlang bumalik sa Bagiou?"
"Of course Nay. I'll visit you more often"
They embraced each other tightly when Zachary arrived.
"Oh! You had lunch without me!"
"Hi Zach. I was just about to leave"
'Anak hatid mo na siya sa labasan"
Zachary guided her towards her car without uttering a single word.
'Uhm Zach I'm sorry"
"How so?"
For being here, I mean sinanay'
"That's not a problem. We both know nakapagnagtamposinanay'
"WALANG BAGYO ANG MAKAKAPANTAY" they both said and laughed
"Well, I have to go and oh! Pasesnyanasa antique shop earlier hindilangtalagaakokumportable with all you three standing in front of me there"
She entered her car and started the engine.
"That's not a problem Zhai. Ngapala" He reached a small yellow box to her "I saw this earlier and bought it for you"
"What's this?"
"Ops! Sa bahay mo na buksan. I think you needed that and you'll like it. It is classic syempre, juts the way you like things"
"That's thoughtful of you Zach. Salamat"
"Thank you for visiting Nanay. You made her happy I know"
She giggles while she stares ad Zach
"What's wrong, what's so funny?"
"Simula nang magkita tayo ulit, this might be the first conversation we have without quarreling Zach"
"Do we quarrel?" Furrowed his eyebrows
"Oh, certainly not!"
'We aren't right?"
They both laugh
" I gotta go. Thanks again sa gift"
"Take care"
He stepped back as Zhaira drove off.
She arrived at her place past six in the afternoon. Zhaira checked her phone and noticed few miscalls from her father. She sat down on her bed and breathe in and out heavily. After a few more minutes, she remembered Zach's gift. She took it out of her denim jacket's pocket still in a yellow box.
She slowly opens the box as the sight of an old thing brought her back in the few moments she loved. It was an old Victorian pocket watch.
"How on earth did he?'
A little note was placed inside the box as well.
"Everything takes time. Just breathe."
She smiled upon reading the note written by Zach.
"Still the poet Zach"
A smile grew on her lips as she breathes deeply once more.
~ A simple note can make anyone's day, brigther.
