Isang sulat ang bumungad sa mailbox namin kanina. How ironic.

Ilang buwan na rin ang nakalipas, Kuya's okay now. He always is. Pero his eyes are always so sad. I didn't notice kung ganun ba sila dati, pero everytime I look at him, nakakaramdam ako ng awa. All this time, he's been taking care of me, making sure I'm okay and I'm happy. Pero not once did I ask if he was okay. 

Hawak hawak ko yung sulat hanggang sa makarating kami sa school, hindi ko siya binigay kay Kuya. I didn't want to. 

Alam ba niya? Na sumulat siya? Pero bakit siya sa akin sumulat? 

Am I mad? No, of course not. Wala akong karapatan para magalit. I'm just... disappointed I guess. Pero I could never be mad at Ate Anna. 

"Love? Are you okay? You're starting to scare me with your expression." 

"CHE!" 

He held my hand and kissed it. 

"It's going to be fine, trust me." 

"Lovey, okay lang ako. I'm just scared." 

"Because of the letter? Akala ko ba hahayaan mong maghintay si Kuya?" 

"Oo naman! Pero, paano kung bad news yung nakalagay sa sulat ni Ate Anna? Tsaka bakit sulat pa? May facebook naman ah! Hindi na lang siya nag message dun." 

"Why don't you read the letter first before jumping into conclusions?" he said, "I'll open it after school, kasama sila." 

Hanggang sa nakarating kami sa school, hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko kung anong laman nung salat. There's a part of me hoping na sana bumalik na siya, not for us pero para sa kapatid ko. Ano ba yan, naiiyak ako. 

Hahaha. 

The day went by quickly, hindi ko namalayan na tapos na pala yung klase. Para akong robot the whole day. 

Nandito kami sa bahay ni Mae. We were sitting on the floor sa sala  nung nilabas ko yung sulat. Agad namang inabot yun ni Jillian at napamura. 

"Timing nga naman oh." Nick

"Yeah, it's a bitch." Jillian "Did you read it yet?" tanong niyia sa akin nung binalik niya sa kamay ko yung sulat, umiling ako. 

She snatched it back and opened it herself, "holy." 

"Mag mumura nanaman." Nick

"Sira! Hindi. Kim, this letter was from two years ago." 

Pinakita niya sa akin yung date sa taas. 2012, tss! 2014 na kaya! "Read it." I said
