HER LAST LETTER FOR ME [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 2

LUNA

"Iiwan ko muna kayong dalawa dito kailangan ko lang pumunta sa isang meeting if may kailangan kayo ask my secretary nasa kabilang room lang ang office nya." Ang paalam samin ni Tita Sarah.

"Thank you po." Sabay kaming nagsalita ni Ellie.

Kilala ko na siya dahil lagi siyang kinukwento ni Tita Esmeralda but this is the first time that I saw her and I don't know the first time that I layed my eyes on her I felt something different, I felt this unexplainable feelings, just like that we're so connected with each other and for a moment huminto ang oras.

It's been 10 mins simula ng lumabas si Tita Sarah at wala paring nagsasalita saming dalawa ni Ellie but I don't feel the awkwardness of this silence between us instead I feel that this silence is so comfortable.

I just get my camera and browse the picture na kinuha ko. I'm not a good photographer but I just want to capture every memorable moment that I can.
I can't stop myself to get a glimpse of her while she's sketching something on her small sketch pad that she brought with her, she's so beautiful and mysterious at the same time, I admire her beauty her eyes that reflects her soul and  out of nowhere pasimple ko siyang kinuhanan ng picture at hindi nya nalaman yun dahil nakapatay yung flash nung camera ko.

Inikot ko yung paningin ko sa loob ng office ni Tita Sarah and one painting caught my attention, tumayo ako para kuhanan sana to ng picture.

That painting is an abstarct painting but somehow I felt that I understand the meaning of it. May isang blackdot in the middle of this colorful canvas it's like a galaxy then there is the other one black dot but may nakapaikot na dark color around it just like na pinoprotektahan niya na malapit siya sa may ibang clor.

I felt that I'm that Black dot.

Some says that I'm weird or introvert to be exact. Hindi ako nakikipag usap sa iba unless I really have to. I'm not an aloof person at hindi din ako suplada but I'm just enjoying my own company.

"You like that painting?" Napatingin ako sakanya and just nod my head.

"What do you think is the meaning of that painting?" Ang bigla niyang tanong. Hinawakan ko yung black dot.

"I feel so connected with this painting. I feelt that I'm this black dot." And in my peripheral vision I saw her smile.

"How about you?" Ang balik kong tanong sakanya at inalis na yung kamay ko.

"I know the painter of this painting. Well the painter said that those two black dots are the person whose searching for each other but have their own difficulties to do that because they know that they are not belong in that galaxy." Her words is so deep I feel that in her words there is a hidden message on it.

"That's my  interpretation too." Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa this is so strange I felt that we're like Yin and Yang I know it's to imposible because this is the first time that I met her personally and I think I finally met Her.

After ng pag uusap namin about that painting natahimik ulit kami dahil may tumawag sakanya and I don't have this feeling na kailangan ko mag-isip ng topic para may mapagusapan kami pakiramdam ko na we both respect each other personal space which is so odd for me.

Sa school kasi gusto ko lang ng personal space pero yung mga classmate ko kinakausap nila ko sabi nila na ayaw lang daw nila na ma left out ako that's why they forced me to join on them. Hindi ko naman ni Le left-out ang sarili ko gusto ko lang talaga yung ako lang lang or I want someone who can understand me even if I don't say a single word. At yun ang nararamdaman ko ngayon habang kaharap ko si Ellie.

"Sorry Ellie and Luna natagalan ang meeting." Napatingin kami kay Tita Sarah.

"Okay lang po." Ang nasabi ko naman.

"Nagugutom na ba kayo? Gusto niyo ba kumain na muna tayo? Bago tayo pumunta sa bahay?" Nagkatinginan lang kami ni Ellie just like we're waiting for us to answer.

"I think sa bahay na lang tayo kumain? Let's go?" Habang nasa elevator kaming tatlo ay tahimik lang kami.

After 1 hour and 30 mins ng biyahe dumating na kami sa bahay ni Tita Sarah

"Wag kayong mahihiya okay? Tara pasok kayo." Ang sabi samin ni Tita Sarah hindi na ko bago dito dahil nakapunta na ko dito, hindi talaga ito ang totong bahay ni Tita Sarah ang alam ko isa lang to sa mga properties niya.

"Walang gumagamit nito kaya kakapalinis ko pa lang may laman na din yung ref. Minsan lang ako makakauwi dito dahil malayo sa office but promise I'll give everything ng kailangan niyong dalawa Ellie and Luna."

"Mag pre-prepare na ko ng pag-" hindi na natuloy sa pagsasalita si Tita Sarah ng may biglang tumawag sakanya. After a minute ay nag end na din ang call.

"I'm sorry I really need to go back in my office nagkaroon kasi ng problema if Esmeralda and Lizette is here they can help me with this." Lizette is my mom.

"I'm sorry nasabi ko pa yun,  kamukhang kamukha niyo silamlng dalawa." Sabay ni Tita Sarah na hinawakan ang mga pisngi namin ni Ellie.

"You don't need to worry about us Ms.Sarah ako na po magluluto and dito na din po kayo mag dinner." I know she's saying those words to comfort Tita Sarah.

"Thank you Ellie and pleasd from now on can you call me Tita Sarah?"

"O-opo." Binigyan kami ng tig-isang halik ni Tita Sarah bago siya umalis. Pero hindj pa siya nakakalayo ay bumalik agad siya.

"May kasama nga pala ko mamaya makakasama niyo din dito yung ko si Acici.(note: Pronounce as Asisi)" ang habol ni Tita Sarah at tuluyan na siyang umalis.

"You need some help?" Ang tanong ko sakanya this is the first time that I offer a help to someone.

Ellie Leira Ford you are really different with the others that I've met before.

I finally found you.

I finally met you.
