Memories

I still remember the day Eris and I grow apart from each other.

The reason why he hated me that much and turned into someone who's not completely him.

Loathed me by the fact that he's being aloof, heartless, insensitive, distant, emotionless and unconcerned from my personal standpoint.

We're like thick as thieves when at the age of six. He's considerate, gentle, affectionate and soft-hearted on me better than I do.

He's like a brother who will protect you from any harm, friend that you can run and asked for a shoulder to cry on, and a boyfriend that will love you unconditionally.

Those blast from the past are fresh from my mind and it's impossible for me to neglect every single of the circumstances.

From the day he left me, to the phase our puppy love come to an end.

It started the day after his 7th birthday. Hindi ko alam na aalis sila sa Batangas at lilipat ng Manila. Nalaman ko lang sa Mama n'ya ang tungkol doon.

Tita was thought Eris already been mentioned about this pero hindi. Nagtampo ako n'on kay Eris dahil hindi ko man lang alam. Hindi n'ya ako sinabihan kahit alam n'yang ako 'yung pinaka-apektado kapag umalis s'ya.

We're kids back then but Eris behaviour is already matured, especially the way he thinks. Maybe the reason why he didn't tell me is for my own sake also. He didn't want me to become lonely and sad that day because it was my father's birthday.

Pero gaya ng dati, hindi ako nakinig sa explanation n'ya. My mind and ears are closed for his reason and apologies. That was the time that I'm barking up the wrong tree, I made the wrong choice.

Halos hindi ko na s'ya kausapin n'on. Pumupunta s'ya sa bahay araw araw, dala yung paborito naming candies pero hindi ako lumalabas ng kwarto para harapin s'ya.

Kapag umalis na s'ya pagkatapos ng ilang oras na paghihintay sa salas namin, I tend to cry. Kinausap ako ni Mama na magbati na kami ni Eris dahil huling araw na 'yon ng pagpunta n'ya pero matigas ako, hindi ko pa rin s'ya kinausap n'on.

And then, it happened. It's exactly 4 in the afternoon, they squirreled away. Lumabas ako ng kwarto n'on pero huli na ang lahat.

Nadatnan ko na lang na sarado na ang bahay nila at wala na sila Eris. Umiyak na naman ako at sinisisi ko ang sariling katangahan kung bakit nagmatigas ako at hindi nagpaalam.

Hanggang sa makita ko 'yung pendant ng moon na binigay ko sa kan'ya noong birthday n'ya. Mas lalo akong naiyak habang pinupulot ko 'yon sa lupa.

I guess he's that mad because he throw away the gift I send to him. The last present I will give him upon the following years.

Pero nawala rin naman ang tampo ko noong umalis sina Eris after one day. Humiram ako kay Mama noon ng cellphone pero limited lang ang paggamit ko. Doon kami madalas mag-usap.

Hinahayaan naman ako ni Mama and that was the happiest day ever that happened again. Having communication with the boy you value the most, that's all I wanted.

In a couple of years, tumatanda na kami at 12 years old ako noon nang matutong gumamit ng cellphone, which is touchscreen.

Hindi ako pinagamit agad ni Mama dahil pinagfocus n'ya muna ako sa studies. While Eris got his phone at the age of 10. Hindi naman na ako nagtaka noon because he was smart and someone who is regarded having highly intelligence.

Marami kaming pinagkwentuhan n'on. We're talking using video calls and such.

Hanggang sa maging Grade 9 students na kaming dalawa. Mas naging matured na si Eris n'on, so am I.
