Peridot

BAKIT?

Bakit wala akong jowa?

Bakit wala akong pera?

O, ha! Magka-rhyme 'yan. Hahahaha

Kidding aside.

Bakit? Bakit nga ba Peridot? Bakit nga ba ganoon yung pangalan ng characters?

Ewan ko kung may magbabasa nito dahil nacu-curious ba pero isusulat ko pa rin dito. Ba't ba? Trip ko eh.

So sabi ko nga sa author's note ko sa unahan, I was inspired by August because it's my birthmonth.

That's why I thought that if this story was inspired by a birthmonth, why not base the characters' names by birthstones and months?

Ayan. Alam ko, ang dami kong kaek-ekan pero wala kayong magagawa dahil pabebe ako kaya walang makakapigil sa'kin. Char.

Ito na ngaaaa. Bakit nga ba kasi Peridot?

Syempre po, birthmonth ko nga ang August. Hahahaha.

---Peridot : Hindi ko na sasabihin kung bakit ito yung name kasi redundunt na. Ito na lang. Kung hindi niyo po naitatanong, color light green ang color ng birthstone na ito. But then, the green color's intensity varies according to the amount of iron it contains. Bakit ko sinasabi ito? Wala, share ko lang.

---Augustus : Hindi naman obvious kung bakit Augustus, ano po? HAHAHA. August sana 'yung name but since nasa 1960s yung timeline ng story, Augustus na lang para medyo makaluma.

---Alejandro : From one of June's birthstones, Alejandrite. Isa ring reason bakit ko ito napili ay dahil Alexandrite is often described as emerald by day, ruby by night. Opo, nag-iiba siya ng kulay. Mapagpanggap, kumbaga. Parang si Alejandro, akala mo naman kung mahal niya talaga si Peridot, yun pala---haynako! Grr.

---Esmeralda : Muntik ko nang makalimutan! Hahaha. Esmeralda is my total opposite kaya favorite ko 'tong character na 'to eh. Atapang atao. Going back, I derived Esmeralda from May's birthstone, Emerald.

---Apolo : Ang ulirang ama (sarcastic 'yan) HAHAHA. Apolo is from October's birthstone, Opal. 'Pag binaliktad mo yung Opal, Lapo ang mababasa mo, 'di ba? Hindi ko ganiyan na-derive yung Apolo. Basta kayo na bahala mag-jumble nung letters tas dagdagan niyo ng o sa dulo. Wala na kasi talaga akong maisip na makalumang name kaya medyo malayo na sa name ng birthstone HAHAHA.

---Lola Zircoña : From one of December's birthstones, Zircon.

---Puring : Hindi ko nakuha 'yan mula sa months or birtstones. Trip ko lang gamitin ang name na 'yan. Medyo funny kasi pakinggan hehe.

---Mang Ramon : Hindi ko rin 'to nakuha mula sa birthstones. Mang Ramon ang unang pangalang pumasok sa isip ko that time kaya ganiyan.

So, iyan lang naman ang gusto kong sabihin. I just want to leave these things here because... wala lang ulit. Char. Gusto ko kasing maalala palagi yung details kung paano at bakit ko isinulat ang story na ito.

Uhm... Bye? Hahaha.

Oh, by the way, thank you for reading this story. Thank you for taking time to read this. Thank you po ulit! Hindi ko akalaing darating ang araw na ito na makapagsusulat ako ng isang story. So thank you for reading Peridot's journey.

I know medyo unfortunate and kinahinatnan ng buhay niya. Pero let us always remember that we can't always have a happy ending. And although there may be endings that ended in a tragic way, let us come to reflect that maybe, that was the best way to end their story. That sometimes, death is a blessing in disguise because with this, they had the chance to put an end of their agony and pain.

'Yun lamang po. Have a good life!
