In the end



        Waking up seeing that bright sunlight, the wind blew rushing through my soul, remembering those days I used to caress his head upon my lap. He seemed so warm and alive, back then when he used to cheer everyone around him. But everything changed. Now, all I could see around him are flowers and all things that are white. His face looked so peaceful but everyone had their tears marked on their faces. His mom even got her hanky so wet that it looks like she needs another one. Every person in the area sees this moment sadly. They think of it like it was too early for him to leave everything. On the other hand, they look at it as harmony with God.

          He was my friend, best among everyone else. Time flew and we didn’t realize it could be something more. He was my crush, puppy love, and will always be my first and last love.  He was three years older than I was. We played every single afternoon after class during preschool. He played as the father and me as the mother. And every other child along the neighborhood took part as our children, aunts, grannies, etc.
            When he reached high school, he managed his time just to fetch me up no matter how distant our schools were. And eventually, he graduated.
One cold night, on our way home, I noticed his silence. Believe me, it felt so weird and very unusual. I reached to grab his arm to get him to face me. He was staggering that I didn’t really get what he meant. There were words like “us”, “childhood”, “feelings”, and “I’m very nervous now.” But the only words he said that hasn’t left my mind were, “Be mine.” I was born on the 13th, month of January. He always had a plan that involves everyone in the celebration. But he never fails to tease me every time that date falls on Friday. He was consistently good in irritating me. Despite his annoyance it feels good being with him, always.  On the 14th day of the following month, I finally told him my response and it seemed so official. He held my hand and gave me a card that says, “Happy Valentine’s Day!” For years, we were together.
        At work, my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from his mom. She said that he suddenly passed out immediately after lunch. I rushed to the hospital and heard the doctor talking to his parents. I heard the doctor murmuring something like “cancer”, and something about “dying”. And that he needs to rest, take medications, therapies, etc. Everything went blurry I could not hear anything anymore, their
