Novel & Cerita Message For A Friend Who Passed Away

Biglang may pumasok na notification sa cellphone ko. Unknown number. Binuksan ko iyon At nang mabasa ko ang message, nanlamig ang dugo ko. "You're too late, Steve." Tinitigan ko ang screen. Then another message appeared. "Just like you were the night her father died." Huminto ang paghinga ko. No one was supposed to know that. No one. Maya-maya, dumating ang final message. "This time, you won't get a second chance to save her."

We were already at the museum of broken relationships, and our co-workers were fond of the things that were displayed in the museum. One caught my attention, and it is a red ribbon. My heart started to twitch as I read what the letter from the owner had said. Dearest Imelda, You passed away that day, and all I could do was watch you as snow continued to shower over you. My heart aches knowing that I will never see you again in this life. I want you to know how much you meant to me and how much those memories still haunt me. I left you without a reason, and I know it hurts you.

Dear Janice/Best/Best friend, Siguro nagka-ayos na kayo ni Tita Fely,sinabi ko kasi sa kanya na ibigay itong sulat ko kapag naka uwi ka na sa inyo. Una sa lahat, gusto kong magpasalamat na ikaw ang naging best friend ko, alam mo na iyon kung bakit. Ha ha ha. Don't cry please? Alam kong malakas ka pero iyakin ka pagdating sakin. . I love you best. . so much. I'm sorry kung wala ako noong mga panahon na kailangan mo ako. I'm sorry kung hindi kita tinulungan. I'm sorry best. . Gulong-gulo kasi ako noon e. May sakit kasi ako. May stage 3 brain cancer. Hindi ko sinabi sayo kasi marami ka rin problema.

The hot liquid run through my throat, blessing my cold stomach and my nose with its fragrant aroma. Inilapag ko ito sa coffee table na nasa harapan ko. "It's already been a month since the funeral but Miss, you should rest even just for a day." Audrey repeated as she pour another batch of the tea to my cup. So, it's already been a month. The death of my friend was announced as a case closed. I look at my desk where papers about my works piled up. Isa sa mga ito ang white envelop na nakapatong sa pinakataas ng kabundok na papeles na iyon.

Nakalipas na ang ilang araw wala man lang siya natanggap na mensahe mula rito mukhang kinalimutan na siya nito. Nasa private cemetery siya ngayon, naisipan niyang dalawin ang ate niya. Nasa harap na siya ng puntod ni ate Maddie niya tanging nagawa lang niya ay umiyak. "I'm sorry, Ate and I miss you," umiiyak na usal niya. "I'm sorry because I fell in love with the man you loved before you died and to the father of your child."

“Oh, stop praising me on your head. I already sent it. Bye!” Napailing na lang siya. Malakas talaga ang pakiramdam ng kaniyang kaibigan. Kahit hindi siya nito nakikita, nalalaman nito ang iniisip niya. Siguro, psychic ito noong nakaraang buhay nito. Madali niyang binuksan ang message na ipinadala nito. Agad niyang tinawagan ang numero ni Macy. “Hello . . . ?” anang babae sa kabilang linya.

A bitter laugh escaped my lips. What a cruel lesson. To finally understand someone's worth after they're gone. My phone vibrated. A message from an unknown number. For a second, my heart leaped. Liam? No. Just a marketing advertisement. I laughed again. This time at myself. How pathetic had I become? Waiting for a message that would never come.

Lumuhod ang babae sa harap ko at nabigla talaga ako sa kanyang inakto. “Miss, tulungan mo ako! Helper ang kapatid ko sa mansiyon ng mga Cornell. May pinadala siyang mensahe sa akin at pagkatapos niyon ay wala na akong nabalitaan tungkol sa kanya. Nalaman ko na lang na namatay siya sa sunog…” Nagkatinginan kami ni Josh.

Anastacia habang papalapit ito sa kinaroroonan namin. "I’m not sure what to say in the face of such a difficult loss. But I just want you to know that I care about you, and I share in your grief. My deepest sympathy for your loss dear. I know, my good friend Sylvia is in the good hands of our creator now. Please know that from now on, you can lean on me, I promise to be with you whenever you need me. I always make sure to keep you in my warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time—and wish you hope and healing when you’re ready," she added while gently holding Ariah’s hands.

Kahit noong burol ay hindi sila pumunta. Imposible naman na hindi nila nakita ang mensahe ko. Friends kami sa f******k kaya babalandra ang message ko sa inbox nila. Isa pa ay nakikita ko pa nga na active sila sa f******k pero kahit seen o condolence ay hindi nila magawa man lang. Nakakatampo. Siguro ay pag nalaman ni inay ang mga bagay na ito ay malulungkot siya. Sino ba naman kasi ang hidi kapag ganyan ang ginagawa sa iyo ng mga kapatid mo.
