Novel & Cerita Message For Departed Loved Ones

Tinitigan ko ang huling mensahe niya kagabi na puno ng mga pa-fall na salita. Nanginginig ang aking mga daliri, pero bawat letra ay itinanim ko ng may kasamang matinding galit. Nag-type ako ng isang solong pangungusap ang mensahe na alam kong magiging huling tuldok sa kung ano mang mayroon kami. “Don't ever contact me again.”

Gratitude is a salve for the wounds of parting, a recognition of the positive impact the person has had on our lives. Letting go is an intricate dance between holding on to the essence of what was and allowing space for new beginnings. It involves acknowledging the pain of parting while recognizing the potential for growth and renewal. In the farewell moment, there may be words left unsaid and emotions left unspoken. It's a time to reflect on the depth of unexpressed feelings and, perhaps, find solace in the silent understanding that transcends language. The moment of saying goodbye to a loved one encapsulates the rich tapestry of human emotions—love, loss, gratitude, and hope. It is a remin

Pero sa tingin ko malabo nang mangyari 'yon. "For my beloved wife, wherever you are right now, I hope you're in a peaceful place and in good hands. Happy 28th wedding anniversary in heaven, my love. It’s been a tough and heartbreaking year without you by our side, but I’m holding on... for our child, because I have to. When you passed away, it felt like a part of me died too, because you were my life..." Hindi ko na kayang pakinggan ang mga sinasabi ni Dad—sobra na akong nasasaktan dahil doon.

You're almost out of time, this time tomorrow I'll be able to send pretty flowers for your funeral. Mariing napa pikit si Izzy matapos mabasa iyon, hindi niya na malaman kung maka ilang ulit niya nang pinasadahan ng basa ang message na iyon pati na rin ang naunang mensaheng natanggap niya kagabi.

Bumuntonghininga ako para hindi ako mawala sa huwestiyo. "Naiintindihan ko po kayo. Dahil naranasan ko rin pong iwan ng taong mahal ko at mahalaga sa buhay ko. Na alam kong hindi na babalik kahit hilingin ko man sa langit. Natuto akong tanggapin iyon at alam kong matutunan rin po ninyo iyon, not now but soon. Condolence po sa inyo at sa buong pamilya niyo," pilit nagpakahinahon kong sabi sa kaniya.

Sumunod ito sa kanila. ___________________________________________________________________________ "The distance is unusual and the separation cruel. But real love never fades and I ultimately be by your side." Send. Ngumiti si Z ng maipadala ang kaniyang mensahe sa kaniyang asawa. Tila nanliligaw siya. Ngayon pa lang niya naramdaman ang makilig at makornihan sa kaniyang mensahe. "Tama ba iyung ipinadala ko." Napailing siya. "Ano ba itong ginagawa ko?" Tinitigan muli ni Z ang screen ng kaniyang cellphone. Nais niyang i-unsent ang kaniyang ipinadalang mensahe. Pipisilin na niya sana ang 'delete for everyone' ng may nagpakita ng mensahe galing sa kaniyang asawa.

I'm so sorry for the misfortune. Please heal your wounds, Princess. Please make your scar be a reminder of how strong you are. Daddy wished to be with you all the way but I can feel my time is near. I am reaching my end. But I am happy reaching my end this way. It is such a beautiful journey because you were with me till the last days. Thank you for the time, Sweetheart. Thank you for all the sacrifices. I promise you that I will never stop loving you. I will continue watching from the moon. If it happen that you miss Daddy, just look up and know that I am up there watching you.

Humugot muna siyang malalim na hininga para kalmahin ang sarili saka siya nagtipa ng reply sa mensahe nito. ‘Wish you all the best in life too. And thank you… for being a good friend. Though you may wish we never cross paths again in the future, I pray we will cross our paths again. Because I would be happy to see you raising your very own child. Love, Emory.’ --

[Melancholy background music] Sementeryo, tahimik na nakatayo si Atasha sa harap ng nitsyo ng kaniyang yumaong ama habang pinagmamasdan ang litrato nito na nakangiti. "Hi, Dad. I'm sorry at ngayon lang tayo nagkatagpo. It took me 26 years bago po tayo nagkita. Ni hindi ko po kayo nasilayan nung nabubuhay pa kayo. Siguro po ang saya-saya niyo po nung lumabas ako. Mom said that you personally decorated my room before I came. I love you, Dad. I miss you," daing niya as she is full of regrets for not being with him when he was still alive.

Medyo malungkot si Sol ng ihatid siya nito sa airport pero, wala siyang magagawa kundi suportahan na lang ang fiance' niya katulad ng pag suporta nito sa kan'ya mula noon. "Bye love! Always take care of yourself. I will miss you." wika niya na nagpipigil maiyak dahil baka hindi na maka alis si Sol kapag ginawa niya 'yon. "Likewise love. Pag pwede kang mag bakasyon sabihan mo lang ako ha." bilin nito bago pumasok sa departure area.
