>> Year 2001 <<

(TOP POV)

I stood there by my doorstep and watched her walk away. Tears flowed from my face seeing her go but I didn’t dare stop her.

“TOP, I’m leaving for good. My parents have decided to live in America.” She told me.

“What? You’re not coming back?” I asked, tears welling up my eyes.

“I don’t know. Maybe.”

“What about me? You’re leaving me…”

“I have no choice. They are my family now. I have to go”

I couldn’t talk anymore… I wanted to stop her and let her stay by my side but I can’t go against her family. What could a 14-year old boy do?

“TOP, I’ll never forget you. I’ll come back for you”

“Bom…” I held and caressed her face. “You’re one person I could never forget. I’ll wait for you”

With that, I let her go… My heart hurt but I’ll remain strong and wait for her return. Our promise to love each other shall withstand any trials and last a lifetime.

And then, she left…

 I missed her since that day…

 We keep in touch through e-mail and often phone calls but I still longed to see her face. How I wish to see her again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s been 4 months since she left for the States but our communication suddenly stopped. I wondered why she hasn’t been responding to my mails and answer my calls. I always lied to myself thinking she’s just busy with her studies and is too tired to send me a message or a phone call. I patiently waited for her response since I never stopped doing my part.

I opened my computer one day to check my mail. Finally, a message from her. The message I waited for so long to receive had come.

I never expected though that what it contained would cause the end of the life inside of me.

I’m not coming back. I’m so sorry TOP. I love you but I’m letting go.

Tears escaped my eyes for she just said goodbye… I don’t know what to do. I refuse to believe what I’ve just read. I ran away as fast as I can. I wanted to clear my head and erase the thought of that message in my mind.

I cried non-stop as my feet raced along the road. Bom, why?! I wanted to scream out all the hurt I’m feeling in my heart. I kept running but I don’t know where I’m heading. All I know is that I wanted to escape and wake up from this nightmare.

…until a blinding light took my consciousness.
