I have this girl that I met in the hospital. I bumped her when I am running away to my nurse.

She's wearing a hospital gown like mine. And we're totally stranger.

But the moment I laid my eyes on her, my heart beats so fast.

She's so beautiful like an angel.

The moment she curse because of the pain. The moment I offer my hand to help her. I still remember it all too well.

After that scenario happened, I always visiting her room. And I even asked her name.

“Hi, I'm Troy.” I said. “I'm Cara.” she answered.

And that's how our friendship started. We became the closest friends.

We always spent our time together.

We eat, we play, we listened music, and watched some movies.

“Hoy, akin yang kwek-kwek!” sigaw nito sakin.

“Bawal.” sabi ko.

“I love this music.” bulong nya while listening to earphone.

“Favorite ko 'to e.” bulong ko rin.

We also tell some stories about our lives. At doon ko nalaman that she has leukemia.

“Bakit ka nandito?” tanong ko sakanya.

“Kasi magpapagaling ako.” she answered.

“I mean is anong sakit mo?” tanong kong muli.

“I have lukemia.” malungkot nitong sagot.

She really wants to be cured kasi marami pa syang gustong gawin.

She really want na makaalis sa lugar na 'to.

“Paglabas ko dito, pupunta ako ng dagat at manunuod ako ng sunset.” out of the blue na sabi nya.

“Bakit gusto mo mapanuod ang sunset?” I asked out of curiousity.

“It remind me that there's a beautiful ending.” she answered.

“Marami akong gustong gawin paglabas ko dito, kaya gustong-gusto kong gumaling.” bulong nya ngunit sakto para marinig ko.

“Gagaling ka, gagaling tayo. At sasamahan kita na gawin at puntahan yung mga pangarap mo.” bulong ko rin.

Sumandal lang ito sa aking balikat at pinikit ang kanyang mata na may ngiti sa kanyang labi.

We've been together for almost 3 months and I can't deny to myself that I'm falling in love to her.

I just keep staring on her face. Admiring every corner of it. Appreciating how beautiful she is.

She's very kind and pure hearted person. And that's the reason why I love her so much.

But, I remain silent about my feeling because I don't want to ruin our friendship.

I'm scared that I might lose her and our friendship if I confess my feelings.

Until one day, pagkagising ko sa umaga ay agad akong pumunta sa kwarto nya.

Pagbukas ko sa pinto nito, tumambad sakin ang kama na walang laman.

She's gone.

So, I ran as fast as I can to her doctor and asked where she is.

They said na magaling na ito at umuwi na sa kanilang bahay.

I'm a little bit sad kasi hindi sya nagpaalam, and happy at the same time kasi maayos na sya.

Natupad na yung pangarap nya na makaalis dito, and for sure gagawin na nya yung mga gusto nyang gawin.

And this thought came out of the blue. I promised to her na sasamahan ko sya.

I want to find her. I want to confess my feelings to her. And for me to do it, I need to get out of here.

So, I did everything para gumaling at makalabas sa lugar na ito.

And it all went good, naka-recover ako ng mabilis.

For almost 5 months na pagpapagaling, I finally made it.

Bumalik yung lakas ko, naging maayos ang function ng puso ko.

I'm so happy that finally makakalabas na ako dito. And I will find her.

The moment I stepped out my feet on the outside of the hospital.

I can't stop myself to smile as wide as i can. Para akong nakatakas sa hawla.

So the first thing I did is to find my girl. Pinuntahan ko yung address na nakuha ko sa hospital.

Kinuha ko 'to nung araw na nalaman kong nakalabas na sya.

Habang papalapit ako sa lugar nila, I can't understand my feelings.

I am happy, yet nervous and sad. I don't know why, it's weird.

The moment I stepped out from the car. My heart beats so fast, as if it is the first time na mami-meet ko sya.

Well, it's been almost 5 months nung huli kaming magkita kaya natural lang na makaramdam ng kaba.

Pinindot ako ang doorbell nila at naghintay pa ng ilang minuto bago ako pagbuksan.

Bumungad sakin ang mama nya.

“Troy, is that you?” tanong nya ng makalapit sakin.

“Yes po, tita.” I said and smile to her.

“Kailan ka pa nakalabas ng hospital?” tanong nito muli ng tuluyang mabuksan ang gate.

“Ngayon lang po, and dito na ako dumiretso.” I answered.

“Pasok ka.” sabi nito at sumunod na ako sa kanya.

Pag pasok ko sa kanilang bahay ay bumungad sakin ang mga picture nila.

And then I saw my girl. I saw her face on the the picture, her smile. I really missed her.

“Kumusta ka?” tanong sakin ni tita.

“I'm fine na po, tita.” I answered. “Um, where is Cara po?” I asked.

Yung masaya nyang mukha ay agad napalitan ng lungkot at pangungulila.

She looked at me with her teary eyes. Naguguluhan ako.

“Cara didn't make it, Troy.” she said.

“Tita, naguguluhan po ako.” sabi ko sakanya.

Agad nag unahang bumagsak ang luha ni tita.

Hinawakan nya ang dalawa kong kamay.

“Iniwan na nya tayo.” bulong nya.

I suddenly feel pain inside my chest.

It can't be happen. Sabi nya magpapagaling sya.

My tears startes to fall. Ayaw mag sink in sa utak ko yung nalaman ko.

I feel numb, wala akong maramdaman. My hands are shaking.

Nasaktan ako nung umalis sya ng walang paalam sa hospital.

Pero mas lalo akong nasaktan ngayong nalaman ko na umalis sya at hindi na muling babalik.

“Troy, remember the day na nawala sya sa hospital?” tanong ni tita.

I just nodded because I can't speak. All I can do is to sob.

“It was her last day, and she wants to watch sunset bago sya malagutan ng hininga.” sabi ni tita.

“She wants to be with you that time, pero ayaw ka nyang masaktan.” she added.

“May pangako daw kasi kayo sa isa't isa na magpapagaling kayo at papanuorin ang sunset ng magkasama.”

“But she watched it alone kasi hindi naman na daw sya gagaling.”

I cried so loud. Sobra akong nasasaktan sa mga nalalaman ko.

“Mahal ka nya, Troy. And gusto nya na magpagaling ka at tuparin yung pangarap nyong dalawa.” bulong ni tita.

If I have the guts to confess my feelings to her, edi sana nalaman nya yung totoong nararamdaman ko.

I'm so stupid for being a coward.

Now, I lost her. I lost her forever and I don't have any chance to confess my feelings.

Akala ko magkakasama na ulit kami. Akala ko tutuparin na namin yung pangarap namin ng magkasama.

Akala ko sabay kaming manunuod ng sunset sa tabing dagat.

But I was wrong, dahil nahuli na ako. Huli na ng dating.

Our ending is not like sunset. It's not that beautiful but it's so painful.

Iniwan na nya ako. Naiwan nanaman ako.

I lost my girl. I lost my Cara.

Hindi lahat ng katapusan ay kasing ganda ng araw na papalubog sa karagatan.

Dahil may mga katapusana masakit, puro luha at pangungulila.
