Last Touch
“Ate ingat. Mag-online ka palagi ha.”“Oo, everyday basta pag may free time ako. Delayed nga ang flight namin eh… eleven pa. gutom at antok na nga ako eh.”
“Oo nga daw. Tulog ka na lang sa flight.”

No, this one was not a “real” conversation. This was my last text exchange with Ate this morning.
I feel sad somehow. I feel sad and lonely because I wasn’t able to say good bye to her. I wasn’t able to catch her last night because i had difficulty getting a ride home. Nagkasalisi na kami sa daan.
Thus, no hug, no kiss. No last touch. No nothing.
Even when Ate and I barely see each other during weekdays (she leaves early and arrives home early; while I stay up late, wake up late and arrive home very late), that doesn’t mean we have no sisterly bond. It is there and we know it.
While I know we can get to chat as often, somehow, it still feels rather different. There is but an unexplainable void.
I look forward to chatting with her soon. Then, maybe then, this feeling of inner abyss will fade away.

Q: have you had any similar experience where you had no chance of saying goodbye to a loved one?

Aww. Sana nga maka-chat mo siya soon. Thank God for the internet!
oo nga, xtianne. i can't wait til she finally gets online at ym. til now, she does not have a sim except for a Smart Roaming, which has a text-only feature. that's why i still haven't talked to her. but we do text each other.
but you are right, thank God for the internet. i'm planning to have a broadband installed at home too, para somehow, ma-lessen yung loneliness nya and she'll get to see Gelo and the rest of us as often as we want.
Have had similar experiences and they were all painful and part of my "what if" moments ...
It will get better in time though ... the pain and loneliness will go away ...
yeah, it does Kay. :) had the chance to talk to her finally. we are glad she's doin great there.
