Epilogue
Speaker phone: Ciao là, sono attualmente dalla casa così soddisfo il permesso il vostro messaggio ed otterrò indietro su voi quando ottengo domestico. Lotti di amore!
Hey sweetheart! Its been a long time-Mom!Oh? I thought you were out of the house dahil speaker sumagot sa akin?I'm packing my things that's why I didn't answered after a few rings. How are you?Packing your things for what? May town trip kami somewhere here lang. I see. Did you brought your meds? How about some mosquito cream? O-Mom!Okay.. Enough said! By the way, I called cause sabi ng Kuya mo di ka na raw tumatawag sa kanya?I tried to call him last Tuesday but after a dozen rings, he didn't picked it up.He has graveyard shift on Tuesday darling! Alam mo naman ang time interval dba?Oh God! I forgot mom. Sorry. But don't you worry, in a while I'll call him.You must okay? Malapit na ang birthday ng Kuya mo and he misses you much.Opo, I'll call him. By the way mom, send my regards to pops and dad okay? I miss you all there!I told you kasi na umuwi ka na dito eh, ayaw mo naman. Kung bibisita rin kami diyan a-Ma! We already talked about this dba? I'm already 22 so don't treat me like a baby na.O sige na nga. I have to go cause pupunta pa ako sa wedding ng Tita Rita mo. Okay! I love you sweetheart and we miss you so much.I miss you too.Ha caduto la linea ed ho disposto il telefono vicino alla televisione e- Wait! Why am I narrating in Italian? AGAIN!
Okay, now let me start all over again. Siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit tumawag si mommy and telling me na umuwi na ako and all at tsaka why I am speaking in Italian. It's beacause I've been living here sa Italy for 6 years now..
Yes, 6 years of being an Italian living girl. After nung engagement party sa Philippines way back forth year graduation eh dumeretsyo agad kami ni Jamir sa Italy at pinakilala niya ako sa family niya. I must say they are really a royal family full of happiness pero....
I said no to the marriage.
Yes, I said no to our marriage. Everybody was shocked with my decision since engage na nga kami nun pero later on, I realized kahit gaano man kaganda manirahan sa isang palasyo at mabuhay na kasama ang mahal mo and not to mention isa pang prince.. Iba parin ang mamuhay ng simple, normal at puno ng freedom.
I grabbed my phone and hinananap yung name ni Kuya sa phonebook. Nung nakita ko na eh, tinawagan ko agad. Umabot ako ng 5 rings at pag 5th ring nga eh, sinagot niya na. First, silence filled the line pero nagsalita din siya.
Yo! Buti naman you decided to call me back after a few weeks of not speaking to you dba?Ito naman, tampo agad! I've been really busy scouting for a new condo and you know that.Di mo parin sinasabi kila Tita noh?His right, di ko pa nga sinasabi since ayokong magfreak out sila. I remember na once I decided to switch into another condo, sinabi nila bibili raw agad sila ng ticket so they could help me kaya nga di ako naka change nun eh. So I decided wag muna sabihin sa kanila.
You know them Kuya. Magfrefreak out si mommy and worst, lilipad pa yun papunta dito.Bakit ba kasi lilipat ka pa ng condo sis? Ang layo nga kasi sa work ko kung dito ako titira and besides, kung lilipat ako dun sa 4th street eh, kasama ko na si Solangee and mas madali na kasi kasama ko siya if ever we have stuffs to do dba?Okay fine.. You win! But promise me sasabihin mo sa kanila if nakalipat ka na, okay?I will, don't worry!Biglang natahimik yung line kasi may kinuha ata si Kuya at nung bumalik siya sa phone eh parang ang heavy ng paghinga niya. Tapos may narinig pa akong parang may nahulog ata. Ang gulo sa kabilang line actually.
Sorry for that.. It's okay..Sis.. I miss you already!You don't have any idea how homesick I am. It's been 6 years already.....and you don't have any plans to go back?Not yet, alam mo namang may 2 taon pa ako dito dba? I still have my job, my friends here and of course...Jamir's memory?Kuya!Alam ko you haven't moved on pa and you always tell me na parati kayong naguusap every Friday ni Lucas.. I understand you Jara.I think you really do.Tumahimik ulit yung line and at this point I felt warm water running down my eyes and I know it was tears. Tears of pain, happiness and also dahil sa hindi pa nga ako totally naka move on. I know it was my decision and it was for the better. Someday, maiintindihan rin to ng puso ko..
Okay, I think I have to go. Gee is waiting for me and I don't wanna be late. Send my hug to Zara! I miss you all.Sis..Yeah?I love you okay?I love you too kuya.After nun eh na cut na yung line and I found myself starring at my wallpaper. Yeah, it's me and Jamir back when we were still together. Wala akong dapat pagsisihan dahil desisyon ko lahat at natangap naman niya yun eh. Para rin to sa akin.
Nung paglabas ko ng condo ko eh, nilock ko na siya at iniwan ko na yung susi dun sa front desk dahil nga lilipat na ako. Pinakuha ko sa mga taga Help Me Pack guys and if your asking sino sila, sila yung mga workers sa company na yun. Kung sa Philippines pa eh Lipat Bahay ang tawag.
Nung paglabas ko nung building eh tiningnan ko ito from first to the 37th floor. I'll miss this place dahil marami narin ako naging memories diyan like when Chloe and Mitch visited me here last year and sa place ko sila nagstay for 2 weeks. Tsaka yung pagvisit ng NRS friends ko.
If your asking kung anong status na nila Chloe and the gang ngayon eh, okay naman ang college life nila. Ang nagaaral nalang eh si Mitch at Diane dahil kumuha sila ng 7 year course. Si Karl, naghihintay nalang ng board exam para maging legal architect na. Si Chloe naman ang nagmamanage ng business ng mommy niya na isang boutique.
Nung paglingon ko sa likod ko eh nagulat ako sa nakita ko. There's this 5'9 guy standing infront of me wearing a leather jacket and matching leather shoes. Nakatingin siya sa akin at naka todo smile pa. And this guy is...
Lucas.
What are you doing here? It's not Friday.So ma ho sentito la vostra vita questo posto.[I know but I heard your living this place.]
Yeah and I'm gonna live on 4th street starting now.E dimenticherete le memorie qui?[And you'll forget the memories here?]
Of course not. I will treasure all of it here.. in my heart.Come circa il tipo la vostra comunicazione con ora?[How about the guy your talking to now?]
Tiningnan ko siya from head to toe at napansin kong nakalagay yung hands niya sa loob ng pocket ng jacket niya at naka smile naman siya sa akin. Inulit ko siguro yung paghead to toe sa kanya ng tatlong times at grinab ko yung arm niya.
Let's go and have some snack!We did as I said pero syempre pumunta muna kami dun sa new condo ko sa 4th street and iniwan yung stuffs ko sa loob ng condo and I got the keys and paid the first three months. I've been looking for a good condo for months and ang napili ko ay yung sa Twinkle Town sa 4th street.
After leaving Twinkle Town dumeretsyo kami ni Lucas sa Consumo di Verdure, a vegetarian restaurant. Kumain kami dun at nagusap about alot of things. Things about him and his girlfriend, the palace people and of course his brother...
Jamir.
So how is he?Suo che fanno benissimo ma il suo sempre occupato perché il dad lo desidera andare a Londra per una certa accoglienza della stampa e lui non desiderano a ma non ha alcun'opzione.[His doing fine but his always busy because dad wants him to go to London for some press coverage and he doesn't want to but he doesn't have any option.]
Give him some good sights and feedbacks about London so he'll change his mind and will look forward about going there.Napatingin sa akin si Lucas that time at tumigil siya sa pagkain. Nagtaka naman ako kung bakit ganun nalang yung pag respong niya sa sinabi ko. Wala naman akong sinabi na masama or rude dba? Or did I said something na masama or rude?
What?Vostro realmente sappia incitare il mio fratello a cambiare idea Risse.[Your really know how to make my brother change his mind Risse.]
I guess I really do and... it hurts.Ancora lo amate?[You still love him?]
Nagnod ako at tumingin lang sa left side ko and napansin ko na may police na tinutulungan yung mga bata na magcross ng street.
Perchè non-[Why don't you-]
I don't want to cause I want to stand up all alone. I want to prove everybody I'm not a little girl anymore and I want freedom Lucas and you know it.Ma se cambiate idea mai...[But if ever you change your mind...]
Hinawakan niya yung kamay ko that time and I remembered Jamir from the look in Lucas' eyes. They both have same eye color but mas dark and expressive kay Jamir and mas longer din ang wavey brown hair ni Jamir compared to his older brother and I know... deep inside me, it's still him from the very start.
... Jamir è ancora aperto averlo indietro.
After nung sinabi sa akin ni Lucas na Jamir still is open to have you back and also, ang dad nila. Napalapit na sa akin ang family ni Jamir kaya naman it's not easy to move on and I won't forget them also pero my decision of not living with them is final and ayokong magkaroon ng obligation sa bansang Italy. I am better off being a ordinary person.
Lumabas na ako ng resto at dumeretsyo sa garden na katabi nito. Naalala ko ito yung place kung saan kami parati ni Jamir at yung bench na inuupuan ko ang bench na parati naming inuupuan. 50% of my memories are made up with Jamir and I hope....
Posso lasciarlo tutto dietro.
****
That's it! Looks like di pa siya tapos? YOUR RIGHT! Why? Dahil may sequel din ito BUT iba na ang magiging title, yung characters eh di na sila Zen pero nandun parin si Jara, Lucas and new peepz. Location? LA MIA ITALIA CARA.
Yes, Italy na ang location ng ******* ****(yan yung title) and Italy is the place where Jara or shall I call Risse will find a new love and will go through alot of trials. Don't worry.. Yung lead sa sequel nito eh sure na na hindi po niya kapaitd. HARHAR.
So, hope you guys enjoyed this and abangan ang sequel sa 1st week ng June MAYBE. <3
Thanks alot for reading the first part of the story entitled ZENsitized. Mwah.
