Organized Chaos

I was born on November 1, 1991, and it was always celebrated at the cemetery. To some kid, they might say it was quite a boring and simple party, but it’s not! Honestly, I’m having fun! Ahm… No! I’m having a blast!

And it was November 1, 1998, and I was very excited because I will celebrate my 7^th birthday, again, at the burial ground. I don’t know why some children are afraid to go at the cemetery; I think that’s the only thing that makes me differ from the other youngster. I learn to cast away my fears on ghosts and monsters that olden times invented.

However, my family came up to a routine on bringing some picnic stuffs such as tents, blanket, foods and more foods ha-ha!! This is another unforgettable moment again for me. How I just wish that my grandma is still alive so that we would have a complete gaiety…

After instant merienda, I take a tour on the entire cemetery, wishing that I can find someone to play with. Then all of a sudden, I met Angel, she was a cute gal, with a long hair and gorgeous smile. This might be love I guess… So, we talk and talk like there’s no tomorrow. I don’t know why I felt that way. It seems we knew each other over a long period of time because we get closer and closer in every single word we uttered.

From that moment, I already have my girlfriend and we create vows that every November we will meet again on the same time, same place. And we separated our path because it’s getting dark and I need to go.

I’m so happy! I can’t forget that girl, she’s extraordinary, and she’s here in my heart… Our promise to each other is all my mind can sense… I love her so much…Patiently, I wait for that special day of my girl; I can’t wait for a long time. I need to see her everyday because she’s the reason I smile.

My dad went to my bedroom and he said that he has some good news. He mentioned that we will migrate from the U.S. and we will live there for good. Instead of being happy, I just kept my mouth shut; the first thing that comes in my mind is how can I see Angel again? Is this the end of the world between her and me? How about our oath to one another?!

Since I have nothing to do, I just obeyed their order; I just felt I lost some part of my body, my heart! I’m so upset with my dad, my mom, and all of the people around me!!! They don’t know how much I love Angel. They don’t understand me!

I grew up in Pittsburg, California, and I didn’t notice that I transformed myself already to the person that is stranger to me. I don’t really know myself at all. I learned to be a freak, to play on girls, and I slowly forget Angel as well.

Accidentally, my father died, so we need to take flight back to the Philippines, therefore, I make up my mind. The young child I portray then was reborn. I realized that Angel will be the only girl that I’ll wait walking in the aisle and will be my wife dwelling in one roof with our offspring.

When I landed in NAIA, it was by chance that the date was my birthday so I quickly went at the cemetery and seek for Angel. But when I got there, I didn’t see her! So I cried, thinking that Angel got mad at me because 10 years had passed since our promises turned in vain. I was so guilty that I broke our vows! I hate myself!!!

Then suddenly, in front of me, I saw an epitaph just like this:

Waaaa!!!! It was the date when I met her! With my shock, I run as fast as I could. I realize that Angel was dead the first time I saw her. And in my trauma, I don’t ever return in that cemetery again. I just prayed for her soul, it was said that Angel was killed by his father so I guess that’s the reason why she can’t still escape the world of the mortals. Perhaps, she wants to earn justice. So, look at your back, there is Angel! Seeking for help! Awooo! ♥☺♥
