“BREAK UP LETTER 18 TAON NA ANG NAKAKARAAN, NATAGPUAN SA LOOB NG ISANG BOTE SA OZAMIZ CITY, MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL
“Ibabaon ko na sa lupa ang alaala mo. Kahit ilang taon pa ang magdaan, I’m sure ‘di ito mawawala ‘pag ‘di rin nawawala ang feelings ko sa’yo. I love you and goodbye.” – Liham ni Shiela para kay Lorben (June 29, 2004)
“Naglilinis ako nu’n ng bakuran namin.
Habang nagbubungkal ako at kumukuha ng malalaking bato, may napansin akong basag na bote.
Sa loob, may papel na nakatali ng ribbon.
Nu’ng una, akala ko wedding invitation.
‘Yun pala, break up letter ni Shiela para kay Lorben.
Sinusubukan palang ibaon ni Shiela ‘yung damdamin at alaala ni Lorben.
Na-curious ako.
Ano kaya ang kuwento nina Shiela at Lorben?
Almost 18 years na rin ang nakakaraan.
Kumusta na kaya sila ngayon?
Pinost ko ‘to, hoping na may nakakakilala sa kanila.
Sana umabot ‘to sa kanila.”
-Christian”
