The Last Wish

Visit

I was awakened by the tickle in

my neck. That is my tickling spot and the culprit is none other than my brother.

"Rise and shine, little sis," he said while smiling at me. He was looking fresh because of his flowered polo shirt and shorts. It is simple but he looks handsome.

"Yes, I am handsome, little. Thank you for the compliment. hahaha," he said freshly. As if he read what is in my mind. I furrowed my eyebrows

"Of course you are not kuya. Leonardo De Caprio is handsome than you." I teased him.

"Whatever," he said and rolled his eyes like a woman. I just laughed at him." Get up. We will go somewhere." he said.

"Where?" I retorted

"Secret. Just prepare yourself. Mom and dad will be with us too. Just go downstairs if you are done little sis so that we can eat our breakfast." he said and went outside my room.

I was wearing my white trouser paired with white sleeveless and denim jacket and my white sneakers for my footwear. I looked myself in the mirror and ponytailed my hair.

My mom prepared garlic fried rice, sunny side up egg, and hotdogs. She prepared milk for me as well.

kuya Chester was driving his car silently. I turned on the radio and follow the beat of the music.

"You have a bad voice little sis. You'll destroy our eardrums. " he mocked me and laughed. Mom and dad laughed at me as well. I pout.

"I hate you kuya," I said.

"hahaha. Just kidding little sis. of course you have this golden voice like me. hahaha," he said jokingly. After an hour he stopped the car in front of the cemetery. "City Garden Memorial Cemetery "

I looked at them and they just smiled at them. It's been a long time that I visited here. 2 years. I guess. I sighed deeply. Mom tapped on my shoulder.

In Everloving memory of

Carissa Marie Smith

March 23, 1992 - May 15, 2017

Dad put the flower on her graveyard. It is almost 4 years ago but everything is still fresh in my mind.

Flashback

"Meana, I have something to give you. I'm sure that you like it." Carissa said while smiling at her younger sister.

"Oh, really? " she exclaimed excitedly.

"Tsarannnnnnn," Carissa said and handed her the book that she wants to buy but unfortunately, she didn't have enough money.

"Wowwww. It is beautiful, ate Carrie. Thank you. I love you." she said happily and hugged her sister. "You are the best sister ever." she exaggeratedly

"Of course, I am because I am the only sister that you have," Carissa said and they laughed together.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you." Carissa said to her. Carissa pampered her. She gives everything that she wants. They are close to each other. Carissa is 5 years older than her.

"Ate, I want to eat Carbonara. Can you do it for me? please," she said

Carissa pinched her cheeks." Sure, missy. Come on. Help me prepare the ingredients that we need."

Fionna happily helps her elder sister preparing the ingredients that they need.

"How are you, sweetie?" Carissa asked her while making the sauce of the Carbonara.

"I am fine, ate. But you know what? It is hard in College than in high school. I have to exert more effort and study hard ate so that I'll be like you. " she said enthusiastically

"Well, that is life. But just continue your journey. I know you can. You are intelligent than me. And of course beautiful like me.hahaha." she said and laughed.

A few moments later they eat the Carbonara.

"Ate, it's delicious. You are the best chef ever." She said

" Tsk of course. hahaha. You a good flatterer little sis. Just eat. Don't worry. I'll cook food your favorite every day." she said.

"Really? They. I love you ate." she said and again she hugged her sister tightly.

Carissa is a Chef in one of the restaurants in their place but she builds her restaurant and it is under construction.

"I'll go to the construction site. Do you want to come with me? "

"Sure ate. "

"Finish your food first and we will go. I'll just in my room to change."

"Okay ate."

There are a lot of moments that I miss about ate.

"Ate, how are you? I hope you are fine in heaven. I miss you."

Then, my tears began to fall from my eyes.

Mom hugged me and caressed my hair. I know she is in pain as well but she tried to hide it from us.

"Stop crying, baby. Your ate Carrissa will be sad because she saw you crying. She didn't like it. Did she? " Mom said trying to console me.

"Mom, I'm sorry because it was my fault. I was so stubborn and hard-headed. " I said while sobbing.

"sssssh, it was not your fault baby. We didn't blame you. Stop blaming yourself. It is no one fault. Everything happens with a purpose." she said.

"Stop crying sweet. I might cry." Dad said

"Daaaaad."

"I'm just trying to lighten up the mood of my baby Princess," he said.

"Let's go. Carrissa won't like it if we are too emotional. She hates drama. " Kuya Chester said.

We bid goodbye to Ate Carrissa and left the cemetery.

"Where are we going?" I asked while kuya is driving.

"Let's bond together. Somewhere that you love." kuya Chester replied.

"Okay." I turned on the stereo and listening to the music.

After an hour, we reach our destination. It's amazing. We are here in the La Vida Resort.

The breeze of the sea invites me to step down the white sand. It is a beautiful resort that I have visited ever. There is a beautiful facade and colorful flowers everywhere.
