Remember Me This Way

Goodbye and Hello

Ems pov

        Malaki ang utang na loob alam ko nagbayad ako for therapy  pero kung di dahil sa tiyaga niya at encouragement di ako magsisikap sa therapy namin. .Lahat ng words of wisdom niya  ang naging inspiration ko para magsikap at magtiya na makalakad ako ulit. And here I am back to being normal again.Alam kong ito na yung last day ng session namin sa therapy kaya naman naghanda ako para pasasalamat. I am really thankful sa mga tao na andiyan parin sakin kahit na nung times na down ako. I really want a fresh start in my life. Marmi akong dapat ayusin sa buhay lalong lalo na kailangan na ako ng company. Marami akong dapat asikasuhin after the accident. I really wish andito pa sila mom and dad. I still miss them everyday.

Alam ko may mga may mga maga bagay pa na dapat e clear out especially of what i felt to my therapist. Tama nga ang desisyon ko na ipasintabi muna ang nararamdaman ko for Laura kasi diko alam baka makakaapekto yun sa session namin. Puting personally issues parang di maganda if you have a goal kaya naman I am thankful na pareho namin senet aside ang feelings namin pero diko mapigilan malungkot kasi ito yung last na makikita ko siya sa house. Wala na akong makaka usap araw araw. I know nandiyan si Joanne pero medyo nasanay narin ako sa ilang buwan na kasama si Laura sa bahay. I will really miss her.

Laura pov

         It's a success for me na makita na nakakalakad na si Ems. Nakakabuhay ng loob na magkaroon ng positive outcome ang profession mo. Tama nga si kuya I can help Ems. I knew she's really happy. I can see it in her face now. But why there's a part of me that feel sad. Hindi ito ang nararamdaman ko when my patient is successfully healed. Maybe the way I choose my path kaya ako my lungkot. Chose to be quite on my feelings for her is really difficult. But doing things in professional way is a must para sa ganitong situation.. Naisip ko din ang situation that Im her therapist and its not good to make any relationship to her that can possibly hurt or affect her willingness. I knew it is the right thing to do but  who knows someday our paths may cross again yung tipong no professional needs ang kailangan.As of now im enjoying the success of my profession and celebrating the happiness of my patient.

         Nagpa thanks giving party si Ems para sa muli niyang paglalakad at pasasalamat pati na sakin. I am happy that she appreciates me. At ininvite niya ang mga kaibigan niya. Marami pala siyang kaibigan then why i didnt see them during Ems downdays. I know some of them nakikipagkaibigan lang kay Ems because she has money. Hays i feel sorry for her. I saw Joanne and Lenard. Nag uusap at medyo seryoso pinag uusapan nila. Joanne and I were friends now not that close friend but were trying to be okey. And this Lenard naman i still dont trust that guy. I don't know but there's something with Emily ex that intrigues me. Hinanap ko si Ems parang diko pa siya nakikita, hanggang my nagsalita sa likuran ko. She looks gourgeos...

"I hope you enjoy this evening."

Si Ems pala. Oh God she's beautiful.

"Oo naman, success yung paghihirap natin" 

"Are you sure para ka kasing statue diyan nag iisa ka lang diyan? Why dont you join the crowd? Come on papakilalal ko sa kanila ang napakapasensyoso ko na therapist.

"No wag na Ems okey lang ako dito. Honestly di ako sanay sa ganitong scene Ems na maraming tao but honestly im okey in here."

"Are you sure?"

" Yes sure"

"Ahm Luo can i talk to you in private."

"Sure"

Sumunod ako kay Ems sa study room niya. Medyo kinabahan ako sa sasabihin niya  then nakita ko sa mga mata niya na my lungkot.

"Laura ,for the past months i think i never say it personally. Thank you for being a patient therapist. Utang ko sayo tong panibagong buhay nato. This is the second time you saved me. Thank you so much."

"No Ems this time  it's yourself that saved you ,without your determination  in  this therapy di tayo magiging successful sa atin goal. I know Im your therapist pero it's yourself ang naging susi na maging successful ang theraphy nato."

Then i was really shock what happen naging tood ako sandali.

Nilapitan ako ni Ems at hinalikan sa lips. Di ko inexpect na gagawin niya yun. But this time hindi nagtagal ang halik. Maraming meaning ang naiwan sa isip ko after she kiss me and why she kiss me?

"I hope this isnt a goodbye Laura. I hope someday our paths will cross again. And in that time who knows ." 

"Difinitely this is not a goodbye Ems. Tama ka maraming pang pagkakataon na magkikita tayong muli. Siguro when that time comes pwede ko na sabihin sayo lahat but for now let us celebrate sa achievements nating dalawa. You really need this time para e reconnect ang sarli mo sa dati mong mundo. Start with the hello of new begginings."

"Kaya kita mamimiss Luo because of that, your words really stuck on people's heart. Are you sure na dika Psychocologist?"

Ngumiti ako kay Ems at nakita ko ang aliwalas ng kanyang ngiti.

Matagal ang naging usapan namin ni Emily. Nakalimutan na namin ang party niya. Maya maya ay kinatok kami ng yaya ni Ems hinanap na daw siya ng bisita niya kaya naisipan na namin na bumalik.

"Halika na balik na tayo dun for sure hinanap ka na ng mga bisita mo"

"What an ironic na marami akong bisita ngayon Luo but when in wheelchair parang di nangalahati yung andito sa bumisita sakin at that time. If di lang sila mga family bussiness friend I will never invite them"

Ayaw ko makita nalulungkot si Ems this time, alam kong may punto ang sinabi niya but this is her thanksgiving party not them kaya I need to cheer her.

" Ay naku tama na yang drama, wag kana paapekto okey? Goodbye mo yung mga negativity  sa buhay at hello na tayo sa new begginings okey? Masisira ang beauty natin niyan"

Ems hug me.
