The Aging Post

"We're not invincible anymore, K."


It was a Sunday night. I went to see a good friend whom I haven't seen for more than half a year.


The weather was chilly. But the night was perfect for a glass of wine.


"Hay, totoo yan G. And I have realized that this past 2018."


K looked at his glass of wine. He swirled it lightly. The wine twirled around the shape of the glass like thin blood.


"I had two painful deaths this year, one was a good friend of mine and the other was an aunt whom I have been very close to. They were treasures to me."


He walked to his table. There was a Funko Pop Maleficent doll placed atop.


"This is my remembrance from my friend, D."


Tinignan ko si K. He looked at the doll and looked outside the window.


"Ang hirap pala G ano? When you die para kang isang memorabilia. Pinapunta kami ng kapatid ni D sa bahay, pinapili kung anong mga gamit gusto namin. Tapos yung mga hindi na makukuha, itatapon. Ititira ang isang litrato sa kwarto."


Makulay.


Nakangiti.


Inosente.


Nakalipas.


"My deepest condolences to D's family. K, ganyan ang buhay. We are mere mortals after all."


"Totoo yan."


He drank a bit of wine.


Bumalik siya sa upuan.


"Ikaw, kamusta kayo ng date mo? Happy?"


Typical K. He always asks me this. Mga 1,000,000 times niya na itong tinanong. Natutuwa pa rin ako pag tinatanong niya ito.


"I am. I truly am." I smiled at him.


"Pero ganoon talaga K, you really have to put effort."


"Paano'ng effort?" He asked.


"You know waking up para lutuan siya ng ulam and then ihahatid ko sa work on Sunday morning. I have never done this before. Never done this before."


Napatawa kami.


"OMG you turning a new leaf? This seems so...Not you!"


Tumawa ulit kami.


"Hoy! I know I've been selfish before pero things are different now."


I chuckled while looking at my wineglass.


"Iba pala dati K. I didn't know what effort was. Kaya nga siguro it didn't work out before. I lacked effort. I was at the center of my own universe."


I smirked.


"And we all learn from them dear." K replied.


Lumalalim ang gabi habang lumalalim rin ang aming usapan.
