Till We Meet Again, Nisa

"Pag ako namatay, iiyak ka ba?"

If my memory serves me well, she asked me this one almost three years ago.

"Oo naman!"

I was hoping to comfort her because she looked a bit serious at that moment... a different side from what she always shows to other people - a jolly and trouble-free girl.


She's this all-around class jester. She is known for her funny antics and for that she is well-loved by everyone. Who wouldn't? Nisa is someone who wants every face smiling.

I received the bad news that she already passed away. I was in complete denial. I kept on saying no and thought that she's just pulling a prank to the whole wave... but unfortunately no. Feb. 15, she already joined our dear Lord. I cried... and looked for the almost withered bracelet she bought for me 2 years ago when we met and pulled it closer to my heart.

"Alam nyo, wag nyong lolokohin ang mga joker, kasi minsan sila pa ang problemado, dinadaan nalang sa patawa."

Contrary to what most people see... her life is full of challenges.

As we lie down in my room and exchange sentiments... I felt her and I can't even imagine living her life.

3 years later... I found her lying in a coffin... lifeless. A lot of things flashed before my eyes... if there's one thing I regret doing, it's failing to tell her that I love her and she means a lot to me. People come and go in our lives... but Nisa never left my heart. She helped me in a lot of different ways and I am thankful for having a friend like her. I love you my dear friend, dalawin mo naman ako sa panaginip and tell me how beautiful heaven is. =)

We love you, Nisa! You will always be remembered! - Wave 77 (Etelecare Global Solutions)
