Before He Go To Heaven: A Final Good-bye.

So last year, I share to you guys about a friend of mine who suffered from Rheumatic Heart for the past 17 years and passed away last Sept 12, 2018 in the age of 17. He'll turn 18 at oct 26, 2018 but he's too weak to fight during that time. And now, he's turning 22 at Oct 26, 2022 also.

Time flies so fast, I still remember his voice, his gestures, how happy we was and how friendly he is.

So where did I met him?

I met him at Graal Online Classic while I'm playing and do guild wars. I'll not explain what guild wars is, he was super friendly, talkative, full of happiness kind of person. At first, I thought he was just flirty and love being friendly with anyone but I'm wrong, when me and him start talking to each other I realized that he was a really good person.

I find out that he's from Laguna, and I am from Laguna too. I suddenly remember that there was a boy who used to be my playmate when I was still a kid. But of course, I didn't pay attention to it because I never thought that it was him. I stayed at Santa Rosa before and he stayed there also.

So what happened is, I posted a picture at facebook before when I graduated into my kindergarten. He took a screenshot of it and send it to the gc where we belong together. He told me that, "Uy kamukha mo yung dora na kalaro ko,". (T:/ Hey you looks like my playmate dora).

At first, I misread it like "You looks like dora.", And I answered him, "How do you know that they call me that?".

He was like, "Wait, so they really call you that?". And that where I find out that he's the guy who were once my playmate 😂 what a small world. We chat and chat and chat together until we two became bestfriend, he's the one who cheering me up and he's the one who loves making jokes.

Not until I found out that he had a Rheumatic Heart, he said, he already have that kind of disease when we was still 5 yerasold. I saw his old pictures, he used to be a chubby person like the person who's with me years ago.

We spend our time together until we met a girl named Jiliane, me and Jiliane were close to each other and he was calling me "Big sis.", Gerome started to like her and I didn't even know that. Until Jiliane start to open up and says that she like gerome. So I asked gerome if she like someone, he didn't hesitate to open up and he said, "Because your my best friend I'll tell you who I like.", And he said he likes Jiliane.

I said that I'll be a cupid for both of them. I told Jiliane to meet me into this place at this hour and also I told Gerome the same. I know that they'll get along to each other since have the same attutude and I had a feeling that they'll will have the same things in their personalities. I'm not wrong, they were shock because if thought it was me who will meet but instead it's them.

They told me at first they were too shock, like why did I plan that? It's just my instinct that's why I helped them.

Years passed, they were already 1 year and we didn't know that the worst thing is coming.

Gerome and I had an argument and since that me and him didn't get along to each other.

But lemme say one thing,

He was my bitcoin partner.

Yes, he really is.

Okay let's go back,

At first, I thought it was the only me that he had an argument but I found out that he had an argument into the whole group. One of my friend said, "Something's fishy", and I agree. I mean, why would he do that? He's not like that. I known him for like 3-4 years and he didn't become like that even once. Only that time.

And at night, he's GF told me that they're fighting because he don't want to take his meds. I told Jiliane that maybe he was stressed or have a problem but yeah everything seems off. She said, Gerome is not feeling well for the past few days and stop drinking his meds. I was wondering why he stopped because the doctor required him to take his medicine so that he's strong during he's operation by December 2018.

But no,

At August 22, 2018 I lost my communication to him and I can't contact him any of the social media. Jiliane started to feel worried because of Gerome. He didn't chat us, he didn't answering the call and he's phone was turned off. We have no idea that he's already on the hospital and he's in a critical condition already.

Around 1pm, at Sept 12, 2018, I was in the mirror while combing my hair. And I saw him behind my back. He's just staring and I saw sadness on his eyes, I thought I was only hallucinating and when I look behind me I didn't saw anyone. And when I looked again in the mirror, he's already gone.

After 3 weeks, at Sept 12, 2018, Jiliane chatted me that she receive a chat from Gerome's older sister saying, "Hes Gone". She told me to keep quiet because meybe Gerome's big sister were just joking, but I suddenly remember that I saw Gerome behind my back. I didn't tell her about that, I just told her that I'll update her if I got any news from his sister.

And I ask his sister if it was real, it's the time where I confirmed that he's gone already.

At 5pm, on Sept 12, 2018 she called me. Her class was just finished that time and she ask me if I got something. I didn't say a word, and he started being hysterical. She was shouting and crying, begging me to say that I was just joking. I can't say a words during that time.

I don't know how to confront her, I don't know how to say it.

Sept 13, 2018, his older sister called me via messenger. I saw the sadness in her eyes, during this time, I can't help but to cry also. And I remember what I saw in the mirror,

After I remember that, I hear a word saying, "Good-bye," it was a whisper but a very cold voice.

And yes,

I lost a bestfriend.

Author's Note:

Wherever he was right now, I knew that he's happy. He's gone too soon, he leaves too soon. There's so many people who loves him, who cared for him. But none of them think this thing could happened faster. Maybe, it was a God plan after all.

And Hi gerome, Wherever you are right now...always remember that we missed you so much. Don't worry, let's meet again next to the life! I'll be your best friend until the next life. See you there, buddy.
